May 5 Abuelita was gone. Where was she? Esperanza and Mama were very worried. Was this just a dream or was it actually happening? Esperanza stood in the middle of it, watching her house in lames. Miguel ran out of the burning house carrying Abuelita in his arms. The back of his shirt was on fire and he was in danger.

April 30, 2014 Today the weather is hot and windy. I heard that all the heat and wind is coming from the desert so that's why it's windy like this. I actually kind of do like this weather but it's too windy! The wind cools me down but it's very strong it's blowing my hair away and also my skirt because I'm wearing a skirt today! This is really bothering me.

April 25, 2014 The rosaries, masses, and funeral lasted three days. Esperanza didn’t know much people but they came o pay respect to the ranch. They brought food that could feed up to ten families. They also brought too many flowers that they all ended up getting headaches. Her Tio Luis sat in her Papa’s chair with his belt buckle on his belt, she knew that was wrong and started to cry in anger. According to the lawyer Papa left the land to Tio Luis because it’s not usual to leave land to the women and since Luis was the banker he would keep the land. Mama and Esperanza knew that was wrong because that was their home.

April 24, 2014 After Alfonso and Miguel got back from looking for Papa. They had bad news that would affect everyone. Papa was dead. The next morning Esperanza woke up with a dream that her Papa was singing the birthday song, "las mananitas". But in reality she woke up in Papas bed on his side smelling him from the bed. It was morning and all she thought about was her Papa and her birthday party which her Papa couldn't attend. Her grandmother told her to open her presents, she passed them to her and opened them, but it got to Papa's present left behind, she didn't imagine it would be the last thing her Papa would give her.

April 23, 2014 After Esperanza got cut by the red bloom. Her and her mother thought, bad luck! Her father never returned. They were starting to think what may have happened to him. Esperanza's mother had already sent to men to go look for him.

April 21, 2014 I got an A (100%) on this test. I did good on this because i feel like this is easy and fast to learn. I think that we should do this more often because it is fun to learn and it is important.

because it is very competitive. My favorite was being defense because you would
try to not get the ball into the your goal. I was the goalie today and I felt like I was just not as great as being a goalie. Also, today we played the championships and my team won 8 out of 4!

April 16, 2014 Soon on May 2, we are going to receive our progress reports which I'm actually pretty excited to get them because although I have a D in this class, I have actually been trying to get my grade up by doing all my homework which does work because it brings your grade up. If i don't do my homework it really drops my grade. When I don't do my homework i really regret not doing it, because I get about 4-5 points off. Right now i have a 65% but it as a 64% and dropped to a 60%, so I ended up doing my homework and was marked as late but it got my grade up. Last night I did my homework and it is 50 points so I hope it somewhat gets my grade up because I want to get up to a C or B.

I would probably rate their journal an eight out of ten. They had good details and great information. I would rate the student comments about a nine out of ten because they explained their thoughts clearly.

My grade on my teacher story was a B, 88/100. I think it is pretty good, I thought that the writing was good. I thought it could be better because I actually tried my best on this story but after all I think I did pretty good and that If I keep trying I will get my grade up. I think the grade is fair because I had some incorrect writing in my story. My grade on my reflection was an A, 47/50, which I also think was really good and It can be better but the grade is good enough.

March 21. Yesterday my aunt, cousins, and uncle came over. My aunt and cousins live here, in San Diego, and my uncle lives in Florida. A few days ago on Tuesday my uncle came from Florida to visit. But yesterday they came over to my house to visit us. The last time I saw him was since December when he came to visit but left again for work. I missed him a lot because he is part of the family and was missing out from family times by working in Florida. He has times where he doesn't have to work for about a month or so, so he comes to San Diego to visit us.

March 20. One of my very very good friends is a girl named April. She has always been there for me since the day I met her. She has been my best friend since as long as I can remember which was when we were very little girls. When I am sad or mad she’s always there to put a smile on my face. She’s seen me in every mood I possibly can have. My parents even see her as another family member. I’m really glad t have her in my life. I’ve never wanted a better friend than her. We hang out all the time, she comes over and sleeps over and we also go everywhere together.

