A Class Divided

After watching A Class Divided, I found it amazing the concern from one teacher, the racism and prejudice many African Americans were facing. Racism is something that is taught and the way a person treats someone starts with how parents raise their children. I believe that the exercise that was used on the third graders was a great example because they can absorb the feeling of what being treated different feels like and this would be an exercise that they can always remember and use as wisdom in their coming years. I believe exercises like this should be implemented in systems because not every child is taught love at home. People tend to treat others based off of how they may have been treated in their life or even their parents telling them who to hate. When a parent acts disrespect and ignorant towards someone of a different race in front of their children, then the children will feel as if that is how they’re supposed to treat people of these different races. I also thought using this exercise with adults was a good way of showing the awareness of discrimination. It showed them a glimpse of how it is to get treated differently from someone else for no apparent reason. Even though, they could never truly experience the extreme of discrimination, it gives an insight of how people of different backgrounds may feel. No one wants to be talked about, no one wants to not get an opportunity just because they look different. It’s hard to believe that this documentary of A Class Divided was filmed in 1985 and here it is 2016 and things like this is still an issue. Why are the races so divided? It’s almost as if history is repeating itself, or did it ever really change to begin with? Watching this video made me have more of an understanding of why we may still have these issues with discrimination because we’re not teaching these things in schools, maybe people need to be reeducated. It’s sad that we do have to teach these things to adults but the adults have to help teach the upcoming youth. There should be a trial and error period with several schools to see if this study can actually make a difference. Everyone wants to be treated no differently from any other person. These things are things that are capable of being taught no matter the age group.

I agree that a class divided shows you about racism but it's more to it. Some people just naturally think they are better. The difference in race just help them show it off. Skin color where you were born all that is just an excuse to be better than your fellow man. People love to feel all high and might even at the base we are the same. We are made to feel that being different is natural but some take it to far. Racism is economically and sociology it's all around. The class divided just helped bring it to light at its basic function.

Stressed?

Since we are all getting to that point in college in which we are slacking off, failing classes, and then getting upset over your own failure, I feel like it is the perfect time to talk about stress relief. It is sort of difficult for students to get back on track when they are feeling down, so at this point students still continue with their slacking off, which in turn makes you feel even more shitty and it is an endless cycle of shittiness. Either that or you just give up. Both options are needless to say, shitty. Well there must be another way without finally telling your parents you fucked up after lying to them for months that you are doing perfectly fine in college when you are obviously not.

The way to solve one’s failing grades is to start at how you’re feeling. Start at the problem at hand and physically do something about it. “I feel like shit so therefore I am going to crawl in a hole and die.” is not the best option. Neither is “I am going to drink my problems and smoke a lot, maybe party WOOP WOOP!” Isn’t a good option either. It’s too risky and a lot of people end up in situations they don’t want to be in parties while they are stressed.

I feel like at this point it is healthy to procrastinate, but not in the way you are thinking of. Procrastinate in your social life maybe. Maybe you haven’t done a thing that you enjoy doing in a while or want to try something new. Basically take a vacation! Go fly a kite, work out, maybe do some yoga, catch up with someone you haven’t talked to in a while. Eventually you will, or should, forget all about how stressed you are. At this point you should look at the problem that you are facing in school with a clear mind and some optimism.

Personally, I enjoy flying kites and taking a weekend off to go visit my family. I come back to college ready to tackle my problems. I get some tea, write a list of what I need to fix and then I work. After that it is good to reward yourself. I visit my boyfriend or I get a nice bowl of ice cream.

Working under pressure or giving up entirely will make you break down and you will fail. But as long as you can combat your stress with something you love to do, you should fly by nice and easy, just as long as you stop procrastinating once you start to feel better!

[myblindpride]

I disagree with this I believe working under pressure is the best thing ever. Life won't be all easy so you have to get comfortable while being uncomfortable. If you can't handle that life will be harder cause it never goes at planned. I get the slacking off part but I'm worse than others some I start slacking off. I wait till it gets really bad before I put in the effort I need to get the job done. So engines though of you have to much pressure that will be bad. If you bite of more than you can chew it will make life harder but at times it can be needed. Life is hard and if you don't prepare for it at some point when the rough times comes you won't be ready

