Reflection When I was 12, I had to worry about the same things that a child in brazil would have to worry about if they are a little above the poverty line. If this is not the case, most children at 12 have to worry about if their parents will ever come home. They would also have the problem if figuring if they have a bathroom that night. I was not really expected to find that sort of information. I would think that brazil had many happy moments. I have learned that a child usually has to worry the most when he or she parents are not around. I expect that at 40, a childs life could be very successful or filled with lot of sorrow. The reality is, your life can go either way it it only maters how you go about moving forward.

Esto es cereales. Tienes pequeñas piezas que sabor a fruta. En la foto los rojo, azul, y verde piezas son lo que están sabor de fruta. Con el cereales yo tomo leche.

Esto es mi favorito. Es una casero queso y carne. Tienes muchas cosas entro una pedazo de pan. Como tomate, sal, pimienta, lechuga, y mayonesa. Es muy bueno y se siente completo rápidamente.
Today I didn't make it in like I thought I would. I spent my day instead with my dad. This morning we went down to Uarts to pay my deposit. While there we ended up doing questions and working on paper work. By the time we got out and had lunch I would have barely been in school for one class period so dad decided I would go home with him. Though I was sad to miss school today I was happy I did. Being around Uarts made me really happy and I am glad I got in there. It is the same happy that I felt when I first came to SLA and I knew it was where I wanted to be. Also another good thing I am becoming friends with a fellow photography major which will help with being there :)
Yesterday, I discovered that my thirteen year old brother had a Facebook. However, he was not the one to inform me. In fact, no one did. I had to learn about this momentous occasion by creeping on my childhood friend's page. Clearly, I am an unloved sister; my brother requested Bryce, but not me.
The project that I am doing is for 9 grade English called "You and the World". Some people in the world don't know what's going on around the world or where they live. All most people know is that there are some issues that are going. People of all ages should know at least some things that are happening if not all, so they can get a clue to what is happening around them.
Throughout the years I have been seeing how people treat the animals that are around them. Many people may say that they love animals but behind doors they are treating them with plain old disrespect. And there are no one around to tell them to stop so the animals can live their lives. So to let people know, what may be going on around their neighborhood, I decided to do my project on animal abuse. I am interested in learning about this topic because i love animals. Then to know how some of them are being treated is tremendously heartbreaking. And knowing that some people don't even care about what's happening to them makes you wonder what did animals ever do to them.
For the past days I have been doing some research on how all kinds of animals are being abused. I found out that the elephants that are used in circuses are chained up 23 hours a day from the day they were young. Also that the animals at the circuses are being poked with sharp objects, beaten, and whipped to do their routines. And that 10,000 horses in the US are being slaughtered for horse meat for Europe and Asia but since the last the slaughter plant was shut down in 2007, the horses are know being shipped to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered. And lastly I found out that if animal abuse continues to go on, in the year of 2022, 22% of the animals will be extinct.
I feel as though animal abuse is a problem that should be taken care of right away before it's too late. Also that animals have the right to live just as well as humans. Lastly, I think that we as humans should take action and speak for these animals because they can't speak for themselves.
I will continue to do further research to how animals are being abused and to why do people abuse animals. I will also find out how people can help them and what they can do. And I won't stop doing research until the people know that they need to help animals.

my
life when I was was 12 was basically the same exact thing as a
Taiwanese school girl, minus the brushing of my hair, and the girl had
a stronger education most likely. I’m not surprised about the amount of
schooling they get, however I am surprised about the amount of freedom
they have. Health care stays the same with age, and so when she turns
40 she will be in the same situation except hopefully by the time the
girl is 40, she will have a job, or have a family of her own.
Wow writing these...not the best use of my time. I don't understand why we do this everyday because eventually I just run out of things i need. This isn't the least bit entertaining nor do I have the artistic talent to make anything anyone will ever want to read on their down time. It's pointless for me to probably even post this up here. Sadly I need the credit for the journal today so what I will do is leave you with a quote from portal 2. Actually I am too lazy to look it up. Enjoy the gibberish instead sntauhsontehusanotuhsanoteuhsaonteuhsnaoteuhsaonetuhaoeu
In this blog, you will probably have second
thoughts about making choices that might affect you in your later years in
life. It contains information that is effecting teen’s age 12-19. Hopefully,
this blog will change some of the lives of these young people and have them
realize that having sex at a young age can affect them physically, emotionally,
and financially.
My issue on this project is teen sex and STD's. I strongly believe
that in today's day and age, teen sex has become overrated. To some teenagers,
it has become the "norm" to have sex. I am really passionate about
this topic and I strongly believe that it's a topic that needs to be addressed
to children and especially parents whether they have children or not.
STD’s (Sexually Transmitted Disease) are another important issue
that are killing the lives of these children. Children as young as 15 are
diagnosed with at least one STD. Some even have more than one. Unfortunately,
the majority of teens don’t even know that they are walking around these
streets with it.
Stats on Teen Sex:
Most sexually active females that
are 15-19 years old have partners who are the same age or 1-3 years older
(74%). 25% of girls’ partners were 4 or more years older. ·
In 2002, 11% of males and
females aged 15-19 has had anal sex with someone of the opposite sex.
