We Need to Remember...........

We need to remember those childrens and adults that was involved in the shooting in Connecticut. Their family jus had to go through Christmas without thier babygirl or the handsome littleman. Or maybe they had to go through a Christmas without their other half or spouse. These families jus went through a tragic thing that took place in their home town and now is havin to face quite enough durin the holidays. We need to unite as a country and keep these 26 families in our prayers throughout the next year. 20 kids dont get to see their friends throughout the rest of the year....20 kids dont get to see themselves a graduation from high school or college..........20 kids dont get to see that one man or that one beautiful girl that was made for them and walk down the aisles or wait for her and get marry......20 kids dont get to see their first child after giving birth........20 children wont get to grow old with thier loved one.......20 children went to heaven and got away from the bad things of this world. REST IN PEACE CHILDREN FROM SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY IN CONNECTICUT.

My Favorite Song

You know I'd fall apart without you
I don't know how you do what you do
'Cause everything that don't make sense about me
Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl I need you
But it's more than one and one makes two
Put aside the math and the logic of it
You gotta know you want it too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty and
You get that all the time, I know you do
But your beauty's deeper than the makeup
And I wanna show you what I see tonight

When I wrap you up

When I kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever
Never let you forget it
'Cause baby I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel
I wanna make you feel better
Better than your fairy tales
Better than your best dreams
You're more than everything I need

You're all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up
Wanna kiss your lips
I wanna make you feel wanted
And I wanna call you mine
Wanna hold your hand forever

Never let you forget it
Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted
Yeah, baby I wanna make you feel wanted
'Cause you'll always be wanted

Protection in Our Schools........

         
        Many people these days wonder why there are more people being killed while they are at there jobs or at school. Should peple be able to have concealed weapons while they are on their work places or at school.
        Having a concealed weapon can sometimes prevent some of these tragedies that happen to innocent people. It can be good but it can also be bad. I think it could be a really good thing in society today.
        The good things in this would be that young people would feel safe and it would wipe away the fear out of the children that are at school and the young people that are on their job sites. I was told by one of my teachers that in the late 1960’s that a little kid had gone into the school that he went to and shot another one but while that was going on instead of just sitting by another teacher went and got his concealed gun from his car and came back in and pointed the gun at the kid who was shooting. I know he shouldn’t have done that but at least it made the kid stop and think. People think that it’s a bad thing for staff members to have concealed weapons but in this case it was good because the teacher was able to put a stop to the shooting.
        We all have seen the news this past weekend with the shooting that happened in Connecticut. It was a sad situation with 20 students that was majority of kindigartens and 6 staff members that tried to protect the little elementary students at that school. The gunman had also shot his own mother early that morning. People ask why this man had done some horrible things to this school. But his reasoning was cause he believed that his mother loved those children much more than she had loved him.
        Having a concealed weapon on school property is really not a bad idea. We need more protection in our school districts now.

Why Does Bullying Have An Affect in Schools Today

Bullying Should Be Stopped!!

