Believe

Have you ever heard the saying " believe in all and all can be achieved?" its a very powerful and meaningful saying. if you set your mind to anything you believe in than you can acomplish it. dont ever let anyone stand in your way and tell you that you cant. if you really want to, you will. the thing is you have to know and feel it in your heart that you can do it. Dont just tell yourself you can, believe in yourself. i know it can be hard to believe in yourself if others dont believe in you, but if you show everyone that you believe.... they will start to expect great things out of you. im not saying make yourself shine and have high demands to make, just put your heart out and do the things that you want to do. and if you really love it, over time you will reach your goals. another thing to remember is, dont make impossible goals. making a goal that you know is not humanly possible would just be silly and gets you down in the dumps. also, believe in other as you would want them to believe in you. having someone tell you, "you can do it!" can only push you to do it even better. letting someone know what their doing is important and helpful is nice too. just remember to believe in everything. its always good to have a little encouragement in life, may it be yourself or someone else.

Death

Death is another thing that impacts a child life. As a kid many people are most likely going to pass away around you. Some of these people you may not be that close to, others may be very close. The ones that are close to you, will affect your life more. Death can affect kids in many different ways, some don’t feel the pain like others do. Some kids may dwell on the loved one for weeks, months, or even years. You never fully get over the death of a loved one, but you tend to deal with it. I personally know how bad it feels to lose a loved one. My brother and father take death as a way of life, and it doesn’t bother them, When someone they know die’s the move on and deal with life like it never happened. As for my mother and I, we tend to dwell on the deaths. I tend to take death pretty harsh, as any other girl would. Your emotions are toyed with, and you feel pain like you have never felt before. You become physically ill too, nothing is actually wrong with you but the pain makes you actually feel like you are sick. No matter how you take it when someone die’s, death does affect you, and your body. Don’t feel bad if your one that has to cry when bad things happen to you. Also, don’t let people put you down and make you feel worse. How you take things isn’t your fault, its just how your mind functions. don’t be afraid to be who you are with your emotions, chances are they are more people out there like you. you’ll find out your not the only one to take things the way you do.

Best Friends

having a best friend makes everything in life better. you have someone to share stories with and laugh with. make sure you pick good friends though because everyone in your life has an impact on you.

As you grow up you should make as many friends as you possibly can. Every friend is different, because every person is different. All of your friends will mean something different to you. Those special people will bring joy into your life everyday. When I was four years old and in kindergarten, I made a friend, a life long friend. This friend was not of the same sex as me, and that’s ok. We have shared so many stories and lessons with each other in life, and we help each other through everything. Its always good to have friends, because you cant always get through something on your own. Its always good to have some help through the tough times.  Everyone always says that a girl and a guy cannot be friends, well I say they are completely wrong. Just because a girl and a guy are laughing and smiling together, doesn’t mean they have to be dating, it just means they are good friends. Any friend counts, even if it is from a different race, or sex. Don’t let anything stop you from having friends. Just make sure you pick friends that will impact your life in a good way. You don’t want a friend who does bad things, and makes you do the bad things. You make your own decisions in life, and make sure you keep it that way. God made everyone different for a reason, so you have different opinions, and different ways of life. Make your way of life work.

Abusive Relationships

for a year i was in a relationship with a boy who treated me very bad. for the first few months i felt very special and like everything in my life was going good. but what do you know, like always that wasnt true for me. he began to yell at me, hit me, and call me names. he also started cheating on me a lot. for the longest time i felt like that was right and normal. but then it got really bad. things turned for the worse. i was so scared to be alive. i actually wanted to be dead. but as much as i had wished it, it never happened. he continued to hurt me more and more. i guess i finally gave up, one day he actually broke up with me and i was so happy. the bad thing is one of my friends has "fallen in love" with him. i care about her and dont want her to end up feeling the way i did. if your in an abusive relationship, you can always do better, you deserve better. whats happening to you can and will chnage if you make it. show them whos boss. i learned to do it for myself, and i hope every girl out there in this kind of situation will to. you are important and one day you will find the right guy to show you that. If you have tears to let go, then shed them. it will only help you in the end. but get yourself out of every bad situation in life, so you can live for you the way you want to.

Being a Marine sister

my brother has been a marine for almost 2 years now, and im not going to lie i am very proud of him. ever since my brother left nothing has been the same in my house. my parents have started to leave the house a lot to spend time away. they dont like being home because they miss him. but where does this put me? home alone all the time. i hardly ever see my parents, and it really tears me apart. sometimes i feel like im completely invisable to them. i have learned to deal with it in many ways. with my brother being in the war zone over seas, it gets pretty scary. eevry time we get a phone call from base we get scared. we cant wait till he gets home. maybe i will be seen again? i dont want all the attention. thats never what i ask for. i just want to kmow that im important to my family again. i hope everything changes when he gets back home.
