Selena Gomez

So this is obviously gonna be about Selena Gomez. Mostly about the hate she's getting. People, just because she's famous doesn't mean she doesn't have feelings!!! She's only Human, just like all of us! She could be a lot worse but do you hatred realize how much she gives back???? She loves all of her fans and unlike a lot of other singers, she's staying good. im not hating on anyone but at her age, Brittany spears was starting to go down the bad path. Her and miley cyrus are the same age and Miley is..... well i dont really know how to explain it. look at her pictures! Miley took all of these pictures that got leaked. Selena never did that. Neither did demi lovato! Her and Demi lovato stayed good. well, Demi cut and went to rehab for anorexia but that was because of bullies. anyway, the point is, she doesnt deserve this hate. and you know the main reason she's getting tons of hate right now? Because she's dating Justin Bieber.
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?!?!?!! If you're really Justin's fan, you'll let them be happy. i wasnt to crazy about them dating at first either but i never hated on them! stop making hate pages on facebook and twitter! Stop calling her 'Slutlena Homez' 'Selena Slutmez' and 'Selena homez' SHE READS ALL OF THIS STUFF!!!!!!!!! she said in interviews that she is to avoid haters but it doesnt alway work. i realize not everyone is haters. but if you are, just listen. How would you feel if millions of people that you didnt even know hated you for no reason? It would hurt wouldnt it?? And it hurts her. Just because she's a celebrity doesnt mean she doesnt have feelings. She's not made of stone! She actually reads comments on her twitter and facebook. She gets threats from haters over her twitter for the stupidest reasons. She got tons of death threats when she started dating justin. guys, please just think before you say something!!!! all haters are technically cyberbullying her (if they send her messages on twitter/facebook) and other haters are just bullying in general. just think about this. Would you like to be treated this way? No!!! So treat her the way you would want to be treated. WITH RESPECT!!!!

Seniors last day=TONS OF TEARS!!!

Some of you can probably relate to this! Today was the seniors last day. In choir we were all taking pictures with them. But then one of them starts sobbing. Then another. Soon, another is. These three girls I got super close to and now they're leaving!!! So when I went over to one of them, I have her a huge hug. And she's sobbing so naturally I started crying a little. I'm in my personal finance class and still fighting back tears. I'm gonna miss them all sooooooo much!!!!!!!!! :,( this sucks. I got two videos in choir of one of the seniors playing the piano and the rest of the seniors (plus me and another friend) were all singing 'Lean of me' then another of two seniors who are best friends singing 'never alone' yeah. More tears. Choir was rough today. At lunch I texted my mom and go '5 ppl just asked me why I'm crying! The seniors are leaving! :,(" and my mom just said 'I'm so sorry! I love you' basically what moms say. I'LL MISS YOU SENIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 MHS CONCERT CHOIR LOVES YOU! WE ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE A FAMILY!!!!

Texting and driving: it can wait.

Texting and driving is a huge problem. no one can really deny that. It kills so many people. about a year ago my mom showed me a video on facebook about texting and driving. in the video it showed a girl and two of her friends driving down the freeway. the triver was texting and accidently went into the other lane and caused a three car crash. her two friends died, the driver of one of the other cars died, and the baby of the last car died. i think the parents in the last car died too but im not sure. see? 8 lives were affected by one simple text that shouldnt have been sent in the first place!!!! I made a pledge that when i start driving, i wont text and drive. and whenever my mom or dad or brother take there phones out while they're driving, i say 'give it to me. i'll text/call the person for you.' my parents are gettying better at not texting and driving but my brother isnt really changing at all. even after he saw the pledge i made hung up on my wall. i've told him a story of a girl named Alex Brown who died in a single car crash because of a text. her family Created the Remember Alex Brown foundation and that's where i signed my pledge. i'm going to keep my pledge too. but there are so many kids at my school that dont care and text and drive. they dont care that one simple text can end someone elses life or even there own. people dont get it! Texting and driving is a serious problem that shouldn't even be considered!! Do you want to end your life or someone elses??? do you really? because i dont. if you want to take the pledge i took, go to google and type in 'Remember Alex Brown Foundation' there website will be there and you can find where to take the pledge. i hope one day that R.A.B will come to my school and talk to everone about texting and driving. they could get through to a lot of people. R.A.B is also on facebook, with a link to there website.
Please do me this favor and check out this website. it'll show you exactly how dangerous texting and driving is. Dnt txt N drv!!

heres there website http://www.rememberalexbrownfoundation.org/

May 21st: LOAD OF CRAP!

