This I Believe–Colin

Posted by jefferson8 on March 4th, 2008

I believe everyone should have equal rights.  I think this because of height and weight discrimination.  I can barely go on a roller coaster because of my height. Some people don’t even get to be five feet tall. I am in the eighth grade at a height of four eleven and ninety two pounds. Really heavy or tall people experience this to they can’t fit.  They also have people looking at them for how different they from them. Same thing for waterslides you have to be a certain height and a certain weight. So height and weight discrimination is still in affect. You can help stop this from happening any more.
