"Insensitive"

A few days ago one of my friends ended up not having a ride home from school and she had to walk home instead. She wasn't very fond of the idea so I decided I would be a good friend and walk her home so she wouldn't have to be alone on her walk.

Of course I thought I was doing the right thing but instead of being thanked I was just yelled at about how she didn't have such a good day. I understand that she needed to let out her feelings but she didn't have to make me feel like I was the one to have done something wrong. She even complained about how she was hungry and how I should of brought money to school just so I could buy her something to eat.

But she isn't the only friend like that. One girl who texts me every once in awhile only because she wants to tell me something that she can't tell anyone else told me that I'm "insensitive" because when I "think" a girl is being "mean" or rude to me like the one above it's only because I'm upset about something myself.

Yeah I am upset, it would be nice to receive a thank you every once in awhile when I do something for someone. I'm not saying that only girls do this but none of the guys I know do this while most of the girls I do know do.

It's annoying when people try to put all the blame on someone that deserves none of it and especially when a "friend" who I'm trying to help does that to me.

My Favorite class

A few days ago I had to write about my favorite class, so I did and here it is:

My favorite class is my sixth period Advance Digital Editing class. The reason I like this class the most is because I'm a producer of the show and my co-producer is always in class and never complains that I never share the work or tell him what's going on. I also like how all of my students do all their work as soon as they are told to and that they come out with beautiful packages that they give their all on and include all the elements they need for a basic package because it's not like the school just shoved random freshmen who never taken a t.v. production class before in my ADVANCE digital editing class. I also like how all the students quiet down when they need to and work together like they are suppose to instead of always fighting with each other and coming to me with all their problems that I don't suppose to be dealing with. And that's why my favorite class is my sixth period Advance Digital Editing class.

Wrath of the Titans

Every once in awhile I'll go to the early morning five dollar special at the movies near my house on Saturdays when I have nothing else to do and go see a movie. A few weeks back I went and saw The Immortals, which was a pretty alright movie dealing with the Greek gods and afterwards talked about it with a friend who worked at that theater.

But while I was talking with him I learned some terrible news that I couldn't believe at first. He told me that a new movie titled "Wrath of the Titans" was to be coming out soon.This movie is a sequel to the fail of a remake to the "Clash of the Titans" that came out a year or two back and I was surprised to hear this.

I mean, I would have understood them making a sequel if the movie had actually did any good in 2010 when it came out, but it was horrible. It was totally different than the original movie and how everything happened was so boring and just plain wrong.

It's going to basically have the same cast as before with some new characters along with a new director so it may not be as bad as the first one hopefully. Also, they're apparently already planning on having another one coming out some years after this one so lets hope they go up hill from the first movie.

But to tell you the truth, even though this movie might turn out to be horrible in the end I'm probably going to go and see it anyways. It's something about the Greek gods, how could I miss it?

Mistakes and the News

So apparently a certain person who works at my school got into some trouble last night and everyone at school was talking about it today. It was also all over the web since his position is what it is, but I didn't pay much attention to it because everyone makes mistakes.

Well, during seventh period today I had to go to the bathroom in the front of the school because the one I usually used was locked. Before I walked in I noticed a certain news van (not saying any names) parked outside my school's gates. At first I didn't think much about it but then I realized why they were out there: to get students to talk about what happened.

Walking back up I thought about what they were doing. It's wrong, why come and prey on the students of high schools about bad things like this? By doing this you are only adding to our schools already bad reputation when we aren't actually all that bad school.

Why couldn't they come and cover the One Acts Festival that our schools drama club held last Friday? They couldn't wait outside the school to ask students how they felt about our school going to states to preform their one act? Why not a story on our schools magnet programs and the good things we do at school?

I understand that he is suppose to be a role model for us students but everyone make mistakes. And by making this mistake he can tell us not to do it since he experienced the consequences for what happens when you make these mistakes.

So I got two more things to say before ending this: students and parents should stop making this such a big deal and move on with their lives and that certain news crew needs to stop preying on high school students and find better news to report.

Silent Protesting

I learned many things during my years at school: I learned about my countries history, I learned that A2 + B2 = C2 and I learned that silent protesting gets you no where if you don't do it right.

It's not that I have a problem with any of the causes that people are supporting but the way most people do it is just not logical. What is putting tape over your mouth and not talking to anyone for a whole day suppose to do? Oh sorry, I almost forgot that we all are psychic and can read each others minds so when we want to know their cause for being silent we can just read their minds.

Come on you guys, we got poster all over talking about how "silence hurts" and telling us to speak up about whats going on. If you're going to be silent about a protest then at least wear a sign or carry cards or something that will be able to tell people who see you why you are doing what you are doing.

But I guess being silent is the answer now since the first amendment right which gives of the freedom of speech and assembly don't really matter any more since it's so old. Plus who needs to talk when we can just read each other minds?

Pride and Prejudice

So my AP English Lit teacher has been forcing us to read a little book by the name of Pride and Prejudice. It's basically about a bunch of girls who want to be married off and how much their lives suck.

To tell you the truth I was actually looking forward to reading the book at first when my teacher was talking about the book before we got them. I also remembered how I had a lot of friends who have read the book before and liked it so I thought I would probably like it too.

But what I didn't realize at that time was that just about all of those friends of mine who read and liked the book were girls and many didn't have the same taste in books as me.

Anyways after reading the first chapter of the book for the third time, I realized that this wouldn't be a fun book for me. The word choice, sentence structure, giving characters multiple names without telling the reader and constant talk of marriage really messed with my head. I couldn't take it all down and after awhile I kind of didn't even care anymore.

I know that there might be a lot of people who might like the book, for some odd reason, out there and I got no problem with that. Just don't start talking about it in a group with me unless you want me to complain about it.

Being a Teen

I'm seventeen right now and I'll be eighteen in a few months so I've been a teenager for about five years now. But a certain adult that I have to deal with every once in awhile sees us in a different way then we are.

According to this woman, all teenagers are bad. All teenagers go out with friends to smoke weed and get drunk. All teenagers are in gangs and go out and pick fights with people. All teenagers go out and party to have sex and do drugs. All teenagers disobey their parents and steal from them. All teenagers use their money on clothes and jewelry and tattoos and nothing useful.

I'm pretty sure that all teenagers are not like this. I know I'm not and I don't know any one person who does all of this stuff. I understand that we teenagers are not the very best people but that don't mean we don't anything good.

I'm tired of being looked down on because of my age, that my every move needs to be watched because I'm young. That nothing I do can or will be right and everything I do is wrong. I'm tired of my generation of teens not getting the credit that we deserve for the stuff that we do.

But I guess since adults are always right the stuff she said is true about all teens and I guess since I don't do any of that stuff that I must not be a real teen at all.
