Think It If You Want, But Don't SAY It
-
A Canadian teen's response to her classmates putting her on an online survey about the ugliest girls in their high school has gone viral, and she's right, the poll is dehumanizing and disgusting (though she says so in an eloquent and thoughtful manner). But kids -- adults, too -- will always be judging and ranking and considering people hot-or-not. That's not to condone the cruelty of posting a list of "ugly" people online -- and there's a great "South Park" episode about kids making lists of classmates ranked by appearance, and Cartman is not in last place, which is part of the plot -- but the bullying doesn't obscure the fact that even the people decrying the bullying make judgements on attractiveness all the time.
