2009-2010

This school year has been interesting. So many things has happened this year. For the school part of this year, it has been alright. The wost thing about school this year is not getting any sleep, so during the day I'm really tired. But the best thing that has happened is meeting all my new friends. I've known most of the people, but I didn't talk to them then. My favorite subject has been math because I love math. I like English, but it just isn't my thing. Biology is alright, but mot my favorite. History is, well, I hate it. Sorry, but it's the truth. The hardest thing about this year has been doing my homework and keeping my grades up. I don't do my homework and for a while, just by looking at my grade, you could tell. Next year is going to suck because some of my best friends are moving. I don't know what I'll do with out them. But I'll try to make the best of it.

Animal Farm.

Animal Farm was an okay book. It had many good qualities but it just wasn't my taste. The moral of the story was inspiring. Using the Russian Revolution as the inspiration for the book, made the book kind of interesting. I think where they were trying to point out is something that all people need to realize. Not all leaders are good or fair. Some people say," Well, they are a leader, so they must be right." But that's usually not right. The book is about the animals on the farm overthrowing their owner, And when the idea was first presented it was for a good reason, but when they got a new leader, everything goes to the way things were, but worse. Their new leader started changing the rules so he could do what he wants.

How are the animals in Animal farm not used their owner having control over them?

In the first chapter of the book Animal Farm, all the animals are in the barn having a meeting, talking about how to oversee their owner. But what I don't get is how can they not be used to him having power over them. At first, I can understand them trying to rebel, but after while it just doesn't make since to me. Yeah, I still rebel against my mom, but only on certain things. Only the things that I really want to do or things that my siblings got to do but my mom is changing the rules for me. So, I can partially understand where they are coming from. Think of someone that has power over you, maybe your parents, a judge or who ever, did you eventully accept the fact that they have power over you? I don't know about you, but I would just sit back and let them take control, like they always have.

How does someone gain or maintain power?

Have you noticed how some people seem to have power over other people? Well I have. I've been trying to think if why people let others have power over them. The main reason I can think of is because they are afraid of them. I mean, I know if I'm afraid of someone, i let them walk all over me because I don't want any problems. If you are really that afraid of someone, it is really easy for them to have control over you. They maintain power by instilling fear into you and so you don't have the mind set to tell them off. People that have power shouldn't abuse it. The people trust them enough to have power and when they abuse it, it;s so wrong. I don't understand how people can be so heartless.

Eating Disorders.

“Oh my gosh! I can’t believe she has been starving herself! Why would she do this?! I don’t understand!” While some argue the main reason for girls having eating disorders is to lose weight, the real reason is because they are depressed.

Some people argue the reason for girls having eating disorders is to lose weight. Another group think the reason is because they feel like they have lost control. Other groups sat that the reason is for psychological problems, like OCD, PTDS, and many others.

So many girls are suffering from eating disorders because they are depressed. Many addictions (cutting, drugs, alcohol, etc.) turn into eating disorders. When you cut or use drugs and alcohol as a copping strategy; and you quit that, many people use eating disorders as a replacement to the cutting, drugs, and alcohol.

In conclusion, the main reason for girls having eating disorders is because of depression, not because they are trying to lose weight.
