....So Much Is Wrong With America...

Ok wow. So... where to start? Alright i tried to email Jay and i realized that what's done is done...He wants his money back and i don't have any money to give to him since we're going through extremely bad financial issues right now and I'm sorry if it's more important that we pay the bills on our one income. Note: This is the last time i'll be using names on my blog. Every time i type someone's name i get this dinging noise in my head like DONT DO THAT and i don't know why but that whole subject is officially done with. I poured my heart out to him and now I'm embarrassed i bothered to.  Let's move on, shall we? Ok i need a topic that's school friendly for a persuasive essay. And so i was looking and i found a lot. Vrai is thinking about doing abortion and she found this website. We're both a bit afraid to click the link.  The Silent Scream. I'm going to make this into a challenge. Is anyone brave enough to click this for Vrai? It came with this warning. "WARNING: The Silent Scream website graphically shows an abortion 11 weeks after conception and should not be viewed by children." But besides that, so many topics came up and i really found myself questioning today's society. Like hunting for sport. What, may i ask, is so sporting and enjoyable about walking around with a gun and shooting living, breathing animals for no apparent reason. It's disgusting behavior, especially for a "mature" adult. It's selfish to actually shoot and kill an animal with a life and a family for your own amusement. I mean come on. Go buy a video game and shoot some aliens but leave our animals alone. And I'm disgusted with our country for actually HANDING OUT HUNTING LICENSEES AND ALLOWING THIS TO BE LEGAL. Another thing is how today seems to be fortifying and containing American's right to their individuality. Especially children. In school, we're not even allowed to discuss the presidential election with our social studies teachers. What the hell good are social studies teachers then? Giving out your own political opinion always makes political lessons seem more interesting; less like lessons and more like arguments or discussions where the teacher and the student are seen as equals. Is that why the Department of Education and the principals of our schools have such a big thing against even letting the teachers mention who they voted for in passing? Adolescents are sadly underestimated and it's because of undereducated, uncaring teens that give the few of us who are hardworking, independent American teens bad reputations. And instead of bothering to separate those first and second categories, junior high-schools treat us like toddlers. I have never heard a more demeaning set of words then "Silent Lunch". Who does he think he is walking around and telling us we have to be quiet? Well you know what? Bite me. Being silent during my lunch period while you rant into your little microphone is not going to increase my intelligence nor will it help me to grow more mature. In school, we should be taught to stand up for our beliefs, not sit down and be quiet and let people, no matter who they are, walk all over you. I'm thoroughly disappointed in New York as of now.
