Gun Violence

Gun violence to me is so unnecessary. It's dangerous--it's effecting more than just the people in it. The people that the gangbangers are aiming at aren't always the ones that get hit:  anybody in the community is in danger. 

What happened to the days when people would fist fight things out? I’m not saying that that makes it any better...but I'd rather have that then someone getting killed. No one can stop people from getting into it. Arguments come up and conflicts happen, but it shouldn't get to the point where people should want to take another person life.

 One thing that came to my mind as I talk about this is the shooting that happened in Uptown Tuesday November 22nd, and one of them was an Uplift student. It kind of worries me because I work there and the student was around my age. This have you thinking who is really safe? Since I first started this post more shootings have happened in Uptown and I'm just curious when will things better...

Speak Your Mind

My curiosity. Why it that people is are afraid to speak their mind? Why is it that people use others to vouch for them? We were given the rights to say whatever we want and it says it in the 1st amendment. But for some odd reason people can’t do that. Don’t get me wrong there is a time and a place for everything. And there is always a way of saying things without coming off disrespectful. Maybe people are afraid to speak their mind because they find the other person unapproachable. Maybe people use another person because they feel that, that person is brave enough to confront someone else. For me personally all I want is for people to speak their mind. I feel that it is bad to hold grudges.

 1. Its important to speak and listen.
 2. Have communication (Be open).
 3. Have respect for one another.
 4. Things don’t have to be resolved as long as you tried.
 5. Learn to let things go

"We hear only half of what is said to us, understand only half of that, believe only half of that, and remember only half of that."

What do you do when everyones against you?

What do you do when you feel alone?

When people let you down is it their fault?

No. I think not

I think us as indivisuals

Need to take responsibility for our own problems

and stop blaming the next person

learn who to let have your trust

because you most definetly cant trust everyone.

Things might be hard but thats life .

Let knowone control your emotions.

Take life day by day as if it is your LAST.

Do you want to be angry all your life.

I feel personally when I go through things I can turn to this world

and you will never notice that theirs something wrong.

Lets take responsibility!!!
