STRUGGLES

Throughout life there will always be struggles that we must go through. Some of them wil hurt us badly some will not. Either way we make it through to the other side. When going through a struggle sometimes we tend to give up and not try to deal with it. But, by doing that we make it harder on ourselves. We make ourselves appear weak. For those who don't give up are strong at heart and don't quit even in the worst of times. Some of the struggles people face are school, work, family, and friends. School to me is something hard to deal with but, I don't let it consume me. I keep my grades up and try to stay on top on homework, while also trying to get good grades on quizzes and tests. Work isn't something I have to deal with but, from friends and family I know its hard. The way coworkers and soem managers treat you is ridicous. And the work hours and wages also add to struggles in the job area. Family to me has the most difficult struggles. Parents put so much pressure on you and expect so much that it causes problems. They get really upset when you do the smallest of things. That causes you to get in arguments with your family and other things. When families can't solve their disputes some families end up breaking apart and some never come back together. A struggle not so hard as family that people go through is friends. Why is it that friends put you thought so much? Some people can't deal with it and hurt themselves more than others hurt them. Friends end up going through struggles when one of them may lie to the other or betray the other in some way or another. I guess the world can't be perfect so we must deal with struggles we have now and tackle those in the future.

Mother's Day Poem

I love you mother

You were always there for me

From childhood to teenhood

And you"re still here now

So today is the day you will be recognized

For all your work

For all the hard times I put you through

For all the times you cared for me

Nourished me

And raised me

You're a wonderful woman

There is no mother I would want over you

And because of that reason

I love you mother

OPEN HIGH GIRLS

What is the best thing God gave man? What makes school more interesting? What makes life so much more fun? GIRLS,GIRLS GIRLS. There is so much about girls that I like. I don't even know where to start because there is so much. Well ever since my first day at Open MOST of the girls there are cute and it's like every time you look around there is a sexy girl walking around doing something. In my other schools there were cute girls but I mean, the girls here just point blank good lookin. Or maybe it's just cause people are older so they look better. I don't know but, there are plenty to chose from. i don't think a guy at Open should ever be upset over a girl unless it is hard for them to get a girl. When it comes to me and the girls of Open I wouldn't say it's hard for me to talk to them or anything but I'm just shy and I shouldn't be. If you mess up with one then go to the next but, even after realizing that my shyness holds me back. That's why when it's normal for a guy to talk to a girl first I like it to be the other way around. It's funny when i think about it but, I don't know how to get rid of my shyness. I don't want to force myself to talk but is that the only way? Other than the fact of talking to a girl at Open lets get back to the part of how they look. All I can say(Most of the time) is sexy ladies, sexy ladies. I love their style and how they act and how they talk and how they look at you and so much other stuff. The girls here are too much. Most of them are cool to hang with even though there are bad qualities in them but, everyone has a bad quality in them some where. Most of them aren't fake at least most of the time. I don't think I would like Open at all if there weren't any cute girls here. They bring more fun into being at school with other people who aren't fun at all. They allow you to enjoy life for what it is. When I see girls with a positive attitude all the time I find that really sexy. When Open girls do the things they do I find myself everyday just gazing at them as they pass me in the hallways. Now that the weather is getting hotter I really find girls looking too sexy. What else is there to say? There was one girl that was at Open that I really found sexy. Megan was one fine girl I swear she was. Why did someone that sexy have to leave? Now I can't even talk to her anymore. I wish we could have grown closer than what we did. Whenever I think about how a relationship would be with some of the girls at Open I think most would make a good girlfriend because they  don't seem like girls who would go cheat on you. I want to go into detail about chicks I think are cute but I don't want to disappoint anyone. What else, what else? I don't know anything else but, for all those guys at Open High if you aren't talking to any girls then you have some mad serious issues...

YOU DON'T KNOW ME

Isn't it crazy for someone to tell you that you act like someone else? Especially when people that don't even know you well try to say that. I've had a couple of times where people tried to say that about me but, the truth is, is that people who don't like how you act try to find a reason for why act like that and just say anything. I'm not the same person as anyone else  whether we have similarities or not. People say things about you that aren't even true and they know it but, still just say it to say it. Why? Some of  my peers seem like they don't like it when you change but, when they change things about them its alright. I don't care what they think but they get annoying when they complain about little stuff like that. If they don't like how I act then can't they just stop talking to me and being my friend? Or do they just want to complain about nothing? Kids don't realize when they act like they know you and they really don't. If you have your ups and downs with a person and you start acting different towards them then there shouldn't be any problem with you being different but, there are people who don't understand. They don't understand the meaning of change or the reason of change but, they won't even try. They just tell you that they don't like it. And when you haven't even changed but, you just show that side of you one day why do people assume that you all of a sudden changed? When will people stop assuming and accept you for you instead of all this crying about nothing?

