Life Without Rejection: Not possible.

There is no perfect society anywhere in the world. There are always going to be those people who draw themselves away from what we have all agreed to call normal. People who in the eyes of someone society has excepted as normal will see this poor person who may not be hurting anyone and hurt them. There is not society that accepts all. Todays society rejects people for the way they look and from their heritage, in the past the rejection was greater but we still reject people who are different. And places of religious worship casts away sinners from  the society of that particular religion. If no one was rejected we would not have people we have agreed to consider "bad" we would have people that did not do what they were told or expected to and were tolerable for being rebellious but not looked at in any other different light. But there will always be a better and a worse, a right and a wrong, we have adapted ourselves to think this way and we will never change that outlook. "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone" a quote derived from the Bible.

Agreed 100%. Rejection is inevitable. I don't think there is anybody on this earth that can say they've never been rejected or that they've never rejected another. It's huuman nature. People are naturally judgemental and can have a tendency to "other" individuals for different reasons. Rejection has been around since the dawn of time. Whether, it's your race, ethnicity, religion, fashion choice, or body type, people can't avoid it. A sad but true fact of life.

I'm not sure that rejection is as bad as we all make it out to be. If you are rejected for the reasons you guys gave (looks, ethnicity, etc.) then you can recognize that the person judging you isn't worth your time and get more in touch with your unique itentity.
But if someone rejects you for a legitimate reason, then you have the chance to truly analyze yourself and possibly see something you don't like.
In the end you are given an opportunity look at yourself from someone else's point of view. If you like what you see, then ignore the person and feel better about yourself.

Everyone has been rejected before. Lets face it; rejection sucks. But everyone goes through it. I have been rejected before, and i have been a rejecter. It will always happen. Especially in a highschool enviorment. There will always be people that dont agree with what you are doing. You cant really stop rejection. People will have their own opinions. We have to learn how to look past it. Let people think what they want to think. If they dont want you, then the hell with them. Yes you might be rejected by some, but then accepted by others. And those are the people who really matter. People are going to judge you. Don't let them get to you. Haters will hate!

Being rejected is not a good feeling because you get the sense of feeling as if you do not belong. I think that everyone has been rejected at least once in their life, especially during the teen years. Teens are more self conscious about themselves and people tend to be judgmental. People judge based on your race, religion, fashion choice or body type but people can't help it.