March 19, 2014 202 words On Friday I might go to the beach with Yetzari and Karla. I am very excited because it has been a while I haven’t hung out with them. They usually invite me to places but I never go cause my parents say no. But this Friday I will beg my parents to let me go, but I am not so sure if they are going still. If they don't I might go to the movies cause usually a lot of people go to the movies on Fridays and I have not gone in a while so if I do go I am excited and if I don’t then it will suck because I miss hanging out with my friends as much as I used to. I'm actually not joking I have not gone in like 3 months and usually everyone goes every Friday. So I am excited to have those fun moments with my friends again. I also have not gone to the park, and everyone goes on Wednesdays. So I hope I can go today, I don't think I can because I haven't asked for permission but if I’m not allowed to then I'll look for something else to do.

March 18

Yesterday with my cousin was super fun! We walked to the store and bought chips and lemonade, after that we walked to her house and just ate and laid on the bed talking about new stuff that has been going on because I haven't talked to her in forever! I remember I used to talk to her and hang out with her everyday but it all changed after that. I am so glad we got to spend time together yesterday because I really missed talking to her and I missed hanging out with her and doing random funny stuff, most of all I miss laughing with her. We would always laugh at the random things we can think of or do and we still do. Hopefully we get to hang out even more now. Litzy is literally one of the best cousins i've ever had, she is always there for me through thick and thin and she makes me smile and laugh all the time. I can never ask for a better cousin than her.

March 17 Today is Monday and I think it will be a great day. I haven't really talked to one of my cousins at the school named Litzy. But today I went to her house in the morning so that we can go to school together. Also after school I am going over to her house because it has been a while I haven't gone and seen my family. On our way to her house while walking we are going to go buy chips or snacks at the store because we usually do that. The last time I went walking with her we got Frozen Yogurt and Takis and we watched a movie at her house. That was a great fun day! I have seen her around school but i haven't really talked to her so I am excited to spend the rest of the day with her after school. When we go walking we're usually in a group of people and we talk and walk. Hopefully today is even better than the other days!

On Wednesday, March 12 I went to a buffet/restaurant where they sold Chinese food and other different varieties, they cooked right in front of you what you wanted or you can go get a plate and put anything you want. It was very delicious and convenient because it was cheap. We ate as much as we wanted! There was very delicious deserts and there was even a chocolate fountain.

DID NOT ALLOW ME TO POST YESTERDAY Today on Photoshop I learned that you have to put in work and know how to use the computer so that you can work with Photoshop. There is many steps into making something perfect of how you want it. I also learned that its not that easy to make something and its worth a lot of work and effort. Also that you have to find the right pictures to fit in and the opacity makes the picture like clearer.

On Sunday I might go to my friend’s dad’s birthday, I am so excited because I haven’t seen her in a while, and I knew her since birth. She was my best friend until 6th grade when she went to Marston and I went to Innovation. She was the only one I trusted and the only one I told everything! She was always there for me through the rough and good times. But I finally get to see her on Sunday. I am so excited to see her again and tell each other what has happened when we were without each other.

March 11, 2014
Tomorrow is my cousins 17th birthday and my brothers was actually the 9th and he turned 17. Since tomorrow is Wednesday and it is my cousins birthday we are going to go out to eat. she is thinking about going to The Cheesecake Factory or some other restaurant. We are actually really excited because this is one of the first birthdays we have spent with her because she lived in Florida.

