Violence in OUR Communities: A Commentary

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:34:56 +0000

VIOLENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES: A COMMENTARY

On Friday, February 10th we had another school shooting. It happened during lunch hour in a cafeteria filled with elementary children happily eating lunch. All we can ask is why? The school is about 20 minutes from my doorstep and diagonally southeast as the crow flies. I know several of the teachers and students that work and attend this school. We share sports programs and the arts. It is a good school. Who would have thought such a tragedy would strike here and with a child so young carrying a gun and somehow getting it past the eyes of a watchful and caring staff. It is heartbreaking.

We don’t think of these things happening is small, rural communities like the one I live in or those children live in but it even happens here. Why?

When I was growing up we only occasionally heard of a murder, maybe a few more robberies and off and on a case of domestic violence but it was rare, very rare, especially in rural communities and we never heard of such violence and tragedy in our schools. What has gone wrong?

Where are all this hate, fear, bullying, desperation, violence, vengeance and moral decay coming from? Is there anything we can do to stop it? God help us. I sure don’t have the answer. I wish I did.

Maybe it is the broken families, lack of stability in the homes. Both parents work, they have to. They have no choice. Maybe it is because there is only one parent to start with and you just can’t be mother and father and bread winner all in the same breath. Parents are pushed beyond their limits and children end up ignored and without the discipline and moral upbringing they need. We may love our children but we are too busy trying to survive to let them know just how deeply they are loved. There is very little if any family unity anymore.

The TV becomes the nanny, the babysitter and it doesn’t teach very high morals. The same goes for the video games and internet games we and our children play and the media plays their part in the nightly news and the daily paper too as they lean toward scandals, violence and all manner of sensationalism with next to no reporting of the good that happens in the community, State, Nation or the world. We are being fed a very heavy diet of negative with little to no positive. Children learn what they live.

Schools push for the competitive edge, win no matter what it takes when it comes to sports or any other competition and academically every child still passes to the next grade and still gets some sort of award even if they haven’t truly learned or earned it…No child left behind. It is sending mixed signals to the child. It is okay to fail in one area or another. Why do my best, be my best. The effort is a waste of time. We are all going to get some special award and our diploma anyhow. So what if I can’t really read or write or even do basic math. Machines will do it for me. I don’t have to read a book. I can listen to it or watch the movie, same difference, right? Who really cares so long as I’m not in the way? I don’t have to learn math, I have a calculator that with just the push of a button will give me the correct answer so why study. Who really cares about the process?

Churches are not much if any better today. They no longer teach morals and God given laws. They are politically correct and just about anything goes. That helps bring more money into the coffers when no one is offended in any way. Many now speak of God as a higher power, not Lord God Almighty but whatever higher power you choose to believe in, be it the Judeo-Christian God or some other god or whatever power you choose, wind, rain, stars, the moon, the cobra, the cat or a tree. It makes no difference as long as you believe in something beyond self. Not every church is this way but a lot are today. I’ve been there and listened to them. God forbid we offend anyone and stand up for God and His teachings. I’m sure God is very offended and that bothers me.

No wonder children, our young adults don’t know right from wrong. Oh some will blame it on Satan and his legions of fallen angels called demons (You know, the devil made me do it.) and that may be correct to a point but it is each of us who make the choice. We decide for our self how we choose to behave. How can we choose when we are not taught morality in the first place?

We are a society that has become segmented, segregated and morally corrupt. Drug and alcohol abuse is no longer just ghetto garbage; it is rampant in the highest echelons of our society and affects everyone from the homeless wino in some back alley to the CEO of our multibillion dollar corporations to the government leaders of our communities and nations. We reap just what we sow.

It is sad when we see young children becoming so disconnected with reality and life and living and the wonder of being human and alive that they no longer feel life is worth their next breath and they put a gun to their head or their neighbors or peers and squeeze the trigger. BANG and it is over in a split second. No more worries, no more fears, no more feeling lost and alone, no more being bullied and belittled, no more nothing. Is this what our society as come down to? God, I hope not.

Maybe we shouldn’t have thrown God out. Just a thought on my part.

Another Book Review!

Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:52:26 +0000

This is a book review on a test of faith. This is another book our very own Triond writer Erin Miller has wrote. She also has many other books out as well. So go take a look at them and order some from her.

In the book a test of faith it is about a lesbian couple who split up. One of the women was assaulted because of her sexuality. It shows how some people can be mean towards homosexuals. It shows what some people that are homosexual deal with living in a closed minded world.

