8th Grade Writing

I love writing Short stories and i think i still have to fix using the same word over and over in the beginning if the year.

Maybe your addin more than taking away.

Hello my name is Raymond. I have a little sister her name is Squeaky she is like my protector. She walks around with me and she beats people up when they are mean to me.I know she is trying to help me but i feel like she thinks i am incapable of doing it myself. I want to do things by myself sometimes. Sometimes i just want to be independent. I feel like when shes not around people make fun of me because shes always around maybe it wouldn't be that way if i could just do some things on my own. I love my sister but sometimes i want to be independent i know i don't know how to be independent but that's why i need her off my back sometimes i need to learn.

Candy Candy i love you so much!!!!!!!!!!

I unwrapped the colorful wrapper. When the wrapper was open i saw your eyes looking at me in a waiting way. When i put you in my mouth you began to walk down my throat. You got to my crying sad tummy and began to do a dance. When you began to dance my tummy began to start singing "I like it". My eyes began to hop and i began to pop. I guess i was becoming hyper i don't care, i wasn't going to be a square. O candy candy i love you so much. SUGAR RUSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My crying Bladder

My crying Bladder

Once I was walking to the mall. I got to the mall and I really had to pee and so I went in the washroom and all the doors were closed so I waited.  It was a 20 minutes later and no one came out so I thought all these people had to poop. So I waited 10 more minutes. I finally gave up and said I will go to the other bathroom. When I got there it was the same but I said Ok I will try to hold it and walk around the mall so that’s what I did. So I was in Rave and I was about to urinate myself, so I sprinted to the guys facilities and there were was only 2 stalls and both of them had feces in them so I sprinted to the next bathroom.

This bathroom had  urine on the seat and I almost began to cry. I decided I would wipe the urination if the toilet and pee. So I did, then about 2 hours later I walked in the ladies bathroom again and I noticed there was no one in there. And I just stood there with my jaw on the floor and then a whole group of ladies walked in and then the bathrooms really were occupied. This time I did not have to wait that long. So at the end of the day my bladder and I were exhausted and ready to settle down.
The bold words are the ones that were changed!

somewhere???

i run to find a place to go. i run at a constant pace. whenever i find that place i will know because my heart will heat and feel like it is beginning to melt. once i get there i don't know what i will do. If i never find that place i guess i will be alone. All i want to do is have a home, somewhere for me to be free. To breathe my own air. i just want to be me in my...Home.

Memories Essay

Have you ever been caught up in a memory?

                Well I have been reading this book. It is called ribbons and there is a girl who is getting pulled into someone else’s memories. But there was a problem; she didn’t like this so well. Have you ever felt weird when someone has a dream and they said was related to you, this is the position this girl was in. Even though that person might not understand what they are doing to you it could still be weird.  Before she could get past this she had to confront the other person Unless you know how to solve problems like this then it could be a somewhat complicated situation. Here are a few tips to make it through situations like this.

First, let me tell you a little of what happened. So there is a girl and her grandmother is coming in from a different country, and her grandmother had a very unfortunate past which involved ribbons. But the girl does ballet and she has her ribbon ballet shoes. Although she loves it there is a problem, her Grandmother does not approve. It is not that her grandmother does not want her to do it; it’s just the fact that her past is coming back and haunting her every time she sees the ribbons. So she throws them away and the girl has to confront her and tell her that it is okay to have the ribbons because they are for ballet and then the Grandmother looked inside her heart and gave them back to her. Until the grandmother was confronted she would have never known.

Furthermore, this is what you have to do confront the person and tell them how you feel. Until you do it, is hidden among the non existing thoughts. You have to tell them, inform then on what is going on. No one likes to feel absent minded. People want to know what is going on but they can’t help you if you don’t let them know what is wrong. As you can tell that would the girl did. Do you think the Grandmother knew the problem until she was told?

Next, you need to explain why you feel this way? Explain to them what the problem is and why you have a problem. Most of the time this is avoided and people will tell what the problem is but will not explain unless you have. Think into the other persons brain tell them before they have to ask you. When you do this that person will have a better understanding and will be more open to responding to your request. You might not believe this but that other person wants to know.