WHERE IS THE RESPECT??

Why is it that the people that you are better friends with than anyone else are the people who don't respect you. You can't be friends with someone who can't treat you like you want to be treated. And the part about that that is even worst is when they get mad if you do the same thing back to them. I HATE when people do that. When ever people do that to me I always catch an attitude with them because it's so annoying. Also when I have people that act different towards you when they are around other people. Like if I'm hanging out with someone then someone else they know comes over to where we are and the friend i was hanging with at first just changes their whole attitude and starts saying smart remarks towards you. Even though they say that they are playing. So to prevent myself from being mad I'll try to tell the person about it but if they keep denying it then I'll eventually just stop talking to them. If you can't respect me then don't talk to me because I don't have time for immaturity from my peers. Why don't people see it when they don't show others respect? Are they truly blind of seeing it or do they not even care about the other person. Verbally disrespecting someone is one thing but if someone ever disrespected physically like knocked something out of my hand or pushed me I would definitely not give them much of a chance to stop as I would if they just said something through words. But, for fact usually I would hit someone for doing something like that for no reason. For those out there that I know who don't show me the respect I show them i will have to start treating them badly if they can't change and i have no problem with that.

BE GRATEFUL

Why is it that ever time I look at what people do the word grateful pops into my head? And I'm not saying that they are grateful it is the fact that they aren't grateful. People always look at what they don't have but, why don't they look at what they do have. I am usually grateful for things I have and most of the itme you won't see me saying "I wish I had that" or "I want that" because I like what i have. The fact is that everyone doesn't even have and would love to have it. All of my possesions could be gone at anytime but they are still here which is good so if I started wanting more and more things without an end what would that mean about me. I don't mean to be a hypocrite because I need to say "thank you" more than I do but, why do people think that would they have is garanteed? I do things for people and sometimes they don't thank me. So what do I do? I stop doing it for them to see how they feel. The only way for me to deal with someone who isn't thankful is to stop providing for them. I don't have to do anything that I don't want to but people won't see it until I don't provide for them. Maybe that's what should happen to them just to show and prove that they should be grateful or they will have nothing. Everyday isn't garanteed for anyone so why aren't people even thankful for that. They might say they are but, I beat that some those Christians out there don't thank God for everyday that he gives them. People need to change and for the better of them or misfortunes may happen to them. When I do something for someone and may want something in return that isn't that serious, why do they take it that way? Do they not know how it feels to really owe someone something? In the end being grateful will definently make life better.

MISTAKES

Whenever I look back at the past I realize that I have made so many mistakes that it doesn't make sense. Then I ask myself "Why did I do that"? I don't know why I did some of the things that I have. Plus they end up hurting me which causes me even more confusion. If i ever had the chance to go into the past and chose what and what not to do I would definently take the oppurtunity because life would surely be different without mistakes. Relationships and other things could be better, and I could have things in my possesion that I wouldn't have had before. Sometimes I get upset just thinking about all of that because I didn't have to do those things but I chose to. And some of my choices were very stupid ones. Ones that could have changed alot to make things better but, instead made things alot worst for me. I've said the wrong things to girls and friends in general. Some people that I know I should have never met because all they do is cause trouble for you. If it was ever possible to see the outcome of everything life would be so much easier. I wouldn't have to worry about people being mad at me or me being mad at people. Things that I have had would still be here and i may have even gained something from not making any mistake. Life can be so hard on you because of the fact that you must carry the burden of your mistakes all your life. It isn't easy at all. i wish my mistakes would all go away but, the fact is that it won't so I need to try my hardest to forget about my mistakes and move on. maybe mistakes aren't that serious and I'm taking it in the wrong way. Either way life goes on and i need to realize the mistakes are a part of life and will continue to happen to me for as long as I live. I'm not perfect so whatever happens just happens and theer isn't anything i can do about the past so the only thing i should be focused on is the future and the present.

