Kindness Is Important, By Makaila Odoom

One of the most important things to remember in life, is that you never know what someone might be going through. The outer appearance, doesn't always show what's in the heart. 

Your friend might be smiling, but upset about that one "harmless joke" you made yesterday. Think before you speak. If you think that your words might be taken as offensive, or hurtful, then there is no need to say them.

Don't make rude comments about how people look or act, or what beliefs they have. Everyone is different, and you have to respect that.

Also, if someone does something hurtful to you, talk to them, stand up for yourself. Don't let them push you around. You are not a puppet. You are strong and you can do anything you put your mind to. Whether that is confronting your bully, separating yourself from someone who acts toxic, or talking to someone who seems lonely.

Be kind, make a difference, bring everyone together. It may sound impossible, but every little act of selflessness helps.
