Breaking Up

Breaking up is a hard thing for many people. For some, their hearts get shattered. It happens. For some people it is hard for them to get over the fact that all the good things that were in their life are now gone, but for others it is a start of a new life, and to start over again. So, why is it that so many people put so much into a relationship when they get into one. They never know if it will last until that diamond ring is on their finger, and yet sometimes after they have the ring, their relationship doesn't last. People put to much faith into a relationship, thinking that it will last forever, and they put their whole life into it. Why, though? Why waste your time putting in so much effort in when it may not even last, and you'll have to start over again. It seems if many people want to get their heart broken, because they put everything into their whole relationships. I don't understand how people put in everything when their only going to get a broken heart in return. It seems pointless. I think people need to stop thinking it will last forever until they know it will last. They need to stop putting their selves in the spot of getting hurt, and realize how important relationships really are.

Halloween

Halloween is always considered one of those nights to have fun. It is when the little ones go around and say trick or treat, and get candy. It is when they get to dress up in bazaar costumes. I always remember going out on Halloween, it was always a very fun night, but once you get a certain age you don't care anymore and you think it is lame for a couple of years. Then when you get a little older you like to have fun and do stuff like that again, because you miss your childhood. When you get older and you look for costumes they all are revealing and were made out of a man's perspective. They are all made for that perfectly shaped woman, not for a bigger girl. I think it's sad that that's all that men think about. A long time ago people would celebrate Halloween by doing rituals and make sacrifices for their loved ones that were dead. This was unsafe, because they brought in evil spirits that could lead to possession. I think to say that this is scary. Who would want to be possessed? I find it really scary that back then people would put razor blades in apples to try and hurt the little kids trick or treating. Parents really had to be cautious and make sure there wasn't anything dangerous in their kid's candy.

Nice Girls

For guys, a nice girl isn't what he is usually looking for. Yeah he wants someone that is nice to him, but usually all he wants is sex. A nice girl is someone that is nice, smart, treats people with respect, and knows her morals and values in what she wants from in life. She won't want what a bad guy wants. She'll want that perfect nice guy, which are quite often hard to find, because a lot of guys are jerks and want one thing from a girl. It's the thing that is constantly on his mind. No its not cars or food, which they talk about all the time, but it's sex. Sex is always constantly on their minds. Nice girls usually don't want that. They want to wait until they find that perfect, nice man that they will someday marry. For nice girls their life seems as if it has to be a fairy tale. It has to be perfect. Not everything will be perfect, because not everyone is perfect. We all make mistakes in our lives. The "Girl Paradox" doesn't seem real to me, because a nice girl can be smart, pretty, annoying, not pretty, can be an idiot, and can date jerks. I think this is just what people think. It's how the movies show how different girls look and act. I don't think this is true, because there are so many nice girls that have a lot of these different characteristics, and there are also smart and good looking girls that have a lot of these characteristics too. I don't believe people should categorize girls, because they don't know the girl from the inside. "Beauty isn't what's on the outside, it's what's on the inside that counts."

Bad Guys

Bad guys are mean. All they want from girls is one thing, which is sex. I hate that this all that guys want from a girl. Just to get in her pants, tell the guys, and be all macho about it. I hate when guys are like this. Too bad not every guy could be like Landon Carter in A Walk to Remember. He is a sweet guy who knows how to treat a girl. Yeah, all boys think about is sex, but sometimes its the girls that are the ones that get these bad boys way out of control. Just by what a girl wears can make some of those "good guys" go bad. It is really sad with what guys want from girls. I wish everything could be perfect, like a fairy tale, but for some reason I know that will never happen. If every guy was a sweet guy and treated girls right I believe it would be a wonderful world, but the world isn't that way. You can wish for something, and maybe it will come true, but with this wish it is more than likely it won't come true. I really wish we could change the way we act, especially some of the teenagers and adults that think it is okay. I don't think this behavior is okay, it's sick, gross, and wrong on too many levels. Some girls think they can change their guy, but they can't, and they will soon realize this. Guys can't be changed, they have to be the change they make themselves. They have to change themselves on their own, it is the only way they could possibly change. Whenever you think oh he won't want that from me, don't be so positive about it. Always assume that they may just want to get in your pants! Never doubt it, because in a man's mind all they think about is, "Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. I think I'm hungry. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. I forgot my book. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Cool car! Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex."

Education

Education is very important for childern and teens to be involved in. It helps them get ready for college and pick their career that they plan to go on to do. If kids don't get education they won't have a future. They need education so that they can have a great future. Many kids that don't go to school often don't have a good job. They are the ones that are stuck taking money in Walmart. They will never have a good job, because they don't have the diploma and they don't have the proper education that is needed. I think many that don't get education realize how hard life is without a proper job, but some people may want that job in Walmart, because they like doing stuff like that. I feel bad for the people that haven't had education or they drop out, because they don't know what they're missing out on. Education is really important and I believe everyone needs to have education, because not only will they get a good job, but they won't regret it. They will have a better life knowing they did the best that they could. I think everyone has the chance to get a good job, just look at Mr. Cohen who worked really hard, because he knew he could do it and he knew he was going to be a teacher. I admire him and all others that get past their disease and work hard to not let the disease when and make you lose what you want out of life. I think it is amazing what people can do when they know they want it. You can do anything you set your mind out to do. You just have to believe in yourself and know that you can do it, because you can, you just have to believe it. Life may be hard, but you can do anything you set your mind to.

Violence

Violence is a major issue between many people, and it needs to stop. When I think violence occurs i usually think of abuse between a relationship. Many couples deal with the stress of violence. It is very saddening and it makes me want to hurt the person who hurt their girlfriend or boyfriend. Many times violence occurs when under the influence of alcohol and drugs. It is very sad what alcohol and drugs can do someone to make them do such horrid things. Sometimes violence doesnt occur with alcohol and drugs, it's just how the person is. Sometimes they like the feeling of hurting someone. I don't understand how anyone could like hurting someone, because it's just so abnormal. I can't stand when I hurt someone, it kills me inside. I can't live with the feeling that I hurt someone. I wish there wasn't violence, because our world would be such a better place to live in. If people only knew what it does to the person they hurt, maybe they would change, but no, they don't because they like the feeling of it. Many other words such as abuse, sexual abuse, killing, kidnapping, guns, bullying, beating, rape, and many other words mentioned in the picture above are the kinds of violence that occur. There are so many things that people do, and it hurts. It hurts me knowing that there are others out there that this is happening to them, and their hurting. It kills me that I can't do anything to help. If only our world was peaceful, and there was no violence. I think we would be better off without violence. Violence doesn't help, it's not the solution; it's the problem!

Conflict Resolution

Solving problems can sometimes be hard, but it is good to solve them. It takes a lot off your mind and it allows you to think clearly. Some parents argue a lot and I think it is really hard on the kids, especially the littler ones. I hate it when your trying to solve a problem with someone and they ignore you and try to forget that you even had a problem to begin with. I have recently had this happen to me. It makes me really upset that they won't even respond to me, so that we can fix our problem. Sometimes solving problems makes me sad, because I've put all I could out there and then the other person puts no effort what-so-ever in. It crushes my heart and leaves me going to bed with tears. It's so hard on me and I think it stresses me out even worse. Sometimes it leaves me with blank words, kind of like a blank stare, you can't hear or see anything. What do you say to someone that won't try to solve the problem? It seems that I've said almost everything I could think of. When they do this it makes me want to give up more and more. I mean should I wait for, however long it takes them to figure out they need to talk about our problem, or do I just give up and move on. Moving on seems like the simplest choice to choose, but solving problems can always seem to be a pain in your behind.
