Racing is a sport that not many people like. There is more work that goes into it than any other sport. People say its boring cause all they do is go in circles and make left turns. Well that is not true. Behind the pit wall it is like a whole new world. There are people running to get parts, there is whines of ratchet guns going off everywhere you go, and the constant chatter of people talking to get new ideas. There is never time to stop or slow down.
Racing is a dangerous sport. If you forget a bolt or make one wrong move, it could be yours or somebody else's life you are putting in jeopardy. Racing is the sport of trust, speed, and knowledge. It has been around for over 100 years and started from the moonshine runners in the south.
Nascar has had many people make a difference or change the sport in some way over the years. The safety equipment and rules are new every day. Nascar has lost many great drivers from deadly crashes. Every day there are changes being made on and off the track to protect the drivers and fans.
Most tracks have stirafome blocks behind the cement walls to absorb the impact of a crash so the roll cage and driver take less of a beating. All tracks are required to have safety fences all the way around so if a car gets in the air the car or parts will not injure any fans. A great addition to Nascar was the introduction of the Car Of Tomorrow in 2007. The Car Of Tomorrow is wider and taller than the current race car. The drivers roll cage has been moved back and the driver's seat has moved in towards the center of the car. This provides a larger crumple zone around the driver and will help protect him in a side impact. The exhaust system has been rerouted and designed to keep heat away from the driver. This will help reduce fatigue and prevent some of the blisters and heat exhaustion that happens very often. Another big aspect of the Car Of Tomorrow is the competitive improvements in the design. The Car Of Tomorrow was designed to provide more passing and make the cars less sensitive to other cars.
NASCAR made a number of changes designed to make the cars less aerodynamic. The windshield is now standing up much straighter causing it to catch more wind, increasing drag and slowing the cars. Also the front bumper has been redesigned with a new front splitter to catch the air instead of cut through it. Another competitive feature is the new and larger wing which should increase the stability of the cars and slow them down. This is another feature designed to make the cars punch a larger hole in the air.
The Car Of Tomorrow will be less aerodynamic and will depend less on the wind for its stability. This will help the cars drive better in traffic and will reduce the "aero push" which currently makes it very difficult for cars to pass on the track at speed.

When walking in the dark you notice things. You’re by yourself watching the things that change over night. Like in fall when the leaves that inhabited the trees fall on the streets, where the moon smiles and makes a path of light for you to walk upon. You don’t know exactly where you’re going, all you know is that you just want to belong. In a hope of desperation for you to relax with the cold ,you light a cigarette. The burning tobacco swells inside your lungs. You exhale with a sigh of relief.
In the sky light clouds are painted. Covering the stairs that tingle that nerve in your spine that says I’m home. In the beginning of time humans wanted only to survive but we were too incompetent to understand the small taste of love is the only heat from fire we need. Upon looking at the barren streets were only the leaves that are decaying wishing they had the ability to look at their life one last time and smile with sorrow. But thinking in the way I do, I see the small lines of imperfection in this painting. I see the plague that waits to be fed. Like an infant child crying for it’s mother to come and let it feed off of her body.
This sickness, this disease is our own mistake. A creature we spawned by the names that are etched into our tongues. A monster that should breath smoke and destroy countries. Or maybe there is already a creature like that, that exists. But the famine I speak of is your closest friend and your worst enemy. They know your secrets that you tried to burn . The things that make your heart pump blood with shards of ice. You walk with their footsteps . And sleep with their dreams. Just look in the mirror and you’ll understand what I mean. But the imperfection is what makes everything beautiful in a new lighting.

One thing people don't know but they need to understand would be that, not everybody is the same. Some people are different from others and that some have different attitude or ways of thinking. Everybody see things differently. Like how in this story the doctor doesn't know what to do about it, and his mom dose. So she pulls out the maggot.
I've had personal experience. Well not exactly me, but I've seen on television this guy that went to Brazil, he was in the rain forest with some of his friends. So this guy is bitten by a mosquito on his leg at first it looked like a normal mosquito bite. As time went by it started to get big, when he went back to his home in the United States, the mosquito bite started to get really nasty it was all yellow in the middle then red in the outside it kind of looked like a big pimple.
After a few Weekes puss started to drip out and it really stared to hurt him, he said that every night he would go to sleep he would wake up and his bed would be all wet from the puss it dint matter what would touch it the puss would come out. One day it hurt really badly that he could actually feel the maggot inside his leg moving. He went to the hospital because of the pain. The doctor looked at it and told him that he haven't seen anything like it, and that he should to home and try to keep it clean.
So the guy went home put petroleum jelly to suffocate the maggot and at time it looked like the maggot would try to come out to get some air. His mom would try to get it out with twisters and it would go back in his skin. The second time the same thing would happen then by the third the mom got a good grip on the maggot and finally she pulled it out. That maggot was about an inch long and really fat. The maggot was a fly worm. The whole on his leg was big and still nasty. But as time went by it started healing.

I rarely get ticked off, but when I do it's usually for a couple reasons. When someone talks just way to loud and just keeps talking it really starts irritating me. Even if the person they are talking to are right next to them they still talk loud. That just gets to me and makes me want to tell them something. Another way I get ticked off is when a person thinks they are the best or think they are better than everyone else. Even though some people can't even back up what they say. That just ticks me off and I want to go tell them something. That reminds me of a time where I was at a party. It was pretty cool until this one guy showed up. He thought he was better than anyone in the party. He came up to me trying to punk me, trying to make me go get him a drink. I didn't like that at all and I was already irritated from him, so I had to show what up.

To make the world a more tolerable place, I believe we first have to start with the little things such as apologizing and forgiving. Even if it's just for the little things like eating someone else's last doughnut or bumping into them in the hall way. Apologizing and forgiving can make the difference in someone's day. Their mood, their attitude, towards the people in their lives, and through their daily activity, can be changed. If people really meant and were sincere about the way they said sorry, just about every human would be more polite, calm, and or understanding. Kind of like a domino effect. I know we are all humans and we all have our days of wanting to kick everyone down or wanting to be left alone but at least people would be able to talk things through and get over it. The whole thing with apologizing is that it comes with a packet of relief. The things that drag along when we feel bad can easily dissolve with simple steps to apologize. Even though not everything is forgivable, the way we choose to see the problem will be a little better.

The experience
Every single day from 3:30 to 5:30 after school, Monday through Friday, volleyball takes place. A gym full of teenage, drama absorbing, work out complainers, emotional accidents waiting to happen, is never really something to look forward to on any day unless your suited up with an attitude of "volleyball is what I'm here for, not you," type of deal. Well it just so happens to be that on a dry, cold, long, dragging, never seems to be ending day, I let my guard down. I've never felt such a wanting to sew the lips shut of every person who opened there mouth with words that had no relevance to do with volleyball. I felt as if my mind was slowly getting taken over by the mind set of my mother, easily aggravated and impatient. Throughout about three fourths of the way through practice, I worked so hard to hold my tongue. I needed to get out but there was no way of escaping the drama, ignorance, the non importance of he said she said in a gym filled with the staleness of the cold weather. What was to happen next was not something I knew I cradled within me.
Out of the core of my stomach I yelled out so very loudly, to everyone who was human, to shut up! Then I went on a rant about how no one cares about the stupid problems that won't matter anymore in a couple of days, that's when I started pin pointing the girls, who's voices made me want to rip out there voice boxes and make them eat it. Through the whole rant no one tried to stop me, no one tried to do anything. Long story short, I have never felt so relieved and horrible at the same time. I bursted out crying do to the fact that I was so overwhelmed with everything. At the end of practice, I made an announcement, and all eyes were on me. I could feel the eyes of those who hated, felt sorry for, and agreed with me. As I opened my mouth I started with, I'm sorry to everyone that I hurt and embarrassed, I'm sorry for what had happened.
That was all I said and things seemed to be better. The air around me felt lighter and some of the evil glares turned into a let's just move on type of deal.

What ticks me the most is when people judge by your appearance? People judge you based on your appearance, because it's human nature. Everyone does that, even the ones who don't like when their getting judge too. It is an evolutionary trait, which makes all humans judge based on your appearance. People often tend to do this because they are most likely to be unwise, or they don't know better. We've all heard the saying" Don't judge a book by its cover"! Unfortunately, we do, it's not nice, but we do it anyways. Although most people won't admit it, we're all a little insecure, which leads us to look at people who's clothes are not fashion, or if their hair is all funky. Not because people want to be mean, but because it grabs our attention, to look at something that it's not the same. Some can disagree with what I'm saying, and can either think that people who judge because they are shallow and superficial. These people have different traits and are, more concern about a person's appearance than their inside feelings. This people may only be concern with your appearance which comes to the big question, that's most of us wonder. Would our true friends stick for us for lifetime, or are they just with us because of our appearance, what would happen if I get into a car accident and completely changes my life?
What judging others can teach us about our self's?
By judging others you can learn so much from you.
It's essentially a game of look and judge, look and judge, look and judge.
Sometimes i tend to judge at people without even noticing that my comments can actually harm that other person.
But when I pass a judgment, I feel something inside me die its like a connection is that can be so severed. Each judgment we make is a three-sided wall between us and the other person, us and ourselves and us and the truth.
When we judge others, we highlight our own insecurities, fears and feelings of insufficiency we actually don't feel confident about ourselves. When we judge, we create distance from our Self's by creating distance between "me" and "you". When we judge, we act in rebelliously against the universe and against the moment. Not to mention, our judgments are often inaccurate and actually warp into reality around whatever perspectives we choose to hold.
It's human nature to label and categorize the world. It helps us make sense of things.

