Paragraph:

I wanted to express a frustration in a way about how some people are inconsiderate towards other people. I had an incident recently where someone was being offensive, unintentionally, because they didn't know what they were talking about. It's a real frustration of mine when people don't stop to consider what other people have going on in their own worlds. The normally happy, and laughing teen seen with his group of friends might not be so joyful in his own "hidden world" where he needs to face the death or dieing of a loved one, family issues, or relationship issues. The overall goal of this piece is to make the viewer more considerate about whom they are addressing, and whether making a "your mom" joke would necessarily be appropriate.
