Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Love expressed: 20 of 719
It was his eyes that first captivated me. Blue-green like the great sea; Sparkling like the stars in the midnight sky. The touch of his skin on mine, Soft as the fur of a kitten; Delicate like the wings of a butterfly, So consolatory and lulling. The words he spoke, Romantic beyond expectation; Affectionate like in my dreams... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: The Transformers (2007): 12 of 104
At first when I saw the previews for Transformers I thought it would be an extremely lame and stupid movie. I didn't want to go pay money to see it in theatres, in fact, I didn't really want to see it at all. My boyfriend felt the exact same way about it. Even after everyone was telling us how great it was we still didn't wa... More..
Relationships & Family > Cheating & Trust Issues Can a relationship with a cheater work out?: 7 of 45
All relationships are built on trust. Without trust you have nothing. Cheating is obviously a violation of trust, and probably the biggest one. You can never go back and change what you've done, and if a person truly cares about the relationship enough, there is no way that he or she will ever be able to hide the fact that t... More..
Health & Fitness > Emotional Health & Wellbeing School-related stress: 1 of 4
Rather than calling it High School they could call it Stress School. The only problem with that would be that we don't need to learn anymore about stress because we already know all there is to know about it. High school is one of the most stressful places for a teenager. The pressure of figuring out what to do with our live... More..
Relationships & Family > Love & Lust Defining love: 5 of 19
Love cannot be defined, but must be experienced in able to be understood. A person can go on all day trying to explain to another person what love is, but unless that other person has or is experiencing it they will never be able to fully understand. I happen to be very lucky to be in love with the most amazing guy I have ev... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > After School Should parents raise their children without television?: 84 of 306
In this day in age television is almost required in order for children or teenagers to understand the world we live in and what is going on in it. To not let a child or teenager watch any television whatsoever is completely isolating them from the real world. We live in a world now where technology overrules practically ever... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Subcultures An emo kid's life: 3 of 10
The word "emo" doesn't even exist. It comes from the word emotional and is just a new label teenagers came up with a few years ago for the group of kids who wear dark make-up, paint their finger nails black, dress in dark and baggy clothing, and talk about how miserable their lives are all day. I understand depression, but a... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End: 20 of 47
I've always been a huge fan of the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disney World and Disney Land so when I found out that they were going to make a movie out of it I was completely thrilled, especially since one of my favorite actors, Johnny Depp, was going to be a main character in the film. The first movie, in my opinion, ... More..
Relationships & Family > Domestic Violence & Abuse Recognizing the signs of abuse in a relationship: 13 of 28
I had always been told about abusive relationships, the signs of an abusive relationship, and what to do if you are in one, but I never imagined I would have to experience it first hand. I still make excuses for him even now. Some of the things he would say and do completely shock me when I think back now and realize how bad... More..
Education > Secondary School (Other) Advantages of junior ROTC for high school students: 2 of 4
I was in Army JROTC for two years at Atholton High School in Columbia Maryland before transferring to a new high school in California that does not offer the program.