Home Stretch

This semester was a crucial semester for me. College in general was a huge change not only in my life but many others. The transition from high school to college was abrupt and shell shocked many students. Myself included, I expected college to be way different and I was ready for that. What I was not ready for was how independent you had to be. I was fairly self sustaining but it did become difficult to make decisions during my first semester, I was indecisive and it resulted me in not doing so well. Then doing not so well the first semester resulted in me having to work harder this semester. I tried to take classes that I was interested in so I could be engaged and do well in that class. This tactic worked a little, but I found out that I do well in classes where I have close friends in because I am able to work and study with that person or group. When I am alone and quiet it gets harder for me to focus and do well. But as this semester went forward I found myself doing better in classes because my college career was on the line. I understand now that when I am put under large amounts of pressure I bring out the best work inside of me. Or I find the perseverance that any great student has to help them do well in school. I also believe that since I am an adult I need to take care of my own business and take my life one step at a time. The first step was to do exceptionally well this semester so I can return for my sophomore year at buffalo state. I have made a family here that I love and cherish, I would not all this work and all these friendships to end because I did not want to work a little harder. I enjoyed this home stretch of my first year of college I have learned many things, not only from the classes I am taking but new things about life. This is why I believe everyone should have some type of college experience, it helps people learn more about themselves and find new things that they have never came across before. Knowledge is power and experiencing new things is something that gives you more knowledge. I am glad that I came to college and I believe everyone that is here should be grateful for what they have and what they are experiencing.

[myblindpride]

I feel like this semester was huge for me to. The change from being in high school happened so quickly. I just wasn't able to adapt as fast as I should have. Being more independent deftly was a problem for me to. I always thought it was just going to be a cake walk. That was definitely a mistake thinking that. College had to be taken more seriously and i see that now. The highschool i went to defiantly didn't prepare me for anything that I came across. So practically it was like I was at the starting line all over again.

I've felt incredibly sad lately.

Not because I’m alone. Not because I’m lonely. Not because I miss you.

Because, even when I am surrounded with friends, I feel completely secluded and I’m afraid to break this bubble of social anxiety. I’ve never had a problem with this before. I’ve never been afraid to talk. I don’t want to push anyone else away. I don’t want to be alone like I was a few years ago.

I don’t want to be sad anymore.

[myblindpride]

I agree with this because sometimes even around friends it's just a lonely time. They will all be happy and I'll just be there. I love being around my friends though. Sometimes it just seems like the only person that will understand me is me. It's just gets all lonely but I can't really tell people about it. I don't want to ruin there good time so i don't really say nothing I just let things go. I may not want to be sad but worst I won't let others be sad cause of me. I've figured out how to put on a fake smile just so everyone else can enjoy who they are.

Blog #10

In a class divided it shows how easily people can turn against each other. In many ways you can see how they react. People never learned to love each other so they look out for themselves. It's the basic instinct of animals.once one feels superior they tend to act like they are better than others but it's crazy how the adults responded. The kids I understand since they are like sponges and suck up information. You can't really blame they for how they react they haven't been taught any better yet. It's good to see that this teacher is trying to teach them better so they won't grow up and continue to treat others like they are less than them. Everyone is equal and the best way to see that is to take a walk in someone's else's shoes so to speak. If a simple thing as blue eyes vs brown eyes can turn man against man then it makes sense that race does as well. The adults should have reacted better they are more mature and understand the world more. In the video one women stick up for the group but the others just watched and did nothing. The video shows how easy it is for man to turn against man. What I don't get is why would people turn against others. Even friends went against each other it's someone you've known for so long then you suddenly just turn against them. That's one wild way to think but humans are closer to animals that people really think. They let the instinct of survival run them and they make hasty and rash decisions. That video shows that being superior is a big issue and love doesn't really play a big role in it anymore. It's about who has the better things and is more on top of the food chain. In the video the kids turned the words brown eyes into a derogatory turn so fast how does that happen. It's good for many people to experience this activity it would be good for all people to understand each other. They can see that at a basic level we are all humans nothing more or less no one race should be above any other. That way we can start to understand each other and make a change so everyone can live together. The class divided activity should be taught and seen by everyone.

