In my life, I am in general, a sheep. I do not like to stick out, and my favorite place to be is standing away from the crowds with my best friend. Because of that, it was very difficult when I found out there was one issue I disagreed with all my friends about. Abortion.
For starters, I am only 14 but if I was 18, I would rushing my butt to the voting booths to vote for Obama. I honestly don’t know much about the economy, so I’m not going to act like I am. I do, however, have very

With each breath I take,
The walls close in.
With each step I take,
The lights grow dim.
A deep breath in,

The blood begins to slow,
And the demons start to laugh.
I soon realize I've fallen,
Into their trap.
But I guess it's,
Just another relapse...

The force on top of me was becoming heavier by the second. Then I heard it the dying whisper desperately trying to call me. It was her.
It all began on an early Monday morning. I was awoken by the sudden sound of “Titter tattering” on my roof. “The rain has finally arrived

How many girls want to look like bathing suit models? How many boys want to be fully flexed 6’4 bad boys. Well a lot of teens girls are becoming emaciated, due to the extraordinary emphasis on thinness we praise in society. This all being announced, there seems but little hope for the changes in magazine covers. But there may be some hope.

Throughout history, the United States is the only country that has used the atomic bomb. The intensity of the damage was something that the world had never seen before. Luckily, the rest of the world had never learned from the United State's mistake, and no other nuclear weapons have never been used. However, North Korea is now threatening us with with their nuclear arsenal. I believe that this should be a more important issue than what the United States is making of it. In the past, North Kore

As North Korea increases its hostility, a fog of uneasiness has been spreading throughout the United States. Throughout the years, Americans have been charged for illegal entry and sentenced to excessive years of labor. They’ve arrested tourists and journalists for alleged illegal entry and “hostile acts.” It took no less than former presidents to coax North Korea into letting go of their hostages.
It’s this air of mystery that is so intimidating. No one knows the real conditions in Nor

Recently in Boston, two men went on a killing spree. A total of four people lost their lives and almost 200 people were injured by the Tsarnaev brothers, radical Muslim extremists from Chechnya, when they detonated two bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. These two men changed the lives of hundreds of people both directly and indirectly; and with such ease. While one of the brothers was killed and the other was eventually taken into custody by law enforcement

No Means No


Ever since I walked among the shiny wood floors of Valleybrook Preschool at the age of three, I've been told by varying adults, "no means no." Ever since I walked among the white glossed-over floors of Timber Lane Elementary School at the age of five, I've been told that any variation of kicking or screaming or punching means no. Ever since I walked by the overcrowded rows of lockers at Luther Jackson Middle School at the age of twelve, I knew that when someo