Alright, im in my personal financial literacy class right now (we're in the computer lab but our stock website is down so im on here waiting for it to come back up. lol) and EVERYONE is talking about how the world will 'end' tomorrow. heres the deal.
THE WORLD WILL NOT END!!!!!!!!!
No on knows when the world is gonna end!!!Only God knows! And besides, even if the rapture happens tomorrow, it only means that all born again people will be taken up to Heaven. and then there will be '7 years of peace' with the anti Christ.
So the whole rumor about May 21st is a load of crap!!! it's actually making me anghry that so many people believe it. Because even if God does rapture us tomorrow, not everyone will go up. the rest of the world will be down here on earth for 7 more years of what they think of as peace.
i apologize if people think this is to harsh, but seriously. Where do they come up with this crap???? people are still freaking out about 2011. again, that wont happen!!!!

General Hospital brought my attention to a really important subject pt2 'Alcoholism'

Here's part two of subjects that General hospital brought my attention to. Todays subject is alcohol.
Lucky talks to his dad about drinking.
Right now, One of the story lines going on in the show (soap operas have like, five different ones at a time) is, one of the main characters Lucky, his son was hit by a car on accident. And after two episodes, they found out his own father was the driver. Now it was an accident, but lucky had noticed his dad had a few drink that night. So he asked if he was drunk. His dad became in denial saying, "I'm not an alcoholic! I only had two drinks! I wasn't drunk!" and when his dad found out he was the driver, he freaked out and kept drinking and drinking and drinking!! He went like, two weeks (episode wise) drinking the entire time. He was stone cold drunk!! Now, i know how in the bible it says, 'drink to get rid of a heavy heart" but he really went overboard. not only was he drinking so much, but he became suicidal. he owns a casino, which is where he spends most of his time to drink, and he was throwing all of his alcoholic drinks everywhere, drentching the place with alcohol. then he poured gasoline everywhere and was gonna set the place ablaze! he would have if his daughter hadnt come in on time.
    So Lucky's family set up an intervention. they all told him how his alcohol was affecting them and what they would do if he didnt accept treatment. even tho they all said that if he didnt accept treatment, there would be no further contact, he still refuses to accept treatment.
   Alcoholism is a serious issue. Now, my dad is a marine so he does drink alot when hes with his marine friends. but thats only about 4/5 times a year. So those days i dont care if he drinks because i know it wont get bad, and i honestly dont care if he has a drink with dinner or during a movie. but he knows his limits.
   How ever, there are a lot of people who dont know there limits. there are so many people who are alcoholics and cause them to do really stupid things. Most teenagers think drinking is sooooooo cool.  well NEWS FLASH PEOPLE!!!!!!!! its not!!! Drinking is a serious problem with our country. My brother has a few 'friends' who all got busted for drinking in the woods underage. underage drinking causes car accidents which is the most common death for people between 15-20 years old. more then 5,000 drivers UNDER 21 were arrested last year for underage drinking. and the numbers keep on rising. Parents can give there teenager drinks in there own home, which is what my dad does with my bro. my bro asks him if he can have a drink with him and they stay in the living room and talk while having a drink. THATS OKAY!!!! as long as the parent doesnt let there teenager out of the house after a drink.
  Alcohol can kill you eventually. It can mess up your mind. it can cause a drug addiction. yes, alcohol IS a drug! theres no cure for alcoholism. it can destroy your liver.  it can get you into trouble, obviously. it can hurt your heart. (this is one of the reasons i dont drink. my heart is already messed up and i dont wanna mess it up further) For girls, if your drink while pregnant, your child can be affected by it. my friends mom drank while she was pregnant with her and now her legs are messed up. Every five seconds, a teenager has a drug or alcohol related car accident.12,000 young americans die from underage drinking and driving. Alcohol makes you act stupid and the worst thing is IT CAN KILL YOU!!!!!!!! (YES, I ALREADY MENTIONED THIS BUT I DONT CARE. ITS IMPORTANT!!!) 3 people in america alone die every day from alcohol overdoses.
    Now, do you really wanna risk these things happening to you or someone you love?? is it really worth it? just think about the facts i just wrote. drinking is NOT worth it!!!

Galations 2:20

'I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer i who lives but Christ lives within me........"

This verse defines me perfectly. I accepted God when i was 4 years old, but i didnt find this verse until 7th grade.  Basically what it means is, once you give you life to God, you are no longer living alone. Christ lives in your heart forever and always. And once you accept Christ, he will never abandon you. You may stray away from him, but he'll always be with you. You live by Faith and the son of God. Because he loves you and he gave himself for you! God truely loves you, no matter what you may think. Its your choice to believe in him or not, im just telling you what i believe. this verse has made a very big impact on my life. I love it and its the verse i live by, besides Jeremiah 29:11.  its a very inspiring verse and i hope you enjoy it!

Sorry this post is short, i've got a slight headache.

