Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Life: 34 of 1201
Raised in the system, she knows it too well.Life without parents sure has been hell.Her bitterness causes her caretakers pain,She feels as though her life's been in vain.No one can handle her wild crazy streak,So out her window she started to sneak.She starts to run with the wrong kind of crowd,Of her new independence she is ...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Pain in life: 61 of 594
Alone in her room she feels frozen with fright,Afraid that the Devil will come tonight.She listens for crying in the next room,She hears nothing so grabs for the broom.A fist fight she will put up tonightBecause what he does just isn't right.Afraid if she tells, she'll go to hell,She keeps quiet, with it she'll dwell.When she...

Education > Primary School (Other) Are the schools becoming too strict with the no touching rules: 1 of 9
No touching rules? I personally haven't heard of one yet. The exception of course being private schools where kids are not allowed to touch each other, or come within six inches of each other for that matter. Expectations were that we were there to learn, not grope each other and pay more attention to the opposite sex than to... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Babies: 2 of 14
"No!" I screamed when the doctor broke the news. I'm pregnant again? "Look, I have a 3 month old right there; I've been on birth control and breastfeeding! How can this be possible?"Here I was submerged in grief at the mere concept that I would have two kids with this man I detested, who I had been forced to marry, and wanted... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Baby Accessories Great gift ideas for a baby shower: 7 of 22
Baby showers can be one of two things: great fun or extremely boring. The mother can get duplicate gifts, numerous adorable little outfits, blankets, bottles, but don't you want your gift to be one she will remember? It doesn't have to be the most expensive or extravagant, but you can make it memorable with just a minimal amo... More..
Education > Secondary School Issues Does sex education in schools encourage teens to have sex?: 29 of 88
I saw this question and my eyes popped out of my head. The answer would be NO! I don't think schools intentionally encourage it. They mean well by teaching sex ed but a part of me still believes this duty should lie with the parents. Problem is, not enough parents talk to the kids soon enough and the kids find out on their ow... More..

Protect Them We MustLost in a world filled with hatred and greed,These kids are finding it hard to succeed.Abused or neglected or just given away,All they want is a safe place to stay.They're promised a home where they will be safe,Then moved around from place to place.After left by their parents with no where to go,The syste...

Health & Fitness > Weight Issues Whose fault is childhood obesity: 17 of 38
Imagine a world filled with diabetes, high blood pressure, and a vast array of diseases that can be attributed to obesity. People walking around, too tired to work out, too unhealthy to do anything about it, and the lack of motivation of an English bulldog trying to take a nap. That is where we live. Our society today is cons... More..
Pets & Animals > Dog Breeds Commentary: Breed specific legislation (BSL): 22 of 46
Canine discrimination is the singling out of certain breeds because of the assumption that they are vicious. Rottweilers, Pit bulls, Chows, and even German Shepherds are sometimes discriminated against because of the bad reputation they have. Housing areas and some towns are banning the breeds altogether just because of the i... More..