            Did you know one out of three children everyday gets bullied at school (“Bullying” The New Book)? According of the Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia, bullying is an aggressive action toward anybody at any age mainly between twelve and eighteen. There are several reasons why a person is bullied such as race, weight, sexual orientation, ethnicity, physical disabilities, and even by the wealth of a person (Grolier Multimedia Encyclopedia). Joseph Gambardello says that seventy-five percent of students drop out of school because of the bulling that’s been taking place. Bullying can happen in many ways like harassment, sexual harassment, name-calling, physical contact, computers, or even through a text message that somebody has sent (Joseph Gambardello).
            By ages of 15 to 17, four out of five students has a cell phone to where the bullying can travel along by a text. This age group is hit the hardest because teens already go through as it is when they are young. In addition, these teens are more likely to know who is victimizing them and are most likely to not speak out of fear of having their technology taking away ("Ages of Kids Involved in Cyber Bullying.") Kids from all ages from 6 to 17 are the target of being bullied either by another kid or by an electronic device. Not only are the children involved in bullying, but the parents are to. If a child goes to a parent or legal guardian how do you think they would react? It all depends on the family itself and how they handle situations like this.  
              According to “We can all end bullying” a teenager had shared her story. She was bullied ever since she was in the 7th grade and every time she got away from it, it would somehow come back and haunt her. Since the taunting of the bullying never stopped she decided to tell her story on a YouTube video. Days later she had killed herself. This article had shown how people are affected by the death of someone who was bullied and how they are going to take a stand. Victoria Ptashnick tells her story about how she was close to a friend who was being bullied everyday on the school bus. Now that she had made the mistake of not sticking up for her friend who she use to hang out with growing up and how they use to get in trouble a lot every day, she wants us to take a stand and if we see someone getting bullied then we should find a way where we can help them out and make life better for them (Victoria Ptashnick). Another story of bullying has actually taken a toll on the different side of the chart. This story was about a young girl who is now being charged with 20 counts of alleged assaults according to Julius Whigham. She had carried a diabetic meter that tells somebody their blood sugar and stabbed 20 other students with the meter (Julius Whigham). Not only are the victims involved but sometimes they find out who is bullying and they will do something like they did with this girl. According to Scott Stump there was a never ending story of a teenager. Another story of a teenager losing their life from being bullied, but the bullied never ended even with the teenagers death. The boy had a friend that was taunted and bullied after he had died from being bullied. She had gone to a homecoming dance a year later and the DJ that played her friends favorite song by Lady Gaga. Everybody started chanting her long gone friend but suddenly the bullies had started chanting “Your better off dead” or “We’re glad you’re dead” and hateful things like that. When she got home she was really upset. She was only supposed to go so she can grieve and also have a good time but that apparently never happened (Scott Stump).
            Not only does bullying happen in the school with other kids it also happen with the home you may live in. There was a person by the name of Sneakyfox that she was bullied in her own home that she lived in. She was nagged and humiliated about her hair and finally she had agreed to cut it just so they would leave her alone. She was only 12 years old when her family started to bully her. Her sister would mock her and call her very ugly names and sometimes even threw objects at here. She was very well talked bad about at home and very scared of going home (Sneakyfox). Not only do normal people like us get bullied but celebrities also had to go through the same things in high school and sometimes in middle school. A few of the short stories of how they experienced the hateful actions are very mean and we look up to the ones that didn’t let them affect their future. Jessica Alba was one of the few who were bullied in high school. It was so bad her dad walked her into the building just so his baby girl wouldn’t get attacked by those mean girls. She also had to eat her lunch in the nurse’s office so she wouldn’t have to sit by those mean girls according to Jessica. Another story about a celebrity would be Taylor Lautner who was bullied in his childhood. He was bullied in middle school only because he started in his career of being an actor. Even though he might have been in so much humiliation, he never stopped doing what he loved and it didn’t affect him on his career now.
            If you want less bullying to take place in your area then maybe we should have some solutions to help us spread ways of preventing it. Some solutions are that your school should have an assembly that takes place to show the affects of bullying and what could happen. Some other ways could also be having a rule in the school where there is no bullying tolerated in that area. Talk to your child about school and see if they get agitated or try to change the subject. Let them know that you are there to help them. If your child tells you that they are being bullied at school, listen to them and let them explore ways they would like to handle the situation. Other ways for you to share prevention of bullying is to encourage your child to talk to a teacher and principle about the bullying and specifically the bullies who are bullying them. If nothing is done after that, then it’s time for you to take action and be the parent. Do not treat bullying as a natural part of growing up or believe that it will all work itself out eventually. Bullying is a serious situation and has caused some children to commit suicide. Stays actively involved with your child’s school and constantly talk to your child. We need to take a stand and don’t be afraid to talk to people when there is something going on that shouldn’t. There’s enough deaths from bullying and that NEEDS TO STOP!!!

How Poems and Short Stories Can Be Expressed

          Some people want to argue that writing can be bad for students and teenagers. What do all of yall think? I think its most defiantly not bad. It actually is a good thing.
         Writng poems and fantasy short stories help me epress my feelings in my own way and personal moods. Writing poems and short stories help me get through the day with my own imagination. I get to say whatever i want and make the characters do whatever i want. I get them to do anything like sword fighting, bullying, or sometimes I even might write about love and how love should be experssed. They can hate on friends and then make up in the next few paragraphs. I get put in the power of having the characters and my poems say whatever I want to.
           Writing means the world to me. If i didnt know how to write i wouldnt know what else thats better to do when im mad or angry at somebody or something. Writing is a stress reliever to not only to you but maybe to others as well. Sometimes people use it to explain how they lived during high school or maybe even a memory that they had with somebody that is long gone. I use it to put my feelings, stress, and imagination down on paper to make either a poem or a short story that would be kinda about them.
           Poems that I write are when I express my feelings. When im mad i write a hateful poem. When im happy or sometimes feel like how can i get anymore when i have all that i deserve, i write a poem that is happy and uplifting.Sometimes i may feel like i need to write about love and how it can be expressed. Love can be expressed so many different ways but only you can express it the way you want it to be.
          Poems are used everyday, they can be good and they can be bad. They are mostley used as a good thing. I use my writing as a good thing to make my feelings go away.When im angry about somebody I write about it and then rip it apart and then throw it away. See its gone and i wont have to worry about anyone reading it. sometimes i write about good things when im just sitting around the house or classroom and then most of the time im just writing something down whether it means something or not. Writing is a influence on peoples lives today. Maybe you should try it sometime and see how it does when your mad at somebody.

The Unthinkables

How do you expect to think when your mind turns against you?
Theres no real good answer to this but only by the heart but that sometimes fools you to.
So now your only way is to ask God to help you through.
Cause we all know that with him we can go through a mighty storm and be cool.
