Just Saying...

Being in something that you think is a friendship because that is all you know is emotionally draining. Never being anyone's first choice and always being the last person that is thought. That is not friendship and is not a way living. You need to walk away from that because there are people that care for you. You just need to find them. I know it is scary and that you are probably scared of being alone. It is not healthy. If you walk away from the toxicity, you'll find a better version you. It is ok to put yourself first sometimes. So please think of yourself if not for you then for me.

Recently, I have been seeing a lot of people reposting videos saying, “we need to save the earth”. There is no problem with that, but it’s a depressing topic to be passing around. This video won’t save to earth and the words we say with it won’t either. Words have power, but not enough anymore to save our home. We need to take physical action and not hide behind our phones and point out our faults because we all know them deep down. Also, how are we suppose to save this earth if some keep hating others for there race, gender, or sexuality. We need to be able to work in unity to save our home and if others see the differences as a problem. Then we won’t be able to do that. We need start helping and being kind to everyone to bring us to unity. This needs to happen between neighbors, towns, states, countries, and continents. And yes we have to work with the penguins. That will help the earth. Inch by inch.

Every teacher, adult, and parent keep saying that kids are losing their curiosity. I agree that we are, but I do not think that this is our fault. Kids look up to their parents for information because we know that they are wise even though we might hate to admit it. Our parents need to encourage us with our curiosity. Most of the time they will just say, "look it up". That is not encouraging us. That is just shoving a screen in our faces and saying, "Do it yourself". Technology has been very efficient in our every day life, but has diminish our ability to think. Soon their will be no curiosity left and with that no more new innovations. The most important thing is that teachers, adults, and parents encourage the youth curiosity.

Sometimes a person that gets really close to you can leave so fast and easily. They'll say they will always be there and say "I love you". They make future plans then just leave because they are not having fun anymore. They ditch you and it's like they never exist. You just want to erase them from your mind, but then you also wish that they would  just walk through that door. But They don't. You try not remember all the fun you guys had. But then yo u think about the memories that could have been. But they left and are probably never coming back.

Today in my english class a student was trying to describe the features of the subsitute to our english teacher because he didn’t remember his name. The student began by saying, “he could get a wave in his hair”. Then I went, “he didn’t have hair”. The student continue, “If he did have hair he would be able to get a wave”.  The teacher didn’t know what that was nor what the student was trying to explain. Before he could continue again another student just blurts out, “He was black”. The first student said, “woah woah. I was trying to avoid that terminology”.  There are only 2 black people in that class, me and some kid that is never here, so mostly just me. I was fine when he said, “He was black”. It is not a bad word. I was not ok with the other kids explanation. He was stereotyping black people and that is not right. Because he thought black was some type of bad word. It’s not, it’s just a description just like white. I don’t know where we got in our society that we think st...

My friend let what others tell her put her in a bad mood. I keep saying don’t let others control your day, but she keeps letting the words get to her. I decided to write it, so I could stop worrying about and not make my day bad: People let words and actions control them like puppets. You let the words and people around them pull your strings until you can do nothing, but burst. You give that person power over you by reacting the way you  do. You let the words affect you, when Youcould just choose to ignore. That is right, you have a choice to let that person not to affect your whole day. I what they said or did was bad, but just ignore it. Diminish the power that they have over you. Don’t let them be you puppet master, because you are not a puppet to manipulate.