What takes me off the most is cheating, and I mean all kind of cheating, especially when people who sits next to you starts to copy your work. Also when you study hard for a quiz and then your partner asks you if they can copy. The time that I remember that I got really mad was when this girl was sitting next to me, and we had to do individual work and at the end of the period I look at her paper and she had the same answers, I got pissed off but I didn't say anything. When the teacher came up to our desk to pick up our papers the girl give me the look and I just walk out. The next day when I got to the class my paper was on my desk and it had a big red F but I had all my answers correct, so I walk to the computer were the teacher was and I asked her way I had a F if all my answers were correct and she told me that I had to chare my A with the girl that I chare my answers. I got so mad that I just walk out the class room.
Cheating offer you a place, grade or person that you want but at the end the truth come out and you lose what you gain. Cheating is so common on people, I mean even if that takes me off sometimes I have to do it. I'm sure that everyone in this planet has done it at least one time. I mean even IB kids do it when it comes to homework's, and that's ok but when they cheat without trying or asking that is just annoying.
Cheating has taken me and some people that I know into many problems like on CSAP. A guy on Mississippi got suspended for two weeks because he had his phone with him and the test, and everyone's test from that school got cancel. Another example that takes me off bad is when this guy never reads the pages that we are supposed to read and this girl that he knows is always explain the book to him and when he has to answer the questions he copies her work and this is every time. He never tries to do his work. Cheating is something that if you do it really often it becomes a habit I know I didn't believe this but when I read it from this article on the internet.
Several years ago my neighbor, told me that her husband was cheating on her, and that she find out because she followed him on her friends car to "his work meting". When her husband's car stopped she was in front of a hotel. He got out and walked in the hotel, she told me that when she walked in she saw him kissing another woman on the lobby "I cried for days, but I never told him that I knew the truth," She told me. Until one day we talk about it and she said that she was tired of waiting and sharing her husband, the next day she grabbed all his belongings and throw them outside and she turn on the sprinklers. When he got home late all his stuff was wet.
Relationship cheating was been increasing these years. Now is way easier to divorce, this means that more families are been destroyed. The part of cheating on a relationship that takes me off is when it comes to lies. The first thing that you ask when you think that your husband/ boyfriend is "Are u cheating on me?" , "Do you see another women?" and the answer that comes out of their mouth is "No" this takes me off because you already find out that they were lying. The worst part of this entire problem is that you saw him with the other one, and after all they lie to you! Probably this sound really girly and all that but if you think about it... I mean come on the person who is cheating at least have some dignity and tell the truth I'm sure if they ask you "are you cheating on me?" is because they have evidence or they saw you. They are not going to ask just because they wake up that morning with that feeling.

So how to make the world a better place it would be cool if we had peace among Races. I got a personal experience for ya. I went into a mall and I took notice of the people which just happen to be mostly blond and skinny people. My aunt and I are brown or Mexican colored she has pink hair I'm dark haired both of us short and plump and by plump I mean we actually enjoy eating. My aunt and I walked into a shoe store and started to try on shoes. I then noticed that every single girl that walked by stared at us like we were aliens from outer space. I swear I was about to scream. HELLO! It's not like we're automatically gang bangers because were brown and we are bout to pull out are gats and pop a cap in you or something like that we just want to try on shoes amazingly not only white people do it. We ended up leaving the place cause we felt uncomfortable be stared at like we were a real diamond necklace in a store window.
Why do people do that? Would they enjoy being stared at like an alien from outer space ha-ha fat chance. I know I've done it before but if I stare at someone it's usually followed by a compliment not a scuff and a flip of the hair or the impulse to spit on that person nor does it have an effect on my upchuck reflexes. I'm not that cruel and unusual.
so if you were to walk up to someone and ask them a question about what they think about racism it would usually go like this "hey whats up." "not much what about you." "nothing so i got a question for you." "ask." "what do u think about racism.""racism sucks i really hate racist people."is that considered being racist against people who are racist. it makes sense if u think about it but i dont know if thats the right conclusion.

There is just one thing that really ticks me off and that is the guys that think that women are just here for house work and to take care of children. Men are not the superior gender; women can do everything a man can. I think I'm a good example of that fact because I race cars and almost everyone that I've talked to about this thinks that racing is just for the boys. Well its not, I go out there every Saturday and race against the guys who think that just because I'm a girl I can't hold my own on the track. "Oh that's cool that you race. I bet you want to be just like your daddy huh?" That is so not the case, I mean sure my dad races too but I'm not doing it because of him I race because it's what I like to do.
The race track is not the only place that is "run" by guys pretty much everywhere you look there is proof that our world is centered on what men think. For example the word history has the word HIS right there in the beginning. I'm not saying that we need to change the word to our-story or anything it's just evidence of how our world thinks and I do not agree with it. When guys act all high and mighty it makes some women feel useless or unappreciated but other women (like me) feel like we should step up and show/prove that we are just as good as the guys. Not all women are as strongly opinionated as I am but that should not stop us from trying to make a difference and change the way the world views women.
Why do guys think they are so much better than us? If there was any way we could switch roles and live a day in each other's shoes, do you think that would put it in to the guys' perspective that women are treated unfairly? I would really like to see what their reactions would be if women treated men half as bad as they treat us. Who knows if it could work but if it did then I bet there would be a lot changes, hopefully for the better.
I had my dad read this yesterday and asked what he thought about it, here is what he said "I think it's good but what I can't figure out is where all your hate comes from. You know that all guys don't act like that and I feel offended that you would write like that."
I do know that all guys don't act like that but there is a good amount that do. My dad is not one of them; he respects women (Not that he has much of a choice being that he has a wife and four daughters). The thing that I don't understand is how he or any other guy could be offended by what I've written? I don't think I implied that every man is a Neanderthal stuck in the "Me man. You woman." Mind set but interpret it how you want. All I'm trying to say is that men and women are and should be treated equal. What you have in your pants doesn't decide if you're better at anything or anyone.

As I was raised in this world, I was taught to not take people for granted. This is what I've learned.
My life has taught me to not take people for granted. People should learn that they shouldn't be "nice" to other people just because they have something you don't. It will turn you into a bad person if your start taking people for granted. Only once, have I taken somebody for granted. Being nice to somebody so they will let you copy their math final isn't the way to go. A lot of people need to understand that they can't depend on someone else all the time.
You can never become independent by depending on someone to always be there. Why would you use somebody just because they have a car? Can't you just take the freakin bus? I didn't think so. You can have a better life if you work for yourself. Work so you can get the better things in life and stop using other people.
When you see one of your friends being used by their boyfriend or girlfriend, you feel like killing that person don't you? They are betraying your friend, somebody that is very close to you, so what are you suppose to tell them? Well, tell them the truth and tell them that their boyfriend/girlfriend is using them! In the end, life will be better.
Recently, one of my closest friends was used. Her boyfriend of 2 weeks, made it clear that he was using her just because she has a car. He said "if you don't pick me up, we are over for good." Obviously, he was using her. A lot of guys are like that, if you haven't noticed. So listen to my favorite quote "Look before you fall." Look who the person really is, before you fall for them.
Another example is my brother used me to just get free food. I had to draw a picture. And I won. Even if the guy is related to you, they will still use you. On the internet, I researched how often people take friends for granted. It's every 1.3 minutes. So, as you can see, don't take people for granted.
So all I'm trying to say is don't use people because it will just get you no where.
My life has taught me to not take people for granted. People should learn that they shouldn't be "nice" to other people just because they have something you don't. It will turn you into a bad person if your start taking people for granted. Only once, have I taken somebody for granted. Being nice to somebody so they will let you copy their math final isn't the way to go. A lot of people need to understand that they can't depend on someone else all the time.
You can never become independent by depending on someone to always be there. Why would you use somebody just because they have a car? Can't you just take the freakin bus? I didn't think so. You can have a better life if you work for yourself. Work so you can get the better things in life and stop using other people.
When you see one of your friends being used by their boyfriend or girlfriend, you feel like killing that person don't you? They are betraying your friend, somebody that is very close to you, so what are you suppose to tell them? Well, tell them the truth and tell them that their boyfriend/girlfriend is using them! In the end, life will be better.

There's one thing that get me ticked off and that is when people take my stuff without asking. I get really get really mad I get as red as a tomato. I remember one time when my sister I was sleeping and my sister took my earrings and necklaces. I was so mad because I couldn't find them I started screaming like crazy. When I found out she had taken them I told if she couldn't ask for them before taking them. She just started crying and told my mom that I told her a lot of bad things but it wasn't true. I got in trouble but she got in more trouble for taking my stuff without asking.
There was also a time when my brother took my iPod. I was tickedoff because I couldn't find it I was looking for it like crazy. I almost started crying because I just had a week with it and I thought I had lost it. But when I seen him with it I started yelling at him. He told me he was sorry but I didn't care. I stopped talking to him for like a week or so.
My question is why do people take others stuff without asking? What does it take to just ask for it? I wonder why they take them that's just like stealing and If they like it so much why don't they get their own? I talked to some people and they connected to what I wrote about. They told me that they also get really mad when people take their stuff without asking. They also start screaming like crazy. You don't know how that person feels until they have done the same to you. I thought it was just me but there are people that get worse than I do.

