Have you ever stopped caring so much that whatever happens, happens? I remember the time I had gotten in trouble by my mom because I had walked home from school. It was a gloomy day from it being so cloudy and cold. I was talked into walking home during school by friends whom, at the time didn't care about school as much as I did, cared nothing of school. I didn’t like it, but then again I started not to care either.…
The Never Ending Rollercoaster As my friends and I pass by store to store we had realized that there was a bright red flyers. It had caught our eye, we went and grabbed a flyer and it had said “Ladies and Gentlemen there is going to be a new rollercoaster opening up this Saturday! Come and join the ride!” My friends had said that they wanted to go and check out the rollercoaster.…
Have you ever had a child that resisted bedtime? Perhaps your child was afraid of the dark, was sensitive to every noise he heard, or simply couldn't relax himself enough to fall asleep. Well, that is our son Ian, and he has had challenges with bedtime from an early age. To help him feel comfortable at night, my husband and I would lie down with him until he fell asleep. Now we are trying to change this bedtime routine because not only is it unhealthy for Ian, it is becoming challenging for us.…

Okay, that was really weird and I don't understand anything. We were waiting to talk to you, my mother wanted to apologize for having moved away, she was not feeling well, it was too hot in the middle of all those people. We were talking about calling you into a cafe when we turned you were leaving the room with a couple. As I said understand anything.…
Nobody should kill themselves and they must believe that there a better way out. This also goes against my Christian religion Committing suicide might be wronging God in different sense namely by failing to respect his moral commands, which is also not to commit suicide. However, I don’t think suicide can ever be morally…

Losing someone you watched suffer in their last days on earth doesn’t feel anything like losing a friend that was your age who had their whole life ahead of them, and losing both in less than a 2 month span doesn’t help either. The year of 2013 wasn’t the best year for me nor any of my classmates. For me it actually started when I was in the seventh grade, my mom received the rights to take care of my ill grandfather (her father). Turns out he was suffering from early age dementia; caused from drinking at an early age which happened to be 12.…

There are many events in my life that has shaped me and the way I am today; but there are two main events that have shaped me dramatically. First one when I six and one when I was in 8th grade, both two way different things but they both tie together and make me who I am and who I will always be. It all starts when I was six years old and I just got done playing my soccer game at the Blue Valley Activity Center (BVAC). It was a warm summer day and our game was over and it was time to go home.…
It can also stop you from preventing suicide which is an opportunity to save a life. You have no idea what it could mean for that person or even you. Another argument people say is “suicide is selfish”. They say this because it is ending someone’s life to take all their problems away but it causes problems to people around them. Again, they are in a mentally instable situation so they don’t know exactly what they are doing.…
Everywhere, I saw children in my age with their grandfather, grandmother, or one of their parents while I was alone. I kept wondering “why that happens to me? Is there any problem? Where are my grandfather and grandmother?” I have asked myself these questions when my friends showed me the gifts they had from their grandparents.…
