Assignment #5: Teenagers and Gangs

The reason why teens join gangs is that they think they tough. They also think they look cool but really they don't. Why would you want to do bad stuff for the hell of it no sense at all. The way you get in a gang from what I hear is that you have to get jumped or the girls have to have sex with how many guys the main guy say. I think gangs ruin peoples lives because your always getting in trouble with laws loose people respect and so on so forth.



I think people shouldn't join gangs because its just a waist of time. There is so much to do with your live. Would you rather live freely than getting in trouble, shot at, death, or be in prison for live. Or have a good live where you have a good job, a loving family who cares about you. You can really go far in live not being in a gang. You loose so much of respect of other. They don't want you around because they don't want to worry about you stealing from them.


Another reason is that they maybe have family problems so they think that a gang is their family. But if they were like your family they wouldn't beat you up to be apart of that gang. They think that their problems go away. I rather have my real family that a gang cause they are alway there no matter what and a gang isn't. They also deal drug that are bad for you. Gang members will peer pressure you to be in their gang.


If a teen is really bored with nothing tp do they might start their own gang in their neighborhoods. If you have grown up around drugs and gangs most likely you will do drugs or be in a gang. Most gang members start exposing gangs to kids when your like 10-11. Poor kids that are exposed to gangs that like ruined their lives at a young age.

Assignment #4 Teen Suicide

"Teen Suicide"

Teen Suicide is a big issue in the US. The rate of suicide is between the ages 15-24 years old. Teens turn to suicide because they feel like no one cares about them. They also feel so alone. There are so many signs of being suicidal. Parents need to talk to their kids about suicide even though your kids aren't suicidal.Teens need to learn about this because there is other ways to solve problems than trying to kill yourself.

Parents and teens need to learn about this more because they help the lower risk of suicide. If your child is changing moods or anything that doesn't seem like them, you should talk to them before it get really bad. Parents help the your child to solve their problems so it doesn't go into suicide. Make them feel that they are loved and that you do care about them.Cause lot of teens these days feel so alone.

Someone i know is suicidal. She feels so lonely like no one cares anymore. She tried talking to her parents all they said we will talk about it later, but later never came. She started doing stuff that she knew that it was wrong and she knew that she shouldn't being doing all that stuff. But that was her way of getting away, she didn't want to feel the pain anymore. She also felt like her parents didn't care about her, her parents always helped her sisters with everything that they need help with. Now of days she is doing better, shes talking to her friends about stuff. Now she is feeling that shes loved and people cares rather than feeling alone.

Suicide is a BIG deal. NO ONE should feel like they are lonely or something like that. So talk to your family and friends when you are feeling depressed. Find help that u need so it does not go into suicide.There is always away out things you may not think so but there is.

Assignment #3... Bullying

"Bullying"

 

I've only been called names but it didn't go far.Bullying is all round us even if we don't see it. I think people get more bullied when they are gay, lesbian, or bisexual. Like the movie we watched in class about Jamie Nabozny. He got bulled for being gay.

It all stared when he was in the 7th grade. Young boys started off calling him names at first that went on for awhile. He stared getting beat up in the 8th grade by the boys in hes class.

Assignment #2...Who Am I....?

"Being Free"

  
     The person I would describe myself as would be outgoing, funny, real easy to talk to. I  do a lot of different stuff like being outdoors, I like riding horses, I also do rodeo,  or what ever sounds fun to me I do. I really enjoy being outdoors because there is lots of stuff do outside. Sometimes I go to the ranch with my dad and mom to help them brand the calves. We usually do that during the summer. When I'm at the ranch I like to ride the horses or the 4wheeler.

   The times I go to the ranch with my parents, we check the waters, the horses and cows. We also go 4wheeling either in the truck or the 4wheeler. I've been driving a 4wheeler since I was like 6 years old. My family and I some times go rabbit hunting or go elk calling I have fun when i got to the ranch.

   Being outdoors are fun for me because there is lots of stuff to do like go the park, go hiking in the mountains that's always fun, cause why would you want to be inside all the time? That's kinda boring for me. So when i go riding or to practice it feels like I'm in my own little world and i also feel free like nothing else matters to me. I also do rodeo that's always a plus. Its really fun to do and watch. I started rode just May of this year so its not been long since I started.

    I tell people how i feel sometimes if I feel comfortable with you. I'm also a really understanding person. I like helping other what ever they need help in. Making people happy makes me happy I feel like a better person inside. I love meeting new people. I like getting to know someone before judging them. I also like being around people.

Assignment #1... Personal Test

RAWRRRRR!!!!!!!!

Like the other Idealists, Champions are rather rare, say two or three percent of the population, but even more than the others they consider intense emotional experiences as being vital to a full life. Champions have a wide range and variety of emotions, and a great passion for novelty. They see life as an exciting drama, pregnant with possibilities for both good and evil, and they want to experience all the meaningful events and fascinating people in the world. The most outgoing of the Idealists, Champions often can't wait to tell others of their extraordinary experiences. Champions can be tireless in talking with others, like fountains that bubble and splash, spilling over their own words to get it all out. And usually this is not simple storytelling; Champions often speak (or write) in the hope of revealing some truth about human experience, or of motivating others with their powerful convictions. Their strong drive to speak out on issues and events, along with their boundless enthusiasm and natural talent with language, makes them the most vivacious and inspiring of all the types.

Fiercely individualistic, Champions strive toward a kind of personal authenticity, and this intention always to be themselves is usually quite attractive to others. At the same time, Champions have outstanding intuitive powers and can tell what is going on inside of others, reading hidden emotions and giving special significance to words or actions. In fact, Champions are constantly scanning the social environment, and no intriguing character or silent motive is likely to escape their attention. Far more than the other Idealists, Champions are keen and probing observers of the people around them, and are capable of intense concentration on another individual. Their attention is rarely passive or casual. On the contrary, Champions tend to be extra sensitive and alert, always ready for emergencies, always on the lookout for what's possible.

Champions are good with people and usually have a wide range of personal relationships. They are warm and full of energy with their friends. They are likable and at ease with colleagues, and handle their employees or students with great skill. They are good in public and on the telephone, and are so spontaneous and dramatic that others love to be in their company. Champions are positive, exuberant people, and often their confidence in the goodness of life and of human nature makes good things happen.
Joan Baez, Phil Donahue, Paul Robeson, Bill Moyer, Elizibeth Cady Stanton, Joeseph Campbell, Edith Wharton, Sargent Shriver, Charles Dickens, and Upton Sinclair are examples of Idealist Champions