Osama Bin Laden's death

When I found out Osama bin Laden was finally killed, I couldn't help but be relieved. Most of the world are only happy about his death because he was the terrorist that ordered the attack on 9/11. But for me and my family, it's much more. My dad is a retired marine and served in Iraq 3 times. His 3rd time, on Feburary 26,2005 he, and two other marines were driving down the road in their humvee in Iraq. Hi gunner was obviously working the gun and the other marine was driving. But my dads humvee, hit an IED(roadside bomb) Osama Bin Laden sent someone to plant those IED's!!!!!!! And because of Osama Bin Laden, my dads gunner was killed! And my dad almost died along with his gunner! So when we found out Osmama was killed, I was so unbelievably relieved. But when I got to school, kids were making jokes about Osama and how he died. I just blew it off. But then I got home and was watching the news with my parents. The parents of my dads gunner were on the news, talking about Osama bin Laden's death. We expected them to be super happy that he wouldn't be hurting anyone else ever again. But that wasn't the case at all. Yes, they were relieved but they were disappointed that Americans were celebrating Osama's death. The gunners dad said, quote "if we are celebrating the death of this man, then we are no better then he is" and he's right. Did he get what he deserved? Yes. He mass murdered millions. His death is being compared to Hitlers!! But, if you think about it, if we run around chanting "USA USA USA USA USA USA!!!!!! OSAMA'S DEAD!!!" the. We are no better then Osama bin laden himself. Yes, I'm very proud to be an American, but I'm defiantly not proud of the way most Americans are acting about this. I feel sorry for Osama because even tho his actions almost killed my father, Osama is the one who is burning in He'll for the rest of eternity. Americans, please don't celebrate this death. Because this death has just put us in further danger. Osama's people are not happy and very soon someone will be taking his place. And I don't want this country attacked again.
God Bless America!!!!

General Hospital brought my attention to a very important subject pt 1

 Alright, so this is basically one of my favorite shows. Yes its a soap opera but thats why i like it. its so dramatic! Plus, it brings your attention to very important subjects. Like it did to me, for a few subjects. but i'll post those later.
Kristina and her mother
i've been on youtube for a couple hours, on and off. i was watching clips of different episodes that i have missed. and cuz its a soap opera, it only shows the same episode about 3 times. the day it airs, that night, and that sunday. so i was just getting caught up on some of the episodes that aired a LONGGGGGGGGGGGG time ago.
          In the clips of the episode i was watching, a girl named Kristina, the daughter of one of the main characters, Sonny Corinthos, was in a bad relationship. Sonny's daughter, Kristina ended up in the hospital after her boyfriend beat her up. She had gone to a casino, owned by her dads friend to meet someone there and the guy she was meeting, yelled at her saying that she was way to young for him and she was to young to be in the casino. now, he was only yelling, he gently took her arm so she understood what he was saying and then she left. Her sister found her at another restaurant and talked to her. her sister saw a bruise on her arm and said, 'i've been through abuse now who grabbed you?" and Kristina told her it was the guy who threw her out of the casino. So her older sister took her home and talked to her for a little bit, then left to go to the casino to talk to the guy Kristina claimed grabbed her. Then her boyfriend got there and she let him in and he started yelling at her for canceling on him for this important party that he had been invited to from guys at Harvard. Then he just started to hit her! He got scared and went "you see what you made me do? why do just  have to make me so mad?!" and he left. not to long after he left, did the guy from the casino, Ethan come over to talk. He found her on the ground and went to help her, and she swung her arm at him because she was afraid it was her boyfriend. He took her to the hospital and the doctors called her mom and her dad.
Kristina and her Father Sonny
         When asked who did this to her, she blamed Ethan. The reason she blamed him, was because she was afraid that her father would kill her boyfriend if he found out. She still thought her boyfriend loved her, even tho he nearly killed her. a few weeks after she was released from the hospital, she dropped the charges on the Ethan. But her half brother, who was investigating the case, began to suspect ,along with the other cop on the case and her aunt, that her boyfriend was the true attacker. Her half brother told her that if she dropped the charges, her attacker was likely to attack again. But she dropped the charges anyway. sure enough a day or two later (not sure, never saw the episodes actually air) her boyfriend showed up telling her to reinstate the charges. She realized that she had been wrong in blaming Ethan and refused, so her boyfriend beat her up again. he ran out of the house, the same time her mom was walking up the driveway. Her half brother talked to her after she woke up and asked her if it was her boyfriend. and she trusted him enough to tell the truth and explained it had been her boyfriend the entire time.
Kristina tells her Half Brother Dante who attacked her

now, theres a point to this, i promise!!!!

The point is, if you or someone you know is in an abusive relationship, dont be afraid to tell someone. I know someone who was abused. actually, i know a few. Luckily they were all saved. but thats not the case with others. some people are killed from there abusers. weather its their, gf, bf or even there parents or family members. No matter what you do wrong, no one should ever lay there hands on you! i've promised my parents that if a guy ever hits me or anything like that, i'll break up with him and NEVER give him a second chance. im not asking you people to promise me, but i want you to consider this. guys too!!  If you or someone you know are in a abusive relationship, im literally begging you, tell someone!!! Show them this blog!!! Let them know that whats happening to them is not okay! and to get help! because you never know, one day, it might be to late. and if you think you may be in a  abusive relationship, go to this website.