So fair-weather fans tick me off like people who all of sudden jump on the Rockies band wagon to cheer them on in the play offs. It's like people who support the Yankees but don't know a damn thing about them or even know a player they may know one, but who doesn't know someone like Alex Rodriguez or Derek Jeter. Any ways back to my fair-weather fans its funny how like Boston or New York game can be sold out in the regular season but the only time the Rockies are is when there hot or in the playoffs. Also people who sit there and don't even know what the hell there talking about there just pulling crap put there but too say and say they support the Rockies and what not.
After last night game wow words can't explain how upset I am. Houston Street blew another game how could you do that as a closer a closer. Man that sucks o well what can you do. Houston Street just wanted his season to be over blowing a save in the ninth with 2 damn strikes 2 and gave Ryan Howard a double of the wall then letting the next batter to come up and hitting the game winner wow our season over. Well there was some positives of last night's game we hit the ball very well very well. Especially in the 8th inning Dexter fowler leaping over chase Utley too save outs then Giambi coming up hitting a single then bring in Dexter and Yorvit coming up hitting a double then bringing Todd and Jason in too score which gave us a lead of 4 to 2. Just too see it get token out of their hand to see street blow another save. In the ninth he stroke out the first two walked the next two then got to Ryan Howard had a 2balls 2strikes count then get it hit of the back wall. Bottom of the ninth we had two on two outs for Mr. Troy Tulowitzki he strikes out on a check swing to end the Rockies season. Final score was 5 to 4 Philadelphia Phillies.
After the lost all those suppose Rockies fans bashed on them saying o they suck and there sorry how they make the playoffs and look like this. Then all of sudden they change teams after the fact like o yeah I was going for Philly the whole series Rockies suck. Also I hear stuff like o it was another Rockies lucky season you know how it was in 2007 but luck caught up them and their luck just ran out this time.

There are a lot of things that get me heated and mad but the one thing that pushes me over the limit is the way guys are and the way they treat girls. Guys think they are higher and more powerful than girls and that they can just make girls feel low and not confident about their self. Well reality check that is not how it works. See guys can be messing around with two or more girls and they are "players" and it's cool to do that. But when girls are just talking to more than one guy no matter if they are friends are not we are classified "whores". The way guys can just leave a girl and break their heart like a shattering glass mirror, and walk away and not care. Like there was nothing ever between them. Now that is something that ticks me off.
Why is it guys run when it gets hard but girls are the ones who tough it out and get hurt in the long run? I was with this guy for a whole year (just recent) and when times got tough he ran. At the beginning of our relationship he told me when things start to slip we will fix it. If we were having problems in our relationship we would fix it. Well right now I am at this point where I am stressed about many thing and I'm having some problems, so when it started getting to tough for him what did he do, he left me broken hearted and a body full of pain. But that's not what hurt me the most. It was the fact we were together a year and he told me he loved me and he would be by my side no matter what. But the minute he left he found someone new just like that. It felt like he thought there was never anything between us. But when he came over the next day to give me the phone I was paying for and all the stuff in a box that was at my house that was his, he put the box down and walked to the door. Before he open the door I asked him why he wasn't taken his stuff, he turned around and just looked at me, the look he gave me was like he was lost and just wanted to run but then he wanted to stay. He turned back around and opened that door and walked away.
Why can guys cheat and play girls but girls talk to guy friends though txt message and we are bad girlfriends? That is a question that runs through my head everyday and I can never find the right answer for it. I mean don't get me wrong there are some girls out there that are just as bad as guy but they at least girls give them reasons. My ex would just take my phone and go though it to see what guys I was talking to. The minute you saw a couple guys numbers he would flip out and start calling me a whore all because he saw I was talking to my guy friends. But see he wouldn't take just a couple of mines to go read the conversions we were having. I mean really they were just normal conversions. But when he checked on me his friends were high fiving him saying" what a player. Wish I could roll like you do." And he would sit there and laugh about it with them. Didn't care that I felt used and hurt that he cheated on me, he just cared about that he was getting high fived for it.
I just don't get why guys act the way they do and hurt girls and just simply not care.

Whether you have been wearing the same old black tee for weeks or rock'n your brand new Members Only jacket. Enjoy punk music or country music, like Vans or Nike's, we all have been judged by someone. But why judge? Why label someone without knowing them? Sometimes when I walk down the hallways of Thornton High I notice little groups, separated, not really noticing each other. Sometimes not allowing other people in. I'm not the friendliest person myself, talking to any random individual. I'd probably be a pretty good example of a guy who doesn't care about other people. But this isn't about how people should stop judging each other. It's simply a question asking, why? Maybe if we come up with a question an answer will follow.
Maybe we don't interact with other groups because they don't dress the same as us. I mean I'm wearing my New Religion jeans and my Armani shirt and she's wearing a big ass ICP clown and some red Dickies. I wear my fitted Guess belt and she wears a long string looking belt hanging down the side of her leg. Why do our differences over power our similarities? Because we both like family guy, yell just as loud when the Broncos score a touchdown, smile when a kid is getting in trouble. Why can't we see our similarities but we can see our differences?
Maybe it's because we don't like the same music. While my CD's bump Fabolous, Plies, Jeezy, and everything in between, hers are filled with crazy rock bands I've never heard of. I judge hers saying it's a bunch of offbeat noise and loud screaming, she judges mine saying all rappers rap about the same thing. But if we got to talking, we would find out we both think Atmosphere is a crazy sick rapper and I even like a couple of her Godsmack songs. But we never will have that talk and therefore never will know. So we just keep judging and thinking we have nothing in common.
People don't take the time to investigate. They just take what they see and judge on that. Maybe we have been doing it for so long it's too late to turn back. Or maybe we just don't realize it and when we do, we will make changes. But probably not.

Did I tell you what really ticks me off?
The man always telling us what to do. What the government thinks they can boss around and treat us like crap, take over our lives? Like for example the struggle of healthcare. The government wants full control of our benefits. Also the people don't want government interference. It's my life do I really want a bunch of renkley old suck ups controlling my benefits. I mean the last president the things he did were bull5$^#. He said 'I'll fix this in my time in government' George w bush.
All he successfully did was making the united pits a living hell hole. 'If you really want my opinion I don't think the government should exist.' All they do is take money. They don't give a damn about the American people. 'Why not let the world go anarchy! 'Anyway as a final statements I hate the old men who run our world. Anyway I mean so what's your opinion? One more thing I would like to say is that. Don't let the government take over your life rebel rebel

What ticks me off is a lot of things (kinda), like when someone tells you that you aren't supposed to do something, like when your brother or sister tells you that you are supposed to be doing your chores and not watching TV, or that you aren't doing something right and just that kind of stuff, but the worst part is when you fix your mistake or whatever they were correcting you on and they just keep bugging you about it. Like something that happened to me was when I got into a fight with someone but we sorted it out but two minutes later they were all like "you started it, it's your fault" and then a couple minutes later they will say it again, and again. That really bugs me because it was already settled but they keep bringing it up.
Another thing that ticks me off is when somebody doesn't get their way and then their mood changes and then they start to act stupid. It's like, why do people have to listen to you and do what you want but you can't do what they say? Even though this ticks me off I can think of a time where I acted like this but I think that the people who do it all the time are spoiled brats and need to grow up. I mean it's ok if somebody does this like once in a great while. But I think that a lot of people need to grow up.

Big mouthed people tick me off. Like when you're walking in the halls trying to get around the little groups that gather themselves by their lockers or in the commons and you can't even bother to hear yourself think because all I can hear is that loud mouthed annoying voice in front of me she reminds me of one of those dolls you buy for your kid when you press their hand or foot they never shut up.
Sometimes I just want to tell her "shut up you big mouthed girl nobody care about your drama". Honestly why do people talk so loud? Why would they want everyone to hear their whole conversation? Do they not get enough attention, are they lonely or what because that shit is really irritating. Honestly I don't think people care to hear what others have to say if it has nothing to do with them.
I finally got to the point we're I was feed up with her, so I just did something about it. I saw her at her locker so I just walked up to her I had no intention of doing anything but I just couldn't stop thinking about the last two weeks she's been running her mouth about me. All of a sudden I just slammed her locker shut and just snapped I pushed her up against the wall and went off.
Later that day the dean called me into his office we discussed what happened and how it could affect me. Then he told he was going to call my mother and then he told me I was going to be suspended for the rest of the day.