Differences Between the Movie and the Book//The Outsiders//

==Some differences between the book and the movie was when Ponyboy got home late Dally pushed him and in the book Dally hit him. Also when they went to the movies. In the book they did not show as much detail. In the movie they showed more detail such as how close they were, how they looked, and what they wore. In the book they didn't tell much about how the places looked.==

This grading semester is about to end! I am so nervous because I have super bad grades. I have an F, B, D, A, C, and a D. These are the worst grades I have ever had this year. This is bad! I didn’t think I would have these grades right now. I was looking forward to better grades. I am disappointed and both my parents will be too. I am nervous and scared to show them my grades. I know I’ve said this many times and I have not accomplished it but I have to get my grades up, at least by turning in all my missing work and do some test fix ups. Some ways to keep my grades up and good are to do and turn in all my homework, study so I can do good on tests.

I think that this person is alone because nobody notices him and I think that that is why his face is transparent in the photo. The person is probably bullied and he has no friends and that everyone doesn’t want to be his friend because he is different. Also I can tell that he is sad although you can’t see his face because every one that is bullied feels depressed and alone. It looks like he does not have arms, maybe he had an accident and lost his arms and maybe that’s why he gets bullied or he probably is alone and no one notices him.

It is finally raining in San Diego! It’s winter and it hasn’t been raining, it has been sunny and warm. Usually in the wintertime it rains and it’s a bit windy but it has actually been pretty warm and it does not feel like winter time lately, but today it is fresh and rainy which makes it feel more like winter. I like winter and I also like summer. The reason I like winter is because it’s cold and I can stay home, watch movies, lay in bed with a blanket and drink some hot chocolate. I also like summer because I can go to the beach or pool and have a great time with family and also eat ice cream. Both seasons I can do something entertaining and also even hang out with family.

Yesterday was my dads 39th birthday. We made a party and he was very surprised because he wasn’t expecting it at all. He was very happy that all his family and friends were gathered together celebrating his birthday. We had balloons up on the ceiling and lots of food in the kitchen.

This semester I have two F’s and one D, I am disappointed! But today at lunch I am going to my math class to do a test that I didn’t do when I was absent. This semester i was actually looking forward to straight A's although i still have the rest of the year to fix my grades.

This second semester grades are about to end so I need to get on task to get my grades up! I have two D’s and one F. The F is actually in this class, and homework is not that hard in English so I have to turn in all my missing work and all my homework to slightly bring up my grade. The highest grade I want in this class is at least a B. I would actually love to have straight A’s by the end of this school year. I want to impress my parents that I can do it and show them that I try and achieve what I want. I want to show them that I can change my bad grades into something important and good.

I am going to have a great weekend on Saturday. I’ll go to my aunt’s house. Uncle Joey and I will go on a plane to Mobile, Alabama. On that plane we’ll see the movie called // The Chicken and the Dog. // After that, I'll ask Uncle Joey which bread is the best. He told me that Tae is writing about medieval manor.

Feb 21. On February 25th it is my dads birthday. I am excited because I feel like its been forever since his last birthday so I want to give my dad a present at least a shirt or something because he has done so much for me, he has bought me clothes, food, everything. He is a great father and he has always been there for me so I want to give him something that he will use or appreciate. At least a shirt is good enough. My dad is turning 39! Years have gone by so fast. I feel like he is still 29 or 30. My family and I are actually going to throw a surprise party for my dad. So hopefully that goes well.

Feb 19 Last week I was very sick, I had a stomachache and a fever. I did not feel good at all so I went home from school. The same day I still had a really bad stomachache so my mom took me to the doctor, they just gave me medicine, which did not work. The next day on Thursday I still had a bad stomachache and didn’t go to school because the vice principal said I have to stay home twenty-four hours, such as not going to school. Then on Friday when I first woke up it still hurt, but it was Valentines day so I wanted to spend time with my friends, so we went to the movies to watch Endless Love, which was a great movie. I slept over at my friend April’s house and we had fun, but stomach still hurt, not as much but it still did. On Saturday I was glad that my stomachache went away. This has never happened to me before, I was worried. But after all I felt much better and I was happy it was gone. Also we went to a party and it was so much fun and had delicious food, that night April slept over at my house and on Sunday we went to the square and we walked around the stores and I bought her Jack In The Box tacos and fries and a Starbucks coffee.

