Lauren's Story

             When I was young my mother would always say treat others as you wish to be treated, now that I am older I find it hard to satisfy my mother's wishes. I try everyday to be considerate, but many of us don't. Being inconsiderate is morally wrong, but is unavoidable in our lives today. .
             Webster dictionary defines inconsiderate as being not thoughtful of other people; thoughtless. Inconsiderate people flood our country in astonishing numbers. The reasons for being callous vary as much as their ways of being thoughtless. Most inconsiderate people tend to be outspoken. People you see that look seem to think they are cool to speak to. Another type of inconsiderate person is one's that pretend not to be insensitive. Certain types of friends often fall into this category; they are often referred to as backstabbers. The last type is people who are oblivious to being cruel. We see merciless people everyday, but what we fail to realize that is impossible not to be inconsiderate right along with them.
             We have all seen at least one rude person in our lifetime; they act as if the world revolves around them and they are somehow doing us a favor by allowing us to live on the same planet as them, as if that was some kind of great privilege (Carlson1). These are the people that will tell a person what's on their mind at any given time. The feeling of being better than everyone is often formed at a young age; most wealthy families have a mind set. The fact they were brought up in this type of family has such an impact on a person; they have this destructive self-esteem their whole lives. They could care less whether you like what they say because they are going to say it anyway. .
             As I was walking to class, I overheard a conversation about an obese girl that was walking two feet in front of the two rudest men I have ever met. This was like taking a knife and ripping at the heart of the young lady and the fact they were loud above everything else made me upset.
