Quote of The Week :P

"Don't judge a book by its cover."

     We've all heard of this quote before. If you think about the quote just by the few words it gives you, it means that if a book has a pretty cover, that must mean it's a good book, right? Also, if a book has a blank cover you must think the book itself must not be very pleasant to read. In other ways, you say this quote means not to judge a normal human being by their looks. I think we should all NOT judge a book by it's cover, which will really help society become less evil.

    This quote relates to the world in many ways. Imagine if somebody is wearing ''revealing'' clothes at a store, many people must immediately think that this person is seeking attention. If a girl has braces, or glasses, you have to think she's a nerd, right? That's because it's what they show on television to describe a nerd. That's what I feel is completely stupid. What I see is what the person is showing inside, not outside. I would treat a person with braces or a person without braces the same. I would treat a person that;s black or white the same.

     In conclusion, if I saw a girl showing her tummy and butt cheeks the amount of cares I would give to her is none! If I saw a guy sagging, I wouldn't assume he's a gangster. If they want to express their body that way, then let them! That specific outfit may make them feel confident, or they want people to know he/she doesn't give a crap about what they think! We all have a belly button. thigh, or underwear, and the difference of covering it under a layer of clothes or showing it doesn't matter! We all have skin, and the shade of it doesn't matter at all. We should stop judging people these days, because that's whats polluting this world.

Quote of The Week ^.^

"If you were another person, would you like to be a friend of yours?"

    This quote means that if you were in another persons shoes and saw your personality, would you be approachable? Another way to say this quote is to imagine if you were a totally different person, and you yourself today still existed. If you approached the person you are, do you think you would like to be friends with yourself?

    This quote relates to teenagers in this generation because we've all seen or have been a victim of a bully. Many bullies don't even realize that they are hurting people's feelings by what they're saying. Sometimes I feel people don't realize words hurt, but if they are in somebody else's shoes and saw their personality I bet they would be surprised on how rude they are.

    Sometimes I feel people should just stop and think that if whatever they have said in the past was said to them directly what would their reaction be? Happy, sad, surprised, or maybe not surprised? I feel this quote is crucial, and many more people should really look at them selves, and ask themselves if they're a bully.

School Dress Code Ticks Me Off...

   Hey guys! It's still me over here. I just felt like doing something random this week. So today I'm going to do a rant. This rant is about the school dress code and how ridiculous the rules are.

    Ok, so I'm in middle school. Yes, at my school there is a dress code. And I've been dress coded a few times. The dress code for girls is UNBELIEVABLE comparing to the guys. For girls, the "dress coders" believe showing your shoulders is more important than your stomach. Now I ask why are shoulders believed to be dress code for girls? WE ALL HAVE THEM! When a staff was asked this they believe it's "distracting for boys". Ok let me just say when has any guy ever said "Hey man look at her shoulders ahah *wink wink*." No way in heck have I ever heard a guy say that. And plus it was just 103  Fahrenheit where I live so can we at least get some cool air on our "revealing shoulders"?

     And the other one, leggings. Now I believe there is two types of leggings. Really thin leggings that you wear under a skirt when it's a little chilly, or leggings that look like regular pants. There's a strict rule about leggings at my school, and you cannot wear them like pants under any circumstances, AND if you do wear them under shorts, dress, skirts, etc., they have to be longer than your fingers when you put your hand down. Now let me say something. Personally I feel like leggings and jeans are similar and different. I agree, jeans are as tight as leggings, but what do you see in one that you don't see in another? It's not like my butt is going to disappear is it? 

     This one is crucial to me. Shorts. The rules for shorts apply by putting your hands down and the shorts must be longer than the tip of your finger. Now let me tell you a funny story. In 6th grade I was wearing shorts on another hot day, probably around 100 degrees. This lady went up to me and looked me dead in the eye. Since I'm a nice person I won't include her name (not like I knew it anyways) , but she told me to put my hands down. Now the shorts were pretty long in my opinion, they were low but they werent high. When I put my hands down, honestly not even a centimeter of my finger passed the shorts. It was spot on, literally. And let me tell you what she did. Yep, I got dress coded. What completely bothered me was the shirt I changed into was given to me by the office ladies. The smell of that shirt smelled of socks and armpits and UGH. And the shirt was so oversized it could honestly pass for a dress. The fact that they dress code me and aren't even prepared to make me change into a normal tee shirt really confused me.

       This dress code rules are crazy and unfair in my opinion. The boys have it easy, basically all their clothes look the same. For girls? No way. Hopefully in the future for my fellow middle schoolers we can show our shoulders in peace and be allowed to consider to not die of heat and wear shorts!

Quote of the Week :D

"Don't bite off more than you can chew."

      We've all heard this famous quote before. In movies, TV shows, or maybe even a friend mentioned it. Obviously not literal, this quote means you shouldn't take in more than you can handle.

      As an example, not many, but some of the readers may have experienced college. If you take one class, you can easily "chew" that class, as in you can handle it. If you take seven classes, you bit off too much, so you cannot chew your classes. To clear it up, taking seven classes is something you cannot handle. You bit off the classes. The problem is you cannot chew (or deal with) the amount of classes.

     This quote also relates to me. At one point in my life, I did bite off more than I can chew. A few years ago, I was enrolled in karate, ballet, and soccer! It didn't seem like much if they spread across weekdays, but I also had school! Some days were chaos, I had to change in the car to be at karate by three (school ended at 2:30 at my elementary). Thankfully my mom noticed I bit off more than I can chew. I took too many classes, and it was stressful for me.

     Sometimes we all bite off more than we can chew. We try to prevent that, other times we can't help it. But our limits can be different. Which is why I actually know somebody that takes much more hours of activities then I used to, and she's completely fine with it! In no way possible I could handle that today, though. In conclusion, try not to stress yourself out. Just bite as much as you can chew, and don't overwork yourself!