It shows how when some people seek help because they need it they are often turned away for some reason or another. It shows how hard it is to seek needed help from professional such a a psychiatrist etc. It shows how messed up the legal system is.

In the book a test of faith it shows how messed up Christian people can be. It also shows how people do things in the name of their god which isn’t right. Such as rape people who are lesbians and assault them because it is what god wants.

In this book though it also shows how real Christians are. How people who believe in god and are really right with him will do whats right to help others.

I liked this book. I think that it was a nice story about how people really can be in different scenarios and how messed up this world it. I also like that it shows how messed up cops can be.

Time Heals BUT Forgiveness Makes YOU Well

Thu, 02 Feb 2012 21:39:02 +0000

TIME HEALS BUT FORGIVENESS MAKES YOU WELL

I’m along in years now, elderly, and like all of us my life has had its ups and down. Life is never easy for any of us. Loved ones leave or die and we feel a horrendous loss like a part of our heart, our life has been ripped right out of us. Someone gossips about us and spreads rumors without knowing all the facts or twisting truth taking things out of context and injecting their own conclusions and it tarnishes your good reputation. We over-extend our self financially and end up with financial issues that cause us grief much to our distress and at times, our embarrassment.

We all sometimes make bad choices or others make bad choices and we get hurt, emotionally, physically, financially and even spiritually. Sometimes we find it difficult to get beyond the pain, the grief, the hurt, the anger and the frustration that is left behind in the wake of the injury.

Sometimes we can fix it. More often we can’t and we have to just pick up the pieces and move on. It is not an easy thing to do but time heals, if we let it. This is when you need to truly live just one day at a time; don’t cling too yesterday and don’t project the future, just live today. It is all we really have anyhow, just today. We can’t go back and change one single moment of the past. It is over and done with. We do not know, cannot know what the future holds or even if we will see a new tomorrow. None of us know that. We can hope and dream and even plan for days to come but we cannot know what tomorrow will bring until it becomes today.

Eventually, after a few days, weeks, maybe even a few months, depending on what the situation is, the immediate pain subsides. The anger, the feeling of loss or the embarrassment eases and slowly fades into the shadows of your mind. Time heals but it also has a tendency to leave scars behind. Too often we find our self hiding behind those scars. With withdraw into our own shell. We stop truly communicating. We over-react to a look or a comment that we might otherwise blow off or simply ask, “Did I hear what I think you said,” and ask for an explanation…and worse we refuse to let go and we dwell on all the hurt.

Sometimes we even do the unthinkable, what we would not do. Instead of doing unto others as we would have them do unto us, we do unto others as others have done unto us and the cycle of damage rolls on from person to person and generation to generation. As long as we allow past injury to dictate our present behavior it will never go away and nothing will change, It will always be there to haunt you. They say time heals, maybe, but it sure can leave some ugly scars behind.

It took me a long time to get this, really get this, accept it and put it into practice in my own life. It is not time that truly heals…FORGIVENESS is the true healer. It is hard to forgive when you have been seriously hurt. It is hard to forgive those who have hurt you. It is hard to forgive yourself for your own wrong doings, bad choices but learning to forgive is the only way you will ever truly heal.

Forgiveness is a whole lot more than “I’m sorry.” “Okay, I forgive you.” That is just the beginning. You may never get an apology but you need to forgive anyhow.

Let me give you an example. When I was a child and even into my young adult years there was someone who was treating me very badly, saying bad things about me and attempting and occasionally succeeding to do bad things to me. I feared and hated this person. I even tried to tell others whom I thought would help and do something about it what was going on but to no avail. This person wouldn’t do that.

I had misunderstood. I was the one to blame. They wouldn’t believe me or maybe they did believe me but couldn’t or wouldn’t accept the possibilities or maybe were too insecure themselves to help.

For years I feared and hated this person and avoided this person as much as possible.

I would literally quake inside if I found myself in a situation where I had to be alone in this person’s presence. Eventually I learned to forgive, forgive for my own sake because I couldn’t live with that pain anymore. I couldn’t live with the fear and the hate and ever truly move on in my life and be happy. I couldn’t change what had happened. I couldn’t make this person a better person. I couldn’t make this person respect me. I couldn’t make this person love me for who I truly am. There was no way to retaliate and not bring myself down to their level of wrongness. There was nothing I could do and it left me hurting and broken until I forgave this person and truly meant it. You have to learn to love (agape kind of love) the person even when you abhor the behavior. You have to come to recognize it is not the person you hate, it is the behavior. Without the negative behavior you could really like that person. It is love (agape love) that heals and forgiveness that makes you well and the love and forgiveness comes in time. So I suppose, in a sense of the word, time heals.

