Don'T Judge a Book By Its Cover

Many people think that every mentally ill person is dangerous but that's not true.
If you were mentally ill, you wouldn't want people to think that about you.
Don't judge a book by its cover, it's not fair to the mentally ill.
Just because a person has schizophrenia or bipolar disease, it doesn't mean 
that he or she will kill.
The next time you meet a mentally ill person, please don't be scared.
Treat us like you would treat anyone else, it's not right to judge the mentally 
impaired.
