I Believe with Tony Hawk when he says " I Believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large." I Believe in this too because at the end of the day, your doing what YOU want to do or what makes YOU happy. Who cares about what others think. I Always say, the only reason people are hating on you is because they wish they were you. basically, jealousy is taking over them.
The part of the excerpt where Tony Hawk talked about how his teachers use to embarrass him in front of his class because he never followed directions really was an example of how teachers are part of the reason why teenagers have low self esteem. Telling a student that they wont make it anywhere because they don't follow directions, or they don't listen are LIES.
The reason why i said that is because my brother use to fight almost everyday in middle school and high school, and teachers use to always tell him he wasn't gonna be nothing, BUT sadly for them my brother graduated high school, got accepted into Penn State, graduated, and is now in another school for culinary arts.
I personally think the people that bring you down are mad because they didn't get far in life. And the negative feedback only encourages you to work harder to be better than them.
