Famous vs For Real Deal

          This year's Student Code of Conduct includes new rules ads adjustments from the previous year.  The focus is on positive interactions, a certain expectation for behaviors, new consequences and respect for others.  The revised 2018-2019 Student Code of Conduct has a student bill of rights also including furthers details.  Each city and cities within cities have a Board of Education ran by members.  These members have a Superintendent for the School's Community District.  As a concerned woman with many children she's cared for, helped birth, helped raise, disciplined, and more; I have seen some awful things with our youth at and/or related to schools. The School Board is doing the best they can. Our youth need help from everyone!  We can't allow the things that are happening now, continue to happen.  There are a few questions people had when I was discussing this topic.            There...

    Yes, being a teenager is something different with every generation.  It is also the same in some areas per generation as well.  Parents learn very quickly how to raise a teenager.  The key word is: Challenge.  You knew it would be a challenge as soon as your "sweet baby" turned a teen.  The year 2019 has shown teenagers in a completely new territory.      Social media, video games, music/lyrics, music videos and cable shows take our teens away from the family unit.  The things teenagers are missing would shown them value, education, nature and other important lessons in life.  The ideology of fame and violence has some of our youth in a whole other world.  As I look around and observe people interacting, I'm shocked.  A 10 year old girl, who looked 15 years old and strings for an outfit, would be cursing at her mother.  Grandmothers would be barely walking themselves, while trying to hold on to a screaming...

    The craze going on for women to have the biggest breast and the biggest butt is teaching our children not to be happy with who they are.  Granted, many celebrity women will have their own personal reasons for getting breast and butt augmentations, but is it all worth it?  They achieve stardom only to have their health deteriorate and have fatal consequences.  Not all woman who receive augmentations have problems, but majority do.  I do not have to list the woman with them, because we all see them on a daily basis.  They are on television, on social media, music artists and simply walking around everywhere we go.  The instant gratification they get comes from what others think of them, not what's inside.  The men they attract have one thing in mind......being in a committed relationship and starting a family is rarely, if at all, it.     The additional health risk comes from when a woman goes to another country or a doctor prac...

You have to help yourself before anyone can It's the way we grow, despite how we feel The challenges never stop, so we won't be content with limbo We grow; we don't know, but we still go Pushing, fighting, trying to find an answer Learning to cope with all of life's pressures Limits to what's acceptable, judged by the outer world Loving ourselves has to come before destiny's awkward path Never giving up, enduring sweet enabling moments Helping others while strengthening your personal growth keeps us grounded and moves us closer to winning the game of life

Some things you can do alone Some things you have to so with help from others Some things you are not made to do at all Alone was how you came into this world Help from others led you along the way All that you were not made to do, frustrated you Figure out who you are while you are alone Judgement, joy, pain, trusting, repartee, caring and loving are learned with the help of others The struggles of insignificant destinations to converse with rabble, only to lie in obliteration We, you and I are not made to do everything; just some Other people may have the key to our God-given destiny Listen to the still, calmness that surrounds you when you are alone. ***Something to think about when you feel celebrities have it all                                     Peace & Love

          Wondering why we have homelessness, drug addictions, sexual abuse, incarcerations, hunger and violence in our world today?  Look around!  It's on the news, social media outlets, on every corner, played on the radio, in our schools, on our televisions and everywhere we turn.  The youth today have role models from the strip clubs, gangs, the music industries and prisons.  Very few seek positive role models from educators, doctors, lawyers, researchers, etc..  Why is this?  The negative is being glorified more than any other entity.  People are fighting EVERYWHERE: from the government to the corner store.  The hatred and disrespect amongst cultures, races, genders, government officials and religions has become outrageous.  We are fighting each other instead of helping one another.  It's like the wild, wild west in our world.  The manipulation, jealousy, lies and disregard for human decency has taken...

There is nothing like the sound of a tear-filled rain Every single drop causes more and more pain My heart is weighed heavy on my soul No one will ever know how that conversation took its toll The sun never shined the way it did that day One more trip to the doctor To hear what she had to say Oh my God She didn't She said it Just like that What was I to do Or cry with Now that I'm alone I hear nothing Dead silence Except for the rain There is nothing like the sound of a tear-filled rain Every single drop causes more and more pain My heart is weighed heavy on my soul No one will ever know how that conversation took its toll I tried to open my eyes But only see a dark image of me The rain was running down the window With every drop My heart sank I knew it would be over Dreams of a family Stay strong they say Oh really Says the mother of three Her trails and tribulations No way that was me Our stories are not the same Don't try to make ...