Friends are important to me. They look out for you and make you happy. It's good to have all many types of friends. You never know who can become your friend. You have to be open to knew and different people. You shouldn't judge anyone by first glance because once you get to know them they could end up your best friend. Some friends last forever and some don't. You can't let losing someone stop you from being who you are. People will try to take advantage of you but you can't let that change your mind. All real friends will accept you for who you are but that don't mean you can act however you want. You still have to try and understand other people's feelings. I know humans are driven by a survival instinct but that don't mean you should try to understand other. We all want people to get how we feel but we don't want to put in the work for everything. We are lazy creatures I know that first hand and somethings may not seem worth it. Trying new things is good though even if you can't always see the value at first. You gotta struggle to get what you want and it's the friends that struggle with you that you keep around. Some friends will hold you up no matter what dumb decisions you mark just because they want to see you happy. Others will tear you down just so you can build yourself up and succeeded in life. There are different kind of friends around the world and some are definitely helpful but others don't really do nothing for you. It's all about your perspective though what do you need in your life. Do you need to party, be focused or both its what you need if what makes you you. So you have to learn by experience fail and stand up again that's the world that we see around us. I love life and my friends the many kinds. They are so different that sometimes you wouldn't get why we are friends. Others if clearly shows that we do things that are the same and act the same. If you see me around any though we are always having fun and joking around. All of us basically just like laughing and joking that's what we do l. We may all have different instincts but that's the thing that has us all in common is our love of fun. We are carefree but serious it's a mix of both but you can't see which one out ways the other.

One issue that is significant to this year presidential campaign is abortion. Abortion is define as the termination of a pregnancy. Abortion, is a controversial discussion that the presidential candidates and even citizens debate over. The choice to be against or support abortion. The two main democrats, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are pro abortion, however Donald Trump, the lead republican candidate is against abortion, or as he would say "pro life." The main thing voters and citizens need to know before they make a choice is to think about the pros and cons of abortion. Voters need to research questions, like how many women get abortions every year, the side effects of abortion, and will abortion affect a women's ability to get pregnant in the future. This can help voters make an informed choice about the issue. This is the best course for citizens because it makes it easier for them to pick a candidate to vote for. If all voters research on these issues, it can help them make an opinion. Once the voters has a opinion, voting for a candidate won't be difficult for them. This is something voters need to consider, because it helps them choice a candidate that agrees with their opinion on the issue.

I saw that we should learn more about vocabulary. I believe it to be her true. The accumulation of words is an important part of growing. It can help you threw a lot of situations. The more you know the more you can say and understand. You won't find yourself stuck in any situation you can't talk your way out of. You will also be able to talk to anyone anywhere. As we get older we will have to be able to converse in many different areas like politics. This world is different than the normal one I live in so I wouldn't say the same words I do around my friends.

For a very long time, police officers have failed to protect citizens. There have been a plethora of cases where people are either being killed or not receiving justice for police brutality. Police brutality remains one of the most serious and hostile human rights violations in the United States. The brutal acts performed by the police officers violates our amendments.

Police brutality is when a police officer acts with excessive force that is unnecessary. Police officers have gotten above the law and are now able to abuse their powers as they wish. When an officer uses excessive force, they are violating the fifth and fourteenth amendments. The fifth amendment protects the rights of citizens by allowing them them the due processes of the law, and the fourteenth amendment guarantees citizenship, due process, and equal protection of law. This is a violation of the amendments because they are supposed to protect us under the law and they don’t. The police force does not protect us in many ways. Research has proven that the percentage of people getting killed by police officers has drastically increased.

It terrifies the citizens when they know that they have no control over the police abusing their power. Police officers should be the ones protecting the people from harm, not the ones doing harm. It is a police officer’s job to help the people when they are not able to help themselves. Often, when there has been a public report of police brutality, it causes the citizens to empathize and sympathize with the person who has been treated unfairly. The punishment of a crime is supposed to be decided by law not an individual.

Civil unrest involves violent or nonviolent disruption of social order. Civil unrest can also involve things such as protests or strikes. For example, , civil unrest occurred in a case in Ferguson, Missouri.  An 18 year old  boy who lived in Ferguson, named Michael Brown, was shot by officer Darren Wilson at least six times, including twice in the head. Brown was unarmed.

Citizens were upset over the shooting and many community leaders thought that the the officer involved with the shooting should be tried for manslaughter.  However, the outcome of this case was not very successful. The grand jury decided not to indict Officer Wilson. This caused a lot of dismay for the citizens of Ferguson. In order to protest the lack of justice receive justice for Michael Brown’s killing, the citizens of Ferguson decided to have a protest. The protest in Ferguson lasted four days. Not only did it last four days, there were also many people arrested. Police brutality can lead to civil unrest which causes more unnecessary forces used by police officers. The citizens will not stop protesting until something is done about the police officers brutal actions.

