Do you feel the word "Nigger" is abused to much? Well I do, and my teacher Ms.Griffith does also. She is constantly reminding students that the word is inexcusable and should not be used at all. I can tell that the word gets under her skin because every time the word is said or used to refer to a friend or fellow peer, her nose flairs and she began to yell "That is an inappropriate word. I guess being an african american and the way it was verbally used in the old days reminds her of all the negativity and mishapps of the real meaning. I don't know why this word makes so many people upset if it is used to get the attention of the young folks and not to be disrespectful. Maybe some day I would really know how it feels to be aggervated by the "Nigger" word or saying

Seeing is Believeing

You know the famous saying or quote "Seeing is Believeing" well it is so accurate and I always go by this little quote now. Some people tend to lie a lot and if you dont see the proof yourself then you shouldn't really acknowledge it but if you just so happen to see the proof yourself then you act on your own instincts instead of some one elses'. This is the case with many people but what are you supposed to do when the eyes fail you, well you get someone elses trusty eyes to do your jod for you, but only if you are there to accompany that person. As long as you see the proof yourself seeing is always believeing instead of hearsay because hearsay always seem to make problems or matters worse.

Bad-news Friends

Today I woke up and I felt and I felt it was going to be a good day. My train ride to school was long and tireing, although the train was crowded i managed to get here before second period begun. As my day progressed along fine I was sitting in my fourth period class when I recieved shocking news. One of my best girl freinds told me that a previous boyfriend was not talking kind of me, it hurt me because I had deep feelings for this boy but it seems as if he didn't feel the same. Break ups are hard but being a female we can gireve for a while but adventually get over it quick. Like my mother always told me "There are always more fish in the sea". I know I'll get over it but i just dont know when. Just like the tattoo I have he will always have a permanent place in my heart
