I chose the statement "Girls are more likely than guys to say they have been sexually harassed." I chose this one because it was the only one left that had a definate answer. I agree with this statement, because of many reasons. One reason is that Girls have stuff to show it. They have their "cherry" while guys do not. Girls are also very weak when it comes to keep stuff a secret. they cannot hold anything in. I think they have something in their brain that says "go tell someone" becuase if they get raped or harassed sexually then they wont be able to keep it in.
But, guys in the other hand, dont have anything to show what has happenned to them. They dont have a organ that tells every that bad stff has happend to them. But, when it comes to holding stuff in guys can do that way better and WAY longer then girls can. IF you say a girl can hold in tht type of secret for 4 months then a guy can hold it in and not show any emotion towards it for like a year. But, thats just me. I can hold stuff in for a very long while. Im not saying all guys can, or even a majority of them can.
So overall the statement is true in my eyes. It might not be true in another persons eyes. But, to me it seems very unlkely that girls can hold secrets in for a long term. Again im not saying that all girl can't do it but some can.

Third Marking Period
I chose the staement "There is a difference between being quiet and being withdrawn." I chose it because I understand what it is saying but don't really know if I agree and disagree with it I guess you could say I disagree with it because it is just atrual for someone to become quiet when they are being withdrawn. When people are being excluded(synomous to withdrawn) they tend to be very quiet and just process thoughts in their heads. So really I dont think there is much of a difference from being quiet and withdrawn.
When I was a little kid i was excluded from a lot of stuff (only because I kept switching from school to school). So whenever that happened I would always be a combination of sad and upset. would also just be very quiet for the rest of the day. Bt, everyone who I was living with always asked me if I was ok. ecause i wasnt that really loud obnoxious kid that i still am today. I would act totally different when I was being withdrawn.
In my opinion, people that get withdrawn and excluded from activities more frequently then others tend to be a lot more shy and hidden then everone else. They would rather sit in a corner alone then be at a birthday party with other little kids his or her age. But, I can also relate to that. Because I was somewhat the same way. But, if i got invited to a birthday party I would go so I could make new friends.

Second Marking Period
The statement chose this time was " Whatever happens at a party should stay at the party." In some cases I believe that this statement is true, but other times it is not. Like, say something tragic happens to someone, and they are toatlly embarassed about it and it hurts them emotionaly, mentally, and/or physically just to think about it. Then, yea no one should say anything about to anyone that was there or wasnt there.
The times it is not true is when, someone does something really funny, or something just a little humiliating and that they dont mind other people knowing it. LIke say someone slipped and fell into a pool with all their makeup on and nice pretty dress. If it is ok with the victim that other people know about it, then it is fine to talk to others that weren't at the party about the incident.
But, on the other hand there are times when something that happened at a party definatly needs to stay there, and never be spoke of again by someone other than the victim. Like say you and a friend of the opposite gender went a party, and the girl of the tw was talking to some other dude and he was drinking at the time, that doesnt sound too bad right now, does it? But later on in the night that dude becomes "over the top" drunk. So he calls over the girl in the sencario and brings her upstairs into a bedroom. Then she ends up getting raped. And a lot of people find out about it. It just so happens that everyone who found out about it was at the party. In that case no one should go around telling other people that. The only people that should be talkin about that incident should the victim and whoever she is talking about it with.
Those are just two opposite cases of when an event occured during party can and should be spread around. But, there are a lot of other happenings that shouldn't be spread around school or town or wherever.People should just kep to themselves until they get permission from the victim in any scenario that it is ok to spread around.

First Marking Period
The statement I chose is "If someone is drunk or high, she or he is not responsible for her or his actions." I completly dissagree with that statement. It is the most false thing I have ever heard of. If someone to so drunk r too high to the point where they can't control themselves then they should be at home or even better in jail. I think this because no matter what you are like weither you are drunk, high, Or even really tired, you should still be able to control yourselves and be fully aware of what you are doing at that time. No if, ands, or buts.
I was once at a concert in Madison, WI and there were a bunch of men standing and sitting, they were acting as if they were drunk. Which, they probably were drunk. But, they started throwing popcorn, soda, and other objects at eachother. They got so out of control that someone got hit in the head with a soda cup. So, they obvisously had the authorites come in and get the men out of the crowd and somewhere isolated from everyone else.
So when that was over the concert returned to normal and it was very good. The thing about it, is that those guys, I think had no self control once so ever, and they probably didnt remember what happened once the woke up. weither it was in there beds or in a jail cell. So people should never get that drunk or high EVER. But, if it does happen they at least have the control to know wen and where they should do stupid stuff like that.