Forgiving a person does not mean you ever have to like or trust that person again. It doesn’t mean you have to be their friend or even be around them. It doesn’t me that you will forget but you will learn from the past and are better able to keep yourself out of such situations. It is the forgiveness that actually makes you well and able to truly move on and not let clouds of yesterday darken the sunshine of today. You can finally dump the garbage and all that old baggage that is making your life painful, sorrowful and stuck in a bad place. Forgiveness does that.

Not too long ago I talked with this person and I told them exactly how I felt and what their actions had done to me, how it had hurt me all these many years. I told them I forgave them and even though I loved them as a person I could not like them because of their behavior toward me. I did not and do not like the behavior and that for a time it had left me very broken. Unfortunately the person laughed and said. “Yeh, but I enjoyed it and I told you no one would ever believe you. I made damned sure of that.”

For just a few seconds I cringed and recoiled like this person had just punched me in the gut. For just a few seconds I wanted to strike out as venomously as I knew how but I didn’t. I just walked away. This person knows my feelings. This person knows I am no longer holding a grudge or any hate toward them personally and that it was, is their actions and attitudes I hate and will no longer allow to hurt me. I have forgiven them and shifted the burden. It is now their baggage, their burden to carry and what they do with it is their problem. I will probably never forget those injuries from the past but neither will I dwell on them or use them as an excuse for my own behavior. It is finally over and I am well.

My Current Views on Things Part Two

Fri, 20 Jan 2012 23:51:39 +0000

National Pride, Religion, and Currency, are the top three killers in the world! Greed is attributed to each of these three things.
When a person has national pride they think their nation is better than everyone else and in turn think they are better than everyone else, which is a form of greed. Religion is a top killer mainly because of humans false interpretations of religions. People in religion then proceed to kill in the name of their god(s). This is also a form of greed to think that your god(s) is more supreme than your neighbor’s god(s). Bigoted Christians would be a good example of greed in religion. Though they are not the only religion that kills and spouts hate in the name of their god(s).
Finally, we have currency. Everyone is greedy over currency. Currency doesn’t necessarily mean money either. Currency is a word used to describe whatever holds the utmost value such as oil.
Since all humans are greedy when it comes to national pride, religion, and currency we have wars. It goes to show then that greed is the strongest killer in the world and that humanity still needs to evolve to a level where there will be less greed. Unfortunately, this will never happen…Some people say that people who are on “government cheese” are useless. Not so! Many of these people have severe mental and physical health problems and the programs are needed. Not many others understand health issues especially if a person doesn’t look sick. I can understand being angry at the people who play the system to get on welfare and SSI though. Those are the types of people that ruin it for everyone else. Once again it also another form of greed. Every human has greed no matter what. Greed doesn’t necessarily mean money hungry either. It could be national pride, self-loathing, and other things, which you should be able to figure out if you open your mind and think about it.

There is more as well. The single mothers that are on “government cheese” because they can’t afford to take care of a child on their own or were forced not to get an abortion. You would be surprised how many single mothers I know that loathe or resent their children. Once again that is one of the many reason I am for abortion. A child deserves a loving parent or parent(s) and if that can’t be given than the woman should have the choice to abort.

Anyway, I have more views coming but this is what I have for now. And it is a mess of thoughts mainly because I was typing it as I was thinking it. More of my views on things are coming soon…

Give Me a Reason to Hate Someone

Tue, 17 Jan 2012 11:23:49 +0000

Give me a Reason to Hate Someone

It may have happened only during the childhood that I hated something or someone but I am sure that it had more to do with the environment, family, conditioning, and the imitation of others. A child is so innocent that it never knows how to hate something just by looking at it because it can pick the dirtiest of the edible things and keep it in its mouth. But with the progression of time, the child begins to acquire tastes and knowledge about good and bad and the worst begins to reveal in the growing child. Parents begin to teach, teachers begin to teach, friends and relatives add to the teachings, and as a result the growing child develops as the accumulated store house of the borrowed thoughts.

Having reached the adulthood, having obtained diplomas and degrees from colleges, the same child is revealed as an educated young man. Now he has multiple choices; he has learned to live with good and bad, ugly and beautiful, rich and poor, literate and illiterate, and so on. The most dangerous thing which he acquires in the process is the hatred which has been infused knowingly or unknowingly into his mind. If he is conditioned in a Hindu family, he has an intrinsic disliking for his Muslim brethren, and if he is brought up in a Muslim family, he is taught to disregard all that is related to idol worship.