In
2002, 55% of males and 54% of female’s aged 15-19 had engaged in oral sex
with someone of the opposite sex.
·In 2002, 12% of all
pregnancies, or 757,000, occurred among adolescents aged 15-19.
·In 2006, an estimated 5,259
young people aged 13-24 in the 33 states reporting to CDC were diagnosed with
HIV/AIDS, representing about 14% of the persons diagnosed that year.
·In 2009, 46% of high school
students had ever had sexual intercourse, and 14% of high school students had
had four or more sex partners during their life.
·In 2009, 34% of currently sexually active high school students did
not use a condom during last sexual intercourse.
Of the 12 million cases, 3 million cases of
STD’s are among teenagers. About 13 percent of youth ages 13 to 19
contract an STD each year. The most common STD’s that youth contract are
Chlamydia, HPV, Herpes, HIV/AIDS, and Gonorrhea, to name a few.
One in four teenage girls in the U.S. has an
STD, according to the Centers for Disease Control. In Wisconsin, the rate of
four of the most commonly reported STDs among teens jumped 53 percent between
1997 and 2007. Females and minorities, especially African-Americans, have been
hit hard.
I wonder if teens do this for the attention or
if they do it because of peer pressure. I also wonder why teens don’t take a
stand in what they know is right.
My plan moving forward, is to continue to do
more research on teen sex and study STD’s and how they effect the human body.
Loving someone and being in a
relationship can be dangerous. You can have heart ache, infidelity, and
financial issues. Many problems can occur, but the biggest danger in a
relationship is Domestic violence. I’m super interested in Domestic violence
because Domestic violence is an issue, and many people look over it and don’t
care for the problem.
Domestic violence can harm you
physically and mentally, it can harm you so bad, that you stay in the
relationship. Some people get addicted and get attached to the violence.
Domestic violence can come from any sex, male or female. Domestic violence is
used to control your spouse or lover, to dominate the relationship. The abuser
likes to play mind tricks, and get you really scared. They threaten you, break
things, super hostile, and very aggressive.
I don’t understand how you can you
love someone, that harms you physically and emotionally. That hits you and
insults you, damage your feelings and make you insecure. Someone that makes you
bleed your own blood, and taste your own tears. How come so many women and men
stay in the relationship? The abuser is the coward not the person being abused
because they need to harm someone to make them feel big about their self.
The scariest part of it all, is
that people die from domestic violence. People lose loved ones, they have heart
attacks, internally bleeding, stress level to high, and more. Also, the partner
kills them, if they feel they are losing power in the relationship. Where is
the number and statistics, not many?
I bet your wondering why this blog is even here because of the sounding title? Well my teacher, Ms. Dunn wanted us to have a view of not only what is in front of our eyes but what is happening in the world also. This blog is dedicated, from my choosing, to Japan and the tragedies that are still going on today. Each week, we well blog about everything we learn about what we chose.
This week I am focusing on hardening my foundation on what exactly happened on March 11, 2011 in Japan. I'm interested in this topic because it not only effects Japan it effects us too, mentally and physically, Japan needs us to aid them through these tough times. Many of us have families over there. Others have probably just discovered that a little place like that could be that broken. Japan is tough, they can handle three main tragedies and still stick together as a country. Tsunamis, Earthquake, and Nuclear Reactors.
So far, I've gathered some quick facts together. Like "did you know"s? There are three major things on the Prime Minister of Japan's mind right now:
• Trading • Earthquake and Tsunami Relief • Radiation
Next week, I want to focus on how Japan is making money and how they are trading. I want to keep up with what the Prime Minister is worrying about and what Japan is doing to help fix this.
Here are the links I looked at that helped me with this blog:
You may already know that this nation is struggling trying to make the environment better for people to live. We are polluting our air and our earth by different chemicals and wastes. We are all in danger for the future because with out a clean earth we wouldn't be able to survive very long. There are many health risks underway and we need to take this in consideration.
For this project I am studying environmental issues. I am studying how things can be
used differently in order to help the environment be a better place for people to live. The reason why Im interested in studying this is because I believe that it is very important to actually know whats going on in the environment. Many things can affect us and we need to know what we need to do to make this place a better place.
In my research I learned about the different effects global warming could have on us and how we will have higher risks in getting different diseases from the toxins that are going around in. I also learned that there would be a high change in the weather because of the pollution.
In order to try to better the environmental issues we all need to make an effort by trying to save all things and try not to pollute the world with trash. It is very important that we do this because if we don’t we will suffer the consequences. We can all help overcome this but we have to be serious and want to make an effort to change.
