If You Really Knew Me-This may be the only show on MTV I can watch without becoming completely disgusted in humanity.
This show could not have come at a better time in my life. Here is a show that could actually better the teenage population if we really take it seriously. I remember picking my sister up one day after one of her volleyball practices. Her eyes were red and puffy and her cheeks were tear-stricken. I asked her what was wrong and she told me how her volleyball team had a "If you really knew me..." moment. She couldn't believe all the things she never knew about her own teammates and classmates that she had known for years. It opened her eyes, her teammates eyes, and her coaches eyes.
Could this be something every high school needs?
I think so. If kids would take this seriously, I really believe a program like this could change the lives of the students. Every kid in school has their own view of each person, but how many times is that view incorrect? My guess-A lot. In all fairness, how could we possibly know the truth? We have been raised in a "culture" that teaches the suppression of feelings; especially ones that make you cry. I know for a fact I absolutely hate talking about my feelings. But who's to say that things can't change? I think our school would become a better place if we have a "if you really knew me..." moment.
What do we have to lose?
