School Violence

School Violence is a big problem in school's today. It has been a problem since schools have been around, but has been getting much worse over the years. It has come to the point where kids who are bullied everyday, are afraid to come to school; they fear for their lives. It is no longer just teasing and name calling. Now it is down to the point of bully's actually threatening or physically hurting the bullied.
It is also no longer just in middle of high-school, but now elementary schools also. Some people say "Kids will be kids," but something has to be done. Teachers and parents should take certain precautions when they see kids being bullied, so that it doesn;t happen again. In some cases when children have been bullied since young ages it forces them to grow up more violent and in some cases more psychologically unbalanced than others. For example, the shooting in Virginia when a student walked through a machine gun and killed many students and professors. They say that when he was younger he was always the child who was tortured by bullys, and as a result he became unbalanced.

Shopping like it's going out of style

In my opinion, in today's world people shop like it's going oiut of style. As soon as someone gets a credit card, or debit card the shopping doesn't stop. They think well I have time to pay it off and I must have it let me just get it. Thats where the problem starts they just keep adding and adding, and when there bill come they can't believe they spent all that money.

The other thing I don't understand is why people have to have everything. I have friends who are very low on cash and have bills to pay...but as soon as the new ipod comes out or a new video game comes out that becomes more important to them. I also have other friends that as soon as they get paid run straight to the mall and buy five more shirts, then complain they have no money, or they have no clothes. They would never in a million years think to save up for a car, so they can back and forth to work and keep thier job. However, they would save $400 to het the new ipod of the newest video game system. I just don't understand how people can live like that.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

Have you noticed that's the way men obsess over there appearnces have changed over the last 15 years. Boys now spend more time in the mirror then girls do. They even become more obsessed with their weight. I do know that weight is not only an appearence factor, it's for health also. However, in the 80's or 90's boys didn't care about there appearences as much. They used to just look like they rolled out of bed, picked up whatever they had on the floor and walked out the door. Now it seems like boys have just as much pressure as girls do. It also seems like girls are putting some of the pressure on guys now to. There are alot of things girls now critique boys on from their hair down to their shoes. Also magazines, and celebrities are puttin the pressure on too.

WHY I WRITE

I write for many reasons. I write to communicate and keep in touch. I write
to keep myself busy. I write to prove myself. I write to express my feelings, when I
have no other way to do it. I write to let someone know my thoughts, when I cannot
tell them face to face. I write when I have no one else to turn to. I write to gather
my thoughts. I write when I cannot talk. I write hoping someone feels the same way.
I write when other people cannot hear me. I write to tell stories. I write to create
and imagine. I write to share my knowledge. I write because, I can. I write to make
me feel better. I write because it’s a way of life. I write hoping that one day what I
write will help someone else, and maybe change their way of life. I write for
romance and love. I write to get things off my mind. I write to bring people closer
together. I write so the next generation knows what happened in the past.
I write for many reasons, but I think the main reason I write is to remember.
I write to remember memories I would never want to forget. I write to remember
facts and studies. I write to remember personal information about friends and
family. I write to remember things I have to do. I write to remember music and
stories. I write to remember great people in my life. I write as a backup to my
memory.
