Assignment #10

Bullying is one the biggest issues out in the world right now. I'm pretty sure it always has been. Not only does it happen in schools, but at work, in public common places, even in your own home. Someone being bullied can be scared forever. The history of pain, can haunt them, stay with them and change their future. Just bullying alone can damage someone's life. Anyone can be a bully. It’s mostly done because they’re own life sucks, or it’s being done just for fun. I was bullied at some point in my life, so far. It was the most horrible feeling I had ever had, aside getting heartbroken. Have I ever bullied someone? No, I have not. I have been mean to people, but I would NEVER bully someone daily, or someone who may look like they're from a lower chain. Which is no one, no one is better than me, or less than I.


Bullying is cruel and very hurtful. It involves hurting someone’s feelings. Why would someone be so mean as to hurt others emotionally, physically, and mentally. Maybe their jealous of that one persons simple, happy, full of joy they have in life. The one or many of the people bullies may be hurting, comes with a price in the end. It’ll come around and those being bullied will stand up for themselves one day. Everything has consequences in the end. “Actions speak loud than words.” They’ll take action, while your speaking. To be realistic, the one being the “Bully” won’t like it very much, and the one being “Bullied” will probably get bullied twice as much for it. But to think in thought that who was being bullied stood up and had courage, did what he/she had to do.

Not only does bullying take place on or off school grounds, with kids and teens but also at work; with co-workers. It can be happening in your very own home as well. The chances to being depressed because your being bullied are very high.

Teens, kids suffer from emotional damage daily, if being bullied. They often look to committing suicide as a way out. They go through depression and may also think that running away, as good escape. I think that it would only make things worst, not only for them but for those around them; friends, family, etc. being depressed over the fact of being bullied, is sad. No one should ever go though depression, especially because of someone’s insane way to make your life miserable. Adults being bullied are maybe people who get pushed around at work; they also go through depression, and thoughts of suicide. With bullying occurring at homes is because, it may be happening between siblings, adult and child, or between two adults. It may come to be surprising, but its very true.

Some bullies choose to do what they do because their having problems of their own. They take it out on others by being mean, even doing what is being done to them to others. Low self-esteem can also be a case. They see what others have and want it or ruin it, as if “if I can‘t have it, neither can you.” Jealousy. Another reason why, their probably just plain out mean. It can be enjoyable to them, and that’s why they do it. Which is an understatement because there is no excuse to ever being mean just to be mean.

Being bullied is the worst feeling to ever have to go through. I would know this from personal experience, and till this day, I can look back and feel the pain; still. I was bullied in 6th grade for quite a while. I was the new kid that no one knew and so they picked on me. I was being bullied by these “popular” girls, which they thought they were better than me and that they could just push down my self-esteem. I did over come it, and I stood up for myself. Sure, it may sound like something from a movie scene, but its true. I can think back and still feel hurt, but I also think about the friends I made and the fact that they were popular, no longer mattered. I had found who I was always meant to be friends with, the “outcast”. Which was perfectly okay with me! They were awesome friends. That whole experience made me who I am today. I have NEVER bullied someone to just do, or out of jealousy. I would never want someone to feel as bad as I did while being bullied, because it still hurts me to this day. The thing here is, that I have been mean. Rude, maybe. I do regret that cruelty of me, and everyone says, “No regrets.” That’s a lie. I would know, as I said, I regret ever being mean to anyone.

Bullying comes with consequences, and after effects. There are reasons why bullies bully, and its horrible. Its horrible to be bullied and or to be the bully. It leads to suicide, depression, and long term pain; regrets. Personal experience. I may not have this big story on how I was picked on, but I was and I will always remember the feeling. I have made mistakes in life by being mean, I guess bullying, I have paid the price for that as well. Its karma, and I believe in, “what goes around, comes around.” I would most definitely defend causes against bullying.

Book Report: Dead Girls Dance

My reasoning for choosing "Dead Girls Dance" is, its my favorite book of all time. Its the second book of the "Morganville Series". The book is very tempting, and pushes you to wanting more. There are many secrets rooming around, just dying to get out. Its a very mysterious book, with adventure,trust, love, friendship, and what their willing to sacrafic for one another.

