Video

Wed, 23 May 2012 12:47:26 -0400

i thought that the video was very sad. The stories on how and why the students committed suicide. It was horrible how the students didn’t show any signs that they were going to commit suicide. I like how some schools took a day to bring the students together. Overall, I liked the video, sad but it was moving.

Phobia of water

Wed, 23 May 2012 10:56:17 -0400

I would want my toes to go in to know it’s okay and it’s not going to hurt me. Then slowly work my way up. That’s what I’d want to do.

Addiction

Fri, 11 May 2012 11:08:19 -0400

I would have to say I’m addicted to my cell phone. I can’t go anywhere without it and when I do leave it behind I get really stressed out. When I don’t have my phone I feel empty and I wonder how I’m going to go through the day. I also use my cell in moments when i dont like a conversation. If someone is talking about something I don’t care I pull out my phone and look at something else.

I know when to use it and when not to so I don’t get in trouble for it.

Stress

Mon, 07 May 2012 14:09:32 -0400

The things that stress me out the most would be late assignments, people that bicker at me for unnesscary things, deadlines, and family.

I deal with stress by talking about it with people, mainly my boyfriend, he helps me a lot. Sometimes I talk to the people that are stressing me out. When my stress gets bad I listen to music to drown away everything in life and sit in my room. But when my stress overwhelms me I cry then I talk to people to make me better.

I dont always do the same thing. I do a little assessment to myself, I usually ask myself how much stress is this causing me, how do I feel about it, etc. Then I act on it within reason.

The way I deal with stress works for me.

A girls life

Mon, 07 May 2012 14:01:20 -0400

the only thing I can really say is that the movie was intense. I knew what girls went through but I never really saw it. I don’t remember it that much. But I feel bad for the girls that had to go through what they did.

Woman President

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:56:02 -0400

I would vote for a woman president. I would because I believe females are the stronger sex, we can handle more as far as pain; childbirth! We can handle more when it comes to conflicts, we don’t just attack, girls like to talk about it and try to find a solution but if it came to war then thats the end of it.
I’m guessing the men’s point if view of this would be no because they would feel demasculated, they wouldn’t want a woman above them. Another of their concerns would be, how would they handle the issues on their period? Well I know when I’m on my period and I have to work, I am a completely different person, i don’t put my personal problems into my work life. It’s not professional.
But I would vote for a female president. :)

Differences?

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:42:00 -0400

The stereotype of man; he should be strong, macho, hardworking, shouldn’t cry or have any feminine qualities that shows any sign of weakness, they get mad a lot more often than girls. That’s all I can think of on the top of my head.

The stereotype of a women; she should be nice, kind, want to clean, want to have kids, take care of kids, be soft, cry a lot , no strength, the weaker of the sex. That’s all I can think of.

In our society men shouldn’t have any of the same qualities as women, if the qualities make them weaker. If they do then they are looked at as if they are gay.

Someone like me?

Sat, 14 Apr 2012 14:16:57 -0400

I can’t really think of anyone who is like me, I’m completely unique. And nobody is anyone like me. I mean some people have the same traits; my mom is like me in the way of bubbliness, sense of humor and always looking for fun. My sister, Rissa, in the way she is quiet and says her peace when needed. My littlest sister, Allison, in the way I can be loud and obnoxious. My dad in the way of working hard, not taking no as an answer, my drive and ambitious nature. So if you combine all those together you have me.

The whole nine yards?

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:31:57 -0400

I would like to be married at some point, after high school or later. I know I want to get married but it has to be the right guy. How will I know if he is? Or if the marriage will work out? You don’t, nobody does and that’s the beauty of it. I don’t know I want children, I’m sure I will later in life but not now, I don’t know if I have that mommy gene, that every other girl has. I don’t think I have it but you never know it could change. I would like to get married like 22 or so. About 4 years from now or tomorrow, it doesn’t matter just as long as it feels right. Everything will happen in time.

Thirty?

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 14:28:14 -0400

When I’m 30, I plan on already being a psychologist for at least 4 years. I plan on being married with kids (maybe) I plan on being in a rural area, Portland Area. I just hope that my life will be in line and everything works out that I want. But nobody can predict where they’re going to be. Life always changes and so will I.

Aging drug

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:57:00 -0500

if there was an anti aging pill, I would not take it. I would be afraid of the consequences, yes I won’t age but what things could go wrong? There is no point in stopping or stalling mother nature, it’s going to happen one way or another. Nothing in the world is totally safe, there are always something that could go wrong… So I’ll just let aging take it’s course. With life theres death. With youth there’s aging. When something starts it has to end, that’s life. There is no sense in stalling.

Get smarter

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:53:48 -0500

I really don’t think that people are smart when they’re born, they get taught to be smart. They learn things. I don’t really know what else to say other than I dont think you are born with intelligence. Practice makes perfect.

Larry's strongest intellgence

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 12:27:15 -0500

His strongest intelligence would be spatial intelligence. He is very good at video games, he has all of the high scores and if he doesn’t then he tries his hardest to beat everyone.

Strongest vs weakest intelligence

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:47:04 -0500

My strongest intelligence would be music, all through my life I have loved music, all types except country. I hate it so much, anyway. When I hear a song, I feel it, I feel the beats, all of them. I can hear every instrument that’s being played, I can sing and have the right pitch and voice to sound like them. Music is my life.

My weakest intelligence would be interpersonal. I like friends, I like people but I dont go out of my way to talk to people, I’m perfectly happy by myself. It doesn’t bug me.