Don't Always Trust Someone So Quick. I'm The Type of Person Who Gets Attached Way to Fast, I Tend to Believe Lies, Every Single Time. I've Learned That Everyone Is Going to Hurt You at Some Point; Even Your "Best Friends" (Is There Such a Thing As Best Friends?) Those So Called Friends Turn To Screw You Over The Worst! I've Also Learned That If That's What They Want I Will No Longer Try and Make Things Right.
Like This I Thought Things Were Going To Be So Good, I Was Exited To Come Back And See My Friends. Sure The First Couple of Day's Were Great, Then Things Completely Went For the Worst. My Friends Started To Act Shady With Me (Bitchy In A Sort Of Way.) And I Had No Clue Why! They Told Me I Had Changed, I Was Stuck Up, I Guess It's So Easy for People To Blame Others for Their Own Mistakes. But Have They Ever Stopped to Think That Maybe Just Maybe It's Them Who Are To Blame For?
I Have My reasons Why I Can't Trust People Anymore. I Don't Care What Anyone Says. This World Is Basically Surrounded In Lies And I Don't Have To Put Up With that S*** Anymore. One of My Friends, Best Friends, So Close We Called Each Other Best Friends Is Now Going Out With My Ex. No it's Not Jealousy, It Just Bothers Me That She Did That to Me She Knew Everything! Any Friend Knows Better Than To Go Out With A Friends Ex Right? Guess She's Just A Little Bitch and Couldn't Be Straight Forward and Tell Me. I hate them both, they're dead to me.
It Sucks Finding Out Something Like This, I Felt So Betrayed I Wanted to drop to my knees and cry, but at the same time I was so angered I wanted To Scream At Her Ask her Why She Sunk So Low?
"The World Is Based on Trust, if there's no trust you have nothing' something I learned From My Sister.

People who judge, really tick me off. No matter what you're judging a person on it's pathetic! Do you like to be judged? I don't think so! I've been judged and believe I have a good self esteem, but people don't have the right to try to bring me down.
I'm bisexual, gay, whatever you want to call it and people judge me because of it. In middle school I would get made fun of how I walked or how I talked. When I got into a confrontation with this kid about how I was gay, I was going to beat the shit out of him when an undercover cop pulled up. I ended up getting a ticket because I was sticking up for who I am and myself. I'm not saying I didn't deserve the ticket for trying to fight or whatever but it's just the fact of being judged.
When immature kids would judge me it would get to me and I wouldn't be confident or want to be out about being bisexual. But today, I'm glad through everything I've been judged on or talked about it has only influenced me too be stronger and more confident person today and forever, even if I'm being judged!!

What ticks me off the most is,
Fakes: The things that make me mad about fakers is feelings or the fake smiles when they are really thinking you're just a stupid or you're an idiot.
Liars: When people lie about their life or things just to sound cooler.
Backstabbers: People that get information off of you just to go tell everyone else starting drama for you and others. Stuck ups: People that act so much better than everyone else.
Rude People: Who have no respect for anyone but themselves? Also don't care to hurts people's
Feelings. Parents: They are just so bossy and stubborn they can't let me have a life. Also it's always there way or no way.
Example of a fake is once I had a friend that I thought I could trust and tell everything to but, after being friends for awhile it turned out that we like the same guy and started fighting. A few days' later people were starting to find out my secrets and things about me that no one knew. I had got very mad I felt used in some ways. She didn't even seem to care if I was hurt by it. I always did so much for her always and she had to do that to me. But I wasn't going to talk things about her because I wanted people to see she's just a bad friend to have. Why do I get so mad over the littlest things in life? Mostly friends, family and boys but, still? Why is it that I let people get to me to make me mad to such levels? Hmmm honestly I don't know.
People say don't get mad if it's not true but how can you not get mad when people are talking things about you? My advice is just to ignore these immature people. If you just mind what you're doing and ignore them they might give up or even get mad that you're not reacting. Make smart choices with the people you hang out with because, picking the wrong friends might put you in bad positions. To me people just need to get over themselves. I think people pick on other people because of problems in their life or their insecure with the way they are and the way they look. People need to be forgiven and there are people you will forget but you need to stay a strong person and move on new people will show up in your life. These are the things I fallow, these are the little reminders I think of when I get upset or mad. People do come and go, you learn from the bad choices, you pick better friends and you stay a strong person.

A few days' later people were starting to find out my secrets and things about me that no one knew. I had got very mad I felt used in some ways. She didn't even seem to care if I was hurt by it. I always did so much for her always and she had to do that to me. But I wasn't going to talk things about her because I wanted people to see she's just a bad friend to have. Why do I get so mad over the littlest things in life? Mostly friends, family and boys but, still? Why is it that I let people get to me to make me mad to such levels? Hmmm honestly I don't know.
People say don't get mad if it's not true but how can you not get mad when people are talking things about you? My advice is just to ignore these immature people. If you just mind what you're doing and ignore them they might give up or even get mad that you're not reacting. Make smart choices with the people you hang out with because, picking the wrong friends might put you in bad positions. To me people just need to get over themselves. I think people pick on other people because of problems in their life or their insecure with the way they are and the way they look. People need to be forgiven and there are people you will forget but you need to stay a strong person and move on new people will show up in your life. These are the things I fallow, these are the little reminders I think of when I get upset or mad. People do come and go, you learn from the bad choices, you pick better friends and you stay a strong person.

People that try to act hard or try to be somebody their not get me mad because they should just be themselves. Why do people try to be somebody their not? I think that if people be themselves and not try to be somebody their not would help make the world a better place. If people would not hate on what other people have and they don't have would help people get along and there wouldn't be so much hate and crimes in the world. People need to worry about themselves and their family and not about other people and their family. This would make the world a better place.

There are ways we can change the world that no one will ever hit on. People in the world need to treat and be treated equally. No should not be any one on the streets, bagging for food, or money, and no one living without any shelter. Everyone should have some where to go or some kind of shelter to live in. They should have some type of clothes that will cover their body, even if it is not expensive. Someone should provide them food since they cannot provide for themselves.
People need to start respecting people, no fighting, and no talking crap to each other. You don't have to like the person but you have to at least show them some kind of respect. No type of violence. No more gang violence, crews, groups, cliqs, etc... There should be nobody selling guns, or pocket knives, or any kind of weapons that can hurt someone. If they steal, or do any kind of crime they have to be put in guilty, and if proven guilty cannot be proven non-guilty. If they go to jail, they have to go there time they were sentenced.
No bonding anyone out, they did the crime so they have to do the time. No more alcohol, drugs, weed, cocaine, crystal meth, ex, etc... If we have more people doing charity work we can at least change a little part of it. We can start by giving back to people who really need it.
Start having people sign up for organizations, charities, or helping churches. Having people doing this kind of work will help other people want to help. It might not change the world a lot but at least we are helping other people change their lives.
Famous people try to help, but they cannot do it by their self's. Such as Michael Jackson, and Alicia keys. They helped a lot by giving back to charities and places that does not have the opportunity to be like the United States. We do not have as much money as they do but we can start putting together organizations. Michael Jackson made an organization called (HTW) Heal the world. You can donate money no matter how small the donation is, and it goes to people who really need it. If we can take part in something like they have then we can start little by little.

There are a lot of things in this world that tick me off. The thing that ticks me off the most though would have to be when people wake me up. If I'm not up that obviously means I don't want to be up. How would you feel if I woke you up? That's right you` d be ticked too.-
Why is it that when parents or older sibling aunt or uncles are sleeping you have to be quiet. But when it's your turn to sleep they turn up the stereo yell and mess around. What kind of s*** is that! I mean come on we deserve our rest in peace too alright!
One day I was at my older brother's house sleeping in the living room on his couch. When his stupid self thought it`d be hilarious to put ice packs on my back. OMFG! That was cold! I jumped up and threw the ice packs back at him. Yeah that's right I got him good right in the eye ball! Ha ha loser but after our little ice pack fight. I lay back down on the couch and went back to sleep. Not even 20 minutes later my nephew comes crying to me because my niece bit him.
And then once I was at home babysitting my dad's best friend's two little girls (Autumn and Nevaeh) and their cousin Payton. "Yaya gimme dat Payton (Throws play-doh at autumn) they were playing with play-doh. Autumn and Payton start to talk louder and louder. DENISE!!! (My mom sounds so mad). I go to her room she told me to take them outside or to the park because she was trying to sleep. Apparently she's never heard of shutting her damn door.