I currently have a F in English. I think that the reason I have an F in this class is because I was absent for two days and I didn’t do any of the classwork that was due so that lowered my grade. Now that I am back I’m getting back on task and doing all my work so I can get my grade back up to a B or at least better to an F. if I do the missing work then it will most likely bump up my grade.

This weekend was great, on Saturday I had a great day with my family. They came over and my dad made pizza and salad, it was delicious. They loved it! Then we played board games like the usual. On Sunday, it was even better. In the morning we woke up at breakfast then left to swap meet. After that we went to old town to go walk around and look for a restaurant to eat at. We finally made or decision and ate at Café Coyote. I ordered a California burrito, it was very delicious. After we finished eating we left the restaurant and went home. About 30 minutes later at 5 o’clock we went to a party that we got invited to. It was all our family getting together to celebrate my cousins’ birthday; there was a piñata, cake, and jumper! I got to see cousins that I haven’t seen in a while. It was one of my favorite days.

Johnny and Ponyboy's hair was a symbol of them being greasers. The reason they had to cut it was because if they didn't people would know they were greasers. Back then the symbol for greasers was long hair so everyone knew they were greasers but when they cut it they wouldn't know. When they cut it Ponyboy was upset because he really liked his long hair as well as everyone that knew about his hair.

I think that the poem is maybe about nature such as plants that they come and go like people do or that gold is really valuable and special like people are. I think that this poem is speaking about someone but just names it a leaf. I think that the person is important and they don't want to lose that person.

This second semester I have a high B which is really close to an A so If I really try and do my homework everyday and turn it in on time I will get the grade that I want which is an A. I feel like I can really get an A. I actually am pretty happy with my grade right now because its probably the highest grade I've had in English.

Valentines Day is coming and we do not have school. This is the first time in my whole entire life that there is no school on Valentines Day, I wonder why. But since there is no school, my friends and I might go to the movies and also hang out. Also I have three really good friends and their birthdays are really soon which I’m excited because I really want to get them a present they will like and use. Hopefully I will be able to attend every party because they’re all so close to each other.

February 3.

Six Flags is one of the best amusement parks I’ve ever been to. Six Flags is in Los Angeles, which is about 2 hours away from San Diego, so I only go about two to five times a year. Last year I only went once because it was pretty pricey. It was a long fun day. We woke up at 6 a.m. and went to the airport because my uncle works there. At the airport we met up with some cousins, aunts, and uncles. We left at about 8 from there and then we took off in the car to Los Angeles. When we got there it was almost about 10 a.m. We went to Burger King to eat breakfast and when we were done we took off in the car to Six Flags. When we got there we immediately started going on all the fun rides. At Six Flags there are so many restaurants and food stores, everything looked so delicious. The lines for the rides were really long but it was worth a little fun. We went on a ride that it was like a tire and it would go down water so you would get wet, and I got soaked! At the end of the day when we went on almost all the rides, I got Cold Stone ice cream, then we left six flags. It was a great day!


 * 1) ** ** Pony boy says about Darryl, "He's hard as a rock and about as human." Explain this simile. Use other evidence from The Outsiders. **

When Pony Boy said that Darryl is as hard as a rock and about as human he probably meant that he was very tough and really smart and in the book it said that Darryl was nothing like Ponyboy and Sodapop. As hard as a rock means he’s really tough and really hard as in not easy in convincing and worries a lot.


 * 2) **** Compare and contrast any two characters from //The Outsiders// (except Darryl). Better essays contain more inference. In other words, it's better to write about that you have to figure out, like personality traits, then to write about something explicitly stated in the text. **

Ponyboy and Sodapop are very different brothers. Ponyboy is a boy who cannot count on any of his brothers or friends. He really likes things that his brothers don’t like. Sodapop is a boy who understands almost everything and Ponyboy doesn’t. Sodapop is treated better than Ponyboy. Ponyboy really loves Sodapop the most because he understands everything. Ponyboy and Sodapop are different because Sodapop do not dig books or movies and Ponyboy does.


