How Do You Cheat A Cheater?

I was thinking of a new blog post and the title "How Do You Cheat A Cheater?" popped into my head. I'm not exactly sure what I will write about so let's see where we end up. In my whole dating life, I haven't exactly been cheated on except once. I have had boyfriends of mine talk to other girls about how they like them or would like to hook up with them. What I hate the most about it all is that I had to hear it from a lot of different girls and not my boyfriend. One time, someone was trying to help me while I was crying and they asked me, "how does all of this make you feel Annie?". At the moment, I kind of felt numb. I didn't know what to say to them because I was between the states of disbelief and confusion. Have you ever been in a situation where your boyfriend or girlfriend has cheated on you? How did you find out? I just want you to know that it is never right for someone to cheat on you. Even if they claim you are a bad boyfriend or girlfriend, it still doesn't make it right for them to cheat on you. I understand that some cheating cases are worse than others based on the severity of what the person did when they cheated. Do you know anyone that has been cheated on? Maybe you have seen a movie on television where someone was being cheated on. I want you to put yourself in their postition and answer the question my friend asked me. Also, I do believe it is wrong if you date, kiss, flirt, or anything along those lines and above with someone that is dating someone already. If they are with someone, they have an invisble sign on them that says "hands off".

Simple Tip #4

So never go up to a girl when you know you did something wrong. It will just turn out bad. I did it one time and got kicked and smacked right were it hurts. So just don't do it.

Poem of the Week #1 : Growing Up

Life is so easy
when you are young.
When kisses heal boo-boos
and lullabies are sung.
It seemed that life could go on for years,
as long as the nightlight was there
to quiet our fears.
Why does growing uphave to be so hard?
When did the world become
bigger than our own back yard?
There is no more recess
to stop the stress of the school day.
There are no more falling stars
that can take our worries away.
Decisions are more complicated
now that we are grown,
                                                   why cant we go back
                                                    to when life was our own?

Poem of the Week #2 : Teen Years

Everyone tells you,
they're the best years of your life.
The thing they don't tell you,
is they are all full of strife.

From a child to a teen,
in less then a year.
It's a lot to deal with,
you have to grow up fast.

As a child you're free,
as a teen you feel locked up.
A child has no worries,
A teen has a lot.

You learn the meaning of love,
you discover broken hearts.
The worries of being accepted,
are the hardest part of all.

What's the "best"
about these years.
When as a teen,
you live in fear.

Simple Tip #3 : What Not To Do

When you know a girl is stressed or angry, give her some space. Don't keep trying to talk to her when she is trying to show you that she doesn't want to talk. Don't annoy her, argue with her, or make her think of things that make her stress out unless you want an ear full of bad words.

Ugly Day Blues

I'm sure we all have had our fair share of bad days. I like to call them ugly days because on my bad days, I get mean. Today was my birthday, as many of you may know, and it was just completely horrible. There are too many assignments I have to get done and my parents just haven't seemed to care much. They keep saying I can do it later when I have two more projects to get done, homework, a quiz to study for, and three essay questions to do so I can get a good grade on one of my tests. I also have a lot of out of school things that I have to get ready for and plan while trying to work on this blog. I try to make sure everything is kept up on it. How do you deal with bad days? When everyone seems to be getting on your nerves? How about when you have so much to do in so little time? I wish I had some good advice right now because I'm completely stressed.

What is it?

Dislikes about the internet.

Why do all the things on the internet always have other things on the page with them? I can’t stand when I go to look something up and it always has a lot of stuff on it from other websites and advertisements on the side of the page. I don’t even like to use the internet because of the junk on it. I always get annoyed or frustrated with it. What do you think about all the stuff on the pages? Do you think websites shouldn’t have stuff like that? So comment back and let me know.

Simple Tip #2

Don't tell a girl that she won't find anyone better than you because then you just gave her motivation to find someone better.

You don't want to wake up and find that she has proven you wrong.

Now that's not good... for you.

"This is your one life and your one body - make it right."

So what about those drugs and alcohol floating around the world? Sometimes, it feels like everywhere I turn people are talking about them or I see alcohol or drug stories in magazines, newspapers, on television and other places. Have you ever tried a drug or drank alcohol? If so, how was the experience for you? Do you know any friends that drink or do drugs? How does this affect you? If you are a teen, then you are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Doing these types of things can really mess up your future. These things can cause death to you and/or people around you! How would you feel if your best friend got high and was in a car accident? What if they didn't get to see another second of life because they were laying on the ground dead? What if it was reversed and you were drinking and driving and you ran over someone or ran into another car and killed them? What if you lived and the person that you ended up killing were your parents, boyfriend/girlfriend, or friend? I know you have probably heard all of this before. Think about what all of the drugs and/or alcohol is doing to your insides. In my opinion, it's best to just be strong and say no.

Animal of the Week : Ostrich

The flightless ostrich is the worlds largest bird. They are mainly found in the desert lands and savanna of Africa. They can sprint up to 43 an hour and can run 31 miles an hour. An ostrich's long legs can cover up to 10 to 16 feet in a single stride. An ostrich's kick will kill a human or a predator like a lion. Ostriches usually live in small herds, less then a dozen. The Alpha male maintain these herds, and mate with the group's dominant hen. Ostriches typically eat plants, roots, and seeds. As some of you might believe that ostriches stick there heads in sand, the truth is that they really don't.