I agree and disagree because not all cops are out to hurt other. They just do their job the best they can. It's the people who picks cops that are at fault. They should have a better way at picking them. They shouldn't have the corrupt or racist ones. That's what puts the people at risk. They always issuing the law in a way that makes it seem like they aren't doing anything wrong. Yeah the police has hurt many people but they aren't fully at fault. They just go about it wrong because their are many people who are dangerous. Some only be out to protect themselves. In general though the cops are doing a poor job at keeping the people safe.

Insecurity is a feeling of general unease or nervousness that may be triggered by perceiving of oneself to be vulnerable or inferior in some way, or a sense of vulnerability or instability which threatens one’s self-image or ego. I feel like this is a topic that should be discussed for many reasons but the main reason being the attention that twitter has recently brought to everyone’s attention. Recently I came across a twitter post in which a user had made a video stating the reason that girls and women wear make-up. The reason this topic had attention was because of the controversy and opinions that people had to share about this. Basically in the video the girl stated that girls do not wear make-up to impress boys or anyone else but to simply make themselves feel comfortable. I can be a little bias towards this topic because I personally wear make-up close to everyday and I do this because I like the way I feel after the fact that my make-up is done. The real issue that came up with this topic would be the fact that some people responded to the girl’s tweet in negative way. Most of the people who commented states that girls wear make-up because they are insecure and want to cover their face to look “beautiful”. My opinion on that statement would be that if this was the case for girls, the reason they wear make-up is because they are insecure about themselves, what is the problem? Im not agreeing with the fact that this is solely the reason that girls that wear make-up but the main reason that this should not be something that anyone should care about be the girl who is actually wearing the make-up. On the other hand, the reason that girls wear make-up is not because they are insecure but because they feel like it. That’s the same thing as saying guys sag their pants because they want to be cool and be like other guys who do it or they can be sagging their pants because it comfortable to them or simply because they want to. Im not really sure why this became a topic that was talked about on twitter but it’s something that I think as an individual, people should think about. The reason for this statement is because I feel that when people say things like this on social media for people to see, they want people to respond or they want to get a message across to a certain audience. Although it is a good way to bring up discussion, it also can hurt certain people’s feelings because of what exactly is being stated. The topic of insecurity can be very controversial when it comes to what people are insecure about but at the same time can be held in a good manner if people were not negative and cared about the way people might feel. Watch what you post because you never know who in your audience is and how they might respond to your post!

[myblindpride]

I disagree some females just put in make up because it makes them feel better. They are insecure they just like they way they look. It's for their own personal preference. I know lots of females who wear make up for them selfs. They don't worry about no one else's option they just do what they want. Sometimes insecurity isn't easy to see. Some people just do what they want because it's just what they like to do. I know for a fact boys sag just cause they want not the way it makes them look. Others just hate sagging and don't want to see it happen at all.

Vocabulary B#6

I feel like we should do more vocabulary experiences in class. Vocabulary is very important in any language. Knowing strong techniques with learning words can effectively improves someone’s speech, writing, and reading comprehension. With me, talking and reading was never my strong suit. I realized that vocabulary can have a tremendous impact of how people listen and understand once words. I notice this advantage at a young age. Even though my speech was not the best, the vocabulary I have used at a young age would have teachers, family members, and friends positively separate me from other. I was able to get the positions I wanted in organization, and become team leaders. Before this realization I would say words without truly understanding the meaning. When I was in the first grade, I learned a new word at home that I found cool. One day my teacher had came late into class, explaining to us that she was going to be absent for a few days in behalf of the death of her grandfather. Me, understanding her situation I told her, “Good for you”. Not truly understanding the meaning of that phase and how it is usually used, I just insulted my teacher without realizing it and boy was she pissed. I just wanted to show her some care but because my little comprehension and low vocabulary I had to stand outside class for a good hour. I will never forget that day, if I had acknowledged my wrongful vocabulary I could have then picked a better way of saying “keep your head up high”. Bad word choices can happen to anyone and at anytime, but the more we educate ourselves with different word choice and new techniques of speech people can avoid any awkward situation like my past. With learning more words I can improve my speech and talk my way into the programs I would like to go. Personally speech is very important in any society. It can get you anywhere you want, but before you become incredible with your speech, your vocabulary needs to be fascinating. In college I have realized that my vocabulary needs an update. When I read or hear what people say now, has me bewildered to the the point that I do not know what I have been doing for the past few years. So I stress that vocabulary is truly important and would like to go over some new words more often in class.