CLINOPHOBIA

Clinophobia-fear of going to bed

Little 5 year old Charlie was a good child. he always made his parents and the rest of his family happy. Whatever they wanted him to do it was done but, whenever it was time to go to bed he always started pouting and crying and yelling "I don't want to go to bed" at his parents. They were always puzzled about why he didn't want to go to bed. Everytime they asked him he would never tell them and just stare at them with a look of fear in his bright blue eyes. One dark stormy night Charlie and his parents were all in the family room watching tv when they noticed it was Charlie's bedtime. He had already taken a bath so he was going straight to bed. As Charlie's mom reached for him he began crying. "Mommy don't make me go" said Charlie with tears shooting out of his eyes. "If you don't go to bed right now msiter I'm going to beat you" yelled Charlie's mom. His mom took him to his room and tucked him into bed after both of them said their prays. "I love you dear and goodnight" the mom said as she left the room. Charlie's heart started pounding as he watched his mother take every single footstep out of his room. Once his mother was out of sight he pulled the cover over his head. Charlie could have sworn something rubbed his foot at the bottom of his bed. So he raised his feet up to his chest shaking with fear. That's when he though he heard the words "CHARLIE" coming from his closet. Something was trying to get him. Something evil wanted poor little Charlie. "MOM" yelled Charlie. After a few moments the room light was turned on and his father and mother stood at his door. "What's wrong Charlie" asked his parents. "Something called my name" said Charlie crying again. "Look son you have to face your fears no matter how scared you are sometimes. Otherwise it will always affect you" Charlie's father said as he sat beside Charlie on his bed. "Now go to bed and just concentrat on going to sleep" After saying that Charlie's parents left the room after telling him goodnight and giving him a hug. The lights went off and the cover went up and over Charlie's head once again. "CHARLIE I SEE YOU" said a voice coming from the closet. That's when Charlie's father's voice popped back into his head and he decided to face his fears. So Charlie hopped out of bed and walked towards his closet. "I'm not afraid of you" Charlie said with bravery. Charlie took another step towards the closet before being snatched in. Charlie's parents were never going to see him again.

MATURE & IMMATURE

There are two strong adejectives that seperate teenagers from other teenagers in high school. Those two adjectives are mature and immature. Whenever teenagers compare themselves to other teenagers they usually look at the fact about being one of the two. If you look at teengers as a whole in my opinion immature counts for way more people than mature. I can go to school everyday and find someone immature. Why are people immature anyway? Should we blame it on their parents or do they act immature for their own reasons? Some people don't mind immaturity but I can't stand it. Immature people only make you mad and annoyed with their childishness. Even though I can't stand immaturity I have to put up with it everyday because some people around me act immature. I guess I can stand it from some people but with others it is uncalled for. Relationships would be alot easier if people were mature. You wouldn't have to worry about them doing something only a kid would do. I can admit there are some mature people around me at school but sometimes it's just like they switch from mature to immature then back again. It's like they go through a cycle. There are maybe a few people that I know that remain mature constantly, or maybe I just haven't seen them act immature yet. if I'm in a romantic relationship with a girl and she a started acting immature with me that would turn me off. You can't expect people to like you for acting immature. And if they say that I should like them as they are then I'll just simply tell them I don't like who they are. I only put out with immaturity to a certain extent. Sometimes I lash out on people and they seem to not understand why I lashed out. That shows that some people don't realize they are immature so that's why it's good to tell them. I can sometimes be immature but I try my hardest to maintain a state of maturity so I can look good and not childish in the eyes of others.