One rule

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:39:00 -0500

if I could choose one rule to get rid of in school would be to let cell phones be okay to use. If you give us the power to text in class, let us do it, would we? Its just the thrill of getting caught, being a rebel that people like. I’m so bad, I was texting in class. Focus on more serious issues, kids skipping class, drugs, alchol, not phones. If we wanted to learn then we would do it, kids are going to do it. But if they don’t then they won’t, no matter what anyone does. That’s life.

Remember everything?

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:35:16 -0500

If I could have the choice to remember everything, I would do it.

I wouldn’t want to remember the bad things that happened but people have to take the bad with the good. People could make arguments better if they remembered everything, but is that a good thing? Then you couldn’t use the excuse that you didn’t remember how many times did you get out of trouble by saying you forgot, not happening again if you get that memory booster.

Remembering everything would be beneficial for the most part, won’t get in trouble if you’re not too lazy to do what was asked. Writing papers would be easier, reading would be no problem too.

I would want to remember everything so I don’t make the same mistake twice.

Cellphones

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:29:13 -0500

Where would we be without cell phones?

I imagine staying home talking on the house phone, irritating parents for being on too long. Hanging with friends more to get the social interaction people need, which isn’t bad but if that’s what we did now, we wouldn’t have time for everything else.
Friends are just as distracting as cell phones, nobody is telling you to not have friends. Think about it if we didn’t have texting then we would be constantly on the phone not paying attention to homework, chores, family or anything else. It’s nice to take out phone send a text saying hey then having a conversation when you’re sweeping the floor, going to the bathroom. How embarrassing is it to talk on the phone and go potty? With texting there’s not a problem.

I love my cell phone and its not going to change.

Studying habits

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:22:11 -0500

When I study I need to have music on so I can listen to it, i usually drink some iced tea, text and eat some sunflower seeds.

I study in my room, quiet enough for me, no blaring music but soft music. When I need to study vocab words I have my sister, Rissa, help me, she doesn’t get irritated when I don’t know the word she repeated 3 times.

I study at night, that’s when I focus the best, it feels more calm to me but if I have to study during the day then I do.

Studying habits

Listening to music helps slot, I don’t know why.
Eating keeps me focused.
Drinking iced tea, just keeps my hydrated nothing special, I just like to have it.
Texting gives me the feeling of a mini break, so it relieves the stress and my mind off studying for a bit.
I think my study habits are good for me, I learn better.
I wish that schools will let texting happen, just texting people helps me with stressful situations, it’s ridiculous how many phones getting taken away, worry about the drugs not phones.

Mistake a friend made

Wed, 25 Jan 2012 11:14:22 -0500

One mistake that a friend made was that they over spent in their bank account.

First she got a letter saying that she didnt have that money in there.

Then she called the bank to ask them what they’re talking about.

The bank had told her that if the transaction went through then she would have to pay a $20 penalty fee or cancel the transaction for $30 or just pay the difference which is like $12. Personally I’d pay the difference to get it over with.

But if she had checked how much she had left in her account this wouldnt have happened but it’s life and stuff does happen.

So live and learn.

First vivid memory

Wed, 04 Jan 2012 11:44:38 -0500

My first vivid memory was two people got into a fight in front of me.

They were fighting because she forgot to return a movie and it’s going to cost them money until they return it. She was taking care of me, cleaning the house, making food and she just got caught up in doing other things, being busy. Next thing I know.

The guy rushes through the door just like he always does, commands her to take off his boots to clean and then polish them. Then he looks in her eyes, his are burning red, screaming at her demanding his meal, since he came home from work.

He sits down on the perfectly clean couch, he doesn’t trip on any toys. He looks over at the coffee table to reach for the remote and notices the movie hasn’t been returned yet.

He looks behind him and asks with an attitude “Did you forget to do anything today, Darling?

“I don’t think so, why, Hun?”

“Well there is something you forgot, just like you forget everything else, you’re a dirty *****, i don’t deserve to get treated like that at all. Im so tired of your ****. start doing stuff in this house or we are gonna have problems!”

“well I’ve been busy all day, taking care of her, making lunch and dinner and cleaning the entire house, I’m sorry.”

“sorry isn’t gonna fix anything.”

” I know, we can return it tomorrow.”

” that won’t fix it either *****!”

” wow, you get mad over stupid ****, get a grip and if it’s a big deal, you go return it.”

It gets silent. He’s trying not to get angry at her last comment. He gets up as fast he can, he runs towards her. Grabs the top of her head and screams, “do what I want, when I want, is that clear?”

”****you!”

He throws her on the floor so she is kneeling and looking at him. She starts to cry, he doesn’t like seeing her cry, it just makes things worse, he gets more angry. BAM!! He strikes her in the face. She tries harder to hold back the tears but they keep bursting out more with every strike of the palm of his hand.

He grabs the video cassette and shows it to her and asks, ” what were you supposed to do today?”

” return the movie.”
She covers her face with her hands, wishing this would just end. Either by him stopping or by him ending her life.

The whole time this was going on I was in the play pen next to the couch, I saw everything. I was about 1 1/2 Years old.

The girl was kneeling in front of me with blood flowing out of her forehead with the guy standing over her, beating her in the head with a rented video cassette she forgot to return.

When he was done with the beating, he sat on the couch as she was lying on the floor, trying to pull together. She gets up, with the most evil look on her face, goes to the sink, gets a washcloth soaks it with water and puts on her new wounds on her. The only thing he says is, ” I would like my food tonight, not tomorrow.”

She gets his plate together, hands it to him and he grabs he by the wrist and says, ” I’m sorry, you just make me so crazy sometimes, I love you. It won’t happen again.”

She tells him what he wants to hear.

I watched this whole incident, I didn’t cry, i just watched. Now I know what happened.