Substitute teachers
See now it's not that I do not like subs I just don't like those who don't show me respect because I am in that position so often and I just feel as a under achiever at school that when a sub comes in a class room it like they pass judgment on me but they do not see that they do not have the room to judge because they do not know what we have been doing they don't get the right first impression of the so called class clown yes I do play around and don't like to sit down and focus on work but that does not mean I am a disappointment to this world that does not mean I don't want to graduate I just lack the motivation and the determination to sit still and work for someone who don't respect me so I try to do work I try to make school work to my advantages but I lack the sight to see how bombs being dropped on Hiroshima Japan will help me in the future or how to find the circumference of a circle. But the reason I like regular teachers is because they meet you and have time to find the buried smart man under the grimy playfulness of the "slacker"!
I have had many subs but some were cool and 90% of them are disrespectful to me because they don't look deeper then what they see they see the eyes but like a wise man once said you must see what lies behind the eyes. I am a hard working person deep down I just have not met a sub nor teacher that can seem to grasp these skills I have and bring them out! I have a brilliant mind waiting for a moment to come out and surprise everyone but I have yet to learn to bring it out myself. I can see why subs do not "like" me I am their nightmare the slacker kid who does not do work talks disrupts class and longs to argue with them but they are older and more wise they should not try to act there shoe size they should attempt to make it work in their favor. To this day I cannot remember my first grade teacher yet I remember a sub that I had in the first grade his name was Mr. G he was a funny older man with a briefcase full of stickers and cherry laffy taffys that was the motivation to work back then but that is the only memory of a cool sub I have plenty of bad memories
Mrs. Hag she was the type of person that fouled all 5 human senses she looked hideous, smelled disgusting, if you touched her you would consider hacking off your own arm it could be compared to waking up with a ugly girl after a long night of drinking. She was the worst Sub ever... she was the penguin lady wobbling around at 4 foot 5 inches give or take looking in her mid 80'S she was not a sweet old lady she was bitter kind of like a crab apple. She was hated by my peers and despised by me. I was always making jokes about her and always talking shit every chance I got. She had this rule where she would draw a circle on the board and put up to 5 tallies in it and you would have to write an infuriating 50 sentence paper with the sentence "I will respect Mrs. Hag's rules and regulations and be respectful to her. It was dismembering to the state of mind.
We all hated her with the passion of Cain and Able. In my class when she subbed toward the middle of class someone brave enough to express every ones opinion yelled out "You smell like foul putrid puke you penguin lady". Infuriated she flipped a wig tripped out yelling cussing and cursing the classroom with her witchy ways. If it affected her that much she would've remembered what class yelled it but at the end of the hour she asked "was it this class or the last class that yelled Penguin lady". Everyone sweating blades from getting in trouble disregarded the responsibly factor and put the blame on the last class feeling relived we didn't hesitate to enjoy our lunch we acted as if nothing ever happened as we passed around the pig skin the old hag was the last of our worries we were more concerned with winning the game! It was all just a form of respect I use to think money made the world go round now I see it is not money it is respect that makes this beautiful world spin round.

There are many things that tick me but there is one main thing with two problems i hate. The main one is when people follow me and my mom around the store because they think we are stealing. So this is what my mom says out loud, "god I hate it when they do that!" then I say,"yeah they're weird when they do that or maybe they're just perves!' (Ewww lol) then they stop following us after we say that.
Now when I was at my old school it was horrible I'm telling you they were so racist to me. My math teacher would blame me for everything. All I would say to my friend was (hi) then she told me to stop talking. When there are three girls in the front (who happen to be white) that sit right in front of her desk who talk all the time. But do you think she told them anything no.
another thing happen with the same teacher she told me to put my bag on the ground. I told her no its fine where it's at. She then told me to go to the office because I wouldn't follow the rules in her class. Then I got mad and told her this no I am not going first off all you have no rule saying anything about my bag being on the desk and second it's not bothering any one third of all I'm not doing anything wrong. After I told her that she never told me anything. So speak what's on mind!!

There is many things that tick me off but what ticks me off the most is teachers. There are very few teachers that are nice and really take the time to help you out. Last year in my chemistry class I had a teacher who I would always ask for help but she would not help me she would tell me to look in the book and I would find the answer, but that way I learn is by going step by step and that's how I get it but she would tell me to look in the book and that did no good for me, that teacher was the worst out of all of them.
All My other teachers that were bad and didn't help me out would go over what we are learning once and expect me to get it . I would ask them for help and they would help me but most teachers would get mad cause I kept asking the same question on how to get it, so after awhile I would just ask them once and they would explain it to me and I would say that I get it even when I don't cause most of the teachers would get mad and I also didn't want to be holding up the class or from other kids getting help..so teachers is what really ticks me off.

As time moved on from 5 years ago to now, I've learned a lot that I want to teach to you. Now, if you're a homophobe, super Christian, or just plain out close minded, close this window now.
I've lived with 2 gay women for the past 6 years. Before then, I thought that gays were discussing, being raised in an all catholic environment pretty much molded my mind to think that way. But now I want to teach you blog readers that they are people too. They breathe, think, talk, walk, work, and everything a "normal" person does, they just love a person of the same sex. Yeah I'm going to admit that some people are over the top with it, but hey, let them be what they want to be. I'm not taking sides here, so don't think that. I'm just speaking up for those who are hated for what they are.
How would you like it, if some other person that you have never met, never heard of, and he/she goes to your house and eggs it. They break all of your windows, break into your car, and steal from you. How would you like that? You wouldn't. My mom, who is gay, had that happen to her twice. Later she learned that her friend was part of it. She did is because she learned that my mom was gay and she was full blood born-again Christian who was all against gays. She was perfectly okay with my mom until she found that out. See what I mean? That's not right.
I would hear stories from the past about high school kids being beat to death because of their sexualities. Football players would pick up gays, acting like their being friends, and then pull them out of the car, beat him, then leave him in the middle of nowhere to find his own way back home. Those boys were not prosecuted because the Mormon community found them not guilty of any crime. Even when the parents sued, no money was given to the family who lost so much that night.
COME ON!!! Really?? You people need to realize what's happing around you. This s*** that happens affects everyone. Two people that love each other can't even get married because its "not normal". Two people can't openly love another person because as soon as they open their mouth some prick hits them in the face for not being "acceptable". This is the stuff that we need to change in order to make this world a better place. We need to show compassion towards each other, we need to respect each other.

I wonder if teachers like to piss off students or if it's amusing? If it makes them feel better because they have nothing else to do. Do they like to do it? Do parents do it just to have the feeling of being a boss? I don't get it do you?
I mean I know teachers do it because they get irritated with students, Students are just irritating like that they love to tick teachers off and I'm sure the teachers like to piss off the students because they feel big and bossy and probley like the reaction the students give them. I remember last year when I was in my 3rd hour the teacher went off on this kid for using "foul language" all the kid said was "Suck it"(pointing at a sucker.) He was like "Mr. I'm talking about the sucker." But the teacher took offence to it I guess. He gave the guy 4 Wednesday Schools.
You know if it wasn't for teachers trying to act like they own us and can make us do anything because they have that privilege. Maybe we wouldn't get so ticked off and yell at them if they just shut up. I mean they aren't my mother or father. And if it wasn't for students trying to act cool and think they are all that and can do whatever they want maybe teachers wouldn't get pissed off and make the students mad.
Like one time the teacher was acting like they own me right? Wrong the teacher was like "You can't go to the bathroom until I say you can go". So I got ticked off and so I started yelling back "If I have to go pee then I'm going weather you like it or not". I mean really I think I'm old enough to walk myself to the restroom. I might be blonde but I'll be fine. And then all teachers threaten you buy saying "I'm going to call home". Or "I'm giving you Wednesday school." Yeah that's real scary huh. And yes after yelling back at her I did feel better and I thought I was pretty awesome!

There are a lot of things that would make the world a better place but the things that I have learned not only taught me something, but the people around me something too. Help out when you get the chance. Live like you'll die tomorrow but dream like you'll live forever. Never say something that you don't mean. Never make a promise that you can't keep. Be honest. Things would be a lot easier if people were not so materialistic. If people actually took what they have and make it to what they need. If people don't lie, steal, cheat, do drugs/alcohol. Things like that. If people did their responsibilities and what they need to do, and THEN go out and do what they want to. For people to stand up. And do what they think is right. Stand up for what they believe is right BUT without overstepping themselves. People need to understand that life isn't always going to go your way.
Also not to take things for granted. That is one of the worst things that you can do. My personal experience with never take anything for granted is thinking that my grandma would always be there for the next summer and the summer after that. Well I decided to go to Texas to spend the summer with her and my grandpa. After going and coming back when most of the summer was over, she passed away a month later. So never take anything, especially not loved ones for granted.
What makes people in cliques better than the people that aren't in one? What makes them different? Are people really so different that you have to look down on them and up to others? The preps, jocks, geeks, Goths, emos, punk, rockers, brainiacs, losers and the "cool" people. Aren't we all the same? Perfection? Mistakes? What happens when everything comes out looking the same?
Someone in the halls, walking, minding his own business and while walking he was overly judged about his appearance and everything like that. When the people make fun and judging him were just like him when they were freshman.
When you get out in the halls, other schools, out in public, you see people trying to be better than others. And people thinking that what they say is what other people want to hear...even the people that they offend. Just going out in public seeing the things that people do makes you sick.
I went to the store/ mall, and saw a group of people (girls) I think it was. But they were just sitting there judging and saying shit about other people like it was nothing. They were saying how the other people act, dress, walk, talk and stuff like that. It made you sick watching and listening because they made one little girl like cry and run in shame. How could people really be that cruel to others? It makes no sense what-so-ever!
So, now, my question to you is what makes everyone so different? What makes people jealous of others that we have to hurt that person/people? Is it really that necessary for people to really act as childish as they really do?

Why do people think it's so cool to be a total dumbass? When I say dumbass, I mean multiple things. One is fake people that try and act cool by acting stupid. Everyone has talked to, over heard, or just ran into a person like that. It makes me wonder what these people's deals are. Do they do it only for attention? Or are they just born that way? No one will ever know.
I see way to many people, way too many times doing stupid things to try and be cool. One day after hanging out with my friends at the movies we started walking around. When we started walking over a bridge, we looked over and saw three idiots running back and forth on the high way. I looked to me like they were laughing about it and glaring around to see if anyone was watching them. One of these guys ran across the street and almost got pummeled by an oncoming van. I guess its cool now to play real life frogger.
Not everybody likes to just grab people's attention by risking their lives. Some people try to impress people by yelling shit out of a moving vehicle or just talking shit to someone and end up not doing anything when that person gets in their face. I remember seeing this short fat kid talking made shit to everyone all the time. Out of nowhere he started to pick a fight with one of the tallest n beefiest guys in class. All I recall him say was, "just like this tall fagot right here". The dude got up faced the crap talker and threw him out of his seat. That event still didn't stop this kid from talking crap.
I personally think people should just stop with the bs and quit trying to impress everyone. I think it would help also if other people will try to stop judging other people by the way they look because that just fuels the way people strive for people to notice them. Also, people have to stop thinking they need everyone to like them. Not everyone is going to like you that you come by.