What I mean to say is that we are not, at the time of birth, equipped with the software called hatred but many updated versions are introduced to us in the journey of this life.

My students often ask me about this thing and I try to convince them but then they say that only a saint or a recluse can do this. I don’t understand why every single human being can’t do this.

Let me begin with religion: why you should hate someone only because of religion is a very disturbing question to me. It is his or her way of life and it has nothing to do with all those things which you do together in your office or college. Your Muslim brother works in the same office, drives the same car, enjoys his coffee with you, partakes his sandwich with you and other colleagues, dresses in a pleasant way, speaks the same language, smiles like you, sings like you, looks like you, though colours might be slightly different. Yes, you are disturbed because he goes to a mosque and not to a temple or a church like you. He does not worship an idol or does not listen to the Ten Commandments. You are worried because he is going to celebrate Id and not Christmas or the Hindu festivals. You forget that his book might be different, his method might be different, his style of prayer might be different, the language of his prayer might be different, but don’t you see that he is praying to the same God, the God which has never been seen by anybody in this world. If you have a better vision of the unseen God, then I might be wrong in my conclusion. This very beautiful action of worshipping the unseen God makes you the same; you are not at all different. All those differences which you have developed in this life are your own creations and it has nothing to do with the nature and God.

Some have the habit of hating others only on the basis of nationality and it makes me feel definitely superior to them because I see the entire earth as a microscopic particle floating somewhere in the infinite vastness of the universe. They have created boundaries and made nations on this speck and given one more point to human beings to hate each other. This is really ridiculous and nonsense. Patriotism is without any question against all that is beautiful in this world. A firm patriot can’t, even if he tried, love others from other nations because his mind is not ready to accept the untaught fact. Some software in his mind is stubbornly conditioned to hate all that which does not agree with all that is happening in his own country. This is definitely the most stupid reason to hate others.

Some people hate others only because of their eating habits. They hardly ever pause to think that one’s eating habit has everything to do with the availability of the food items in the part of the world where he lives. It has nothing to do with love and hate, and it has nothing to do with religion. In Australia they eat kangaroos, in Russia they eat horses, in Arabian countries they eat camels, but in a country like India they will eat goats, sheep, and chicken but if you talk about eating cows, buffaloes, horses, and camels, they immediately begin to hate you. In most of the African countries, they eat everything and no animal is pious or impious to them because the scarcity of food has made them eat everything. I am sure that many of you will begin to shed this particular point of hatred from this very moment.

If I begin to pick the points one by one, I am sure that I will have to rally all the courage and all the time to write an epic on the topic ‘Why Humans Hate”. For the time being I am leaving you with your own ideas which compel you to hate others. Just be calm and think deeply before taking to hating someone or something.

So Much to Prove

Sun, 08 Jan 2012 09:06:31 +0000

I wish you would stop playing with my head
Getting into my bed
You creep into my mind
Not physically here
Not even near
I cant help but cry
This dark twisted game
Only you are to blame
For the place i am now
You push me away
And come back one day
Thinking ill help you out

But to me youre nothing
Nothing but a user
Boy you have so much to prove
Before you can come near me
You need to hear me
Or you will always lose
No matter how much i care
You have so much to prove

I wish you would begin to see
That in the end its me
A guy that you could trust
Your past holds you back
And now you begin to lack
you shouldve already known
I wont always be here
So now its time you hear
Everything that is wrong
Youre like dope
I keep false hope
You cant give me a reason to stay

So to me youre nothing
Nothing but a user
Boy you have so much to prove
Before you can come near me
You need to hear me
Or you will always lose
No matter how much i care
You have so much to prove

Before you get here youre gone
Youre always running away
you make me feel like im wrong
Like theres no other way
So now ill take a stand and say

Youre nothing to me
Nothing but a user
Boy you have so much to prove
Before you can come near me
You need to hear me
Or you will always lose
No matter how much i care
You have so much to prove

Peace of Mind

Peace of Mind

Image by SuperFantastic via Flickr

Your lips move, I hear no words,

Like a coiled snake, your tongue flicks,

Whispered in my ear, cautionary fear

For a brand new bag of tricks.

You’ve taken the wrong path,

Destruction is your fate,

I feel the death of a dove

As you destroy all that you love.

I don’t want you’re touch,

I don’t like what I find,

I just want to feel

Peace of mind.

