Loving a boy wasn't so bad–but Ming was a boy and his secret was found out. Then the walls of his home became a prison, disgust dripping off the walls like wet paint. The warmth that his parents always radiated flew away with their understanding and in its place was bone-chilling disappointment and disdain. At school, the mean ones jeered and laughed while the rest spared him nothing more than glances. He hoped the boy he knew never found out, even as blood as red as roses trickled down his wrists.

He only wanted to love another boy.

A Chinese man living in New York makes his way to the grocery store just like any other person. He wears a mask just like everyone else to take precautions, especially during the crucial period of the outbreak of COVID-19. As soon as he steps into the grocery store, a racist American couple stops him in his steps, demanding in an angry tone for him to get out of the grocery store. They shoved him, made racist comments, told him that he should not be here to spread the virus. The Chinese man felt indignant. Why should he, a 10 year American resident of New York, be outcasted by others? Why can't he buy his daily groceries for his family just like everyone else? He has not travelled to China in years to visit his hometown as he was busy working to earn money and is contributing to the American society. He was just like any other American. Why should he tolerate such racist acts just because he is Chinese?

As we enjoy the privilege of being able to go to school and receive education, some children in certain countries are not able to. Education is important in helping us to acquire knowledge and improve ourselves, so that we can contribute to society in the future. It is unfair for those children, who may be younger than us or even the same age as us, to be unable to receive education, and might then live the rest of their lives doing what they not might not want, but cannot help themselves because they do not know how to.

Once, the clean and clear water was filled with marine life and activity. Fishermen would go out into the waters to catch fish for income, and cruises would sail across the water, fetching animated visitors to see the most beautiful scenery. Life was peaceful and happy. But there were always inconsiderate people, that do not spare a thought for others. They would selfishly discard their rubbish and waste into the clear waters, just for convenience! Over time, the rubbish piled up sky high, and the water gradually turned murky. The vibrant marine life also started to suffocate, wither, and die. With the heavy pollution, the lack of marine life, or of the alluring scenery, the island lost its appeal. Visitors steered away from this "garbage dump" as well, disgusted by the rubbish strewn everywhere. Without the marine life, the locals who sustained themselves by fishing, lost their livelihood, and were forced to move away. This once vibrant island was now reduced to a deserted wasteland filled with heaps of foul trash.

A child was born mentally disabled. He is frustrated with himself because he is trying really hard to understand others but to no avail. No one understands him or what he is going through. Everyone is staring and pointing at him. He hears some laughter and some whispers, something about stupid? Suddenly all the voices echo through his head. "Dumb little boy! No friends! I wonder if he can actually understand us. Shouldn't he go to the hospital or something?" He covers his ears, trying to get all the voices out of his head, out of his world. The voices get louder instead and he starts shivering. "Go away!" he screams with all the courage he could muster up. Tears pour down his face. Everyone quickly walked away, shocked by his sudden outburst. It is finally quiet, he thought.

The man gazes out across the river as he plows through in his boat. All around him, stinking, filthy heaps of junk cover every inch of the water. A toxic black substance clots the water surface, emitting a chemical stench. There are even a few unidentifiable animal corpses floating by, swarming with flies. Once, the water was clear and pure, and fish darted among the reeds. He would have cast his net and caught fish to feed his family, sell it to earn money, and share the remaining with his neighbours. Now, there is no more fish. There is no more life left in what was once a spring of life. And slowly, the poison is seeping into the land nearby. The stunted, leafless trees all around him are evidence of the ruin that has been waged. So many have had to give up their ways of life, like him. If only people had cared before it was too late.

A child with special needs getting bullied and discriminated. No one understands, the person thinks as the people laughs at her. She doesn't completely understand what they're saying, or what they're doing; but she understands their tone, understands their voices; she knows they are saying something downtthe lines of 'stupid' and 'why do you have it easy if you're dumber than us' and 'why don't you have a to do...'. But they don't understand; it's not easy - she has to face the fact that lights are blinding her, that she doesn't understand a single thing the teachers teach. Sure, she doesn't have to take Chinese because of that, but they don't see the way she stares at a Chinese character for hours because she can't even comprehend it, or the failing marks she always received and the constant attention from the teachers as a result. It's not easy in any way, and these people just don't seem to or even try to understand that.

