.
months have past since i left school for another school. my heart has never left though. there's always this curiosity in me to find out what's happening in school, and to be up-to-date on every event happening in school, from the campaigning season for head girl to netball competitions.
well, things were totally different compared to this school i'm currently studying in. i couldn't not compare as everything in this school has appeared to be such a big shock to me the first time i set my foot onto this place.
i'll touch on a few here :-
firstly, the assembly. students are all over the place. singing negaraku was just a song to them. they disrespect the national song & make fun of it. they do not listen to announcements. they talk and talk and talk even when the headmistress is speaking in front. they've no respect for teachers at all. of course, when i'm saying this, i'm referring to 2/3 of the students here. there's still another 1/3 normal-human-behaving students here, thank god.
secondly, they act like primary school students. they do not listen to u. they would break every school rule they could. they make a fool of themselves. even the form 5 students are like that. why do they act like this? who made them like this? their parents? teachers? peers? friends? or perhaps, they themselves?
thus, this conclusion.
i believe all of them have a choice. a choice of choosing the path they want to lead. the life is theirs. the choice is theirs. it's their right to determine what kind of life they want to have in the future. but the question here is, why did they choose this path? i'm not trying to exaggerate here, but this's the fact. maybe it's immaturity. but still, this doesn't explain everything. how about those form 5's whom are already leaving school after spm? how are they going to survive in the outside world, with the attitude they're carrying? what kind of life will they have then?
i don't and i can't understand why.
everyone wants to have a beautiful life, a life worth living. but without good moral values and attitude, how are they to develop good relationships with other people? before you even want to think about being respected, first, learn how to have respect for others. you must have respect. a strong and powerful 7-letter word that means so much. it is the very basic thing in everyone's life. if you don't have this, then don't even have the slightest hope to have others respecting you in return.
thirdly, respect again, and this time, for women. we are not born to have guys taking advantage on us, whenever they feel like it. there's this case some time ago, when a schoolmate was harassed by two form 3 boys. she was helpless. she did not know what to do. i tried to calm her down and find out what had actually happened to her. she couldn't even speak properly. she could only cry and cry, and finally, told me in between sobs, "he touched me.. he grab me.. then both of them laughed at me when i shouted at them." when asked where did the incident occur, she said, "i was doing my prefect duty at the staircase (which is very visible to other people should the harassment occur)." it was my first encounter of a real life situation with a schoolmate, or rather, a friend. i was very upset and angry, to hear this. i can't believe form 3 boys in my school can actually do this. where are their respect for us, women? it's pretty obvious that they're enjoying the time of their life, being able to laugh at her and all. sadly, there were no witness. i advised her to report the case immediately to the pk hem, or at least a female teacher. i can not have these people wandering around harassing another female student again. but she was frightened, afraid and embarassed. and i have to respect her decision.
