New Show

While home for lunch, i turned on mtv and there was a show on called 'If You Really Knew Me'.....they break a high school up into several groups and have what they call a Challenge Day.

Challenge Days require a lot from the students including admissions about their own lives. Its amazing what these kids are going through. But the point of the show is to expand the kids knowledge of other kids in the school that they may have judged based on religion, race, money....anything!!

Its amazing!! Seriously, i was almost in tears!!! I feel like this should be part of regular curriculum in schools.

Unfortunately, I'm sure that the lessons learned donnt stick with a lot of the kids past a week but even just the fact that they went through that and that people are trying to reach out to them is amazing!!!

Thats all, i just felt like i needed to throw that out there. Hahaha, sorry its so long and probably makes no sense hahaha.

I've been meaning to watch that...it looked cute. Makes you wonder what was going on in the lives of all those 'perfect' kids in your own high school.

Every year I used to go ont his leadership retreat in high school on Shelter Island... and these are the kinds of things we talked about and the kinds of bonds we made. It was like a teen utopia and it ****** (!!) to leave at the end of the weekend because we knew real life was never going to be that way as much as we tried.