Sometimes when my brothers tick me off, I tick them off. How I tick them off is by telling them to get things for. They both get butt hurt when I tell them to get things for me. I get very mad when they really tick off badly. I would say a lot of juke to them that would scare them and will shut them up for about ten second, then it back to the loudness. At they were somewhere else.
I think the only thing that would shut them up is just is when they are playing video game, which they rare do because that my brothers and I would always be playing. That all I can remember and I don't do it that much now. I never like my bad side and don't want to do that to them, but they wouldn't stop being loud and being stupid.
The weird thing is that they are scare of me when I'm tick, but not my brother after me. They are not just scared of him. I might know a reason why that they are not scared of him because he never hit them a lot and yell at them. One thing is that I don't hit them anymore and I only yell at them.

What really ticks me off is that I have to wake up early in the morning to go to school and when I'm in class the teacher makes me do a lot of work, and I can't even concentrate because I'm too sleepy and then the teacher starts bitching to me about it, and I'm like what the f*** why do they make us start school this early if they know that teenagers don't even start functioning right till like 10.00 am and that's even proven scientifically. So they should really do something about this situation.
Also, what really ticks me off it's that we could get in trouble for anything in this school, even for just watching a fight; like on my freshman year, I was walking with my friends back to school when we saw a big crowd and we decided to go see what was going on and there were two guys fighting, and as a teenager it's interesting to watch how others beat the crap out of each other, so we stood there watching until a campus supervisor came and took us to the counseling office to interrogate every single one of us, and of course we said that we were just watching, but they took it all serious and said that we were supposedly "encouraging fighting," even though I told them over and over that were 'just watching,' they still gave every single one of us 3 days of suspension. So I think that school it's getting ridiculously strict these days, because all the teachers try to get you in trouble for everything.
Something that also gets me ticked off is been close to someone who it's really annoying and you just feel like punching him in the face he could shut the f*** up; Once I was in a soccer game and there was a kid in front of me who was just trashing my entire team and he thought he was cool because they didn't do anything about it because our coach wouldn't let them, so he kept talking and talking and then I got rally pissed off and told him that I didn't care if I got in trouble with my coach but if he kept talking s*** about our team I would beat the crap out of him. So eventually he shut up. So what all these writing and thinking made me realize is that the real enemy may not be the others or school but me, you might be thinking that I have issues or something but the truth is that everyone has the same problem, instead of complaining for everything we should just let it go and go on with our lives. It already happened so until someone invents a time machine nothing can be done to change it. So just move on.

Have you ever asked yourself "Why do people judge others without even knowing them just because of how they look?" I don't understand why people walk around judging others, either because of how their dressed or the things they like. "Why do we focus so much on our differences instead of our similarities?" Till this day I have been unable to answer my own question. It might be because we don't take the time to get to know each other and find out about our similarities and we just take what we see. Maybe it's just because of what you wear and the different styles you both have. Why not give each other an opportunity instead of criticizing one another. We really aren't that different, we might have different thoughts but we all have feelings, emotions, and problems in life. Many of us are in the same situation, if it's from mom and dad getting divorced to becoming a new parent, but why don't we focus on our similarities, if we can support, give advice, or just simply learn something new from one another.
A great example would be Michael Jackson; he was weird, ugly, child molester, and bad parent but the funny thing is when he died the world was so hypocritical, people cried who didn't even listen to his music or always thought he was so weird. Now there's so many pictures and videos of him being the most caring and loving parent but yet so many people judged him without even knowing him, and the truth is that none of us really know the real him.
Maybe if we took the time to meet someone new and give them a chance to get to know the real you, the world would be a much more peaceful and better place. So next time you even think about judging someone just think about the similarities you may have in common.

My life taught me not to make fun of things, or others because it could happen to you. People need to know that making fun of people is wrong and they don't know how it feels. Not making fun of others would make the world a better place.
Why do some people make fun others when it isn't right? I don't know but it is stupid because those people who are getting made fun of feels bad and maybe do something that they shouldn't do. If someone is using the restroom at school the store or anywhere be respectful.
I have experienced an embarrassing moment in restrooms and I didn't enjoy it because it was brutal. I just wanted to punch them in their faces.
Study the people in the restrooms like see how they act. Some people act like they don't want any problem, some act as their so cool and make fun of people, and some people goes in real quick and back out.
People trash the restrooms by putting a lot of toilet in the stalls to plug it, and puts gum in the foists, including the door handle bars this leads to school and its budget because it takes time and work to fix the problems.
Who makes fun of people are usually popular and has no respect for nobody except for themselves. Including bullies who makes it harder for everyone.
One of my friends "Bob" went in the restrooms at school then in his own way of making fun of people who are in the stalls he kicks the stalls, and made the people inside feel like dyeing. He told me, and it was disrespectful to me. I stop hanging out with him after the incident.

To make it more just I think the government should decrease taxes and remove the border between Mexico and the U.S. Immigrants should be allowed to go to college. Every time someone breaks a hole in the U.S.-Mexico border wall, it costs about $1,300 to repair. The estimated cost of maintaining the 661-mile (1,058 km) double-layered fence along part of its 2,000-mile (3,000 km) border with Mexico over the next 20 years is $6.5 billion, the GAO report says. If they do decide to remove the wall the government can put that money towards other things that are more necessary.
I think immigrants should be given equal opportunities to get an education just like anyone else. If they are given that opportunity they will have a chance to make something of their life. If they do complete collage then they should be given a chance to be American citizens. This way they can be legalized and get a good education and career. But I also believe that with that liberty it should also come with certain restrictions such if you receive more than 3 felonies on your record your citizenship can be revoked.

One thing that ticksme off is the attendance contracts they give you in high school because if you have them and if you ditch at least one class, you get in school suspension because in school suspension it the most boring thing I have ever done because you have to be working all the time or else you get more days in there, and when they take us to lunch we have to get in a single line beside the wall, and I feel like a damn prisoner.
The other reason I hate the contract is because you have to take a paper to every class so you can get a teacher signature to approve that I went to class and I need to have all seven signatures every day so I think that is stupid, and if it wasn't bad already I have to take it home too and get a signature from my parents.

Religion is the biggest, mysterious contradiction of all things. Why are religions against human nature? How do people find that it makes sense to be in denial of our bodies..? The messiah supposedly could turn water into wine and he was a great healer, then why are they we against magick? Jesus was magical why can't there be such things as paranormal, spirituality & mediums? Its apart of our brains, which we do use it all to function, but how much of our MINDS are we using.
Those people that can hear and see s*** from beyond,they've opened a passage to a part of the mind not everyone can get to, either because they deny belife or can't find it. I strongly believe our ignorance, ethics and beliefs hold us back from becoming more than just a bag of flesh and blood. We have such a high power of thought and by covering our Earth with all this useless material and closing ourselves from spirituality, we cannot obtain our energies. I believe that we should be way more spiritual and actually meditate, being one with the Earth, instead of believing in some man that died for our sins because we continue and continue to sin.
Maybe Christianity and some amount of religions are copycats of a higher "religion" as they so call it. Banishing magick and our Earth are not smart tactics, why can we not see our creator if he 'loves us' as much as it's said? How can we not believe in a spiritual realm in which we can see, talk, and be next to our creator. Why must we believe in something we cannot get to? Unless trying to find it in other ways, which is a belief without Jehovah and his son.

My suspension was absolutely unreasonable, misjudged, b.s. My close friend Felix was at the school Wednesday about to get in a fight with this kid Aj. As I watched from a distance, Aj wrapped his studded belt around his fist in attempt to use it as a weapon. Before anything had happened deans appeared in time for everyone to run. The following morning the same kid kept a constant stare on me, knowing Felix as a close friend of mine. Being the person I am, my pride wouldn't let me just walk by, so I told him he was a pussy for trying to use a weapon on my friend. He then began taunting me saying he'll fight me too.
That's when an administrator arrived to make us go give statements. So I did, wrote it just like that in my statement. Which ended with me getting suspended, and only me. Fair? I think not. I don't understand why me admitting to calling him pussy makes me suspended but telling how he was trying to fight me doesn't count in my statement. Therefore the kid who was going to use a weapon remains at school, yet the one saying he is a pussy for doing it gets punished?
Supposedly I was considered instigating a fight, although he was the only one doing it. So "you are a pussy for trying to use a weapon on my friend" are fight words. Yet, if I said "you are a scaredy cat for trying to use a weapon on my friend" how would that affect it? Or better yet if I said, "you are a pussy for trying to kill my friend" how would that change it? Would they still believe I'm trying to fight him when in fact I'm not? Doubt it.
Then for me to get suspended instead of I.S.S completely blows my mind. They truly think that helps? My mom and I knew it was unreasonable so I got to stay home and do whatever I wanted, not due to lack of discipline, but due to the fact I didn't deserve punishment. Then I came back to very low, hard to get up grades.