MY LIFE

Today was the scariest day of my life. I found myself shaking nervously and even crying after an incident right in front of the Virginia War Memorial. This is how it all started from my point of view. After being told that all students that weren't interviewing people had to leave I made my way to the bus stop with my upperclassmen friends. Everything was going fine. We were playing around and laughing with each other. That's when I had realized that i needed a bus ticket, which if I was going to get I would need to walk all the way back to the school. Instead of me going, my friend Dominique decided that he was going to run back to the school just to get me a bus ticket. So while he was doing that I was just hanging out on the small walls right in front of the Virginia War Memorial while the other people at the bus stop were a little ways behind talking to each other. Then all of a sudden I turn my head to my left only to see a car flipping in mid-air. Glass rained as the car windows broke. And not only that but, right afterwards the steel pole right there at the bus stop fell on top of the car. Through out the whole time i was watching I didn't know what to do. I just stared and watched while slowly backing up in shock. I had never seen any car accident before but today that changed. Since I'm a Christian I believe that if it wasn't for my strong belief in God i would probably have died or been seriously hurt because that pole didn't land on the car on its own. It was God that did that for me. Once the pole had hit it was a quick second before anyone responded. Then i saw Megan and Jordan walked by me walking towards the messed up car. It was a Caucasin woman in the vehicle that Jordan helped out. After seeing Jordan do that i have like the upmost respect for that guy because i don't think i really would have helped as quick as he did if at all because of how shoken up I was. After the woman got out of the car and sat down I walked over to her and asked her was she okay. The first time I asked her she just looked at me. I could see the fear in her eyes. Once I asked her the second time she finally responded "Yeah but I don't know what happened". After a little way help finally came and they taped off the area. For a while I just stayed at the bus trying to get myself together. That's when i finally gave the situation some real though. What if the car flew at me? What if the pole hit me? I was the only person right who was the closest to the accident which really put me in jeopardy. If I had died right then and there in front of all my friends my life would have been all for nothing. I haven't accomplished anything really major since I'm not an adult yet so if I die all things i have done,all the people I've met, all the things I've said would have all been for nothing. My dad has always told me that I'm not grateful but after that I can see what he meant. So now I am grateful. I am grateful for every little thing that happens to me. I am a tough guy and all but after witnessing something like that then realizing that I should be more grateful made me cry. It made me think about the fact that I could have died but, I didn't. I even started crying more when I though about my family because today could have been the day I never saw them again. While i tried to collect myself my friends were there by my side trying to comfort me. i really appreciated that because it showed me that I chose the right people as friends. After staying at that bus stop for a while I walked to the other one with Dominique planning on catching the 71 K-mart. I wanted to get home as soon as I could but I wasn't able to get myself together. The thing that kept coming into my head was that i could have died but I'm still here. I'm still alive. Then tears came down my face once again. That's when my junior friend Jessica came to me and gave me comfort. After noticing that I was still sad and crying a bit Dominique decided to call my mom and tell her to pick me up at school. When we got back to school we waited in front of it until my mom came. Once she picked me up and told her what happened and she took me home. When i got home my mom told me to get some rest so while i did that I decided to think about my life and all the mistakes I've made. After being in this incident my father won't have to worry about me not being grateful anymore because I will and that's a promise. ....

THE NEW GIRL

The new girl at school walked by heading to her nice o'clock english class as Jason and Andrew stared at her. She was brown skin with medium lenght hair, red cherry lip stick, body like a goddess and a walk like a model. Shawty was a TEN. Jason and Andrew pratically feel in love with the girl. She was the sexiest girl they had ever seen. It was the second semester at Oakfield High and the year was almost over and they were still single."You know what Andrew I bet you I'll get her number before you. And you have to get it before the end of today" said Jason. For some reason Jason was always trying to compete with Andrew over everything but Andrew was never the type to back down so he took the bet. After the bell rung Jason and Andrew made their way into the class to find out that the new girl was also in their class. She was sitting in the corner by the air conditoner right beside Jason's assigned seat. As the guys took their seats Jason and the new girl met eyes right before he sat down. " I'm pretty sure she is finding me quite attractive" Jason said to himself. Once jason sat down he spook to her."Hey you're the new girl, what's your name boo" said Jason. "Hi I'm Keosha Brown, what's your name" said the girl looking Jason smiling. " I'm Jason""So I know you haven't been here long but how are you liking the school so far" Jason asked. Keosha was about to answer but was interrupted as the teacher started teaching the class. For the rest of the class period the two ddin't say a word as they paid attention to the teacher but, that didn't mean they ddin't take a look at eachother every now and then. After the end of class Jason and Andrew started talking to eachother in the hallway but the new girl. "I saw you trying to spit the game to her" said Andrew. Jason responded "Her name is Keosha and she seemed pretty cool". "Well you keep on thinking you're going to get her number but next class period I'm going to talk to her and I bet you she wil like me over you" said Andrew. They made their way to their ten o'clock geometry class. To their luck Keosha made her seat right in front of the desk they sat in which made her easy acess to talk to. "I guess it's my turn to talk to her" said Andrew. "Yeah whatever Mr.Playa go do your thing" responded Jason. Over the course of that period Andrew got even closer to Keosha than Jason did.  "What is he saying to her that I'm not" Jason asked himself as he watched Andrew and Keosha talk as they did their class work. Over the next 5 minute break Andrew and Jason met up in the hall way once again. "After I get her number i want you to call me Mister Andrew for now on" said Andrew. "Andrew you must be crazy telling me to call you that" Jason shot back. Shortly after, all students walked to their eleven o'clock class. Jason and Andrew were in Spanish class but, unluckily Keosha wasn't in the class with them. Instead she was in a French class. The guys spoke to each other as they did their Spanish classwork. "Well i guess it's my turn" said Andrew showing Jason a smile to get him upset. "No it isn't because who ever said we were even taking turns talking to her?Not me." said Jason. "Oh so you're trying to be like that. Well fine i guess we won't be taking turns so don't expect me to let you get alot of time in with here" responded Andrew. "Fine the same thing goes for you then" Jason said back with a anger face.

