In Lou Kirchen opinion piece, "Bullying", from FOX6 WBRC-TV, the author writes a summary about bullying in which he explains that the bullies should be detected since they are little because if not they would become abusive adults. The victims should tell their parents before it gets worse. Lou talks more about prevention.
In Liza Long’s article, “I am Adam Lanzas Mother” Long, L. (2013) I am Adam Lanzas Mother. The Blue Review, [blog] 12/15/2012, Available at: http://thebluereview.org/i-am-adam-lanzas-mother/ [Accessed: 2nd January 2013]., the author really was trying to make a connection and really write upon the mothers experience on what happened to her child.
As for chapters 7,8 and 9 in “Something Girl” by Beth Goobie, things starts to get real juicy. Sophie was reminiscing on the days her dad never used to harm her and her mom. In chapter 7 her dad beats her real bad. Sophie left and went to her hideout. Her back was killing her she couldn't even move. Her friend jujube found her there and couldn't help but call an ambulance.
In “Something Girl” by Beth Goobie, this book is very interesting because today in life we have people going through what Sophie is going through in life. She gets abused by her father all the time. And her friend Jujube is the only one that really knows what’s going on. Sophie had came in from a date with her boyfriend and she was late for her curfew. So she was scared and when she got to the door her boyfriend dumped her for another girl in school. She was sad but she said that she knew that was coming.
The last thing you ever say to someone will be the least thing they ever remember about you. Your words will always count at the end. I never thought about what i could say until it was too late. I believe that last words are important and can’t be taken back.
Last words are the things that everybody takes time saying. They put a lot of thought into it and all of their heart. But what happens when its unexpected? Then you don’t get the chance to tell them everything on your mind before they go. Last words will always count in the end.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: This doomed love/horror story is set in a post apocalyptic world overrun by zombies. Ralph, the narrator, has just watched a zombie bite his girlfriend, Viola. The story is called The Changing.

He bites her.
Her eyes widen and she clutches her neck, fingering the shredded tissue with disbelief. This can’t be happening, I think. Not to her. She’s a survivor.
Reymundo who was getting beat by his stepfather Pedro is now joined by his mom. As he explains Pedro is uneducated and illiterate. Rey was doing math homework and a few minutes into it Pedro came in and saw what he was doing and just began hitting him about the numbers he was writing, poor Rey begged his mom for her help and she responded in kicks and extension cords, grabbing him by the hair and threatening his life.
Chapters 5-6 in My Bloody Life by Reymundo Sanchez, pages 23-42 talks about how after being so close with Jorge, Noel, and Julio faded because of new stepfather Pedro. After his mothers 2nd marriage had failed due to the job Emilio had and lost he began doing illegal things which later lead to his arrest. Pedro was an illegal lottery ticket dealer who was cool at 1st until his mother yet again had another child, a boy. His attitude changed drastically towards him since his mother yelled not to touch the girls.
My Bloody Life is crazy! It’s based on the author's life growing up. What kind of mother did he have? Why did he defend her after the things she let happen? He gets beaten every day of his life basically, and his mom is a stay-at-home and she mooches off the money her boyfriends and husbands make. She's a gold digger. All she really honestly cares about is her daughters and money. She obviously doesn't care about her son’s well being at all.
Why am I like this?
Why am I relieved when I wish you the worst?
Why when I take time to think about you, I think about your funeral?
I see myself standing at your grave doing stand up while laughing maniacally?
Then suddenly I stop and turn around to look at your grave once more before I leave, and I flip you off.
I laugh some more as I begin to walk away.
As I am walking, I feel at peace because no longer am I tied down by your existence.
But why do I still think of you even though I hate you?
I guess you will never leave me.
Dear Jamee,
How are you doing? I’ve been better. These last couples of months have been hard on me; but you know that. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen you now. Almost a good two and a half years. How’s your baby, Trent? From the picture I’ve seen on Facebook, it looks like he’s getting big!
Anyways. Thank you for that letter you sent me back in December. Your letter on how hard your life has been. It’s such a big weight to know all of your deepest, darkest secrets. A weight; but not a bad weight. It makes me stronger, carrying it all the time. It makes me feel important.
I admire Anthony Turner’s essay, “Trayvon Martin, Unarmed and Innocent,” from http://learning.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/26/on-trayvon-martin-a-guest-p... because he's not a heartless person and actually takes his time to talk about Trayvon. There's no reason somebody's life should be taken away because of how they dress or what other people decide about their personality.
I'm reading Anthony Turner's article, "Trayvon Martin, Unarmed and Innocent," and I agree with him all the way because he makes a lot of sense on what he wrote. I’m wondering how a grown man can take a young adult's life away just because he felt intimidated. In particular what I’m wondering about is why they haven't put the man who killed him in jail yet.
The book I have been reading is really interesting and good so far. I haven't read a whole chapter yet, but I believe it would be a very common topic in which for sure anybody could relate to it. In the world we inhabit, girls go through a lot of stuff involving getting raped by their own parent or a supposedly friend you would call. You cannot walk outside and make every man think you do not care about your life or that you don't know how to defend yourself.
I’m learning more about Japan right now, and in particular what I’m
wondering about is: What is the aftermath of the
“Earthquake&Tsunami”? I was researching this question online, and
"I liked Tony Gentine's powerpoint presentation, "The Causes of the Great Depression", from
