13 Reasons Why

So this the letter I received from my son's school. Talking about the Netflix original "13 Reasons Why" . Basically trying to get Parents involved. I understand as parents we should take into account and pick up on the signs that our children give us. I was a troubled teen and I did things for attention from my parents. But how do you really know what's going on with your children? How do you get them to open up if something is happening? I don't want to come home and find my baby bleeding to death in the bathtub. I know this may sound cliche and we've all heard our parents say this growing up but it's true. Things were simpler in my day. Nowadays teenagers get into a fight and everyone pulls their phone out. I've seen grown ass men jump a 13 year old girl. I've seen grown ass men watching a fight of 2 high school girls and taping it on their phones while yelling "yeah pull her shirt off". I've known a school crossing guard that witnessed a student being robbed by strangers but her job strongly advises her to "not get involved". So she did nothing. Am I wrong for feeling like she could've done something.  Even taken a description in her mind somewhere and shared it with authorities? Am I wrong for being angry that she could have done something but chose to do nothing because it was in her job description?

Men and Women, let's stop being bitches

  I have been away for a while because I felt some type of way about being told my posts are one-sided. I received some inspiration and motivation from a lovely Facebook group. I received some advice that makes sense. It's MY blog; I started it to say the things I want to say. If you prefer to read fluff, this is not the blog for you! Moving right along, I'd like to draw attention back to our President's son. A man who thought to release some email exchanges between him and a Russian music publicist that wanted him to have a meeting with a lawyer from Moscow. In the email, the agent says something along the lines of having dirt on Hillary and ending with Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump. You can find the transcript of the emails exchanged at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/07/11/transcript-donald-trump-jrs-email-chain-meeting-russian-lawyer/      If you still believe that man is innocent, you must be just a dumb as he is. As Trevor Noah, f...

Our dumb ass "President "

  So it seems there has been rumors of impeachment proceedings. With all the investigations and his obvious ignorance about the American people. He has tried to pass bills such as "the new affordable health care act". A bill which could leave up to 25 million Americans without health insurance. A good majority of his supporters are currently under "Obama care". What will they do now? Remember during his campaign he said that he was going to "take care of women"? How is defunding Planned Parenthood taking care of women? You do know that abortions are not the only thing that they do. There are men that also go to Planned Parenthood as well. Oh and let's not forget that under the new AHCA rape is considered a pre-existing condition as well as pregnancy. How is that taking care of women? Those same people that say abortions are wrong are the same ones claiming their tax dollars shouldn't have to pay for another single mother that made the "mistake...

Do we fear gay people more than police brutality?

I'm back! Anyway the other day I made 2 separate Facebook posts. One where I spoke about being brought up in a racially biased society. I spoke on a topic that has been studied and experimented with for about 30 years or so. If you don't know who Jane Elliot is, you should find out fast. In the late 1960s early 70s. Elliot was a third grade teacher and right after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated she decided to do an experiment on her third graders to show them what people of color are faced with every single day.The experiment is called "the blue eyed brown eyed experiment". It showed how the anger and urge to fight back comes so naturally. Anyway I won't spend too much time on that. If you'd like to know more visit www.janeelliot.com  . Continuing my second post posed this question: Can u give me a legitimate reason why being gay is wrong WITHOUT using God, the Bible or law/government. My second post (pertaining to the question of gay people) has 6...