TO BE CONTINUED.......

SIBLINGS

If you have a younger brother or sister haven't you ever gotten to the point where you said no more? Haven't you just gotten so sick and tired of them that you wish they never existed? I have two little sisters and they drive me crazy most of the time. No matter how much I don't want to I find myself argueing with at least one of them everyday. I don't like to argue, especially with little kids but they aways end up pushing me to the limit with their constant childishness. Why can't they act more like me. Why can't they stop being so annoying? I don't know if they realize how anger they make me but they should because sometimes I wish they weren't even here. Besides the fact about how mad my sisters make me they still are good siblings. Sometimes when I'm down they are there to cheer me up. Plus my sisters always show how much they care for me. They aren't the best siblings but I still love them for who they are. It is good they are who they are because I won't have to see them acting up most of the time and they don't go around doing things they shouldn't be doing. I wouldn't be the same person without my sisters. They have really put forth the work into shaping who I am today from their annoyingness to their sweetness. I love my sisters and I never want to lose them.

ANGER MANAGEMENT

It was one o'clock in the afternoon at Rookridge High and a teenager named Matt Anderson was on lunch break and needed to turn in some homework. The problem was Matt forgot to do his homework the day before because of staying up talking to a very close friend on the phone. He had forgotten that the homework assignment was a report that needed to be turned in on time or else his grade for the class wouldn't be good. Matt only had an hour to do a whole report on genetic engineering. So he didn't go to the cafeteria that day but, insted he went to the computer lab to do his report. When he reached the computer lab to his surprise the teacher Mr.Gallwell wasn't in there. "The guy must be somewhere else for lunch today" Matt said to himself. So he wouldn't be able to use the lab. "Oh well I'll have to try another class." Matt walked to the Math classroom to see if he could print the report. Matt was in luck the teacher in there named Ms.Elizabeth granteed him acess to the computer. While Matt was typing up his report Ms.Elizabeth had to leave for lunch so she told him to close the door when he was done if she didn't come back in time. After Matt typed his report he clicked save then click print after turning on the computer. Once Matt sat there for a moment he realized the icon on the printed was flashing because it needed more paper."OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!" yelled Matt to himself pulling his hair. "Well maybe she has some paper in her desk somewhere." matt searched and searched the teacher's desk but didn't find any paper for the printer. "You know what forget printing the project I'll just ask Mr.Cobb(the teacher who gave him the assignment) to come take a look at it." Later that evening after lunch break was over Matt made his way to class bumping into friends along the way. He walked inside the room and took his seat followed by the rest of the students. "Take out your reports!" said Mr.Cobb to the class. That's when Matt raised his hand and told Mr.Cobb that he couldn't print his report because Ms.Elizabeth ran out of paper. "Well Mr.Anderson that's no excuse because you could have went down to the office and got some from the secretary.So just for that you get a zero and your grade for this class will most likely be an D or an F" said Mr.Cobb. Matt was fueled with rage after hearing those words. He got up out of his chair and said "LOOK YOU IDIOT I DID MY REPORT AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE ME A ZERO THEN IM GOING TO GIVE YOU A BLACK EYE!!!!" right before running up the tall elderly man. What happened after that would change Matt Anderson's life for ever.

It Finally Snowed

It has been a long time since we have gotten a real good amount of snow. I looked outside the window Sunday night and saw that there was a lot of snow. I was glad because I have wanted snow for a while so it could get me out of school. And to my luck that's exactly what it did. We didn't have to go to school for three days which mad the week pass by really fast. Over the days that we had out of school I have been outside having fun with my family. We have had a lot of snowball fights with each other. We had planned to build a snowman but we never did. I didn't even want to really because I didn't know how. if we had got any more snow then i probably would have had even more fun than i did and I wouldn't have had to go to school. the rest of my family seemed to enjoy the snow as much as I did. They didn't even want to go back to school. if we could ever get snow like this again it would be great because everyone could go have even more fun than what they did over this short break.

