Break Up Letter

Its over.

Tattoos

People should get tattoos because its an expression of counterculture, it helps you show people who you are. Sometimes tattoos can be of someone's name, face, or symbol and that shows that person that you love them because you permanently marked yourself for them. People have connected tattoos with their loved ones, their aren't only connected through love but through PERMANENT markings, doesn't that mean something? Others just get it to be different from everyone else. They should get tattoos because they are known as popular, some ignorant people judge you by whether or not you have tattoos and if you don't then your a "loser". Fashion is a big part of why people get tattoos, is it what influences them to get inked. Others mark themselves for memoriable circumstances, a tattoo to always and forever remember that moment. Some people just get tattoos to get them, no reason in the world why.


People shouldn't get tattoos because they are PERMANENT. They shouldn't get them because important jobs require people without tattoos, and persay you have tattoos then you will miss out of great opportunites. Those people that get tattoos for the significant other, are somehow not smart because what if you and the other are not together anymore, what are you suppose to do with it when your done. Specifically girls should not get tattoos on their lower back because it is known as a "tramp stamp". When people grow old their tattoos may get wrinkled and gross, you wouldn't want that would you? Getting a tattoo to make you seem more macho is dumb, it actually proves it differently because it shows that your aren't a man because you don't work good under prue pressure and thats sad.

Coming out

1.) What was a memorable story, quote, or movie you saw?
A memorable quote i saw was from the 15-year old girl from Denton when she said "I asked my dad ' do you think i'm going to hell because im gay' ". This i would never forget because i used to think that being gay only meant you liked and go out with the same sex, but now after hearing her story i think different, its much more deeper than people think. Being gay is something you are, its something that can change people , change the world and change yourself. She felt like what she was, was a bad thing because she was so in touched with god, and she believed that being gay was a sin. After, all her experiences she realized that god would forgive her because thats what she wanted and thats who she was.
A movie i would never forget is about Joel and how she turned herself into a man. This story is memorable because Joel saw a document on transgender people and at that moment he figured that he wanted to live his life as a man. His little brother, constantly asked him if he was a boy or girl and i think that it was hard for him to answer but when he brother gets older he would understand and except him. Joel's experience with his change was actually not that bad because people began to except him right away and call him as he wanted. I think the hardest people to like his change was his parents, and i know this because they didn't call him by Joel but by his female name. However opinated, i believe that Joel is a very brave man to let everyone know who he is and not care what anyone thinks.
A story i think is memorable is the one about how the boy found himself when he was just 6 years old. This was sort of unqiue because the most of the people i know that are gay find out during their teen age years, even though they didnt realize that it was in themselves since probably like birth. Manny was 6 years old, with the attraction to the same sex. He didn't realize what gay meant and after he did, he noticed that that was what he was. His parents didn't except him at first and try to make him change but after a while they realized they couldn't. And the story ended with a happy ending, after all the pain and suffer Manny was finally excepted for who he was and no longer had to hide it. Now, i think its possible to find yourself at any age and you just need to let yourself be because hiding it can be ten times worse then just staying true to yourself.

2.) If you could speak to a group of homophobes, what would you say to them?
I would tell them that its okay to have an opinion, but they shouldn't discriminate against those who like the same sex no matter how much it bothers them. People that are gay, have the same rights as someone who isn't gay. They are regular people, like you and me. Their sexuality doesn't change one bit of personality that they have. Dont judge a book by its cover, take the time to open it up and read it. Some people constantly judge by what they see and miss out on something that is good right in front of them. You have no reason to hate gay people, so don't. Yeah, they are different but everyone's different in their own way but being gay is their difference from everyone else. Except people for who they are and not what you want them to be. Just don't hate someone for what they like, because if it was you, you wouldn't want to be hated. So stop being self-centered and narrow-minded and start seeing things for what they are.

