Awards a Scam??


Question Posted Wednesday May 2 2012, 7:04 pm

I'm very happy I'm being honored for my charity work at school. Honestly i do care about the charity than the award. There are others getting awards themselves but little actually deserve them. One girl joined EVERYTHING just to et in yearbook, the newspaper, and to get this award. 2 other girls who claim they're bullied to teachers are getting awards for being kind when in reality the 2 girls bully EVERYONE!!! One of them has an autistic brother who she picks on (punching, kicking, etc.) at school. I feel this is a problem and want to address teachers about it but I don't know if I should.

If you bring to your teachers attention that the other students don't deserve the award, there could be some trouble. As long as you yourself is doing it for the right reason, there is no problem. In the long run you will be making out better. They will look back and regret how they set their motives. You on the other hand will not. I suggest leaving it be.

As long as you deserve your award and cherish it and the fact people cared to honor you that's all that matters.

The rest is none of your concern and would make you look foolish for trying to tell teachers or indicate to anyone that your peers don't deserve it. If you did anything to show your contempt towards the others it would make you look like the one who shouldn't have been honored and spoiled whereas you aren't.

It is solely up to the teachers giving the awards out to determine who gets them and why. They have to discover for themselves who deserves them. There may be a favorite thing going on with a student or a whole other factor you aren't aware of for criteria. Bottom line collect your award and keep your mouth shut.

Are the awards a scam? Well, no. These teachers certainly don't feel that way. Are they honoring people they shouldn't? Possibly but it's not your place to make that judgment. In the end it's up to the girls to atone for what wrong they may have done either now or later.

Usually, you won't be around be it now or years later to see it but their behavior and everyone's for that matter gets adjusted by life experience sooner or later. Don't let a couple of brats spoil a positive experience for you. You respect that award and showing that you do speaks more than any ill word about those who don't.
