I chose to do the “How Privileged Are You?” checklist. I went through the list and checked quite a lot of the items off. I’ve never really thought about myself as being privileged, but apparently, I am. My results are as follows: “70/100 Checked. You checked more than 89% of quiz takers.You're quite privileged. You've had a few struggles, but overall your life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But you should be aware of your advantages and work to help others who don't have them. Thank you for checking your privilege.” My results made me take a step back and think. I have had my struggles, but I guess overall my life has been pretty smooth. I’ve never really have had any problems with other people, and am generally accepted by others. I have been bullied as a teen in the seventh grade, and every summer for years now I do get offputting comments about the way I look. I would like to help others feel more comfortable with who they are and help them have some of the privileges that I think nothing of having.
