It's a Wonderful Life

group that would accept me into their circle. For over half of my life, I wasn’t me. When looked at from a global perspective, I think it’s a problem a lot of people have because, as human beings, we always have a longing to be accepted. This is an issue that, in my humble opinion, the media loves to capitalize on. Social media, in my own personal experience, has been extremely toxic to my opinion of myself over the course of my life. I’m 5’11 and I weigh 130 pounds. If you’ve never seen me…

“ Nobody said it was easy. Oh, it’s such a shame for us to part”- Scientist by Coldplay A lot of people can relate to the song because it’s about losing someone. If I could change anything in the world, I would get rid of Addictive Drugs, Abusive Nursing Home and, Eating Disorders/ Self-Harm. They may seem like not a big problem but in teens and young adults, it is. They are all very horrible and scary things that are in our society. They need to be gone. These three things effect a lot of…

There was once a family of flies that lived in a vast meadow in Africa, with grass greener than any form of life you’ve seen. It was so huge, it seemed never ending. It was inhabited with all forms of life. Grasshoppers jumped with joy. The butterflies flapped with fascinating energy, and worms wriggled with excitement. All the families were kind and generous with others, sharing food. All but ONE…… The fly family was very selfish, eating all plants around them, so no one would get food.…

There are obvious truths about life, we are born, we live and we die. In the poem “Perfection Wasted” by John Updike he explains it a different way. He opens the poem as if he is mid-thought making the reader feel that they are entering in on the middle of a conversation: “And another regrettable thing about death is the ceasing of your own brand of magic,” (1, 2). Writing it this way shows that the narrator has been going on for a while, and thus has a lot of complaints. He says that after…

Hi Mum, Yes, it's pretty shitty at the moment and now we are approaching five months of winter ! oh joy Emoji I can't say that I've had a boring life, it's certainly been eventful to say the least.

She did tell me about her aspie husband and child. They both sound fairly low functioning on the autism scale. Aspergers takes…

Maybe their parents died, maybe their parents refused to help them. Whatever it was they are going on a rough path. First, something will happen to their family, Next they have to go to an…

I'd like to take a moment to thank our wonderful school district for keeping it's loyal and hardworking students in mind when deciding to not cancel school due to snow days. We students, especially those who live hours out of town, love driving in treacherous, dangerous, terrifying weather conditions where they can enjoy a full day of education. Because, really, what is more important than a child's education? Certainly not their health. A student's health should be the least of their concerns!…

In order to “get ahead” in the American economy, it’s stressed that we get good educations, good jobs, and have a good work ethic. We’re told that those who work hard are rewarded, and those who don’t find their way moving to the top are just lazy. In reality, though, that’s not the case. According to the video, only 1 in 10 people living in the bottom 1/5th of the population will ever make it to the top, and 1 in 3 will stay in the bottom where they receive only 5% of the wealth. It gets even…
