What Scare's Me ????????? :)

2009-11-12T11:18:00.000-08:00

1. snakes
2. death

Only these things scares me. Snakes can just bite you or kill you, you don't know what kinds of snakes are there. Death is really scary because you can die on any day, any time. Sometimes i even dream of death, is weird waking up having a feeling something bad is going to happen. Is not funny making koes on something that is going to happen to you someday, Some people are scared of anything, i bet when they where little they were scared of anything that says BOO.

Had a mad day? Today I had one, feel like doin nothin. Have u ever felt u were boring , feeling like u not full pf happiness or u never has fun in ur life. It's like starin at a cloud that is empty. Forgot my Ela notebook, Saturday is my cousin birthday his goin 2 have a party n i don't know. I feel like i'm living in a hole that low beneath the ground. No one can get me out n no one can get in. I'm living in the hot or cold days waitin for something to happen, is lonely and can talk 2 no one but yourself. But i like it because i don't have 2 care about thing tht is happening outside of where i am. Is sad but it's ok for me, people can cry but i wouldn't care that much, people can wonder when they going to let me out of there but they need to understand that it's ok for me and that i don't care. I just care if i'm alive right noe in front of everyone who lost hope in life, Some can not are because they don't have a heart, is like someone riped it out and trashed it some where no one can find.
Nov 12, 2009 is today. We now have 3 8th grades classes. I'm still in Columbia 801, none as 8A. Nothing to do, people talking, me sitting writing my thought s from the whole day or pasted 2 days, yesterday we didn't have school. And Tuesday was a half a day. My mom got mad when she found out i missing homework. I half percent like my class. now some1 took laptops from tech cafe, who ever took it please give it mad, why would you want to steal it if , you have permission to use it in your tech time.

Feelings n Thoughts

2009-10-08T10:32:00.001-07:00

Ever thought when you going to die? Sometimes the thought just comes, I get scared because you don't when you going to die. I had a dream that I got get by a car or a train, or someone shot me. You don't know when, where, or why is going to die. I keep my feelings to my self because no one is going to understand my thoughts, maybe they going to think I'm crazy. Have you ever dream you going to die and then wake up crying? I think that's a sign telling you something important. I never would had written this in my blog. I always felt out of place, thinking that I'm dumb and I"m going to have a bad future. I think that my dad doesn't love me, we always fighting, bossing me around , I can never get along with him. Every time he acts different when I near was because my parents are lieing about something. I feel like no one can stop me, no one's listening to me. Sometimes I want to talk to someone about my feelings,thoughts, how I feel at home, why I'm always sad or thinking of killing my self. It's hard living a lie at skewl then at casa. But I just want to sleep for a very long time never seeing people hurting or teasing me. I got more secrets but never can tell, it's killing me inside holding my feelings but oneday maybe I can tell. If you read this don't tell me, just don't tell. This is just a short joural about a boy who went though this and killed him self in the east river.

Planet Earth Exposed!

2009-09-29T11:14:00.000-07:00

Video number 1: It shows the great white shark, largest fish on the planet. Leave to go fishing, the eat seal's. They have to swim for there life is in danger. The ocean is different then NEW YORK CITY is because we can't walk or run in water, we don't hunt for fish and we don't have water all around us.
Video number 2: It shows grass/ rainforest's and it's different because we don't have rainforest's all over NYC. Rainforest's need water and have animals living on them. It maybe has all kinds of plants, some tree's fall down. Tree's go down to keep the rain forest healthy.
Video number 3: it shows mother fox hunting for food. She attacked 4 baby birds and only got one, then the mother fox feed it to her kids. It's sad losing a babie chick when it just borned.
I would go two vist the rainforest's because you can see the animals that leave there, see how they hunt and know what there life is like.

This is a eye

heart broken of her mother
found out she's adopted
beautiful eyes like her father
living her new life
without the lies
running away for not being seen.

Brand New Voices is kids all around the world, sharing there poems that they wrote to win what they trying to get. In each poem tells something about that person, life, wanted to be free. Poems tell me that what you are, or where you came from tell your life,feeling,actions in a poem because it will help to take that weakness in you, that its hurting you and you goes want it to stop. I know that feeling, when you got no one to talk to or tell them what's wrong, what's keeping you to do better,change, be a better person or help your family. People from gangs go there to read what has happened to you, family, even your best friend who got shot or killed. This is a good way to show what you can do if you just try, showing the little kids to do the right thing, not get into fights, gangs, steal, use drugs. This can change people and I hope the bested one wins the price. Brand New Voices thank you guys saving the kids and picking a right pass for them.

Hi my name Jerrine. My day is mad because I always go home tired.I have to work under the hot sun. My work is to grow fruits, rice, beans and more. I pick the beans one by one and I do the same to the others foods. I get 2 dollars a day, thats like getting nothing that can help me and my family. That makes me feel mad because I not doing this for me , I'm doing this for my family to get money. I hate the job I have. In school i do bad because I have to work and on the days I don't have work I go to school or help around the house. I worry if I'm going to do this for the rest of my life or get away for this dream. My parents let me work that job because they need the money. I think my parents should get a job and get money not only me. I will change my life like starting to go to school and work lest. People can help like sending money to us and the poor people around us and sending school stuff. They should because we need the money more then them and if they have great heart they will send things,

Child Labor

2008-10-08T09:39:00.000-07:00

My class did what the kids in child labor do. The work they can is mad and tried. There work is to pick a seed,bean at a time and put it in a cup or bowl. They have to work under the hot sun and have no breaks. They grow fruits, beans, rice and food. Some of them have to make popcorn on the streets and sell them, to help there family members. It feels mad and dangerous, for me, if I was working like them. For them is hard to do school homework and get money for there family. They maybe so more work and lest at school. They maybe worry about what is going to happen in the future, if they going to travel, have a family, have a job that is great then the one they have now. There parents let them work because they want money and not thinking of there child that's giving up school and learning. They get 2 dollar's a day for working in the farm. The parent's can get a job or if they sick they can try to do something that helps the family. I can change there life, by quiting there jobs and going to school. People could help by sending money, and school supplies.

2008-09-25T11:25:00.000-07:00

I think is a great ideato get a tattoo because it look s cool on people. The 2nd reason is it looks like art on your body. Who ever likes to get plain on them self, is more better to get lots of tattoos on yourself. The 4th reason to get a tattoo is that you can get a tattoo liking like roses, peoples faces, the devils, god, and more. The last reason that people should get tattoos is, you can get it for someone you love and have there name on your body.

The other hand, I think that people should not get tattoos because its plain full. The 2nd reason is because its on your body for life, if you can pay to get if off your body. The 3rd reason why you should not get a tattoo is because you may not like it when its done. The 4th reason why people should not get a tattoo is because you have to be 18 or older to get a tattoo. The last reason why people should not get a tattoo is because when people not at you they maybe going to think that thats not cool or they don't what you near there kids and maybe they going to think that you crazy. Thats why you have to make a chose if you want a tattoo or you don't want a tattoo.
