Their class teacher noticed this bad behaviour to the new classmate and was very upset.She talked long hours about inequalities in the world and asked the children be humans.
They have never done the same to their new classmate and became good friends.They realised she was a lovely girl and a wonderful friend.

Five-six years ago a boy from Africa came to our town.He was 10 years old and his name was Dada.He was our new classmate.My classmates behaved very badly to him, because he was black and his family was very poor.He was feeling very bad and he was very sad.He was sad but till the day he found a friend!Me!

Now we are best friends and we are always together!

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Sofia. This girl's family was very bad. And they didn't make Sofia read. They had many jobs. They had the house tidied up. She was cooking and washing the dishes. They let him rest for 5 minutes. She was responsible for his own house on weekdays. On weekends, she went to the city and wiped the windows of other people's cars in exchange for money. If she didn't bring money home, her family would beat her. It was a weekend again. Sofia went to the city. She was going to wipe the window of a car that she did not see the car behind her. The car hit Sofia. Then they took Sofia to the hospital. They called her mother and father. Sofia's mother and father fake wept, and the doctor said that Sofia was crippled. Her mother and father took Sofia home. When they come home, it's late for her mother Sofia, we come in right away. she shouted. Sofia barely got in. 

.

All I want is to go to school.

.

Her mother and father talked in the backyard, her mother said that this child is disabled now, what good will it do for us, her father said, yes, it will not be of any use to us, I think we should leave her in the dorm. The attendant in front of the door saw Sofia and took her to the principal's office and told the principal in Sofia that my parents left me. The principal was upset with Sofia and took her to the room where there were a few children and said this is your new friend, they made fun of Sofia after the principal left. They said, "What are you doing here, crippled cripple, sofia was upset, she lay down on an empty bed and slept, the next morning sofia had to go to school, principal sofia" He took her to the dormitory's school, knocked on the door, the teacher said enter, the principal said to the teacher, this is your new student, and the teacher who left the classroom said to the students this is your new friend. And the bell rang. The students said, "Welcome to the cripple," and Sofia is upset, now everyone is making fun of Sofia at the dormitory's school every day.

We all are equal, children!

Hello guys, I am Enda, we live in Africa. More precisely, we were living. We had to migrate to Turkey due to the sandstorm in our country. Now we are staying here with another relative who had to migrate here, and I go to a new school here with my cousin. At our school, they make fun of us, they make fun of us. My cousin is used to this situation now, she doesn't care, but I am very upset. By the way, my cousin's name is Tema. She's a girl. Some people think he is a man. I can get along so well with her because she's a girl, because I'm afraid of my male cousins. Even if my mothers say why you are afraid in the meantime, I say it is not something I have. 

.

I'm just one of thousands of immigrants.

.

Then Tema said what happened Enda and I told him sobbingly and he took it by my arm and took it to the principal's room and I told the principal what happened, then the principal first called the children, then their parents, then he apologized to me and they were suspended. .Anyway, let's go back to school, now we can get along well with the teachers, the principal and the vice principal. and they wrote on the board WHY CLASS DID ORGANIZED. I, of course, very embarrassed, I ran away from the classroom

Do not discriminate against anyone, whoever you are,My dear friends!

Heart. A child's heart.

A pure and uncorrupted heart.

Maybe those around the world,

they don’t tick the same, but their purpose is 

to live together.

Every heart is equally important.

But people have found something special.

Diversity of the heart.

Human skin shows diversity.

But why is that bad?

The differences are wonderful,

and man makes them evil.

The little human heart breathes.

All hearts breathe the same.

But why should some be better?

Why are some shown as better?

Differences are innate.

Differences are ingrained.

They are everyone's personality.

But we are all different.

We need each other.

To be equal.

    History has meant inequality among people, especially between men and women. Today, there is no longer such a big difference between the sexes because women have fought for their rights for many years. The changes are good because it emphasizes the value of each person regardless of gender, age, race, nationality, language, religious affiliation.

    During my life I learned to recognize the good, the bad, the true and the false. I am the winner of the Luka Ritz National Award because, since elementary school, I have been taught good behavior and quality relationships between people.

    I would like all people to be equal, not to starve, not to make a difference between people because of religion or appearance. I believe that we should respect all persons equally because we are all worthy of love and attention. But every person, deep down in their being, understands that all people are equal because we all end our lives in the same way, only some live better and others worse.                                                Dorotea Horvat,

    Inequalities. Even today, differences are made between people based on race or skin color. As much as there are differences between people in skin color, height, gender, and sexuality choices, all people are equal. All people are different in their appearance, but still, we are all human, we have feelings and a soul. Every man deserves respect, acceptance and love. 

    In some countries with a large number of races, discrimination is highly developed. In these environments, people of other races are worth less than people of white race. They are often belittled and exploited as cheap labor. I think we should all adapt to the times we live in.

    We encounter inequalities among people in everyday life, and I would describe the existence of inequalities among nurses. We will all have to respect every man in our work, help him in his illness, nurture and provide compulsory medical care. 

        All people are equal and they need help in any way at all times.

    She is wearing a suit, 

    he is wearing floral T-shirts. 

    What's the difference? 

    Why does there have to be a difference? 

    Is it such a great thing to be different?

    To love, to be, to hate, to disappear.

    To give up oneself is a sin, 

    To give up dreams is loneliness. 

    Why is it normal to fit in? 

    What is "normal"?

                                Ema Živković & Sara Butinović, 

                                Medical high school Osijek, Croatia

    All people are equal because we are all born and we all die, we are feeling and experiencing, we love. People should not be judged on the basis of personal choice of whom they will love. 

    Love is love, it breaks all boundaries, it does not hide and there are no prejudices. 

    Love always wins. 

                    Sara Moho, 

                    Medical high school Osijek, Croatia

    Every day in the world we encounter inequalities among people, especially between men and women, rich and poor. It is known that men in some jobs get a higher salary while women in the same jobs are paid less. Women often cannot progress at work because that is intended for men. We should be paid according to the impact of our work, not according to gender or race. Women are by nature mothers who raise our children, and at the same time they are employed to feed them. It is important to equalize wages in order to correct an injustice that has been going on for a long time. We must especially respect women because they are valuable and we should thank them.

    Also, there are differences among people according to the clothes they wear. Often people mistreat the poor who have no money and their clothes are worn out. Sometimes wealthy people feel as if they are better than others even though, at the end of the day, we are all the same, and that’s how we should behave. I hope that  one day   people will understand that that doesn’t matter at all and that we all need to respect each other.

    I noticed a great inequality between young people my age who are considered children by adults. I and my peers are 16 years old and mature enough just enough for many topics and situations happening in the homeland and the world. We need to accept all people according to personality regardless of age. 

    We should all live this life that has been given to us in a quality way. We have to accept each other because we are all in some way the same and worth equally. At the same time, we are very different, which is good because the differences complement each other.

We should always be aware of our personality, respect and love ourselves but also others as they are.