Ayiti

How is ayiti different from 3rd world farmer? how is it the same?
It's different because in ayiti you get to choose what main thing in life you want to focus on like whether it's health, education, money and more. And in 3rd world farmer, the main strategy is to contain a decent amount of money by planting food or buying animals to keep your family alive. Another way it's different is because in Ayiti it gives you the option to go to school and get an education and you know how the health of your family is and in 3rd world farmer its all about the money and how much you have to survive. These to games are the same, because they both show you that you need a strategy that works good for you in order to maintain a decent living and keep your family alive. They both have to do with how you going to spend the money you have to make more.

What strategies did you use?
My strategies were to send the kids to school first and the adults to work, for a season then switch their postions up for the next season. And when i saw that their health points were decreasing i would let them rest at home for a season. This was my strategy but it didn't work really well because the game didn't go so well for me afterwards, i lost a lot of money, and the health points decreased.

Why do parents choose to devote so much effort to sending their children to school? What obstacles did you face in trying to keep them in school?
Parents devote so much time in sending their children to school because even though it may be boring it is important that people have a education because without one how can you get a good job with good pay. The only way to get that is with background knowledge and experience and you get that from school and school is where you get your education. Parents put so much effort to this because they want you to do good , and stay out of trouble , have fun and learn new things. One of the obstacles i faced trying to keep them in school was the decreasement of the money because going to school cost lots of money and without money i wasn't capable of maintaining a decent living.

What would the "lower east side game" look like? What choices would your family have to make ? What obstacles would stand in your way?
The lower east side game would be realistic and more complicated. The choices my family would have to make would be hard ones to balance out health, money, happiness, and education. We would struggle at times but would always pull through. I think if their was such a game i would win it, because it's just like life the decisions you make is what decides your future so choose them carefully.

The break in - boyfriend's story

1. Which answer did you pick first? why?
I picked answer C which was to ask the person first and the reaction would say it all , i picked this answer because the other answers didn't make sense and were dumb. If i thought someone was cheating on me i would just ask them honestly because if i did the only things they would be a waste of time and ruin what me and the person had.

2. I can think of a lot of things people do on line that they wouldn't do in person like;
say "i love you"
break up with a person
sometimes people talk to someone online and when it comes to talking in person they are shy
ask a person out
curse someone out
say bad things about another person
act tough

3. Their is no such thing as privacy online to my opinion because its on the world wide internet anyone can see it and if its not seeable hackers can hack into your page. I would care if my friends know my password because they could put something dumb up there that can hurt someone or even write something wrong about me and other things that would make me regret i gave them the password but on the other hand, it really wouldn't matter because i don't have nothing to hide. I do not have facebook, so i cannot answer this question but when i used to have it yeah i didn't care if people look at my pages like i said before nothing to hide. If you don't want it to be seen then don't put it on the internet.

3rd world farmer

what was life like?

Life didn't go so well in the third world farmer game. I constantly lost money and family members, i didn't make enough money to have a decent living.

Explain your strategy to do well in this game.

um, i don't have a strategy because i didn't do well, i tried my best but the game just wasn't for me so i sucked at it.

What ideas from 3rd world farmer did you get to use for your healthy game?

um , i like the idea if which everytime you plant a food you get money for it so your money increases, and the strategy my healthy game was going to have was that ever time you eat healthy like a fruit or vegetable ypur health points increases.

Sexting is dangerous, and recently i been acknowledged that it's illegal. I know you think that it's cute and cool to send half naked pics to seem like you look sexy but it's really dumb. For the girls, sending naked pic to a boy that you believe you love or like odee is rediculous because usualy it happens to people that only been going out with a person for a short amount of time. Trust me , he probably just want to show it to his boys and be like "oh look what she send me", how embarrassed you going to be. Looking like a smut to your friends along with his. I've seen it happen to someone before. To all girls, take decent pictures that can also be sexy but naked or half naked pictures make u seem trashy. To all boys, having rated r pics in your phone of yourself is homosexual, makes you seem consident, and is disgusting. And having pics of other girls are not as cool as it seems because you can get arrested. You can be sexy without showing to much skin. - Btw; calling people boo is like so 18 b.c && about those pics how about no scotty? You will see what's under the gear when we get married, if we get married. Alright ? Problem, you can solve it and get some hoe to send you pics like that because last time i noticed i ain't no porn star.
