you might feel bad becasue not alot of people agree with you, but infact i do agree with you, building a wall would take way to much time and money. but there are alot of people thatcome over and take are jobs. there arnt alot of use high schooler's working at MC, Buger king , becasue people came over and took it over and they even took are construstion jobs, and i heard soon they are going to take are teaching jobs.and they bascilly own oc maryland so i am on the fence on this one i hope it helped out.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, regardless of what others think. It was a debate, so opposing views are going to be expressed. In circumstances like this you should not feel bad about voicing your opinions, as it takes place in an open forum.
If you are sensitive to the opinions of others, particularly your peers, and if they do not agree with you, it is quite possible for you feel bad about stating your case and maybe offending them. We all like to feel that we belong, and if our behaviours, habits or thoughts are different from the crowd, it takes confidence to uphold them.
Be proud that you could do this and back up your opinion, it takes a strong character to do this.
Hope that helps and good luck.

You feel bad because your opinions are strong and you don't realize the impact they may have...

I have had this same problem in the past. If you are debating for a class or club, then debate all you want. You are doing what you're meant to do. Outside of that, however, it may be best to be less outspoken... Words are very powerful.