"Dead Girls Dance" is such a random tiltle for the book, it only holds one scene where their at a dance. The words behind the title are, sacrafic, danger, and always trouble.

It might be too much danger for me but its probably a journey in life i would like to experiance.

Assignment #7

Jealousy is simply and clearly the fear that you do not have value.

Jealousy scans for evidence to prove the point - that others will be preferred and rewarded more than you.

There is only one alternative - self-value. If you cannot love yourself, you will not believe that you are loved.

You will always think it's a mistake or luck. Take your eyes off others and turn the scanner within.

Find the seeds of your jealousy, clear the old voices and experiences.

Put all the energy into building your personal and emotional security. Then you will be the one others envy, and you can remember the pain and reach out to them.

(Jennifer James)

What the quote holds behind its outer shell is, Jealousy is stupid. It has not value, its worth nothing; to no one. Anyone holding it is, unwanted; in my eyes. It’s something that you will have and will regret once you think about it. We cant help it; everyone has been jealous at least once, and we all know its wrong. It’s a feeling we experience, when we aren’t happy with what we have. While being jealous, you forget what you truly have and what you should be treasuring.

We search for what we don’t have, which is what we want, not what we need. You forget what’s most valuable, and pass on it, to get what you desire. When doing so, it will come back, worth nothing to you but worth a million to someone else.

Once you are in too deep in the bad habit, the only way out is, self-value which is, self love. If you don’t think you are being loved, you wont love anyone, let alone yourself. Practice. Better done slowly, than not being done at all.

What has come to find you, your mind will think its not because of a good deed that you once did, but because you think it was just something that came into path; without reasoning. You have to focus inside, within your heart, and be jealous of yourself. Appreciate what you hold deep in you, and don’t let it go. Be jealous of yourself and ONLY yourself.

Be deep, go deep, and find your old self; before the mistakes. Forget the bad times, and remember; always remember the amazing memories, you shared with others and/or yourself. Erase those who once told you other wise and listen to your heart. Love, the love you share.

Revise your mind, and focus on you. Cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh, but suffice your emotions. Love and be loved, use that love to help others. Others that are going through what you went through, help them love themselves.

I’ve been through a lot, and I have come to realize, that I can not letting any of that hold be back. I love the ones who love me, and anyone new wanting to come into my circle are welcomed. I don’t take things for granted anymore; I know that use to but I double think everything now.

I share my feelings but I’m very closed when it comes to that one love. I’m cautious. We all have lessons that are to be learned, and followed. I appreciate life, and everyone that’s in it.

"Look at life through lense, and remember those memories like a photograph."

Book Report: "Glass House"

The book I chose to read was, Glass House from The Morganville Series. It was recommended to me by my friend, Yanitzel. The book was very tasteful, and in the end I was wanting more. The main characters are Clair Danvers, Michael Glass, Shane Collins, and Eve Ross. They’re close friends living in a town named, Morganville, in Texas. They face a life full of risks and danger because the small town holds a dark secret..

My reasoning for choosing the book is because its full of adventure. It holds love, but mostly it has surprise. They take risks, as friends they protect each other from bad. It has many lessons to be learned, many lessons that can help in life daily. What I learned was, not everything seems to be the way its being put out to show. Everyone has a secret; a secret that’s not meant to be out in the world. Trust is key. No trust, no friendship, means no reality. Friendship cant be labeled as friendship, if its all based on lies. Only trust who you love, and always watch your back. Those are the key openings to staying alive in Morganville. Why? Because the town is full of vampires, who run the town.

Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer and always watch out for anything unusual. That’s Clair’s, Shane’s, Michael’s, and Eve’s strategies.

I’m into books which show courage, reality, strength, with life lessons. With a little love to tie it all together.

The beginning of the series, where every character is introduced, and the story becomes unravel is always the best. The book is always more complicated than it seems, its one that I would recommend. My favorite book of all time.
