Appearance can be deceiving
Sometimes, the physical appearance of people are the first things that can be seen. However, when you meet somebody you should not judge them by his or her looks, because at times appearance can be deceiving. I have come to learn that people beauty can be only a mask for covering their real faces and their real characters. It all started when I met this handsome, nice and intelligent -looking boy on august 23, 2010. His name is kelvin. He is from a family of five. We had a great time. .He was my next door neighbor brother. He called regularly. He was nice and kind. We went to the movies together with some of his friends. We when at the mall together and we went at parties together. We were dating for 3 years, and he was very passionate and affectionate.
After sometimes, he began to show his true colors by cheating and abusing me in public places. Drinking and smoking also became his new habits. On June 23, 2013, I went to his house. To my surprise I saw him and my best friend in bed. When I confronted him about it, he started insulting and he threw me out of the house. He didn’t come to my house to apologies for what he did but rather continue his relationship with other girls and keep on deceiving them with his good look and his first impression. We broke up on July 26, 2013.
He made me to see the truth in the saying that ‘not all that glitters is gold’. He made me to see that physical beauty does not always represent one’s level of morality and values. I also learned from the experience with him that “the eyes lied’ - that is, we should not judge an individual appearance to predetermine our relationship with them.
We sometimes tend to shut some people out of our lives, if his or her physical appearance is not to our liking. Appearance can be deceiving; so we should never trust our first impression, nor should we use our mind to determine the beauty of a

    We finally moved to North Carolina and I was devastated. I felt like I had to leave behind all of the friends I had just started formulating deeper bonds with. I felt like I had to start over from scratch with making friends and I missed Khalif; and finding out that he contacted me the night before we moved and I missed his call, didn't make things any easier. I never told him I was moving when I found out. I figured since we wasn’t together anymore, why bother. He found out my last day of school because my best friend and I were crying, and another student went back and told him. He approached me before the day was over, and wanted to know why I didn’t tell him I was moving. After we talked, he gave me a hug. I didn’t expect him to try to contact me that night. I didn’t find out he had called until my family and I were well in NC and I checked the caller ID box.…

    Appearance is everything, the way someone looks, talks, and acts all make up who they are as a person. When someone does something the way they are seen often affects the outcome and consequences of their actions. This is seen very often in both Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. The main characters in both of these novels do awful things but their physical appearance, mindset, and whether they are a good or a bad person affects the way they are treated. The way society sees a person's overall appearance too often changes the way their actions are seen and dealt with and how they are treated as well.…

    The way our society has a way to view other people by their appearance will probably never change. In some way everyone has it set in their mind what makes a person perfect. These things about people include personal appearance, money and intelligence. We do not always get the chance to get to know a person, but we always make assumptions about people. Two poems, which show different view of someone, include Richard Cory and Barbie Doll.…

    At first, it may seem shallow to care a whole lot about one’s appearance, but according to Daniel Akst’s essay “What Meets the Eye”, we learn that in many ways, appearances actually serve as a source of inequality. In his expository piece, Akst probes into the importance of appearances in our society today; he explores the role that beauty plays in everyday life and and how it influences society. Akst makes numerous interesting discoveries on the role of appearances in society, but several of his arguments don’t seem to be well-argued.…

    Juveniles are treated differently than adults for the same offences. There are differences in punishments because of sensitivity to the teen. “Juvenile” is considered a felon 18 years of age and younger. A felony crime is more serious than a misdemeanor. Teen acts of felony are handled differently than adults. But teens usually get fined or do jail time and probation conviction penalties.If they are willing to break the law, I believe they should be tried as an adult.…

    On the fourth day-night (after the first time I asked him) he texted me on phone and he told me do you want to know where I disappeared? “Yes, of course,” I said curiously.

I felt angry and I told him without thinking we didn't you tell I could have helped you don't you know that my family is very rich (billionaires). My family is much richer than yours.

    The physical attractiveness of a person influences every individual throughout every community, across the United States and around the world. All people inherit and alter their physical attractiveness, which is determined by complex, interdependent, physical, and non-physical factors. Hidden and not-hidden values drive thoughts and actions with significant effects and realities whereby higher physical attractiveness is beneficial, lower physical attractiveness is detrimental and associated pursuits are relentless. Physical attractiveness may look skin-deep as a surface aspect of appearance, but looks can be deceiving. Researchers throughout the world collect empirical data complemented with anecdotal data to probe beyond the surfaces. Through investigations that meet meticulous scientific methodological procedures, acute observations reveal previously undetected dimensions that advance understanding about physical attractiveness (Patzer, 2006).…

    The beginning of this unofficial relationship never started out on the right track. The biggest red flag appeared the moment I committed myself to him. All a secret, hidden from the eyes and ears of those around us. Never once was it questioned, I believed I loved him. Dates were not an option, as well as hugs and holding hands. Rare, the day I got…

    He will forever be the reason I do not understand people. They say the first few months of relationships are the "honeymoon phase", everything is great. They try to become the person they wish they were. And when that phase is over they show their true colors, but I swear to this day what we had was real. I say this a year and many months later, many relationships later. If he told me right now to drop everything and be with him this very second, I'd be the victim yet again of this tragedy people call love.…

    First impressions are important when meeting someone new. The first impression is determined upon the outward appearance of an individual most of the time. Many people, though, reserve their judgment of a first impression until after they have had time to talk to that person. These people, like me, understand the importance inner beauty plays in getting to know…

    We all have judged a book by its cover, thinking that it wouldn't be worth to open and read just because the cover doesn't look so cool and popular like other books that we know today. However, as soon as you read it, you find out that you were wrong and that the book is nice and interesting, probably the best book you have ever read! See? This is the problem that we face nowadays. Most of the time, people judge when they don't know the whole story, we judge someone because they look different and don’t have the same appearance as you. They might look scary, lonely and shy. But who knows, what if they are really nice and polite. A person shouldn’t be about his appearance or looks or if he is pleasing. It is what is on the inside that really matters.…

    Is It Just a Crush?

    It was the summer of ‘09 in July; I met this person almost two summers ago. It was during those times where I wasn’t looking and just wanted to have fun that night. It was night out with the girls and I haven’t had one of those in awhile. It wasn’t too hot out so I wore a pair of red shorts, tank top, and some sexy stilettos. I wanted to stand out from the crowd so if anybody was watching me they would know what to look for if I disappeared. I danced and drank their famous icee drinks. There was good music and the place was packed. I was having so much I never even noticed this tall chocolate guy watching me. He had a nice lean muscular body that I noticed right off the back, the guy he was with actually knew my cousin with that night. We introduced ourselves and kind of flirted. I was interested and wanted to know more about this person but only as friends. We enjoyed the rest of the night dancing on the dance floor but it didn’t last very long. A very drunk and disrespectful female involved herself in the equation and things kind of turned ugly. I didn’t know if she was his girlfriend or an ex. I wasn’t in the mood to make things worse for HER so I distanced myself from him and the situation. All the girls decided to leave and continue the party outside. The streets were packed with lots of cars and people that we didn’t need that place. Cars were blasting music since the streets…
