I do not understand

In every school, no matter how great or seemingly "terrible," has white collar crimes. When I first heard this term, I have no idea what it meant and felt ignorant for asking my sister about, which in turn, of course, she knows about it. White collar crime, as defined by me, is when a person screws other people in order to be ahead, usually in an unfair way. You might probably think "I do not understand," "Life is unfair, get over it, kid," or "I know what you are talking about."

An example of white collar crime (in the most innocent way possible) is when a kid asks another kid to test out a bridge to see if it would break. The kid asking knows that the bridge will break, so the other kid ends up falling, while the original kid remains safe and continues on. I think that is a white collar crime, but I can be wrong. I think that is what it is.

Why do I bring this up? I have no idea. It came to my mind when I was finishing up my kaleidoscope picture, and I wonder why people do it. In my opinion, it takes more work to cheat, rather than learning and do the test on our own. I sound mean, but that is what I think. There is a group of students in my grade who are so competitive and obnoxious with school, and even though they consider themselves friends with one another, one of the insiders of the group told me that they do not even like each other and pretend to be each others' friends. I feel pity for them, not only do they have to put up with the thought of the other person being better, but also, they do not like each other. I feel lucky to have a group of people who surround me and support me and actually genuinely like me.

I want you to have great friends and a circle of people you can be proud to call your friends. A good friend can have fights with you because it is usually done out of good, never trying to bring you down. Trust me, no one should have to have fake friends.

Now, with fairness. People say that life is unfair and that is the way it has always been. Even though I know and accept the fact that life is unfair, why does have to be like that? We can make life fair if we wanted to. So, what is holding us back?