Illusion is your final game,

Poison comes from your pores,

A waste and such a shame,

Your soul is filled with sores.

I will not be a part of this,

I cannot be with you again,

Shadows haunt your dreams

Filling you up with sin.

I don’t want your kiss,

I don’t like what I find,

I just want to feel

Peace of mind.

Occupy

The lions of humanity is awakening with every breath they takes. The scene in the world stage is clear. The obvious is the profound. For what is transpiring in the world, leads us the 99% to ask why. Why is it that children get raped by out so called holy men? Why is it that the church commits crimes internationally (Canada being one of the most inflicted) and goes unpunished if not dismantled? Why doesn’t the mea culpa speaking pope turn himself in for being the biggest farce and unholy waste of a meat bag pedophile on the planet? Why is it that billions of people starve to death in a world of plenty? Why is it that children and mothers die of starvation when the worlds industrial nations suffer from obesity? Mind sharing some of the food you fat jerks. Billions live on less than two dollars a day. When, children starve and die, for the profit of the few. And let’s also be aware of those who speak out against it mysteriously end up dying? We the aware 99% have asked and have found our answer. We can see that the structure of society is the root cause of the way it is. Thus the global revolution is taking place. Human beings, who are really consciousness being humans are starting to rise in mass numbers. This revolution will continue. We have the cause, our cause, to eliminate the elite class, not through violence, but though the awareness of the parasitical sickness that they are. For the few parasites that wish to maintain their control, our awareness has our eye on you. The biggest threat to you is that you’ll be discovered and removed, and your fear has come to pass. We, on a collective level are aware of your presence. The awareness that we are, will be meeting some challenges soon. Mainly because the parasites will attempt to do everything in their power to maintain control over us, to make sure we are not successful. However, as many Taoist have said “awareness changes all”. And all of us are becoming more and more aware. Oh, the parasitical few who is reading this; I know what you’re thinking. “We’ll make it rain darkness, so you won’t find your way out.” I have a few (pun intended) things to say. You are failing. OK, control and suppression is dying. Also, you can give a lion a mea culpa, because it isn’t aware it’s a lion, but as soon as the lion becomes aware of itself, well, you can fill in the rest. We are humanity, we are consciousness, and we are the 99%. Each of us is a light in the darkness that shines like no other. So to those who make it rain darkness I have one thing to say. Let the darkness rain, and we’ll light it.

Today Deperession, Tomorrow… YOU Decide

Sat, 10 Dec 2011 11:19:36 +0000

The American government is pummeling into rubble and no one, i repeat no one truly sees the dangers ahead of us. Our rights are being stripped. We can be condemned as terrorists just for disagreeing with our governments decisions. And what do we do? Nothing as usual. We sit and continue being silenced. We are dehumanized by our very leaders. This article is not terrorism. It’s truth. It’s the now and the future for us Americans… and the rest of the world. Whether you choose to believe or not, illuminati exists. It is very possible illuminati isn’t a select group of people either. It is very possible it is everything we believe is good and evil all working together. There are no good guys, there are no bad guys… There is just us THE PEOPLE of the ENTIRE WORLD and the wealthy. The fiends that try to take power… that are in power… the mainstream media… They all exercise the same things… Censorship… Extortion… Torture…

As of now the world is exercising a protest. Today’s date 12/10/2011… Peaceful protests with no absolute leadership… no real communication… no real progress… If you haven’t seen the movie V for Vendetta I RECCOMEND you do so. Pay attention to detail in the film. It uses shadows and comparisons of what is happening today, yesterday, and what can happen in the future. We may be slaves to power and money… like we have always been but on a much smaller scale. Imagine curfews in affect, having to wear badges or I.D. necklaces. Having to carry around a card similar to what the Jew’s had to do when the Nazi’s were in power… I am not talking just in the U.S.A… I’m talking world wide.

I believe peaceful protests are a good idea right now don’t get me wrong I am not ordering anyone to be violent… because in the end it is true… that is all that our leaders around the world want us to do. They want to push that red button to put us in our place.

We as people need to take steps, in order to truly be free. Every ones dream around the world no matter who you are is a utopia. Yes this may be physically impossible because of differences to be a perfect society, but imagine… Just imagine a world where money doesn’t matter… enemies become one… the greedy perish in the distant mist… and we are FREE. Free of oppression, depression, censorship, torture, judgement. I do not care what religion you are, or your political stand point. At the end it doesn’t matter, We are all the same, we bleed red, we all laugh, we all cry. We all love, we all hate. We are all the same. Black, white, Hispanic, Asian, albino, pink, blue, green, doesn’t matter.