We are Earth. And we are burning. The sky is red, now. Streaks of haze painting the sky like it was God's last gift to us. My brother clutches onto my fingers, crying. I am crying to, but I pretend not to. I hold him closer to me. We are standing on where our home used to be. Our huts, burned like melted candles - toppled, broke - crumbled.  The ashes arm our feet, not like soil, but like bones, like gritted teeth. The ashes contains their blood, and soon, ours.

Put yourself in others' shoes is what they always say but how many people genuinely do it? If everyone did the same all these tragedies could have been prevented. Animals and humans would all be treated the same. There would be no such thing as abuse, mistreatment. No one would ever have to face the struggle of picking themselves up or watching as you lose a loved one. There would be equality. As we sit here comfortably typing out stories, there are many groups of people and animals suffering. Icebergs are melting due to our selfish actions of not caring enough for the environment. So many people are starving yet we still waste food. Animals are being hunted for the jewellery and clothes that we don. Everyone has feelings and no one is deserving of such harsh treatments. But are we all really selfish? What impact can one person make?

He drops dead on his table and the pen rolls out of his hand. He looks at the paper in desolation, knowing that sighing, crying, and sleeping has truly lost its meaning after all these years. It's no use. No matter how hard he cries and how loud he screams life just goes on, same old miserable boredom and never being able to live up to his full potential and live the way he want to no matter how hard he works. Everything he does is to prevent misery, rather than to chase happiness. So many of the things he wants to do are simple unachievable given his circumstances. In a country that prioritizes its image on the global stage rather than its people, what's freedom?

Why are my parents always fighting? Why can't I have a loving family like the rest of my friends?This is what I, a child from a broken home think of on a day to day basis. Instead of focusing on my studies or having fun with friends like the rest of the kids my age, I am constantly preoccupied which such thoughts. Sometimes I show little emotional response when my parents are fighting as I am anxious about what other people may think of me. I have little to no friends in school Children from broken homes are unable to experience the same amount of love and care as compared to a normal family.

The child does not do his homework. He is told to try harder. The real world will not be so forgiving. The child does not do his homework. Everyone else can do it, but there seems to be something broken inside him. The child does not do his homework. Until the numbers in his head have been branded deep enough, he is nothing but a parasitic pile of waste.

Staring at the jumbled mess of cables and wires, he squints as he tries to find where each wire starts and ends. His graded assignment is due in an hour, and worst of all, his laptop’s battery is dead, making it impossible for him to submit it in. Panicking, he tries to find the cable to charge his laptop but it is lost in the jumbled mess of cables that are sitting in front of him. He could just try and pull out all of the cables and untangle them to find the right one but it could take too long. And even if it did not take long, he could also accidentally disconnect the wifi router whose cable is also tangled in the wired mess. Then, he would have to spend time connecting that as well. At a loss of what to do, the student cries out in frustration as the clock ticks ever closer to the deadline, uncaring of his plight.

dressed in a pristine crisp pinafore, i watched in my car, a girl, barely older than me. she was dressed in a dirty shirt, hands holding on the a grimy crumpled paper cup with a small amount of coins. she sat on the bare floor and stared at me, eyes filled with longing. my brows furrowed in confusion as i wondered why she did not go to school. i opened my mouth to speak but the car moved past her and brought me, into the gates of education, leaving the girl slowly but surely behind.

