My feelings...

I am actually glad that we got to discuss how we were feeling about the outcome of the elections during class. If it were not for our discussion I would still have all my emotions bottled up. Our class discussion helped me know that I am not the only one upset on the outcome. Since hearing who our new president is I have felt sick to my stomach thinking of what it will be like the next four years. I am not upset that Trump won over Hilary. I am upset of what his actions might be because of what he has said in the media and what he stands for. He has no filter and does not realize that as a president candidate he should be more careful with his words. Trump has made fun of and said discriminatory comments against minorities, people with disabilities, and the LGBTQ community. It is NOT okay to discriminate against someone just because they are different. Who cares! Let everyone do what they want to do! If it is not affecting, you personally than why do you have to go out of your way to be rude and demeaning?  Not only am I upset of who our president is but I am also saddened on how people have been reacting on both sides of the party. If someone wants to protest, then by all means do it but without violence. Violence is not going to solve anything it will only make things worse. I have heard stories and read comments online about how even young children are saying mean things to their fellow classmates. Some of these students feel fearful of what will happen to them and their families. I have a 14-year-old brother who has autism and is a freshman in high school this year and has already had a rough transition from one school to another. I do not need for him to be bullied by other students because of his race or disability. Just thinking about it make me upset and heartbroken. I hope that our country can come back together without hate and violence, and that we can all get along even with our differences.
