...Letting Go. I finally could not take it anymore I stomped my foot down and I had to let it all out on the table and tell them how I truly felt and that I could not live my life like this anymore. I wanted to live my life and be able to have say of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. In the book Bradshaw: On the family he says that “Once internalized, shame was no longer available to us to monitor the limits within which our will could healthily function” (Bradshaw 206). I spoke up to how I should have say on what I do and it wasn’t fair how they just belittled me and just made me their human life puppet for them not living out their dream. That’s how it really was; I was living out their dream because they decided to make other plans on in life. I honestly loved playing softball, really I did until I started getting teased and harassed by softball teammates I had on the team. They would make fun of how I looked. The things they would make fun of me was that I had a gap in the middle of my two front teeth, that I had small feet but I was a tall girl, they would make fun of me for having thick eyebrows and sometimes say I was fat. Just really mean things it would break my heart and made me so angry and wanted to give them a piece of my mind but I knew I couldn’t. I wasn’t allowed to I would cry until I had no more tears coming out that’s how much I would cry to my mom and all she would tell me is that to not let words hurt me and that they do not want to burn any bridges...

...comfort. The younger generations have a clearer understanding of technology and the services the internet can provide. The older generation seems to be catching up as they begin exploring new means in making friends. Everyone deserves a chance at finding love; whether by dating the old-fashioned way or finding it through an internet dating site, love is fun and exciting. We ask the audience members to look at a situation between a mother and her daughter, their differences in age, and if the concerns of the daughter are reasonable. The authors ask the audience to think about how they would handle this situation if they were the mother or the daughter. If, after reading this script, you find that you relate to the mother and her interest in dating, then perhaps you can relate to the older generations and their desire to belong If however, you find that you relate more to the daughter, then you probably understand how the internet dating world works, and how the results of online dating can be both positive and negative. Cast of Characters Kathryn: A mother and widow had lost her husband to cancer six years ago; although he would always hold a special place in her heart, she decided it was time to take a chance and make a change. She had heard her girlfriends talking about internet dating and the friendships they had made, and she decided this may be the perfect opportunity. Many of Kathryn’s girlfriends had met several men that they found fun...

...I walk into my grandparent’s house, and my grandma is usually either playing games on her laptop or cooking with my grandpa. They are amazing cooks. I visit with them all the time. I might as well just live at their house because I’m always there. My grandma isn’t a milk and cookies grandma. My grandma’s name is Sandy, well actually it’s Sandra but everyone just calls her Sandy. She is my dad’s mother. She is only in her early sixties but looks like she is only fifty. She looks and acts younger. She has short blonde hair and is around 5’5” and wears contacts most of the time. She has blue eyes but she sometimes wears green contacts and I tell her how I’m jealous of her blue eyes and she tells me that she’s jealous of my long eyelashes. She has worked at a bank all my life and at one point she was the president of the Collinsville Building and Loan, but now she works at Federal Community Bank in Collinsville. She is a very brilliant woman with a wide vocabulary. I love talking to her just because I love to hear the difference in the language use between her and me. She has a very wide vocabulary and I use a lot of slang terms. You can definitely see the difference in the generations. She is the kind of person that doesn’t judge a book by its cover. She gets to know someone first and even after that she doesn’t judge anybody. She tells me all the time that life is too short to have enemies so just be friends with everybody and if your personalities don’t click then find someone...

...band means to me is far more important than what i can put into words. I have marched with the FORCE for the last two summers and how proud i am to be a member of such a great band is outstanding. It feels great to start off the school day in concert band and ending it with jazz band. There is not one part of band I do not like. I love playing at football games while freezing to death. I love playing basketball games while struggling not to hit the pole thing in front of me with my slide. The past year I got into some trouble in my personal life and band helped me through a lot of it. Whenever i would get mad or upset, I would spend hours practicing and I personally think that is why i have improved so much in the past year. Band is not just a class to me. Its where I feel like I belong. How I can express my emotions through music even though during IPA it looked like I did not even want to be here even though it was the only place I wanted to be. Like I said, how band makes me feel is far beyond words but if I had to use words I would say it makes me feel just amazing. I want to be a section leader in the Force because I would love to be able to have impact on our success. I know what is expected of a leader and I...

