Bullying

Some people don't seem to think bullying is an issue, that it is something that is normal. That it is something everyone will go through at some point in life. They say, "Oh everyone has been through at one point in their life." People don't understand that not everyone can brush things off their backs like you can or laugh it off and let it go. Sometimes when someone is being bullied they take it very hard. They let it get to them and sometimes it consumes their life and daily schedules. Some people have been bullied their whole life and still don't know how to deal with it. The bullying hurts so bad that all they seem to think about it the worthless person inside of them. They have tried to be positive and look beyond the hurtful words and pranks. They have tried to reach out and get help from adults or staff but they do nothing but say,"Just ignore them or we will keep an eye out." But nothing ever gets done about it. How long can you ignore something? If you had cancer, how long could you ignore it? You say well cancer is very different from bullying. How? Being bullied eats away inside of you and is slowly breaking you down until your dying day. Being bullied isn't a joke, it isn't something that should be shook off. Young kids are killing themselves because they think they have no where else to turn. Because no one was strong enough to stand up to the bullys and put an end to it. Because everyone thought that the person being bullied was over reacting. That they just wanted attention. It wasn't the attention they wanted, they just wanted to be happy again. No one ever knows every detail of someones past, maybe they have been through some pretty tough stuff and when you bully them all they think of is "My life is never gonna be good, I'm never gonna be good enough." Help make someones life brighter and put an end to the bullying.

The Executive Branch

What is the Executive Branch and what do they do? There are three branches in the government and they are the Legislative, Judicial, and Executive. The Executive Branch plays a very important part in our government roles.Who ll is in the Branch? President Obama is the head of the Executive Branch. He is assisted by the vice president, the departments, and independent agencies. So what do they do? They make sure that ours nation's laws are followed and carried out thoroughly. They also make policy in different areas such as defense,education, commerce and much more. They basically responsible for "doing" the law.

Overcoming The Worse

Have you ever felt really low in one point in your life? Like you were in a hole and couldn't seem to find a way out? How do poeple overcome things they have been through?

I know I have been there before a lot of times in my life I have found myself in a deep hole searching for a way out. How did I overcome the worst times of my life?

When I down in the dumps or something tragic happened to me in time I tend to look for somone such as a trusted adult or a close friend to talk to. Sometimes I even went to talk to a thereipst when I really needed some professional help with an issue. Always remember that no matter what it is that your going through that there is always a way to get through it and come out smiling. Whenever you feel yourself getting in a hole find someone to talk to or if you have a way of fixing the problem on your own without making it 10 times worse, go for it. Everything you go through in life makes you the person you are in the future. "God only gives you what you can handle and nothing more... You just have to keep faith in yourself and in those around you!!

What Makes Me Happy? :)

Has anyone ever asked you what makes you happy? All kinds of stuff make me happy from the littlest things such as waking up to sunshine streaming through my window to much bigger things like feeling my daughter moving around inside of me. Being with Edward and my family makes me happy..Seeing my little brother smile and pump his fist in his air as the basketball swoops through the net scoring the winning the game. Fishing on the lake with my dad as he teaches me new tricks to casting always made me happy. Getting up early on Thanksgiving morning to help my mom put together the last minute trimming always put a smile on my face. One thing that really made me happy was watching my sister walk across the stage at graduation in 08. All sorts of things make me happy..

Bills and Vetoes

Is it right that the President can veto a bill? There are usually two sides to this story, some people think its okay and the others don't believe that it is the right thing to do. Why is the President the one who can veto the bill? First thing, what does veto mean? Veto is basically another term for "I forbid." So when the President vetoes a bill he is basically saying he forbids the bill being passed. But on the other hand the Senate and the House can out vote the Presidential veto and then if the President decides to veto it again then the process is started over again. So now we are back to the original question, is it okay that the President has the power to veto a bill? My opinion is that yes, I think he can because he is the main one who makes the important decisions for our country. So if he believes that the bill will do no good or make things worse in our country then he has to abide by his Presidential duties and veto the bill. Others make think differently, they may think that he has no right to veto a bill. It really depends on the subject of the bill and what every ones opinion is about it, for them to make a decision whether or not they think its right that the President should veto it or not. For example if the President wanted to veto a bill that stated "No dogs allowed in public parks", and someone who doesn't like dogs wouldn't mind if the President vetoed the bill or not.

Human Rights

There are many human rights but what are the very basic ones? I believe that one of them is the right to medical attention. Medical attention is the right to see a doctor and accept medical attention. The crappy thing about it is the fact that not everyone can afford medical attention. Or when you need to see a dentist you can't afford all the visits they want you to attend. Another human right is to live without someone discriminating you. That means you should be able to go into any food place or sit anywhere you want and not have to worry about people judging them because of there race or religion.

Government and volunteers..

Why does the government depend on volunteers to help get things done? When natural disasters occur somewhere in the world it is hard for just the government to do everything themselves so when volunteers help out things can get done faster.. Volunteers help out by having fundraisers and raising money for whatever is needed during the time of disaster..During 9/11 many volunteers went to New York to help out in a major time of disaster..They all went and helped look for survivors and transport them to the nearest hospitals.. Volunteers can also help with things less major such as helping out in nursing homes and things like that. Without volunteers most things such as major disasters and such wouldn't get fixed and worked on and done as soon as we would expect them too..
