Imagination is the one place we can call our own.
Never let the magic die out of you.
Don't let your dreams stay dreams. Make them happen. Make them reality. You can do it. I know you can.

Does anyone ever listen?!
A few days ago, my class did presentations on problems that people are facing everyday in their lives. Some people did their projects on drugs, teenage pregnancy, bullying, etc...
But I highly doubt that half of the class got anything out of it. The presentations were good, and people did put a lot of thought into it, but I think that the only information and facts that people allowed to flow into their minds, were their own projects that they researched themselves. To everyone else, it was just a school presentation: Pretend to look interested, applaud when the project is over, and then move onto the next class, your thoughts on hanging out after school, or on the latest phone that came out. Nobody really gets too much out of it. I must admit that even I sometimes just forget about all of the other presentations in class, my thoughts on what I'm going to do when I get home. Answer: Write, watch TV, go online, and then write again.
I have decided to put more effort into paying attention in class, because before a few days ago, I never knew all of the circumstances and consequences there are in problems that people have to face every day. My opinion is, even though you are bored of everything going on, (maybe even reading this post), you should pay attention to the world around you. It couldn't hurt, and it's not like your going to die listening to someone's presentation in English class. You may have to fight the urge to fall asleep, but at least have the decency to listen, and take into consideration some of the other stuff that's going on in the world besides the newest cell phone or video game or something.

Life Quote #9- Bullying
Bullying is like making a snowball.
You have to cover up your hurt and pain with another snowball, to keep people from thinking you're weak. And then when you are hurt again, you have to mask your frustration with another coat of snow. And again, and again, and again, until someone throws your snowball, and you can't take it anymore.
If you are a bully, or being intimidated by one, remember this:
Every single action leads to the future. And one tiny twist that you put forth, may end up costing others a tangled emotion.
I pity all of you, who actually believe that hurting people or making fun of others, just to be funny, popular, or reassured, is the right thing to do.
I pity you, because if you keep up with that attitude, it's highly unlikely that you will come across any good people in life, that are willing to tolerate you.
Life is a choice you make. You can continue helping those icy snowballs come to life, or you can melt them with the goodness in your heart.
Your choice.

Life Quote #7
When the going gets tough, the going usually hide under the covers.
One day you'll realize, that the covers aren't on the bed anymore.
