Tolerance Journal Entry 2

I think that some people have shorter fuses than other people, and that's why it seems like certain people have less tolerance than other people. People have more tolerance on some days, and less on others. If I'm having a bad day, of course I'm not going to have a lot of tolerance for everyone. A few years ago, I started doing different things than the girls in my class and they didn't like it. It was all of them against me. They judged me and made fun of me because I wasn't exactly like them, or exactly like I used to be. I absolutely hated it at first and it made me feel terrible, but after I realized I didn't need them anymore I was fine. I've hardly trusted the girls in my class that made me feel bad. I found new friends to have, and other things to do. It was hard at the time, but I'm fine with it now. It made me smarter, more independent, and made me put more effort into trusting people.
I think tolerance is something you acquire in your childhood. It depends how tolerant your parents are. If you see them being alright with anyone and everyone, then you'll most likely be very tolerant as well.