[myblindpride]

I agree that we should learn vocabulary. It's a good thing to have many words in your arsenal. I find that their are many words people don't really know. It is needed to know a huge variety so you can always understand what's going on. It is very true that with vocabulary you can speak in many different places. It helps you adapt to no matter what you are doing and you don't be limited by the amount of words you know. I honestly love learning to words I don't know so I can use them. Their aren't really any bad words though. Some are just better than others. There are many words that fit better in certain situations. I have different conversations with many different friends that I have. Some use words I can't understand so I don't really know how to respond to them. So it would be better to learn more words and say things in many ways. All words have more than one meaning but everyone don't really know that. It's good to learn about words and the way that they can and should be used. There are also many words that you don't ever see in your life but they are useful. So it would be good to learn vocabulary.

Kids

Kids are important to me. They are the future of this country. We need to give them more attention. They are the building blocks of the future but education doesn't help show that. Soviet are making kids compete instead of working together. We need all the kids to be at their best instead of just a select few. Our new world needs to be built by the many. Kids don't have enough education and even harder to get it. We want to built a better future but making people pay more college. Kids of all kinds need an education they are the building blocks. Kids are a big enough focus people just focus on money and making themselves better. We are in the age were we are going down hill but the kids are what is next. They are the ones that will lead us to the future. We don't want dumb kids leading us to the future that wouldn't be the way life is. We have to think of everyone and not ourselves. When we are old to we really want our society to be ruined. The older generation doesn't see it but the kids need to be their main focus. I see it all the time the way kids are now and is that what we want for the future. It's looking kind of bland. We should be worried our world may not last long. Are we prepared to continue neglecting the truth. I want to live in a world were their are no worries but how can I do that with the cost of college. It's only getting harder now so people should be getting smarter. That's not how it's looking from the kids. They aren't able to get the education that they want. Some only see one way to live their life. If we leave a blind eye the world will continue to fall. Their are just so many aspects to it. Everywhere you look you can see a problem. Kids are our future I know I say it a lot but it's the truth. Something like this needs to be brought to the light. The more that one repeats finally someone will take note of what is said. Yeah right now lives are fine but look into the future. That's what we are living for we need to look and make sure it is bright.

Basketball

I love playing basketball it's one thing in the world that makes me happy. It's just amazing to play it for fun. The best memories I have involve me playing it. That's why the summer is my favorite time so I can go to the junction and play ball. I honestly miss home for that reason as well. My whole family plays ball that's just something that we do. We are all so competitive as well even if we're on the same team. We don't worry about winning or losing. All that matters to use is who does better on the team. That thing can be out downfall. We should learn how to play as a team but our egos won't allow it. They mostly argue and blame each other when it's going and but u be their enjoying myself. I just love playing it winning or losing. Sometimes I don't play at all because the people playing are just taking it way to seriously. So I just sit in the park and enjoy myself it's such a nice place to be. My family always having block parties and cookouts in the park so we always playing ball together a that's the best part. My friends are all over the junction so there is no down side to being there. It's always fun and crazy but I can always find something fun to do. Back to playing ball though it's fun to do and good for me. I'm horrible at being a team player so it helps out a lot. Also for a lazy guy like me it helps me try next best. I ain't a guy to get all competitive all the time but something about basketball brings it out. I hate losing to anyone in my family they just brag way to much. Showing off also helps since I'm able to dunk it's fun to dunk on anyone that I get the chance to. Being me also means I try to dunk on anyone no matter how tall they are. I'm always trying to show off instead of trying to get the win and that doesn't always work it self out. I lose my focus on what I need to and it also makes me so angry. Every time I play ball I get upset but it's helping my control my temper. Playing ball has honestly helped me control my temper so much more because it's ridiculous for a carefree guy I can get so angry.

