With my town being so small, there aren't a lot of wealthy people, and there's not a lot of high paying jobs. Many kids that attend my school have families who can't afford nice clothes. Other wealthier kids look down on them for that. This is when people suffer from diversity. Even though this might be one of the minor ends of diversity, it's the one that upsets me the most.
Some people use diversity as a defense mechanism.
They try to make themselves believe that if they dye their hair blue, or wear outrageous clothes, then nobody will want to get to know the real them. They're scared that if people know who they really are and what they stand for, then they'll take that chance of not being liked. A lot of diversity is external and obvious, while another type is internal. Many of people's diverse characteristics are not seen but only understood by talking and getting to know the person. People's lives are formed by all the events they've gone through from the day they were born.