Finally, be careful of how you say it. You don’t want to take it over the top. While you are talking make sure to look them in the eye. A lot of the time people put themselves in bad positions because of their body language. Body language is key. Even though it is sometimes hardly ever recognized when it is recognized you want it to be good. Which means you are not slouching and looking like you really don’t care you just want something, you need to stand tall and make them feel what you feel make them think what you think make them relate.

Well these are just a few tips you could use to get yourself out of these positions. You will not always have someone there to guide you sometimes you have to know what to do on your own. People will not always be alongside you walking you through everything. After you learn this you will be okay. Until then just try to stay away from these types of situations. I hope you don’t get into these types of situations but if you do these are some helpful hints you can use.

The Everyday life of a abused child

The Everyday Life of an Abused Child.

            Everyday a child has to go through abuse from either the father or mother. They don’t get the chance to be free, they don’t ever get to see happiness and they don’t get to live the life of a child. A lot of the people in this point in time get to wake up to the almost perfect family. Child Abuse is dark depressing and has no meaning.         

One of the first types of abuse that we have to go through is Neglect.  This is considered to be an easy child abuse case, instead of many others.. Neglect is when the parent does not take care of the child properly. The one thing that Is unsure is when these parents are having the kids do they have a mental setting that they are going to abuse the child or is it something that just progresses over time. Maybe parents do this when they are tired of the child so they do what they can to make the child’s life miserable, However it could also be caused if the parents drink or do drugs. Parents that do this have messed up their lives but that doesn’t mean that they have to mess up the child’s. This problem needs to end.

Second, there is mental abuse. It is when the child is told things. The child is told things and said to them that make them believe that are terrible, not loving themselves and think about suicide.  When a child goes through this they get the thought in their mind that they are bad people and they really aren’t, then it usually worsens at younger ages because that is their mind setting and they tend to act as how they were treated.

            

The third, type of abuse is Physical Abuse. Physical Abuse is when the parent or guardian actually hits and puts their hands on the child. It is beyond sad to ever put your hands on a child. This abuse is the easiest to point out because after the children are abused you can see the marks and bruises. Is this epidemic really being fixed? No, it’s not because if it was then it wouldn’t be this big of a problem. The government needs to step in and do more about this.

            
Lastly, there is Sexual Abuse. Sexual Abuse Is when the parent has sexual intercourse or touches the child inappropriately and makes the child feel uncomfortable. This is just sick; people should have the thought of touching young children that is not only sick but perverted. People that do things like this need to get help and must not have lives if this is what they do. Children die every day from all types of abuse sexual and physical being the top two. I actually know of a young child whose parents were actually drug users and they put the child into the hospital because the child was abused and had ribs broken by parents. The happy part is that now the child is with their grandparents. But there is no excuse for Abuse.

            
Well we need to do something. This is getting out of control as many as 553300 children die every day from abuse. Even thought those are facts from 1760 to 2007 does it matter either way children are dying. People are not making that much of an effort to really truly stop it. So let’s work together and get the job done.

Why Me?

Why Me?

A lonely child desperate and alone.

Nowhere to go and has no home.

Confused and fatally abused.

The child cries bleeding tears as their heart tears.

The love can’t be found there is no way around.

But what can that child say.

They have no questions but one.

Why me I want to be free.

You ask you cry waiting for love to soon come by.

Whisk you away and you never turn to say goodbye.

The time has come.

You can see .

No more asking…

Why Me?

Galaxies Yours and Mine

Galaxies Yours and Mine                                                                          Liz Brown

Our galaxies are so unique. There are so many different kinds. They are so different from each other none of them are like each other. I went and did a little research and what I found was amazing.

The first type of Galaxy I will be talking about is the Spiral Galaxy. It has arms and it is in a Pinwheel shape. When I look at it, it looks like gas and stars combined.  I think it is beautiful. About 77% of the galaxies are spirals. Spiral galaxies look different depending on the angle that you see it from.

Second, is the Elliptical galaxy. It can be a circle or it can be an oval. It is also very common of star cities. This is one of the main 3 galaxies out of the 3. Most Elliptical galaxies are made of older stars. I believe it somewhat cool how older stars can make a whole galaxy.

Third, is the irregular galaxy. This is a really cool one, it is made up of stars that do not have a definite shape. They are so different. The amazing thing is that all Irregular galaxies were once a elliptical or spiral galaxy but got deformed in the gravitational pull.

Well these are a couple of the things I learned during my research you should check it out and research some of the things you like. It can really be interesting. Try It you never know.