Who am I

I’m the type of guy who loves his family. I never really spend time with them all the time though. They live all over the place. I would love to spend time with them so much more but I know I can’t. They want me to have the best in the world so I had to leave where we were born. Antigua is the place that they are from. I didn’t know that for a long as time. Being away from them makes me sad all the time since I be feeling lonely. It don’t bother me as much since I’m here with my mom. She always told me that it’s always me and her. We look out for each other and make sure the other is doing good. It’s a family thing that goes past just blood. I have another family that I can’t live without. They are friends that I know will always be their for me. We go through everything together and we end up laughing. It’s the best of everything when it comes to my family. I got a serious half and a carefree half. That’s how I determine which part of my family I’m around. Some se always laughing and the other half is about their work. They all get in my nerves but I know that I can’t love without them. This shapes who I am I look at them and they all mold me into the guy I am. I mostly enjoy joking and doing nonsense. This makes some people think I’m annoying since, when we talk I ain’t really being serious. I definitely have learned to control it but I like annoying people. I’m me I always realize this in Dequan Michael Christian nothing more and nothing less. I wouldn’t want to change that. I know I got many flaws but that’s who I am. I look at change more like in evolving so life never leaves me behind. Changing myself to suit others would be boring but sometimes my carefree attitude lets people do whatever it’s just easier. Some parts of life ain’t that serious you should just enjoy it and laugh. Carefree is just me that’s what I want a life that I can love and I wont regret.

[nighthawkbear]

I live life with a similar motto: I don’t change who I am to fit into any sort of crowd. I admire that your family is a vital part of the forming of your personality. I am sorry that you feel lonely not being with them. Get your education, and then come home and bring them what they worked so hard for, a steady and effective future for you and your family. I hope things turn around for you in terms of lonesomeness. While you’re in Buffalo, I suggest that you catch a sabres game/ eat at Fat Bob’s. Perhaps I’ll join you.  

[myblindpride]

I love living this way because it's who I am. I wouldn't want to change that for any reason that would be the worst. Why live a life where I can't be me? The lonely feeling never goes anyway for me. I can never live with my family since they are all over. I live in a whole different place than my loves ones and I haven't seen them in a while. I talk to them all the type but it isn't the same. I always feels love tho and know there in my life no matter what. That's my family and I wouldn't want that to change.

I live life with a similar motto: I don’t change who I am to fit into any sort of crowd. I admire that your family is a vital part of the forming of your personality. I am sorry that you feel lonely not being with them. Get your education, and then come home and bring them what they worked so hard for, a steady and effective future for you and your family. I hope things turn around for you in terms of lonesomeness. While you’re in Buffalo, I suggest that you catch a sabres game/ eat at Fat Bob’s. Perhaps I’ll join you.

I understand what your saying because I just want to make my family proud. I don't want to disappoint them at any corner of life. They are the people I want to be able to go back home to and always be happy. I also don't like changing my self because what's the point in living life if it ain't me. They

Who am I

I’m the type of guy who loves his family. I never really spend time with them all the time though. They live all over the place. I would love to spend time with them so much more but I know I can’t. They want me to have the best in the world so I had to leave where we were born. Antigua is the place that they are from. I didn’t know that for a long as time. Being away from them makes me sad all the time since I be feeling lonely. It don’t bother me as much since I’m here with my mom. She always told me that it’s always me and her. We look out for each other and make sure the other is doing good. It’s a family thing that goes past just blood. I have another family that I can’t live without. They are friends that I know will always be their for me. We go through everything together and we end up laughing. It’s the best of everything when it comes to my family. I got a serious half and a carefree half. That’s how I determine which part of my family I’m around. Some se always laughing and the other half is about their work. They all get in my nerves but I know that I can’t love without them. This shapes who I am I look at them and they all mold me into the guy I am. I mostly enjoy joking and doing nonsense. This makes some people think I’m annoying since, when we talk I ain’t really being serious. I definitely have learned to control it but I like annoying people. I’m me I always realize this in Dequan Michael Christian nothing more and nothing less. I wouldn’t want to change that. I know I got many flaws but that’s who I am.

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL! Sometimes I can be so nonchalant, it’s almost scary my mom says. I walk around carefree because I just feel like at this age, why should we ever stress over anything other than school. I’m also very carefree because I have this theory, I feel like once you show people you care they use it to their own advantage and fuck with your feelings my mother and I are also very close, that’s my rock. I can tell my mother almost anything and everything, it crazy because my mother and I have the same mindset “it’s just us “.

I understand that if you start feeling people take advantage. People know a days just like using you. The best way to stop that is to just not care. Being carefree is the beat thing ever. It really helps you stay relaxed. I look around at other people and see how stressed they are and it just be crazy. Me and my mom are always their for each other no matter how much we get on each other's nerves. She always keeps me calm and understands me. I tell her everything because that's the women I love. I may not always show her but without her I wouldn't have made it where I am now.
