Bullying

So lately in the news, you've been hearing about suicides due to bullying. And some people out there must be thinking, that was probably some really harsh bullying or the kid's a wimp. But I have a friend, who was teased and has tried to kill his/herself (not implying gender) many time. Bullying is very mean and extremely disrespectful to anyone and everyone. If you have ever bullied a kid or another person, you should be ashamed of yourself!

Bullying at first doesn't seem like much but it's just not on the surface that you hurt that person. It's deep down and it's those scars deep down that NEVER heal. My friend was in the hospital for over a month because some jerks decided that teasing him/her would be funny and cool. Well listen here you assholes, it wasn't! I hope you all get what you deserve! He/she told me that he/she held a knife up to his/her neck! Overdosed on his/her medicine! All there incidents are very real and i try to be a good friend and listen and support him/her whenever i can but my efforts are wasted if the assholes keep teasing him/her. The poor guy/girl switched school because people were being such jerks and every time i want him/her to come back, he/she says that will only make it more likely that he/she will kill herself.

Dr. Michael Fowlin, a man specialized in race,discrimination, violence prevention and personal identity. He gave a lecture and said don't be a zebra. You know why? Zebras, when one of them is attacked by lions/other predators they just stand by and watch it go down without helping. So if you ever tease someone or bully them in any way, KNOCK IT OFF! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW BAD YOU'RE HURTING THEM!!! Don't stop right before they go and kill themselves. Stop bullying before it even starts. Stand up for what you know is right, even if you're the only one standing...

"The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell

Okay, so i'm reading a short story called the Most Dangerous Game.

The main plot point of this story is about hunting. There's this guy, Rainsford who falls off a boat on the way to the amazon to hunt jaguars and finds an island. On the island, there's General Zaroff, from somewhere in Russia.

He really really likes hunting. Not as a hobby, a lifestyle. He has hunted every possible game there is. But he started getting bored. So then he goes and decided to start his own game reserve off the coast of south america. Rainsford washes up on the island, but he's a hunter too. So the general and discuss hunting over dinner.

When Zaroff finally reveals what the game is, Rainsford is appalled. Zaroff is capturing humans off ships that stop at the island and releasing them into a secure jungle. He gives them three days until the game is over. Within the three days, if he kills them, Zaroff wins, but if they survive, they get to go home freely. Zaroff has never lost. And now since Rainsford called him a murderer, he's going to be hunted by General Crazy-Pants!

I recommend the short story if you're really curious to see what happens to Rainsford, but if not, too bad cause I'm not telling!

Hey guys,

i know this is a really sad day to remember, you know, 9/11 and everything. but i found something interesting about a mythical creature that i had never heard off. it's called an Agloolik. They're from inuit and Eskimo (not sure what the difference is...) mythology. it's said that they're spirits that live in frozen lakes and grant good luck to passing hunters and fishers. i find them very interesting.

9/11- Never Forget

Here's a poem that i wrote. i was inspired by something my writing teacher said to me.

9/11- not just a dream...

FRANTIC VOICES, SCREAMING PLEAS OF HELP

LOVED ONES ANTICIPATING IT'S JUST A DREAM...

DEADLINE, ENCLOSING THEM IN A GIANT METAL COFFIN

THE SHALLOW HEARTS OF THOSE THINKING ONLY OF THEMSELVES, BECAUSE IT'S JUST A DREAM...

BOOM!!! QUAKES HIT A CITY, FLIPPING HEARTS AND PASSING INNOCENT LIVES TO A NEW WORLD, WAITING

IT'S JUST A DREAM WHEN MIGHT CITIES FALL...

IT'S JUST A DREAM WHEN DIRT FILLS THE LUNGS OF LITTLE ONES...

IT'S JUST A DREAM, THE DANGER AROUND EVERY CORNER...

BUT IT'S NOT A DREAM... IT HAPPENED

VOICES ONCE HEARD WILL NEVER SING AGAIN BECAUSE... WELL YOU THINK ABOUT IT...

I write this poem in the memory of everyone that died during 9/11
