~Article 2 Summary~ 'Judging the Outside'

In this article Judging the Outside, Karissa Febert argues that prejudice against ones appearance effects people and there feelings. She claims that middle and high school years for a student are the years where you will be judged mostly by your looks. Febert develops this claim by first personally sharing how it was even harder to see its effects on one of her closest friends. Febert descriptively explains how judgment affected her friend tremendously, along with the many other people being judged. Lastly, the author states that life is about getting to know people by who they are in the inside. Life is not about judging people you do not know just for the label of being “popular.” Karissa Febert’s purpose is to share her personal story about her friend in order to let other people who are also being judged that they are not alone. This work is significant because it helps give a better idea from a teenager’s point of view. I can relate to what they think about judgmental people. Having a good self esteem is what can get you past the ignorant people that judge.