Speak Respone
I chose the statement ‘Parents simply don’t understand the problems teenagers go through’. I chose it because I agree with that statement very strongly. I believe that because the things that teenagers encounter now in our day is very different but yet very similar to what our parents encountered as teenagers. But, also it depends on how old they were. If they are old like in there 50s then there is a lot more differences then there are similarities. But, if they are young like in their 30s, early 40s then there would be either an equilibrium or more similarities then there were differences.
The things that are different from what they encountered is a much more, severe rate of bullying. wither at school, over text, over the computer,etc. they are still encountering it a lot more then their parents did as a kid. One way that they are the same is teenagers in today society encounter drugs. Same with our parents. they have encountered drugs as well. But back when our parents encountered them (depending on how old they are) were probably more tempted to try them out because they didn’t now what the effects of the drugs were. But, if they are younger set of parents, they would have a less chance of trying the drugs, because of the research done on the drugs and the kind of information scientists have found out about the long term effects and the short term effects. So they would be more hesitant to try them.
Another way that parents teenager years would differ from today’s teenagers is just the way they live and survive in high school. Back then they wouldn’t/didn’t need to worry about people not liking them for who they are and girlfriends/boyfriends. But today we do. We have to worry about getting rejected from boys and girls the corresponding gender likes. We also have to worry about people not liking us for who I am. That is why girls wear so much makeup to hide their real faces and their real selves from everybody else. Or why guys act so tough around everyone else and act cool. It also explains why rich people wear such fancy clothes and poor people try to get the fancy clothes rich people wear. Just so they can fit in.
One other thing that is similar to our parents life as a teenager compared to our lives as teenagers is that we both have the same goals, or milestones. we both just want to graduate from high school and move on to get/ have a good life afterwards.

Fuel
We all have things we value. Well at least we think we value. But, what does it mean to value something? What is value? People say that stuff is very valuable. Like memorabilia about their ancestors or sports figures or just something they like/love a lot. So my question to you is what make something valuable to someone?
Its during a game on Friday afternoon. We just made a touch down. Jeff Mackey caught an interception for a 40 yard run down field. We are in the huddle for the upcoming two-point conversation. The linemen are down with their hands on the rugged thigh pads. The backs are slouched over the linemen. The huddle smells like dried sweat and normal wet sweat. It also smells like b.o. and nasty unbrushed breath that is coming out hard. Inside the huddle I hear all the backs and the other linemen exhaling very hard. I also hear the steps the quarterback is taking as he jogs over from the coach to the huddle. The play... “249 sweep.” We all say “break” and clap at the same time. As the sweat drips off our face and lands on our chin straps and drips off of our helmets. The line men get down in the squatting position. The Quarterback, as he reaches into the centers backside, yells “DOWN, SET, HUT!” as soon as that football flinches of the line, the linemen fire off the ball and block for their lives. As the running back get the ball and sprints for the end-zone, a linemen from his team gets in front of him and blocks all incomers for that back. We get the two-point conversation. As we jog back to the sidelines, we celebrate.
Then, once I get to the benches I grab one side of my chin strap and pull it off. Then, I do the same to the other side. Then, I take off my helmet and set it on the ground or the bench. I grab the Ice cold(normally solidified) Gatorade. Either red or blue. I unscrew the orange cap labeled “G Series 01 02 03.” Once I get my lips on it, it flows into my mouth like a melting glacier. As i swallow it I can feel it going down my body. It sends my stomach into a whirling tundra. Its so nerve racking it feels good. Then, I put the lid back on and screw it tight, I set it back down on the bench or I just drop it onto the ground. Once, that is done I grab my helmet slip it back on and snap both sides of my chin strap back on. Now, I turn around and I see the pigskin in the air as the kickoff team is running down the field at 100mph, just to hit the first opposite color jersey they see. Then, once the ball carrier hits the ground The Referee blows is shiny metallic whistle. Then Coach Sabbs Calls for the offense and we all sprint into the first huddle of that offensive series. And, it all happens all over again.
My girlfriend is the most amazing person in the world. She is one of the three things that make me happy; the other two are football and money. She is so amazing. Even after almost a year and a half I still get butterflies before I see her. I even get them while I'm around her. She has long brown hair with blond highlights. As the wind blows, her hair flows in it. It twists and twirls in the wind. If your walking behind her and this happens then more than likely you will get it in your face: it’s like a mini-tornado. When I am with her it feels like the whole world has just stopped. It feels like time has stopped. She is the most amazing thing I have ever met in my life. When I'm with her it feels like nothing could change the mood I am in. Which is normally either excited or ecstatic. There’s nothing on earth that could stop the feelings I have for my girlfriend. Her eyes shine so bright, they are like individual little stars. When I look into them I swear I can see other planets. They shine so bright. I love to look at them. They are the highlight of her facial features.