 * 3) **** Foreshadowing is when a story gives a hint to what's going to happen next. (Can you think of any examples from a movie or The Pearl?) When the Ponyboy tells us "Things gotta get better, I figured. They couldn't get worse. I was wrong." Predict what that might foreshadow? There is no one correct answer, but you reply should make sense in the context of the book and be well-written. **

When Ponyboy tells us that things gotta get better it seems like they’re already going through something bad so I feel like something worse will happen next. Maybe Ponyboy will get lost and his brother will worry and call the police and he will get reported or taken away because he was supposed to be very responsible of his brothers.

January 30, 2014 Yesterday I learned that bullying happens to literally everyone. Everyone always gets hurt by at least one word. Someone that gets bullied has once been a bully and a bully has one gotten bullied. If we can stop all the bullying and give out nice compliments it will put a smile on someone’s face. Bullying is not just in one school it is happening in many schools. Being a bystander can stop a bully from bullying someone so be a bystander and if you are a bully stop being one because it will get you in lots of trouble. When you stop bullying you will notice the difference and the mistakes you did. Bullying probably makes people feel cool but trust me it is not cool, it is hurting people and even killing people. Kids or teenagers have even committed suicide because of bullying.

Bullying changes peoples lives by the words that they get called. Like in a video a boy really like pork chops but when the word spread about him falling off a tree, everything changed. People started calling him “pork chop” and by then he hated pork chops. Bullying changes peoples thoughts about stuff they like.


 * 1) 1. Yes, you can borrow my car but you must return it by 11:00 pm.
 * 2) 2. An alligator caused a fright when it escaped from the Bronx Zoo.
 * 3) 3. Mr. Lundberg’s class planted an oak tree along the walking trail on Arbor Day.

the book the outsiders is reely good book by se hinton and its about 3 brothers named pony boy Darryl and sodapop and I think what well happen next is

The book //The Outsiders// is a really good book by S.E. Hinton. It’s about three brothers named Ponyboy, Darryl, and Sodapop. I think what will happen next is Johnny and Ponyboy are going to get jumped.

January 22, 2014. Rechelle's Birthday. 246 words.

Today is one of my good friend’s birthdays, Rechelle. She is turning thirteen. I only met Rechelle at the beginning of this school year. Ever since she has been a really good friend, she has always been there for me. I can tell her anything and I can trust her with anything, she is my ride or die. Al though I haven’t known her for long it feels like I’ve actually known her forever. When you see her you’ll see someone really nice and happy, everyone loves her sparkly blue eyes and her gorgeous smile. She always brightens up my day when I’m sad or in any mood. If I’m happy she brightens up my day even more. She is really pretty, funny, smart, and she s really fun to be around. Honestly I don’t know what I would do without her. I am glad we have 3 periods together. Anyways today is her birthday and I was supposed to buy her flowers but my mom said she was going to be late to work so I ended up not buying her flowers. After school today we are going to the park and the taco shop with friends and then on Friday we might go to the movies and sleepover. Hopefully this week goes good, I am really looking forward to it. Hopefully I go shopping really soon to buy her stuff like things she really likes to use or wear.

If I could go back in time anywhere or any when I would probably go back to the time where I lived in my old house because that was actually one of the best places I’ve could’ve been. There were many houses kind of like apartments but not exactly apartments. So since there were many people living in the houses there would be kids to hang out with everyday. Every single day after school we would hang out at the playground, the ice cream truck would always come and we would buy junk food. We would always stop playing almost at very night. I world probably go back there because it was really fun and I had a great childhood. My childhood was basically always there with my friends. On Fridays or Saturdays my friends and me would once in a while have sleepovers. Older or younger we always hung out, playing hide and go seek and other games like that.