We need to link arms and make what we believe in happen. In the end there are truly more of us than there is of them. Imagine swarms of billions of people stepping up to one mega giant greedy bastard, with an order of fashion. It’s truly not anarchy, it’s peace… between all people… all together as one. They have weapons, but we have numbers. You can only destroy so much, then before you know another tidal wave splashes ashore and rocks the world. Whether you believe in god or not, what ever you believe in we all actually believe in the same thing. Just remember that. We all look to BE AS ONE. We all want love. Real love.

I’ve been through so much in my life and I am only 21 years old. Things have driven me to hate the world, figuratively. In the end all I want is to be loved, just like everyone else. Who says all we have to do is look for that one person… yes you should find him or her… but what if we find a way to all love each other. I challenge every single one of you who read this. I want you to quit judging and just try to understand people, this is the first step to conquering the world. Love each other, trust each other, be honest to each other… After we do that… We are unstoppable…

YOU DECIDE… what is tomorrow’s date.

Just Some Random Ranting About Life Take Two

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 03:46:32 +0000

Well I’m back again to complain about things not worth complaining about. Either that or just spilling my mind about random things that I’ve noticed about myself in the last few days (not that anyone really cares). So here we go.

Well I have been more or less enclosed in a small community for the past ten months and I’m getting rather stir crazy. I love to meet new people and I can’t really do that while I’m forced to socialize with kids who I really don’t even get along with that well. I get limited social interaction with the “outside world” as I like to call it so I’ve been resorting to typing random names in on the Facebook search and adding people who have similar interests or look interesting as an attempt to meet new people. It works out well most of the time, which is a good sign about one of two things or both: either people are becoming more accepting of others that I thought, or I’m actually improving socially for once. As I said, it could be a combination of both.

Now on the note of people being more accepting, there is also a large amount of people that are not… and that gets to me sometimes. Why is it that people often times feel above someone who is reaching out to be friends with them? It’s like me making cookies for my new neighbor and then them feeding them to their dogs. It really bugs me to see people who don’t give other people chances. I’m usually in that boat and it really sucks.

What’s the harm in giving someone a chance to be a friend? I don’t see any. Humans are social beings. That’s just a fact. I think that not giving people that chance is like not giving someone lunch at school; they’re both fairly necessary for a positive life experience. Now and again I’ll meet some cool people though. So I’m not saying everyone is a Negative Nancy, but there are quite a few of them out there.

Moving on now to some other random shit.

Why is it that teens are soo crazy about sex and all that? This I honestly don’t know about so I am legitimately curious as to what’s so fucking special about it. All I hear about is “let’s go fuck” or “give me head” or some shit. What is the whole big deal about? Can someone just tell me that?

I really see no valid reason for people to be always seeking that out. Half of society seems to base their opinion of themself off of their sex life. But what do I know? not much. So I guess I can’t really have an opinion on this. It just bugs me that guys will often times try to talk girls into getting laid and all that… I dunno. Makes little sense to me.

On that note, what’s the reason that people take high school relationships so seriously? You may as well call them relationshits. They’re meaningless almost 99% of the time. Odds are that you’ll go off to different sides of the country to study and almost never see one another again. The phrase ‘I love you’ is overused nowadays primarily because of this. The word ‘love’ has lost a lot of meaning considering most HS relationshits are based around a sex life (from what I’ve seen at least) and they relate that to love. Pretty weak usage if you ask me. Sex ≠ love.

In another part of these, from what I’ve seen, the couple will often times be overprotective of one another (i.e. the guy wont let the girl talk to any other guys and vice versa). I see no real point in this mindset because its bound to happen anywaiz so why not let it happen as opposed to freak out when it does? ’cause that’s what always what happens.

You know what really annoys me? When someone goes out of their way to make my life hellish. Also known as bullying, this practice is a complete form of disrespect for the human race. Everyone is unique and deserves respect for who they are. Being weak and jealous to the point that you need to pick at another person’s flaws is pathetic. I have little respect for people who go around pickin’ on people because it’s just blatant disrespect. I don’t stand for that. So please… if nothing else, try to spread THIS message around.

It needs to stop (bullying that is). This action has caused many people to kill themselves and I was almost one of them several times. Bullying –> Depression –> Suicide. So please just send that message around. Be a leader in this pathetic world and help make a difference… ’cause changing this will do that. Trust me.

As always, comments and criticism welcome.

Best regards,

Andy
