This year...

My first year at high school, well it went a lot better than I planned for at the beginning. This year was actually pretty fun. Except for all the homework and projects I had to finish and turn in. But overall this year has been a great year for me and I am looking forward to next year. That's a little weird to hear from me. The reason why I like this year so much was because I met new people, one of which is now my best friend. But I did meet new people, got closer to some I've lost contact with, and got to know some people who I knew, but then again, I didn't know at the same time. I really enjoyed the Freshman Academy. That really helped me learn how to be more responsible and more interested in some subject that I found boring in the past. This year was a fantastic year because of those reasons and I hope next year will be the same. There are so many things I'm looking forward to next year... Meeting more people and having new teachers. I'm not trying to say I don't like the ones I have now, but it will be nice to have a change. Hopefully the teachers next year are as nice and outgoing as these ones were. And I also like the school in general. It's a fun place to be and everyone, well not everyone, but a lot of people are really nice here. They haven't bullied one freshman yet. They make jokes, but they haven't full on bullied someone. So I have the best hopes for next year to be as great as this one was.

Animal farm?

Why do the animals dream of a different life when they don't think about the possible outcomes? All they think about is the possibilities of what might happen to them without Jones on the farm with them. Little did they know that they were in for a hard time. And yet they still think that they have a better life without him. The same is with people too. Most people think that if they don't have an authority figure to roll model for them that they would be better of in life than with a "teacher" to teach them. Teens do it the most.

Why do the "animals", in the book Animal Farm, want to rebel?

Well, in the book Animal Farm, the animals want to rebel against the farmer because they feel that they are being mistreated and that they would have a better life with out the farmer. In fact, they think that if there were no humans in the world, they would have a much better life. Like the animals on the farm, kids and or adults think the same way towards one another. Such as when the child feels like the parents don't ever care about them and just care about themselves so they feel left out or when the parent or adult think the child has no respect for them as a person. Most people feel that way at one time or another. But they must think of the possible outcomes. There could be good or bad outcomes. There are many possibilities in that situation though. Many just state that they are right and others are wrong so they should just trust their word on that when it isn't even truthful.

What is power?

Power comes in many different forms. There can be government power to just plain power over a sibling. Some people might have more known power. Power, well its known to bring people up as an over-achiever or bring them down... Dramatically. Most of the people in the United States know how power can seriously effect all people. But power just doesn't have to come in the form that people can manipulate, it also comes in objects that can make a difference in a person's life. Such as, maybe and iPod. People that listen to music love the iPod. It stores their favorite music and they would probably be really sad if they lost it or broke it. Besides that, I'm going to discuss teen power in school. Many want power or popularity. It makes them feel better about themselves but there is a down side to being powerful. If you mess up or do something that the less powerful people think is wrong, you might be knocked down from your status. The more popular someone gets, the more likely they will be talked about in good or bad ways. It just depends on the person.

Bullying

Most people wonder why others bully others. Most say it’s for the fun of it, others say it’s because they just don’t like that certain person. But the main reason for bullying is that the bullies are insecure of their selves.
There are no specific reasons for bullies and there aren’t fully explanations either. So some people think that the reason for bullying is for the fun of it. Sure that person might get entertainment from that incident. But they really never think about how that will affect that other person either. It’s sad to see someone die over bullying and the more bullies bully for the fun of it, it just gets worse. The other reason for bullying is that the bully just doesn’t like that person. Well that doesn’t give them permission to bully that certain person. Especially if the bully doesn’t even know the person they are bullying. Like, if the bully has only seen that person and made a judgment of that person already before they even knew who they were.
The main reason for bullying is that the bully is insecure about themselves. They think they had no other way to be respected by others. They feel that the only way for people to like them is through bullying. But that isn’t the answer. Find people like you, who will understand you and listen to you problems. They will listen and care for you so you don’t have to bring someone else down for your flaws and yes everybody has flaws. Even the “popular people” have flaws.
No one should be insecure of their selves and result in bullying. That’s why the main reason for bullying is that the bully is insecure of themselves one way or another. They need to accept who they are and where they come from and if they think that they need to bully others, they are wrong for doing it.
