I watched the film: "Not like everyone else" last night.
It’s a story about a person's civil rights.
A young girl is victimised because she looks, dresses and writes a little different to the supposed 'norm'!
She gets treated poorly by other students, the school principle and teachers etc, after they begin to fear that she is maybe disturbed and a fret to others.
It all takes place after the tragic Columbine shootings.
It's a very good film that speaks about our fears of what is different.
In a world where we have such things as differences in religious beliefs etc, we need to question ourselves as to how we treat others.
Some may say that we also need to protect ourselves; and I would agree. However, making assumptions without taking the time to understand a persons differences is not protecting ourselves, its victimising others.