...5E N° 13 Love matters ‘All you need is love’, The Beatles once said and I couldn’t agree more. Everybody needs love whether it’s from your parents, your friends or your girl/boyfriend. Love is all around and comes I different forms. First of all I’m going to talk about my definition of love and what I look for in a relationship. I don’t want a serious relationship, I’m a teenager. I want someone who I can act like a complete fool around, I want someone who I can spend hours just talking about the most pointless things. I want someone who makes me laugh and who I can plan stupid things with that will never happen. Because I’m sick of seeing these movies with the girl falling in love with a perfect boy. Who wants perfect? I want adventure, I want someone I can tell my secrets too and waste my weekend with and act like we’re 5 years old again. I wanna have fun. Love can be the worst thing in the world and still feel amazing at the same time. I just want someone who loves me for me and who doesn’t judge me for who I am. The same way like I would love him for him and won’t judge him either. Secondly does a world without love exist? The answer is no, there isn’t a world without love, in all grades, positions and cultures there is love. How love is experienced, there are some differences but love is all around. That has to be a comforting (or scary) thought but it’s not always the love of one person to another. Love comes in many forms, from ‘ I love to read’ to ‘ I love God’. When...

...I see potential for him because he's a great character. EVERY character has potential imo, not just Enzo. So that answers question two for me, because I also see potential for Nadia. I like her as well so I think you need someone else to answer that question. But I believe Enzo could really work because he's a new fan favorite or so it seems. His personality just captivates me and he makes me invested in this show. The writers can choose to explore his character and have him help Damon. He COULD very well just be the next or new version of Alaric imo. For me, it's not much of what he has done. It's who he is as a character that makes me love him. His personality imo is just perfect and not to exclude, he's a hunk of a man. Here's a list of other reasons I adore Enzo: 1. He's awesomely fun, reckless, carefree, and a little psycho. Everything I love about a character. He's light-heartedness--something the MFG lacks. I have a fun time watching him have fun. 2. He had me at his first flashback. He was selfless and a good friend in the 1950s. And I found it sweet when he told Damon, "You were the most important person in my life, and you ruined me.." It shows he has a heart and it was warming to see. 3. He's funny imo. Ex: when he got pissed and threw a chair because Damon, Stefan, and Aaron weren't listening and kept interrupting his story. To quote: "Where were we? Uh, ah, right. I was telling my story, and you were all politely listening. Huh?... " Hilarious! And when...

...January 17, 2012 So I just “quit” smoking cigarettes for the millionth time, its been about 4 days now so we’ll see how long this lasts. I’m irritated it seems like more than ever but then again I’m always irritated so I’m not sure if I’m just acting normal.. Lately it seems like I just cannot control my anger for whatever reason and it seems to be getting worse. I take it out on everyone and everything. Am I depressed or what I don’t know.. But I do know that lately I’m getting more and more aggravated with Chris and the way he treats me. Yes he does a lot for me like keeping a roof over my head and he buys things for me and Tristan but I guess in my selfish mind that’s not enough. Chris never listens to me the way I feel he should for instance when hes gone to work in the Bay Area he calls me when he gets in the hotel he stays at and all he seems to care about is the stupid T.V. show or movie that him and the guys are watching. You’d think after a long hard day at work all a man truly wants is to hear his “loves” voice on the phone especially since hes not gonna be coming home to her in a few days… whats more comforting, his womans voice or the damned TV?!! But I already figured that one out and he sits and “trys” to conversate with me on the phone by repeatedly asking the same things over and over again so it sounds like hes making an attempt but hes so distracted by whats on the TV he doesn’t realize I see what he’s doing and how stupid its making him sound. He also doesn’t...

