Joseph Montejano, a 16 year old student who goes to Yerba Buena High school, knows the feeling of being antisocial and labeled. Other people have experienced this problem as well. Many students have experienced superiority between themselves and others. We feel inferior towards other people based off how we look, our imperfections, or how others judge us.
According to 2knowmyself.com, young people in distress leads to subordination (people feeling less than others) in human relationships based off emotion that proves people feeling inferior to another.
Many kids in school use such things called “labels” which separates one another based off what they believe, and it may be based off our race or what hobbies we like. There is certain groups such as, the geeks, jocks, couples, populars, antisocials, or the drama creators.
By having such groups like this it makes people feel like there’s a certain group that is better than the others while the other groups feel less than the rest. They exist to make people feel better than others, by doing so, it makes them feel good while the group they discriminate feels bad about themselves.
An example of this statement, is that I’m one of these people that has to face this. I personally have many labels, but opinion wise, I would label myself “Antisocial” because even though I love meeting new people, I find it hard to start a conversation with others & being able to maintain composure of it. I find people that have self confidence to be better than me, “The reason why everyone doubts their own label, is because another person has a natural trait that any individual lacks.”

According to Joseph, “I believe that the popular ones are seen as the most highest ranking next to the drama creators, my group, the antisocials, is probably the lowest ranking group.”
Joseph used to live the life of where he was socially active with other people, regardless of what labels they had on him. Joseph says that his confidence went away, from people always judging him from how he looks or what his favorite hobbies were.
After Joseph started hearing a lot of rumors going on about him, he started to lose confidence in himself and he personally started to label himself antisocial.
Joseph says, “Superior people always get inferior people to do their bidding.”
People who feel inferior are forced to adapt to their new lifestyle, they start to careless about how others label them and accept it.
Joseph said that it used to affect how he lived his everyday life. He would constantly think about it and doubt himself, but he started to careless because he felt no point of trying to fight back his label.
Another person by the name of Hung Nguyen, also a student at Yerba Buena High school, deals with being labeled. His personal opinion of how he labels himself is the “Nerd” and he says he’s fine with being labeled like that.
The reason why he thinks he’s a Nerd is because he thinks it’s really hard to excel into making new friends, he doesn’t like to be sociable with others and starting conversations. He rather meet people who have the same interests with him, and that can also be willing to be with him, than people who lack the expectations of what he desires.
He also feels like the drama creators are usually the group whose grouped as the highest ranking group because he feels like they are “the center of attention.” Hung doesn’t really let his label phase who he really wants to be, but the only thing that puts his label to the test is when he’s forced into peer pressure of doing things.
Joseph says, “I always want to be able to do the right thing, because if I let it happen, I know it’s going to cost
me in the future.”
He feels that we all separate from one another, because of the sense of what has happened to each one of us in the past who has made who we really are now.
Hung says, “We can’t label one another based off how we look, you have to know who they really are before you judge them, because they can be more than what you expected.”
