I am so sorry, I know a lot of you are tired of hearing about this election. But, President-elect Trump has a government website where he asks you to share your views and your story, here is what I said:
I am a high school student. There has been so much hate in my school. No one respects anyone or will even listen to the other sides logic. And this doesn't just happen in high school. We learn it from our parents and our leaders. To make this country great we have to listen to each other. There is middle ground on every argument and we need to find it. We need to respect each others opinions with out discrimination and name calling. We are divided and a house divided will not stand. A lot of us are scared. We, the children of America, need to know that we need to respect each other, that all sides of the argument will be heard, and that we will stand, ALL of us together, will stand. And most importantly, I don't want to see anyone's rights taken away whether that be marriage or guns or religion. My america is built on mutual respect of each others beliefs and our freedoms with in reason and the freedom to share them with in reason. Riots and discrimination aren't with in reason. What I need from you President Trump, is for you to say we are all Americans regardless of race, gender, religion, or sexual orientation and that you will do your best to treat everyone with respect and compassion while you deal with things like working social issues. I'm not by any means trying to say change your stances to fit my opinions (America spoke and they liked your stances), I just want the hateful rhetoric used on BOTH SIDES of this election to end. We are all Americans. We are all people.

And now I feel a little bit better being able to tell him that even if he never sees it. I would recommend anyone to visit his website and share your story. This is his website: https://www.greatagain.gov/ If you scroll all the way to the bottom there is a tab that says share you're ideas.
I am proud to live in a country where we have the freedom to our opinions and our voices. PLEASE let yours be heard in a peaceful and respectful way.
I hope you have a great day,
Megan.
P.S. Protests are beautiful things and a great expression of our rights. Please just don't damage anyone or anything, that is when you're whole purpose is undermined.
P.P.S. If you have been subject to any hate crimes please report them. We can't fix a problem if it hasn't been presented.