People suffering from being casted out. People, cats, dogs, living beings are all around us. It is natural for us to assume that everyone or everything is at the same "level" as we expect them to be, like expecting a fit looking person to be good in sports or expecting a person who is good looking to be popular. As such, when they do not meet our so-called expectations, we tend to cast them out, expecting that THEY be responsible for the pressure we put on THEM. Many people say that pressure is essential for one's survival as it teaches them how to survive in the real world. However, when put into the wrong context like this, it does the opposite and instead, we have created a group of people despised by society and not treated as a part of. These people will then develop a feeling that they "are indeed not worthy", spindling their minds into a new realm of the abyss, as they crouch in the dark with their heads tucked into a cradle position as the outside world isolates them for their so called incompetency, thinking to themselves, "Why have I become like this?"

People part of the LGBT+ community being looked down on or made fun of in their daily lives, unable to live a normal day without having to face discrimination at least once. They get mistreated or do not get to enjoy certain privileges that others have. Some of them do not get support even from their own family and many lose confidence in themselves due to discrimination. These people are excluded from society and are made fun of or bullied everyday solely because of their preference, and because of the hate they get, they no longer have the courage to stand proudly. Because of other's views on them, they think of themselves as people with "flaws" just because of their difference in preference, and lose the confidence they once had. Other's are biased against them and in everyday life, people in the community get mistreated for no reason. This problem can be solved simply by changing our views on these people, if we learn to welcome them into society, we will realize that they are simply human, like any one of us.

She's the one who sits in the corner of the classroom, the one always alone, hiding in the shadows because she knows that her voice and her presence won't matter to anyone. That's what the other students at school tell her, calling her by so many different names that she's starting to believe that's who she is. There's no one there for her. Her parents are barely at home. She doesn't know how to deal with the emotions churning inside of her, crying herself to sleep every night, begging to know where she went wrong. But even so, she'd rather be the victim than anyone else, because she knows the pain and suffering, and would never wish the same for another. She just wished the bullies would just stop.

There was a man, once known as Ben the Cyclist. He cycles around his city to get to places, mostly to his friends' houses and to school. One day, while he was cycling on the pavement on his way to his friend's house, he met an accident. On the pavement he was cycling on, there was a sign already warning cyclists to look out for the dents that were in the floor of the pavement. Ben however, was happily listening to Justin Bieber's new album while he was cycling. He was too occupied enjoying Justin's music and he did not notice the sign. As such, his bicycle's front wheel got lodged inside the dent, causing him to be in a front wheelie position. His emotions seeped through his face to reveal a surprised looking Ben. He puts his hands out in front of him, but will he be able to break his fall? Find out in the next episode of Mythbusters.

Sure the world might seem all peaceful and we seem to have enough resources to sustain us for the next few decades, but is that really the case? People know about global warming, its effects and its harms, yet not many people bother much about this issue at hand. Littering, factories dumping chemicals into rivers, marine life dying off due to rubbish thrown into the sea and many more. Everyone knows what's going on but not many seem to actually care about the subject, are we unaware or do we just not care? When earth has reached it's limit, when we've finally ran out of those resources that we took for granted would we regret not taking any proper action before. By then we would probably be old already but what about the future generation, there is absolute no reason to make them solve nor suffer from our mistakes.

The mother smiled sadly as she held her newborn child in her arms, she would make sure to do her best for her child's future.

There has been discrimination against people who are part of the LGBT community and it has lead to their loss of rights and even unprecedented violence. This may cause them to be distressed of angered because they have been treated unfairly even though they are still human. I believe that this is a social problem that can be easily eradicated if everyone has been educated about the topic such that it is not so foreign to them.

Dogs are a man's best friend, but do they even consider humans as their friends? Dogs have become a property, they are chained and tugged at to go places, with no freedom and no choice. A thin piece of meat a day, even those who are not pet owners are aware of how outrageous the amount of food given is. Loyal creatures that deserve just as much respect as us, are getting none.

The domestic animals are being seen as a source of anger relief for people. People who are tired and frustrated from a day of work are in the need a place to vent out their frustrations. After coming home from a day of work filled with frustration, they see their pets at home who are unable to talk and voice out their opinions and started to see them as a source of anger relief. Hence, they started to abuse them despite their cries, doing all sorts of things to them such as discolouring their skin and breaking their tails.