When I grow up I am thinking of being a Veterinarian or a Doctor because I want to make a change. I want to give kids vaccines, I want them to be healthy and have a good life. I don’t want young kids to be suffering through diseases or any other illnesses. Kids should have a healthy body to live life happily. If they are suffering disease it will be hard for them. That’s why they need vaccines to remove the germ inside their body. There are germs all over the place and there are some that can spread diseases which can cause many illnesses and symptoms.

Almost every Friday, students from Imiddle go walking after school the square or to someone’s house to wait till the movie starts. We usually go to the Claremont Square to watch a movie at Reading Cinemas. Last Friday we watched Anchorman 2. Now this Friday we are going to go watch Ride Along or maybe Paranormal Activity. Usually after the movies we go to Starbucks and just hang out. After we either go home or go to someone else’s hose and sleep over.

On Saturday I will probably go home and wait till family comes over or I usually get ready and then my family goes to my aunts and cousins house afterwards. We usually eat then we just take time to talk and after that we play board games and we laugh.

The on Sunday we just rest at home.

First of all, the grade that I really want to improve is my English grade. It is my only D and if I do all my homework ad turn it all in I will get a better grade. I want to at least move up to a B. I also want to bump up my history grade to an A or B and also my PE grade. But I want all my grades to go up to at least only A’s and B’s but I will have to work my hardest in every class to bump up my grade.

This 2014 year I am hoping for a year to spend time with family. Also I want to visit more places like theme parks such as Six Flags, SeaWorld, and Disneyland. I think those places will be fun to go to with family and also friends. I am also excited for the summer and the heat so we can just go to the pool or beach and have a good time. Even staying home is a good place for family and friends to spend time with. I also am willing to go visit my family to other states, even though I am afraid of heights. Although, once you’re on the airplane its not as terrifying.

January 13, 2014

On Friday I went to the movies with friends. We watched Anchorman 2. Then on Sunday I spent some time with my family playing board games and other types of games. Then next Friday we are all planning to go to the movies again and watch Ride Along then we will hopefully go to Starbucks as always. Hopefully we have a great time. We might actually go after school to the movies and then after the movie we will probably go over to a friend’s house and sleepover or they will come over. But I hope that Friday goes good. ON Saturday I am going to spend more quality time with my family.

January 10, 2014

Today I am going to the movies with two of my good friends Rosa and April. We are going to watch Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones. April is coming over to my house after school and Rosa will meet up with us at the movies because she goes to Marston. Hopefully today will be a good day.

This weekend I might go to Disneyland. Hopefully we do because I am already very excited. We are going to go this weekend so that my sister can get to know and see Disneyland in person for the first time. She is already very excited to get to see the princesses. My little sister is begging to go THIS weekend! I hope we can go so we can spend a good quality of time with the family.

January 9, 2014 Hi, my name is Michelle. I am a seventh grader at Imiddle. I think that Imiddle should sell sweet snacks for cheaper but they should also sell less because now in 2014 there are many kids in the world that are suffering obesity. Sweet snacks actually have a lot to do with obesity because of so much sugar there is in so many snacks, such as sour worms which a pretty cheap. Many kids are into the food they sell so they will end up buying something everyday.

January 7, 2014 On the day before New Years I got my hair done at a salon. The color I wanted was like a caramel brown. My hair took 5 hours to do!! From 6:00-11:00pm! I was very tired of sitting but it was worth it because I wanted it. When the lady finished I was so happy, and I loved how it came out and the color except I wanted it a bit darker. The lady said she put a tint in my hair, which was at first a gray color, and she said that it would end up fading off. If it does not come out the way I want it to my aunt will end up fixing the color to make it darker the way I want it. The result I got from the lady was more like a blonde, which I liked but I wanted a bit darker. Hopefully the color fades off.

This winter break was a type of break where I was very lazy although I celebrated the holidays from December. It was the type of time where you lay in bed, watching TV, and drinking coffee. The best part of this inter break was spending time with my family.

