tanning mom gone too far

Recently there has been a story on the news about a mother who is obsessed with getting tanned. She is unusually tan, that she does not even look human. To top it all off she has gotten her daughter into it and he is only 5 years old. People call her crazy and people and insane, and if you think about it she really is. Too much tan can cause cancer and she may not have it now but maybe later down the line she might. Also tanning is not healthy for her daughter because all the radiation for the tanning bed can cause her daughter not to have kids later down in life. This lady is really crazy if she think that it's cute or something but it's really not. Personally I think that the family of the child should take her away from her mother and the mom should go get help. it is not healthy at all, and is kind of freaky to be that bronz. the little girl went to school so tanned that her teacher asked her what was wrong and she told her teacher that her mom took her to a tanning salon. Right away her teacher went to the house and saw that the mom was outrageously another color, she didn't even look human. right now the mother i on trial because to me this is abuse of a child, and it should be stopped.

this i believe

The this i believe i chose was if i don't do it, who will. what I liked about it is in the begining how the lady told how her mother worked for the church, and how her family was. She also talked about how her mom would volunteer. she talked about how she raised money for fundraising, and she figured that if she doesn't do something who will. It really makes since because if you really think about it there are alot of lazy people in this world who expect people to do everything for them, but in reality it doesn't work like that, someone has to do something whether its for free, or not. it got me thinking that when im thinking about doing something good, just to go ahead and do it, because if i don't then it won't get done. I think this authors logic is perfectly correct. From the begining until the end i agreed because it was just great. If everybody in this world had the same idea then a whole lot of stuff would get done and this world would be a better place. This topic is something that everybody needs to catch onto and stop waiting for everyone else to get the job done, we need to come together and not wait for others to accomplish something.

Broadcasting a World of whiteness

The article called Broadcasting a World of whiteness talks about a new tv show on HBO, called "girls". This Show has caused a little controversy because it has gotten people wondering why a new show called "girls" doesn't include all different races of girls, instead of one race of girls. This show should apply to all girls, not just white girls, or black girls, or Hispanic girls, but all girls. I agree with how everyone feels about this show. I believe somewhere in this show there should be a girl of another race.  think that there are not many shows on network television that are diverse because the producers figure that since there are more white people in the world then there should be just white people as main characters in shows. I also think sometimes that when someone is making a show they just don't look for only white actors or actresses, they look for whoever fits the spot best, and if they are all white then that is just a coincidence. I agree with the author of this article when he says that television is not diverse enough, because when you flip the channel all you really see are white people, and I know that there should be more mixed people or people of another race on television. Personally I think that producers should choose different races, but I also think that they don't pay attention to that because once again whoever plays the role the best, get the roles to be on television. I never watched something that I though was racist because when I watch television I don't look for that type of stuff, I watch a show to be entertained.

New Fashion Wrinkle: Stylishy Hididng Gun

This article talks about a new fashion line that combines fashion along with carrying a weapon such as a gun. Its says that even though you carry a weapon, does not mean that you have to look like it or even look a mess. You now can be fashionable and also be packed at the same time. I think that this is outrageously dumb and most clothing companies will not pick this as a fashion to be sold in their stores. I think this is dumb because i can only imagine how heavy the clothes must be be, like for example if you put a holster in your sleeve i can imagine that to be pretty heavy. But i guess somebody will like the idea of this. I think that if everybody in the world carried a gun this would be one crazy world. It would make this world a danger for everybody because there are a lot of crazy people out in this world and if they had a gun it would only cause more trouble. I also think that other companies would not adapt to this clothing line because i mean it's only so much you can do to hide a holster, it also is not meant to be sold in every store because different stores have certain ways that customers look at the store, and if they put gun wearing clothes in it, it might discourage someone from shopping at a specific store. Overall I think this clothing line is foolish.

Afghan Girls, Scarred by acid, Defy Terror, Embracing school

In the article Afghan girls, scarred by acid, defy terror, embracing schools by Dexter Filkins, it talks about people not women to be educated. The story about the girl named Shamsia getting acid poured on her while she was on her way to school is really crazy. The  fact that people don't want girls to be educated is outrageous. But her parents don't let anything stop her from getting her education, they even said that she has to go to school even if she risk getting killed. That statement would have me so scared, that I would never go to school. Also the fact that these people were targeting school, ready to hurt little girls, teachers or even just women period because they are trying to better themselves and get education is crazy. I thought stuff like this didn't exit anymore, but i guess it does. I mean people should be glad that kids and women are dedicating their selves to go and get a education to better them selves.The fact that in a class room that was once full soon became empty is sad. The parents of these girls were scare to send their daughters to school scared of the fact that they could be killed or hurt bad. The government promised police, and a foot bridge across a nearby road, and a bus but they should not have to do all that just to ensure safety on these girls. The main thing should be catching whoever is in charge of this.

man charged after dumping a suitcase full of puppies in alley

this man had a suit case with six puppies in side, and their mother. This suit case was the type of suitcase that you take to the airport, because it was found with tags on it. obviously he forgot to take the tags off. this is really sad because even though he did not physically hurt them he abandoned them and that is just as bad. Some people think that it doesn't matter because they can't talk or that no one will even know or care, but whoever thinks that are totally wrong. people do care and people will find out. the craziest thing about this story is that when the cops arrested him he said that someone had stole his suitcase with the puppies in it, and sat it in the alley. that really didn't make any sense because why would they be in the suit case, and why would someone want to steal a suitcase and six cute little puppies only to put it in the alley for them to die. that story is such a lie. and i'm guessing that the cops didnt believe him either because they charged him with animal abuse, and anybody in there right mind wouldn't believe him either. overall this article was something that touched me because i felt the need that i had to talk about it. stuff like this goes on every single day in america and the cops are not always the first people to find out about it. These puppies were lucky.

the murder of trayvon

on the news there recently was the death of a 17 year old teenager. His name is Trayvon and he was murdered on his way home. According to the man who did it, he looked suspicious. But according to others he was just black , wearing a hoodie over his head carrying a bottle of iced tea and a pack of skittles. Personally I think that it was a form of racism. I think that it was a form of racism because he was not making any threat towards any body, he was not even carrying a weapon. He was just on the phone talking to his girlfriend. He was shot down and killed for nothing. This topic is something that has been trending and had people talking on twitter, facebook, youtube and other networks. The thing that has every one upset is the fact that the guy who did it it not arrested, and he is still walking on the streets free, while an innocent boy is dead. People are protesting and creating a movement. Over the weekend people were walking around Philadelphia with signs and wearing hoodies to show that they will not rest until this murderer is behind bars. People are especially worried because there are alot of boys that walk down the streets wearing hoodies and this situation is just saying that they could be next and there is a possibility that this man will have the same excuse and get away free. This should not be left quiet.