Relationships

One thing a lot of people today have on their minds is relationships. Relationships are one of the most complicated things if you are someone that likes to talk to people. Sometimes relationships with people are easy but, with some people they aren't so easy. It really takes a while to develop a nice strong relationship with some people because not everyone will trust you or even be comfortable with you in some situations. Also trying to develop a relationship will show the true side of that person and not just what you see on a daily basis. Sometimes when relationships cause problems people just give up and want it to be over with right away but, they shouldn't. I guess i could understand giving up a relationship with some things but, if you have had a relationship for a while i think people should try their hardest to make it right. And if they can't then the only thing left to do is move on and forget about the past. Some relationships you have to live without. I used to deal with the problem of having bad relationships and wanting to fix them all the time but I realized that with some people it is best to leave them alone. All relationships don't have bad endings but how can you ever tell which one will? The answer is looking at how many ups and downs you have had in the relationship. Too many of those means that you obviously aren't meant to be so what pushes people into still wanting a relationship? People worry to much about relationships that aren't anything too important. I'm sure most people have had a friend or two where the relationship was messed up and you wanted to make it better but there really is no need. Plus there are many other people everywhere that you can start making relationships with.

MY PET PEEVES

There are some things that I can stand but there are other things that no matter how hard I try I just can't put up with. I call these things my pet peeves. The first thing I really can't stand is hypocrites. Why would anyone tell you not to do something that they would turn around and do? It doesn't make sense. Another one of my pet peeves is a person that becomes a habitual liar. It tears me up on the inside when someone lies to me. It gets to me even more when you know they are lying and they simply deny it. I don't believe friends should every lie to one another. If they do then that makes them fake. That leads me to my next pet peeve which is fake people. Most people these days seem like they're fake with the lying, turning their backs on you, not speaking to you, not being trustworthy. Jealousy is something else that gets on my nerves because being jealous in my opinion doesn't help a situation. And it just gets in the way of the friendship. I don't like it when girls take their jealousy problems out on me because its like they are acting very immature. My last most important pet peeve is self-centered people. Have you ever in your life talked to someone and all they talked about was themselves? I sometimes have to deal with people like that and it gets on my nerves because I want to talk about other things but, people are just so into themselves. It's always their life...their life...their life. I wonder if they ever get tired of talking about the same thing over and over again. How can you even expect to have a really nice relationship if you don't get to know the person? well these are all my pet peeves...I hope the people that do these things that know me stop before they lose their friendships.

The Power of Imagination

What's the thing in life with no limits? What is it that everyone creative has? We call it imagination and it affects life in every way possible. Without imagination where would we all be in society? Everything would be the same and ordinary. Nothing would be the same without the power of imagination. Some of the ways life is affected by imagination is through technology, art and even education. How can people get a better education if all schools were just regular schools that were for kids smart and not so smart? How would we be living without the invention of vacuums or the Internet? Imagination changed the world in many ways people really don't realize. It makes life easier for everyone. Imagination even shapes the world today and it will continue because it is truly limitless. Everyone has imagination in them they just have to bring it out. if everyone contributed some of their imagination we would be able to make the impossible possible and create a different atmosphere. An atmosphere where no one would think that their ideas were unwanted and the world would be like a paradise. 
Some ways I use my imagination is completing things at school or even drawing and writing on my spare time. With imagination I'm creating ways to create and get things done. President Barack Obama uses his imagination helping our country with its troubles. Even some of the smallest things that you realize involves imagination actually does. Throughout the rest of every ones lifetime imagination will only get more creative and we will definitely see that as it changes the world.

WHAT IS FEAR REALLY?

What comes to mind when you think of the word fear? Is it really being scared or is it just not having confidence in yourself? With some situations fear really holds people back from what they want to do. Whether it's performing or even just talking to that girl that you have been wanting to talk to. What makes people so afraid of things that they aren't sure will have a bad outcome? If people really have confidence in their selves with what they do then what holds them back? There are so many questions about fear but the answer is truely that we don't believe in our selves to a certain extent. Some of the things that help get rid of the feeling of fear are peer pressure and even the frustration of having fear inside of you. People should realize that, with fear inside of them how could they ever hope to accomplish goals in life. How can they ever talk to that girl or even with their only chance perform that play? Fear affects so many people but is their away to prevent it? What makes people so afraid anyway?Is it just being scared of the unknown or has it developed from having low-selfestem. For the people who have fear from low-selfestem were probably picked on alot growing up and it really hurt them and put them in the position where they don't feel like the things they do will really look good in the eyes of others. And for the people being scared of the unknown should learn to give things a try. Not everything has a bad outcome.
