Gay rights moving faster than civil right?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

From my last blog, I just finished telling you about how some people think of same sex marriage as a flaw. However, we all have flaws that we don't often wish to show. The Gay Rights movement is going quickly. Gay Rights activist are now getting their points made to the people in power to legalize same sex marriage.
    I recently read an article called " A tipping point for Gay marriage". In the beginning a statement was made of a scenario where an client gets fired for having a very strong opinion. However, this was a true scenario when a client wanted to defend same sex marriage, however the law firm said that it wouldn't go against federal law, the constitution. This incident has Gay Rights activist speaking up louder than ever. The great thing that came out of this incident was that it reached to people in power. THAT WAS THE GOAL. People recognized that the law firm was wrong.
    At the end of this article the statement was made "those turning points still have a ways to go. I certainly can see that day coming. Compared with the civil rights movement for African-Americans, the movement for gay rights has proceeded with a remarkable degree of speed." I am happy to see this statement. I think that when the Civil rights movement was going on , people were WAY more stubborn, for lack of a better word. The fact that the Gay Rights movement can be seen is remarkable. It is finally shown that they should have the same rights as everyone else.


Kitties.

My cat moved the kittens to the side of my bed so at night they meow alot and it's a little annoying sometimes i wanna roll over and glare but when i see how cute they are i just can't be mad. Plus they're fun to watch when you don't have anything to do. They also have more fur now and it's not as slicked back as they were before the picture is dark but i'll take a few more later when it's a little brighter

Silencio, por favor!

Last night, I tiny-chatted ten of my future classmates.  It was after 11, but I was purposely in the kitchen so I wouldn't wake the entire house. A few minutes in, I got a phone call. From my mom. Who was upstairs. 

"Hi honey.  I know you're enjoying your conversation, but I can hear all of it!"

Just trying to make some friends before the fall, goshh..

1. Qué opinas: ¿Sabe la mayoría de la gente que tenemos 30 derechos humanos universales nombrados por Las Naciones Unidas?

No pienso que a mayoría sabe lo. Para países como E.E.U.U. es muy obvío la importancia de derechos humanos y para países como Africa maltrato de humanos esta normal.

2. ¿Crees que es importante saber que tenemos los 30 derechos humanos universales?

Claro es importante! Es muy triste que hay países donde chicas jovenes necesitan que casarse y chicos trabajan por doce horas cada día.

3. Si todos supiéramos nuestros 30 derechos humanos universales, ¿crees que lo sociedad sería diferente?

Si todos supiéramos, sería dificil controlar la gente porque personas lucharía para sus derechos.

A day in the life of.

Life for a 12 year old girl in Haiti in the conditions that it's in today would be very difficult. Given the circumstances, the girl would have already been in poverty to begin with; after the massive earthquake that destroyed homes, the land and killed thousands of people; the chid growing up in poverty would already have basic knowledge and instincts and living techniques that would help them survive the conditions that Haiti is in.

My life wouldn't compare at all to that of a 12 year old i Haiti when I was 12. The only comparison would have to be when I was about 11 living in puerto Rico, I did experience being in an earthquake, the house didn't fly away or anything, but that fear of not knowing whats going to happen and being completely out of control and helpless is something I know those people in general had to of felt at some point.

This 12 year old girl who lived threw one of the worst earthquakes in history will grow up watching the "re-birth" of a new nation. She will only have barely finished the seventh grade because of the country's shortages in educational supplies and qualified teachers. She will have a routine lifestyle that would seem impossible for me and soon marry and have children. They will grow up in a better environment then she did because of the changes over the years and be at a higher chance of a good education and stable job opportunities.

After the initial infographics we made were proven to be completely incorrect, we worked quickly and hard to get the second set finished, and I believe that that went well. We were not very organized, but overall, we overcame that problem. If i could go back and change things around, I would have made sure we understood the project description before hand. 

Be Concise- We knew or information very well

Be Visual- Being visual was accomplished, but the words were too small :[

Be Smarter- We believe that we were very smart about the information that we did decide to use.

Be Transparent- We were transparent in the sense that we were un biased. 

Be Different- We chose a different approach than that of our peers

Be Accurate- We presented 100% correct information from our sources

Be Attractive- I looked pretty darn good the day of the presentation :D 

Be Varied- The different styles of presentation we used in our project were different for each person

Be Gracious- being gracious did not work through out project becuase the topics did not flow well

Be Creative- We werent too creative

The Kids Don't Have A Chance

​B.O.B has a song called "The Kids". The lyrics go as follows: 

The drugged boy’s steady show time,
The streets don’t give a damn.
They’re filled with such pollution.
The kids don’t stand a chance.

We’re trapped inside a matrix,
Forced to play our hands,
We’re filled with so much hatred.
The kids don’t stand a chance


Over the past couple weeks the news has been filled with unfortunate events involving children. A college student found dead, a 9 year old girl kidnapped and strangled, another teenage girl gone missing, a baby dropped from a window, a 6 year old girl given botox, and even a famous young boy was shot and killed within the last week. The kids really don't stand a chance.

Where we left off..

Since the last time I left off, I've learned a lot more about why teens might commit suicide.

Remember how I mentioned the girls that made a suicide pact and got hit by the train? Well, I talked to my friend who knew the one and I found out all about what made her want to do such a horrible thing. Her father had committed suicide a little while ago, her and her boyfriend were going through a rough time. Her mom was having trouble raising her and her siblings by herself. So as you can see she had a lot going on. With her dad committing suicide alone had to be a lot for her to handle. On top of all this she had school to worry about. Her life was very hectic and she let it get to the point where she thought she would be better off if she wasn't here anymore.

However, teens find many other reasons to commit suicide. For example bullying. Bullying can be so hurtful if you let it get to that point. Another reason could be stress. It's just easier to end the stress by doing this. Another thing could be family problems. Like in the case above, with her dad. It was to much to handle. Or maybe a divorce or new dad/ mom. You never know. That's why I feel it's important to be nice to everyone because you don't know there story.

Passing?

I'm freaking out because i think i won't be able to go to prom even though i really want too. I have my dress and everything but it looks like math is'nt gonna get any higher and it all depends on my benchmark . I just hope it pulls it through and mr lucci's project is stressing me out cause i have to find random  trees and post them on this site. I honestly am tired of hearing about trees i understand they are good for us and what not and bad things happen to them but i could care less I just want to go to prom cause if you miss it once you can't do it over again

Women Need Help

So last time I told you on how the government was trying to shut down Planned Parenthood. I explained them shutting them down, but not to much the help that women actually need from Planned Parenthood. Statistics have shown that most women do not practice birth control methods because they simply can not afford them. Most of the women that use Planned Parenthood are high school kids and young adults (ages 14-24). 
Most young females know that if they ask their parents to take them get birth control then it will cause a problem within the family. Planned Parenthood also gives out information to females on how to be sexually safe and what precautions to take. I mean isn't it always better to be safe then sorry? The government really has no idea what goes on with urban women. They have no clue what it is like for a woman to go and try to get sexual health.
In the end it all comes down to proving the point that Planned Parenthood does to many services for it to be cancelled.
