. Rejection .

    I think I am safe when I say that everyone has been rejected in some kind of way during their lifetime. Whether this was from a job, friends, groups, sports teams, your family etc. and I have never heard from someone that it feels good to be rejected. Well this is.. because it doesn't feel good at all! Wanting to be accepted in society is human nature.There is nothing wrong with wanting to be accepted either, however being accepted does not give the permission to be anyone other than ones self. Many people make that mistake especially teens. Teens are known to give into something called peer pressure. Peer pressure is the iinfluence that comes from members of one's peer group. Peer pressure could lead to so many negative things but also good things as well. It just depends on the scenario.....


   ( **So in high school there are the very well known cliques. There is the popular group that consists of the jocks, cheerleaders, and skaters. Then there are the not so popular cliques like the drama club, the nerds and the academics club.**)
   So if there is a new girl that started going to the school . She most likely is going to get rejected in some of these cliques. With this scenario there are stereotypes that are involved and peer pressure too. Stereo types play a large role in rejection because people separate each other in groups that they say fit them. A stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image of a particular type of person. For some teens this means striving to reach for their expectations they set as a group. This is wear peer pressure gets involved with rejection. If say the new girl does not live up to the stereo type of the cheerleaders she will get rejected from that group.


   This can effect a persons' self esteem greatly in negative ways. The emotional tole someone can go through because of rejection might surprise some people. Rejection can lead to depression, being suicidal or even death. Everyone hears stories about bullying and rejection and how it lead to death for many teens. The power of rejection can make teens feel, alone, betrayed and worthless and stereotypes and peer pressure intensify the chances of these things happening. That's why i believe we should be like Christ and open up our arms for everyone!

When you're following your inner voice, doors tend to eventually open for you, even if they mostly slam at first.”