I don't like People who lie everyday and there is people who are just bad liars. You know that they're lying and they just try to play it off, making it a bigger lie so it seems like there telling the truth. They just keep on lying, so they can seem they know what they're talking about.
My friend for instance he thinks he knows everything about anything. One day and we were talking about this game called Fable 2 that he beat (I also had the game and beaten it already). He said that the end boss had powers that I never heard of like blowing up you into a million pieces. Then I told him that I had the game and beat it and the boss didn't do any of the stuff you where talking about. He says" I have the limited edition one" I have it to I said and he made a bigger lie saying that "I got the secret edition one" I said wtf there is no such thing (which they didn't make one because they only made regular edition and limited edition).
He just makes the lie bigger and bigger saying that they only came out with one thousand in the United States. I am a game freak and know about games (stupid hobby) especially this one since I only beat it a week ago. He made me angry and I just got really mad and told him why do you like to lie so much! He just says I am not lying it's the truth. I told him lets go look it up on the internet, he just says my mom wants me home and he leaves because he knows that he's lying.

I have learned a lot of things in my life. Something that sticks out to me as being very important is value and respect. I don't see many people learning the meaning of value. I think if people learned to value and respect not only things but people the world would be a better and more exquisite place for everyone. You can't go through life expecting a silver platter handed to you. Do you really want to show the world how snobby and selfish you can be? Or do you want to show them that you value things and respect things? When you don't value things in our life you also take them for granted and a lot of people don't realize that. I don't want to be that type of person that takes things for granted. When you do that you lose people and you lose things that you have. People should always value everything even if they are the littlest things in the world. I've always wondered why people are so selfish. Though I'm not saying that I am perfect because sometimes I am the same way but with everything I have learned it's just wrong. Also there is the topic of respect; value and respect are a lot alike. You can't go through life not respecting people or things either. Respect is also a huge deal in my life because without respect people will never respect you.
So the question is, why value and respect everything you have? Why is it a big deal? I think it's a huge deal in my eyes but maybe that's just me. I have heard this before and it's just my opinion and I don't want to sit here and judge anyone about value and respect. Everyone can base their own opinions and they have every right to do just so. From my own personal experience you need to value what you have. It could be gone in the flash of your eyes and what would you do then.
When I was younger and I lived with my parents before I was adopted, I lived in a trailer home with five kids, and stupid parents who spent their money on the wrong things. The things me and my siblings got we never took for granted and we valued each and every little thing we got. Even after they were sold we still appreciated them. I never wanted to lose what we had. But I guess you never know what you have until it's gone.
My other personal experience is about respect: Since I live with my aunt and she has adopted me. I have lived with her since I was 7 and she has taught me a lot of things about respect. My aunt and I used to fight constantly about everything. I would always put up a fight and scream back and just not care. But with everything she has taught me I learned that I never respected her like I should of. I never did what I was told and I never really cared about anything she said. I used to lie and I realized I lost her respect. It took me almost a year to gain her respect back and it was hard. I never realized how hard it was for her when she took me and my little sister in and how much she cared. Otherwise today I would be in a foster home like I was before I came to live with her. I would be separated and alone. But she changed that for me. Respect is a big thing to me; I think you have to have respect for everything.
When I first got my car. I never had a car before so it was something new to me. I took care of that car and made sure it was spotless and it looked nice. I valued this car more than ever. I knew if I didn't I would eventually lose the car. Since it came from my aunt it was something special. I knew my parents could never afford to buy me a car so I never took my aunt for granted. This car meant a lot to me. But eventually my sister totaled the car and now I'm left with nothing till nov.8. Unlike me my sister could care less about the car. She has not learned the meaning of value and I think it will take her years before she does.
I had a neighbor once who never valued or respected anyone or anything he was not the very nicest person to anyone and he never cared. When he got new things he destroyed them. He didn't respect anyone. When I got my new car he was totally jealous and came to talk to me. He asked me why I got new things and he didn't. I told him that maybe if he learned to respect his mom and took care of the things he had received he would be able to get a new car like me. I eventually talked to his mom and had her test him and see if he would change. One day he had gotten a new dirt bike for his 17th birthday, He valued that bike and took care of it every day he rode it. After that, he respected his mom so much she thanked me for helping him. Steven is still one of my closest friends; He still thanks me sometimes for showing him the true meaning of those things. This is why the world should learn these two things and really appreciate them.

There are many things that could make the world a better place, but if everyone was just to get along and treat others with respect you could have alot less of promblems. I know that some times when others don't show you respect by saying a rude comment or something you don't particular like them doing, It's hard to show respect to people who are disrespectful to you, like when your boss gets mad at you for something you did but are not respectful when they do it's hard to keep your cool and not disrespect back.
In other words its great knowing that your friends respect you and your decisions, but there can be those few friends who will not respect your decision and get and angry because you're not doing what they want you to do, I have had friends who would want me to ditch a class with them and I would say no and they would not respect what I wanted to do and they would bring up the sentence I guess you're not a good friend or would come with me, friends like that are not good they are not the people you would consider being your best friend knowing they don't always show you respect unless you're doing what they want you to do.
Showing respect is a good social skill and every should be comfortable showing it and knowing you'll get it back in return that's what I believe could make the world a better place.

I think that all people are the same and the race does not matter. All people have different feelings, different believes, but everybody is the same because we are all humans. The color of skin in every place of the world wide should not be a problem. Everybody is different for a reason.
Like for example I am a different person then people that live her because I don't spike English very well. People that live her that's why they think I am different but I am not. A lot of people think that we are different but we are not and they are wrong. I could prove all people her that they are wrong because I could get to their skills in English. People should not make fun of anybody because it could happen to them to like for example if see them in Mexico I could make fun of them to or things like that. That's all I know about this things.

What change needs to happen to make the world a better place. There are a lot of things wrong in our world. We say we want change but in reality we don't really do anything about it. Some of the things that are wrong in today's world are hunger, the environment, too much violence, racism, and close minded people. And that is just some examples there are way more problems than that. I think if we really tried or showed some effort our world would be a better place.

Money is a powerful thing in this world. It's pretty much a system that goes around and everyone needs. Sometimes it consumes people and they get left homeless. Or they get money hungry and steal and do whatever they can to get their hands on it. They do whatever is in their power to take what they can get at any cost. While some people are respectable and get a job to earn their money like normal people. But I think that sometimes money is a good thing while sometimes it's bad especially when you don't have it.
Like take your parents for example have you seen them go through financial struggles, or have you yourself gone through those struggles of trying to afford an apartment and all its bills that come with it. Or for instance have you ever gone hungry and you had no money, no food to eat or drink and you don't want to be a hassle on someone and have them feed you. And now day's jobs are getting harder and harder to find which makes people suffer and do things they don't want to do.
And all this happens just so people can have the necessities of life. But at the same time people that have money have everything and also anything they don't want at their hands any time they say. It always seems to be an unfair world that people struggle to thrive in everyday.

Dislikes: People who like to complain about stuff they don't like that others do. Some people should just try to keep their opinion to them selves instead of making a big deal of things you don't like.

A couple things that would make the world a better place would be to kick Dr. Phil to the curb know body likes that guy. And Marilyn Manson the world would definitely be way better off without him.Whats that dudes trip? And why do old people like jeopardy so much, that show is so boring you almost have to be a geezer to understand why that show is so cool?
The best thing of all, why does the government say we have rights but the police don't even care for instants they say if you are a minor [under the age of 18] they supposedly aren't allowed to search you or handcuff you but that happens every time I get pulled over even if I didn't do anything wrong. And why do they always have to have 15 cops just to contain a couple of punk ass little kids. I think the world would be so much of a better place if all these things weren't apart of this world it would make the world a better and I think a more fair place to live.
Thank you for your time.

The thing that ticks me off the most is when I have an "off day." The "off day" for me would be first I would wake up late even though I set my alarm clock the night before I went to bed. So then I missed my bus by a lot of time because my bus takes off at 6:37 a.m. So when my parents hear that I am at home still they get mad because I am late.
Next I would try to get ready but my total overall appearance was not good because you could tell that I'm very tired. Then I would have to walk to school and for me that takes me a little while to get there because it takes me a half an hour to forty five minutes to get to school, and I would get there very late. So late that I'd be late to second period, sometimes not until third period. And to make it worse my tardiness and abscesses would be unexcused. Then when I get to class I find out about all the work I'm getting or all the work I need to make up.

The people in the world need to know that we are all equal and we need to have the same respect for each other.
We also need to be fair to every person in the world, it doesn't mean that just because they are not the same color or they don't came from where you came it doesn't mean that we are going to treat them differently.
I have learned that if you treat other people bad or different they are going to treat you same way.
For example one of my friends was treating bad another girl. Then the other girl said that if she was going to be treating her like that she was going to do the same thing to her. That's why is better to thread people the same way you want to be treated.

