I think I regained my faith in humanity. I wish it wasn't this way, though. A 16 year old junior at the high school I attend died. Overdosed, on bars. I couldn't believe it. He was one of those guys that could be friends with everyone, you know? He was nice and sweet to everyone he met, he was always easy going and happy. He always had a smile. He didn't have enemies, because everyone loved him....

As most of you know, Bid Laden is dead. There's celebration outside the White House. There's celebration all across the world. People are generally happy he's dead. I'm still in shock right now. Like many others, Bin Laden- this strange, monster-like name- has been a source of horror in the U.S. for most of my life. He's changed the way we work and live day to day. I never really thought he would...

Tolerance is tolerance. It infuriates me day after day seeing people that are so hypocritical, especially on this site. Especially here where people claim to be open-minded and accepting- it’s ridiculous.I saw a post the other day where people were tearing down homophobes- saying they weren’t human. Because it’s going to be said, I’m not a homophobe. I completely support gay marriage, and...

Right now I'm taking a class called Interpersonal Studies. I took it because the name sounds it would be related to sociology, right? Wrong. It's basically become a day-to-day rant about the stupid nature of teenagers, though there's a few things I want to talk about with more zeal. Let's just say this teacher and I don't get along the best, and this is coming from a girl who usually is on great...

Today, I'm writing this journal while struck with a flash, a lightning bolt of inspiration. Lately, it seems as if I've heard more "teen sex" messages and speeches to preach about the waiting until marriage, waiting until love belief. I'm here to offer my point of view about sex, specifically teen sex.Today, I'm still not sure if "sex" is a vetoed word or not. When we switch on the T.V. and flick...

Every girl out there dreams of prince charming, no matter how blue your face gets from saying otherwise. We all want the handsome prince, atop a beautiful stallion. We want him to have strong features and a smile that can light up the stars. And, of course, he must rescue you; whisk you away to his kingdom, where you’ll live happily ever after with a crown on your head. But what is the word...

Where's this earth going? I look around, and just want to be sick. I could name very many problems, but I'm going to start with the one that you see every day in the morning, before you go to school: Us. Don't say, "no, not me." Yes, YOU. Right there, reading this. It's us, it's you, it's me, it's your friends, and your family. By "us" I mean the new generation walking school and mall halls, right...