...My access When I begin to think about community service I think that what good I can do for others. I have always loved helping anyone out in any way. If I had to think of a community service in order to graduate I would pick anything. It wouldn't matter which one I picked and these are my reasons why. To begin, my whole life my family have taught me that I need to learn how I can be helpful to others. My church has taught me as well, we do service for other without them telling us they need help. My church would go around see anyone who may need help with raking their leaves or help putting things away. With no cost to it. I loved to help people out because it makes me feel better about myself. It helps me become closer to others. The...

Maybe some people just arent meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through. Its like some people just come through our lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn, and thats why theyre here... youll have that gift forever. - The Gift Sometimes the hardest things to say are the things that really matter Ive said what I needed to say, Ive done what I needed to do, now whatever happens to us, I guess Ill leave it up to you. I cant honestly say that I loved youat least not in that way. But I can tell you I know I could have, if you had given me the time to. I didnt say I love you to hear it back, I just wanted to tell you. I was lost. There was nobody for me to talk about everything that was troubling me. So I sat alone, with everything inside, and cried myself to sleep. never knew until that moment, what it was like to lose something I never really had. ~The Wonder Years Sometimes you just have to hold your head up high, blink away the tears and say good-bye" it's absurd, who you love and why, and how you can't turn it off when you desperately want to i wish that i was as invisible as you make me feel I've never understood the reasoning for someone to "move on" from a relationship.

You might not feel ready for this, but you have an important role in guiding and supporting your child through this important developmental stage. * About teenage relationships * When teenage relationships start * First crushes * Early teenage relationships * Talking about teenage relationships with your child * Sex and teenage relationships * Same-sex attraction and early sexual experimentation * Dealing with break-ups in teenage relationships * Extra help with teenage relationships * Teenage relationships for children with special needs About teenage relationships Romantic relationships are a major developmental milestone. They come with all the other changes going on during adolescence – physical, social and emotional. And they’re linked to your child’s growing interest in body image and looks, independence and privacy. Romantic relationships can bring lots of emotional ups and downs for your child – and sometimes for the whole family. The idea that your child might have these kinds of feelings can sometimes be a bit confronting for you. But these feelings are leading your child towards a deeper capacity to care, share and develop intimate relationships.

...When I need someone to laugh and have fun with — someone to learn from; or just someone to talk to — I have my whole family with me to do so. I know that my mom, my dad, my sister, and my brother will always be there for me when I need someone to be with when I’m not feeling like myself — and I know they will be patient and try to empathize with what I might be feeling. I believe that family is the most important thing in one’s life. My brother helps me to have fun, my sister listens to what I have to say, my mom teaches me to be patient, and my dad tells me to be curious and open-minded. I take in all of this and think how lucky I am. My dad always tells my brother, my sister, and me that family is most important, and that family should always come first before others. His belief influenced me greatly. What he says makes me stop and think. My dad and my mom have family overseas, hundreds and hundreds of miles away in Cambodia. My dad has been without his biological mother and siblings for about thirty-four years, since the separation during when the Khmer Rouge was taking over Cambodia from 1975-1979. In 2004, we all went to Cambodia to visit the rest of my family, who I barely knew. I try to empathize with what it would be like without my little brother, my sister, and my parents, but all the same, it was very hard to imagine. This experience of taking a moment to empathize with what it would be like in some else’s shoes, made me look at my life differently. What if I didn’t...

How to Plan A Social Event There are step to planning a social event and it is real simple. There’s budgeting, guests, entertainment, refreshments. It sounds like a lot but when I explain it trust me it will put your mind at ease. Budgeting is a good foundation to start for any party. When budgeting think of how much you want to spend and make it a reasonable amount not like 50 dollars a good amount. When budgeting it’s always good to have the money already and check prices on what you want at the party and how many guests you plan to attend. Guests are an important part to planning because you need guest for a party. When inviting guests write a list first of whom you want at the party. When writing the invitations be sure to put R.S.V.P. and your number that way you can get an idea and plan for a little extra people because some people with bring a friend or someone. Make sure you have a big enough space for all of them. A Place is big part of the budget because if you have like a lot of people coming and if you want dancing you need a big place and a big dance floor. So before the date of the party and inviting people look for a place but have an estimate of how many people you plane to invite.