One of my favorite holidays from 2013 was New Years with my family because that way we get to celebrate the New Year. 2013 was one of the best years because I got to spend time with family and friends.

12.16.13 A posada is a Mexican celebration celebrated by many Mexicans. This is about the poor knocking on door to door to ask if they can come in or receive something special such as food. They share food and drinks and they also sing. On Sunday there was a posada at a family members house. A group of people knocked on the door and asked if they can come in and the people who opened the door said, “yes, welcome!” We then ate food and celebrated by singing many Christmas songs. Today there is going to be a posada at my house, hopefully everything goes great and that everyone has something to eat and share. Also that everyone enjoys the day.

12.10.13

One of my favorite things to do on a very cold day is to bake. Such as cookies, brownies and cupcakes. I also like hot chocolate on cold days because it keeps you warm. I like to enjoy the hot chocolate and baking goods by watching a movie in bed with the heater on and a blanket. This can keep me very warm and entertained. Lately in San Diego it has been super cold so I might be doing this very often.

Last week I had separators in my teeth for about 2 weeks. Last week when I went to the dentist and they took those separators out and put in some metal hooks on my very back teeth. It seems like it to me that it’s the beginning of having braces and that these metal items in my teeth are to have rubber bands hooked on my teeth or maybe for the wires. I am very excited that soon I will be getting braces to have a perfect smile. I am also very happy to have a perfect smile.

I think that this poem means that money is important to everyone. Money is used for many things and that a lot of people need money To buy things they need.

Michelle Uriostegui I’m not too young to trick-or-treating. Tonight I’m going to dress up as Dorothy from //The Wizard of Oz//. When I go to my neighbors' house, I will get snickers, skittles, and other candies. It’s going to be a lot of fun.

Period 3 October 29, 2013 129 words Five Years From Now…

Five years from now I will be 17. I will be in 12th grade. I think that when I’m in that grade I will be a very responsible caring girl. Even though I am already trying to be one. I will hopefully have good grades and maybe a good job. I want to have a college or university picked out already so that I can have a good job as a vet or a doctor. A vet and a doctor is what I want to work as. I am not so sure which one of them I want to be but hopefully by 12th grade I will. Five years from now I want to have a good life.

On September 29 it was my birthday and it was weekend so my family and I spent the day together. First of all, we went to Denny’s to go eat breakfast.

Michelle Uriostegui 10/10/13 Period 3 Bullying

Bullying. Bullying is a problem around the world. It can happen anywhere and anyone can do it. It can hurt a child and it can cause them to want to commit suicide. Bullying can even cause health issues in their adulthood. According to bullyingstatistics.org, “Depression is an illness that is not totally understood, and may have a variety of causes, but it is clear that it can have a relationship to bullying.” “Depression can have a number of serious effects on a person's life. The link between bullying and depression can also extend to other problems, like: low self esteem, anxiety, high rates of school absence and physical illness.” Teens who are bullied are more likely to have depression and commit suicide. Everyday teens wake up being afraid of to go to school because of bullying. I think that bullying is cause because of people’s appearance and their personality. Man bullies choose to bully the students that they think don’t fit in because of the way the dress, the way they act, also because of their race, etc. There is another type of bullying called cyber bullying. Cyber bullying is the same as bullying but it is online. Cyber bullies pretty much bully students online saying mean and rude things to them. These bullies can pretend they are other people online to trick others, spread lies and rumors about victims, trick people into revealing personal information, send or forward mean text messages, and post pictures of victims without their consent. According to [], “Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year.” Also, “ 56 percent of students have personally witnessed some type of bullying at school.” About 160,000 teens skip school every day because of bullying. Many students have missed school to stay at home and probably commit suicide because of verbal, social, and physical bullying. STOP BULLYING! Bullying can cause severe problems in children and their adulthood. If you are a bully you would probably not want someone to bully you and you probably wouldn’t want to have depression and commit suicide. WORDS HURT! Think before you say or do something. Stop Bullying.
