I am that generation. I am the up and coming. I am part of the generation of the Internet's birth. I am part of the generation that has ended real life. I am growing up in a generation where everyone knows everything about everyone. I can find out anything from someone's birth date, to their bra size, with a few clicks of th... More..

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Understanding 'EMO' and its musical appeal
10 of 25

Well first off I'd like to state Emo does not mean Emotional. it stands for Emotive Hardcore Punk, a movement in London in the late 1980's. Secondly I'd like to state that i dress emo/scene or whatever you wish to call it, but only sometimes listen to the music. I listen to rap, hip hop, pop, and Japanese music as well. I be... More..

You want to understand us. The gay teens. Funny, that seems like a label with a negative connotation. Which it is in a way. but enough about that. Here is the thing. We don't want your sympathy. Nor do we deserve it. We don't want your stares, at least, not for being gay. And ya some of us are scared, so maybe we want your r... More..

I write this from the Perspective of a 16 year old in the Gifted and Academic Program in an Ontario School system. And first let me state this clearly, I believe I may be biased, but I do indeed think we can be hurt by too much homework. Now on to why I think so.

7 of 11

Third time is the charm they say. I'm gay, and meeting other gay males isn't easy, specifically those who don't just want sex. So when I met Brandon I thought it was love. It wasn't. So I kept dating around. Then I met Stephen and he was the one for me. For two weeks. I kept dating. About 2 months ago I decided to stay singl... More..

He touched my hand. He touched my hand. I didn`t know what to do. My breath sharply drew back into my body, and my hand flinched involuntarily. He blushed. Sorry he said. I didn`t know what to do. I smiled weakly and put my hand on his. Almost. I tried. I really did. But then he did it again. He touched me again. This boy, w... More..

How exactly can one define a parent? The American Heritage Dictionary defines a parent as "One who begets, gives birth to, or nurtures and raises a child; a father or mother." key terms to look at are nurtures and raises. I don't believe anywhere does it say condemns. Or looks down upon Parenting should be about raising your... More..

Ignorance. What a commonly misused word. The American Heritage Dictionary defines ignorance as the state of being uneducated, uninformed and unaware. Now, tell me this, what exactly is it that my generation doesn't know. To my knowledge, we have the world at our fingertips. We can get news on a website, the paper each mornin... More..

He reached his hand across the table. The pot of tea was to his right, the plate of lemon chicken on his left. It could have been any night of that summer. It could have been any time, any one moment, during our relationship. I grasped his hand smiling back at him, looking him in the eyes, and seeing that one thing I had lon... More..