"Gay is the new black" seems to be the new talk of the town in the gay community. A lot of different issues tie into that one quote. For example, a gay advocacy group called out President Obama for being a homophobic. They also accused him for being responsible for "don't ask don't tell" and the openly gay American Idol contestant, Adam Lambert for not winning the competition. You have issues that "popped off" from this saying that kind of rolled off this issue, like the prop 8 being overturned. This issue is very important in my eyes. Gays not having their rights reminds me of when blacks were fighting for their rights back in the 1900's. I feel that gay people are not doing anything wrong, they are just expressing how they feel and can't help being gay. Gay people are humans just like everyone else, and can't be perfect. Blacks got discriminated against because of their skin color and gays get discriminated against for their sexuality. It almost seems to me like it almost hurts some people to see gay people happy. For example, why did they have to overturn the prop 8 law in California? If they want to get married, then they should because they are in love just like a man and a woman would be. People say that "a gay couple shouldn't be able to marry because it is a holy matrimony". However, if they are bringing religion into it, then law shouldn't be related to any of it because that is not aloud. Sometimes I sit and wonder what is the real pain that homophobics feel. Is there maybe some pain that they feel from other things in their past, or was it how they were brought up. When I say that "they (being people who are straight) have no reason to discriminate", when I have three cousins that are gay and I am used to having to loving a gay person. When I first heard the statement "gay is the new black", I automatically got offended because I am black. I was thinking how can they compare slavery and black rights to being gay? Then I stopped and thought for a while, back in the 1900's, we had to fight for our rights just like gays are having to fight for the right to get married anywhere they would like to. Also, blacks are still to this day discriminated for our color and gays are discriminated against for there sexuality. I would like to enrich my knowledge and understanding of this quote.
A lot of people try to do it,have thoughts about it, and a lot even succeed in it no matter what the age. It's a very serious thing and a lot of people face it and a lot of families have to deal with the lost of there loved ones. I am doing a project in my English class called "You and the World" What this project is about is to pick a current event, that we were interested in and to research about it and blog about it.
The issue I am going to be blogging about is teen suicide. This topic interests me, because I hear about it all the time, I feel horrible and would love to give help to those teens who need someone to talk to. Another reason, is maybe you heard of those two girls who got hit by a train? Well, my best friend was very close to those girls, she knew them for a very long time. I saw just how effected she and all her family was. When I had heard about it, I was in shock. Couldn't believe that something so awful had happen.
After spending some time researching about my topic I learned about 2 million teenagers attempt to kill them self thats just in one year. Can you imagine? I never thought it would get to be this high, something has got to change. I also learned that suicide is the third leading death in 10 to 24 year olds. When I began reading the warning signs of suicide I noticed that it was something so tiny for example "Giving possessions away, making arrangements, setting one's affairs in order."-(http://depression.about.com/cs/suicideprevent/a/teensuicide.htm)could be a sign to something so huge. In my opinion I think a lot of people should be aware of these things, just to be sure so that they can help there loved one seek help.
I am interested in finding out why some kids decide to take their own lives rather then turn for help.I understand that not all of them want to go for help, but I think if they would maybe try it one time and see that they could save their own life and maybe others. Also, I'm interested in finding why some of the kids that bully are so cruel, and don't realize what there doing is so wrong and how effective it is.
For me to go forward in this research, I am going to have to do a lot more research. This is a very big topic and there is way more for me to read about. I am even going to talk to my best friend to see if she knew anything else about the two girls.
Imagine if I said you were laid off from your job, what would you do? Where would you go? Watching the economy even as a 15 year old is overly stressful to the point where daily I think about what will happen once I enter and leave college will there be an opportunity. College tuition is rising and job are harder to find, so will only the cream of the crop of student out of college and have chances at a well paid job, or Do up and coming college kids cope with the debt after college while becoming one of the unemployed citizens of the US.
The economy's numbers are dropping for available jobs and is getting worst then the Depression of the 1930's. Resent studies have shown that in december 2010 the unemployment rate has been to a high of 9.75% of people in the US. Then shown that percentage of the ethnical background of the unemployment rate are:
shown here Among the major worker groups, the unemployment rates for adult men (8.6 percent), adult women (7.7 percent), teenagers (24.5 percent), whites (7.9 percent), blacks (15.5 percent), and Hispanics (11.3 percent) showed little change in March. The jobless rate for Asians was (7.1 percent), not seasonally adjusted.
For the project we had to find information
about our topic and talk about it.
My issue "Child abuse" I
picked this topic because it was what I which to find out more and because this
topic got me to the point that it would make me sad.
I have learned so far
that there are many different types of child abuse like physical abuse, child
sex abuse (CSA), psychological/emotional abuse, and neglect.
For a child with a
history of neglect or physical abuse they have a very high risk to have
psychiatric problem, or disorganized attachment. The hardest to define from is psychological/emotional
abuse this kind of abuse and end up making a child blame themselves, feel not
loved.
Children that are being
physically abuse are very likely to have a lot of bone fractures, and many
higher risk of getting cancer. Physically abuse could be stopped if people that
see it happen would tell the cops or if the child tells. Sometime the child
will not tell because they might be to scare of what would happen if he/she
told.
A child that has being
sexually abuse (CSA) is a type of child abuse in which an adult or someone
older takes a kid for sexual stimulation. Types of CSA is when someone ask or
pressure a child to do sexual actives, having sexual contact with a child,
making a child make child pornography.
What I want to know is
why? Why do adult or older people do this type of things to a child? Why is it
that they would even think about this in the first place?
I’m planning to find out
more about this topic and try to find the reason why they would do this to a
child and what they can get out of it.