I think something that needs to be changed is the school systems hours. Like we have to wake up way too early and be bored for eight strait hours. For example it is 2nd period/8:15 and I'm bored out of my mind. There is a million other things I would rather be doing.
What do you think the school system would be like if the kids didn't have to wake up so early, maybe at nine or ten at least. I'm guessing kids would focus more and they wouldn't mind coming to school as much. Also grades would probably be higher. It is proven that teens succeed more with the more sleep they get.
I think that if school started at nine or ten the hours would be put to better use than kids trying to take a quick nap. Many kids in high school fail their first two periods because they don't wake up early enough. Even if the work is done, their attendance affects them so much the work doesn't matter. A lot of the time I don't wake up early enough so I have to have my attendance suffer because waking up at 5am is way too much. I have soccer to do after school so I'm tired and sore the next day. I think we should pick the days we go to school. Or better yet the hours or we could just block. Or just pick one subject we want to learn and only learn that like in collage. That would be nice.

The thing that tick me off is when I need to researching something twice like when I search about the Mexico killers and I finished to do my work and something failed in my work and I need to go again to the website or the same book to research that work I get mad horrible and I coming to say bad words and something like that, this is one thing that tick me off there are many things that tick me off.
The other thing that tick me off that I hate is when someone tried to change my way to think like my religion or my style or my form to be one day I was cleaning my yard and someone came to me it was a catholic guy he told me something about god I believe in god but he was like retarded because he doesn't stop to talk he said if I believe in god and in the diamond, I told him that I was so busy but he doesn't understand I was cleaning and he was talking I don't hear to him but I think that he doesn't care if I was hear or not but he was talking but he told me if I want to change my religion and if I want to go to his church to see how is the life of god and something like that but I got mad and I told him: I don't care about your religion and I don't care about you so I don't have time to go to your church so bye "ese". He doesn't want to Livet he stayed in front of my home to waiting something or someone but that day I got mad really bad.
There is a lot of things that tick me off, some people told me that I need to take care my life, I don't know why they told me that but I don't care because I didn't saw people who died for that things. This is why I don't like to hear people who want to change your way of think or to research something.

One thing that pisses me off is when people get great ideas about making a new film from a book or an old comic book or cartoon show and they make a movie on it, and completely destroy the movie. Once in a while they will astonish the world and create the dream film of many middle aged people that once saw a show on the movie they are about to watch. Most of the time, the film will disappoint everyone that watches it. They spend so much money on them to try and make the people like them that they lose track of what the original story was about.
The Vampires Assistant is the second book in a series of twelve. Someone in the world decided to make a movie on it. The book tells a really dark and sinister story about a boy who wants to become a vampire's assistant. Unfortunately for the boy he doesn't know that he has to die to the world for him to become what he wants. The movie on the other hand looks like something that Disney would have come up with. Not the evil mind of Darren Shan

A lot of people don't understand math. It's hard, I sometimes don't get it but people need to know it and understand it for their jobs and money. I just thought of math because I was doing my math homework last night and I dint understand it. So that's my personal experience. My question is why do we have to know math anyways??
Well I know we need it for our jobs and to count money but why do we have to know algebra and geometry and all that why can't we just learn simple math? I don't know...? I hate math. Some evidence and examples of math would be some math problems like 2+2=4, y=a+bx, multiplication, addition, subtraction, division, exponents and there's even signs for like parallel lines, perpendicular lines, graphing, etc. so that's why I don't even know why we have to know math besides the simple stuff but I guess it's good haha.

Making the world a better place is one of the most challenging things for us human's to do, we say we want to but we show no action in doing just that. There are so many things in this world that can be improved, little and big, that would change our world today. We just have to realize this is our only earth so we need to do our best to make it everlasting by caring about the people, and the environment!
What's wrong with our world today? Many people believe nothing is wrong while others disagree. We have pollution, poverty, bad economy, crime, and that's not even the half of it! These days the economy is so bad that people are constantly getting laid off. We think the problem is because the president but it's not all cause of him. And this pollution we have... were trying to fix it by using electric cars and such but there so expensive that most people prefer to just use the average car.
The way we treat each other is also another huge problem. People are so rude and some actually believe there better then others.
I am usually a very jolly type of person but not all the time anymore. At school is where I have met some of the rudest people I have ever met. Some of them are lien backstabbers, fakes, drama queens and selfish people. Every day me and my friends will be in the hall way and someone will bump us so hard because there not watching where they're going and they will laugh about it and go on with their day!! That is incredibly annoying!!
Also some other people will not even know your name and they will stare at you and gossip with their friends talking about how they don't like you and etc. Then you have the worst ones...the ones that pretend to care about you and be your friend but when there not hanging out with you there being jealous and bad mouthing you. Another thing that ticks me off is when some girls pretend to not be intelligent to get attention!!

What ticks you off?? There are many things in this world that ticks people off. There are so many people and so many things that tick me off. Well to start off there are so many people in this world that are so rude. There are so many people in this school that are so rude. Let me tell you a story about all the rude kids in this FREAKING school! Well this is the rudest school that I been to, like when you're walking in the hallways people don't even care or watch out where they're going. They just bump right into you all dumb, or if you're talking to one of your friends they just walk right through you. Like my friend Ashley and I were talking in the halls and she was handing me some lip-gloss and this dude just like went through our hands and almost made me drop it, it was so rude. This school is so crowded like you can't even walk around. That's one the things that ticks me off so much is rude people.
Well to talk about rude people in the world, oh gees there is a lot a lot. When I'm driving I hate when people like try to speed up and pass me but I get mad so I don't let them. And I do stuff to tick them off. Like if there is someone like all on my butt than I just drive slower and when the try to pass me I speed up so they can haha they get all mad and flip me off n all this stuff. I love to tick people off I think it is so funny. They get so mad. Now I know why my little sisters LOVE to tick me off, and when they just laugh I get even madder. My sisters are such little brats they go in my room and mess with me just to get me and then they go tell my mom that I did something wrong to they, so I get in trouble. I get so mad at them and want to hit them and if I do I even get in more trouble, so I can't ever do anything to them. They can go in my room, mess with me and not get in trouble.
Another thing that ticks me off is fake people. I hate fake people there such back stabbers. They will be all cool to you face n than go behind you back n talk stuff. That gets me so mad. Why can't they just say it to your face, are they scared of you or something. Umm I don't know!!!! Well let me just tell u something if people do that stuff to you, well don't go up to them and start talking stuff but just don't get on their level. Be above them. FREAKSSSSSS them all don't let it get to you n tick you off.

High school drama is a bitch isn't it? Well I have some things to say about it seeing as how I was it and then I became the victim of it. Alright honestly people that do it are pretty pathetic because they should know by the time high school ends whoever they were than in high school won't matter once they're out. I mean seriously there's always going to be somebody bigger and badder out there. I knew this kid that thought he could walk around do whatever he liked talk however he wanted but one day he went home messed up beyond belief like all he did was go around smoking and drinking and popping pills and one day he talked to his brother the wrong way and started pushing him around let's just say the kid had a fat upper lip bruised and all and almost got a tooth knocked out. That's why I say one day their going to meet somebody that isn't going to take their s***, and show them how it really is in adult life.
Maybe I've been mislead but I'm pretty sure school wasn't meant to socialize and start fights so why should they bother showing up. I know I was negative the last two years but once you mature and look back and look at all your old friends you realize how childish you were then. It's pretty disappointing to see how you were if you do realize it in time.
When you do see it you see why others were always irritated with you because now I see it and go through it is pretty aggravating.
If people didn't feel the need to pick at peoples flaws than there wouldn't have to be so much childish drama, Without all that people would be more free to work stress free. Because usually stress clouds the mind, and hinders peoples thinking and working ability there is no reason for this drama either because it doesn't change anyone's life just causes more hate than anything. Maybe if people soon realized that focusing on the positives of another is the way to go high school or any place for that matter would be a lot smoother, and there would be more graduates and better quality work for everything. It's pretty obvious that when douche bags play the asshole role no one wants to do anything but seek a way to get back at him or her.
I've learned a lot through my sixteen years more than I should do to my stupidity but I learned that in order to have an easy drama free life it is better to mind your own business. Because basically you say something and someone else is always going to twist it and someone always has to get huffy and throw their balls on the table. It's ridiculous that people can't just do it the right mature way and go up to the person's face and ask and see if it's true or not. I should know that finding out for yourself or just not being social helps I've seen improvement with my work and mood.

There are many changes that need to happen to make the world a more just place. People that don't care about the world need to start caring. One thing that needs to change is the police usually cares about things that are not that important. For example if there is a drive by in a house, park, party etc the police takes long to get to the location but if there's a person in a corner or outside their house relaxing the police gets there in less than 5 minutes. That needs to change so the world can me be a more just place.
Other things that need to change are that if you are the kind of the person that throws trash in the streets instead of the trash change that because the world is a very wonderful place and we need to keep it clean so it won't be trashy and dirty. We all need to consider that we need to maintain the world clean to make it a more just place so other people in the future can thank us for keeping the world clean and making it a more just place. Some people think that it's not important to keep the world clean but they are wrong because we need to keep the environment clean the streets etc so other people in the future can realize that we did the best and right thing to keep the world clean and making it a just more place for all of us. We should all help clean the world by doing community service picking up trash so our parks, lakes, rivers etc can clean and healthy for everyone to go have fun.
This connects to the police problem because some officers throw trash in parks or other places just because they are cops does not mean that they could do whatever they want they are just like all of us they need to consider in keeping the world clean and making it a more just place for all of us. I just basically think that the police needs to change to make the world a just more place for all of us.