Our relationship is amazing I think. We love to be with one another. She loves me and I love her. So in my opinion I think our relationship couldn’t get any better. Or, stronger. We’ve had our good times and bad times. But, What couple hasn’t had their problems? We’ve made it through thick and thin. Just like I mentioned before my girlfriend and our relationship are just amazing. I love her so much.
Gatorade means a lot to me. If I didn’t have Gatorade, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do on the football field on Friday afternoons. My girlfriend means a lot to me. If I didn’t have her in my life, I would be lost. Gatorade is so amazing just like my girlfriend. Without Gatorade, I wouldn’t have energy to play football. Without my girlfriend I would be I wouldn’t know what to do next.
Gatorade and my girlfriend, have some stuff in common. They are amazing just by themselves. I don’t need to add anything to them to make them better. They are both just perfect, in every way shape and form. They both, make me feel good inside and out. They, are different as well. Gatorade, I can drink it. I can’t drink my girlfriend. Because you see that would be weird. My girlfriend can hug me and kiss me. Gatorade cannot do either of those things.
You see I think Gatorade and the relationship between me and my girlfriend are very valuable to me. They both do the same things to me. But, in the other hand, they both do different things to me. They are both very important to me in my life. Sometimes I use them both as motivation. I use Gatorade for when I'm on the football field. I also use my girlfriend in life. She propels me to achieve higher goals then I would normally by myself. I love Gatorade and my girlfriend very, very much.

The Night They Will Never Remember
The Contender- James
The Outsiders- Pony-boy Curtis
One night on Town Hall rooftop James was looking over the town of Spongecake. As he was watching he noticed this shadow which seemed to look like a man riding on a horse. So once that caught his attention he spread his arms and jumped of the 50 story building and he glided to the mysterious shadow. once he got to the ground he started jogging and as he was going he started to accelerate. he then caught up the mysterious moving black mass. Yelled at the black mass and it got startled and ran into an even darker alley way. Then James got it corned. As James got closer he realized it wasn't a man on a horse it was a man and a horse some how joined together.
The horse man said to James "Who are you and what do you want with a freak like me?" James didn't reply, but, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a key chain flashlight and shined it on the horse man. James' face was shocked at his finding and looked astounded. "So are you going to answer me stranger? My name is Pony-boy Curtis. I'm from The city of Logitech." said the horseman. James then said "Oh well I'm James. I look over the town after dark. I make sure no unwanted people come in." So once there conversation was over James told Pony-boy his secret hiding place. So they walked to the secret hiding place.
Once they go there they both decided to sit down. Pony Boy said to James "I used to be a gang banger and then once i came here a magical fairy turned me into a Centaur(half man half horse). It took James a couple of minutes to process that. Once he did he just went with it. "Hey you wanna try so awesome juice that makes you feel really good?" Pony-Boy said "sure why not, I'm really down in the dumps so i might as well try some." Then, James got up and walked into a room full of cabinets he opened a cabinet and it was full of glass viles and needles. He put the liquid from the viles into the needle cartridges and did that 4 times. then he walked back into the living room and took Pony-boys horse leg and stuck the needle into his skin. As he did that Pony boy shouted "Owww" gave a big neigh. Then after that he had a very relaxed face. James did that to two of his legs. then he walked over to his chair and sat down in it. Then he did the same to his arms where he could see the veins.
A couple of hours later hey both were asleep suddenly they both woke up stimutainiously. They both got up and stumbled out the door and walked around the town for a while. Then They went to the park to find a bunch of hobo druggies sitting around a fire in the trash can. What they didn't know is that the hobos were doing drugs such as heroin, crack, coke, weed, and were even snorting grinded morphine. So once they got over there the hobos offered it all to them and they did it. After that one of the hobos pulled out four 5ths of vodka and gave one bottle to everybody. so James and Pony boy chugged it. and after about 15 minutes they both were on some type of mega high and they were drunk as well. They both got up and stumbled around town until around 3:30am and found themselves back at James' place.
So once they got there Pony-Boy asked James for some more "magical fluid." So James went back into the room full of cabinets.Grabbed some more viles and needles filled it all with the fluid. James went back into the living room shot some fluid into pony-boy and did the same to himself. After that was all done the called up 1(600)458-2830 which is an adult entertainment place they wanted some adult entertainers to come to there house. So in like half an hour the doorbell rang. So they let them in and had and all morning stand with the entertainers. And when they woke up the entertainers were gone. So they both wondered what all happened that night. But because they were mega high and drunk at the same time they have no idea what happened. All they do remember is meeting each other in the alley and when pony boy woke up he was just a man. They both had massive headaches and were puking every 5 minutes. they had the worst hangover in the world once they finally woke up. At like 3 in the afternoon the both parted their ways as full drug addicts. To this day they still haven't met up with each other.