There are two different types of ostriches in Africa, the pink-necked and the blue-necked bird. The blue-necked race is found in southwestern Africa where the populations are very fragmented. The pink-neck ostrich is found in the Eastern Plains of Africa.

Some fun facts about ostriches :

- They only have two toes.
- An ostrich egg weighs about 3 pounds.
- An ostrich's eye is almost two inches across, largest of any land animal.
- They have 3 eyelids.

Like or dislike school?

Why do boys and girls like or dislike school? Well if they don’t want to be there, they will not like it. If they want to be doing something else, then they will be thinking about that and not what they are doing in school. Some kids just try to get through the day fast and if they really did a good job, then they would like it a little bit better. So what do you think about school? How do you act during the day? Do you like school or do you just wish you were done and over with it? I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions on this.

Simple Tip #1

I was thinking this morning when I was getting ready for school. I thought of a good idea for teenage boys or girls that are in a relationship. Each week I'm going to come up with one or two simple tips that may or may not help you. Some of the tips may not even be about relationships though. I call them simple tips because I might not always explain the reasoning to the tip. Yes, I am a teenage girl but I don't always know why I or any other girl does the things we do. Here is simple tip #1 :

When a girl hangs up, it is usually a good idea to call back.

( Don't ask why, just try it! )

2008 Outlaw Four-Wheeler

I have been doing some research on quads. I found the fastest stock quad you can buy off the show room floor. It is the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525. It has the best acceleration and top speed. The outlaw is built for racing and for riding sand dunes. This is the hardest quad to break out on the market right now. Most people like this quad because it has reverse and independent rear suspension. That means that each wheel can do its own thing. Well that’s just some things about the Polaris Outlaw 525. If you have any questions, just leave a comment and I will answer them.

"God first, family second, friends third & yourself last."

I am a christian, a very strong christian. I have always been surrounded by a christian family and friends. I have had some ups and down in my life, being a teenager with a job and school can be diffcult and stressful. Now I am not saying all of you have to take this advice, but my mom has a saying "God first, family second, friends third, & yourself last." If you want to learn from me here are some tips :

1. God should always come first in your life. In everything you do you should always have him in mind. God is the one that blessed us to be on this earth, he is the one that heals us when we are sick. Yes, you may think no doctors do that. Well yes, but God was the one that made the people to study and learn medicine to help you get better.

2. Have you ever came to a situation where you have nobody, but your family? Family is the main key in life. No matter what they are always here for you. Yes, some of us may not have a good family situation, but people show love for one another in different ways. What does family mean? Family means love, support, trust, and respect. Each of us should have all those 4 elements when it comes to family. You should never hate your mom or dad no matter how wrong they did to you. They brought you into this world, taught you things that you needed to know for life so you can go out and do those things on your own.

3. Friends. They are the ones that cheer you up when you are sad, the ones that always think of you on your birthday! We can all admit it that we couldn't go through our day without our friends. Just remember: You can only trust a few people though like 1 or 2. Also your friends in high school may not be your friends when your out of high school. Many people go there separate ways and have to go make a life for themselves. Although if you try hard enough to keep in touch with a couple of your friends from high school, that would be great!

4. Always yourself last. With everything you do always put yourself last. Say you have a project due in three days and your friend has one due the next day, she asks for your help. What do you do? You go and help her! (: Another example is If you have lunch money, but one of your friends or peers don't. Do a good deed and help them out, maybe buy both of you a snack until you get home to eat. Just be an unselfish person (:
& that is what I live by! Enjoyyy.

Quote of the Week

"Challenges make life interesting, however, overcoming them is what makes life meaningful."

When I was searching for a quote to put on here, this one really caught my eye. Lately, my life has been quite challenging to me. Has your life ever seemed like a big challenge to you? Have you ever felt like things have changed and they would never go back to normal? I have felt this many times. As a Christian, I know that us humans will be put through tests. I was watching Joel Osteen with my grandmother yesterday morning when he made a great example and comparison. He compared God to a teacher that would give you a test like on a Friday or any other day. All week teachers prepare for your test on Friday. They give you class time to ask all your questions and to study. They even stay after school so that they can give you extra help to equip you with all the tools you need for your preparation of the test you will have. During the test, the teacher seems to be muted in a way. They stand there in the front or the back of the classroom and watch you or sit at their desks and wait for you to be done with the test. When you are going through tests, it may seem like God is far away or just isn't going to help you. When you feel this way, just think of this comparison. God will never give you a test that you aren't prepared for, no matter what you think or how you feel. He spent all those days preparing you for the test which is to be given to you or has already been given to you. I don't know about you, but I sure love God!

 

 

There are many places to find this quote but I got it from : Think Exist

What is the Meaning of Relationships?

Relationships aren't just boyfriend and girlfriend or husband and wife. Relationships cover way more than just that. You have a certain type of relationship with your parents, friends, siblings, strangers, etc. What is a definition of relationships? Relationships are connections between two or more people or groups and their involvement with one another, especially as regards the way they behave toward and feel about one another. What kind of relationship do you have with people? What are your feelings towards boyfriend/girlfriend relationships? Any other relationship?

In my opinion, relationships are very important to maintain. It takes effort from every person to have a healthy relationship. Have you ever yelled at someone you care about just because you are stressed or are just in a bad mood? Have you ever told someone you love something that you absolutely regret? Sometimes it is hard to hold in our emotions whether they are sad, angry or frustrated emotions. Every decision you make has a consequence. Try thinking about what you are thinking about. What does this mean, you ask? This means to simply think about what you are already thinking about saying or doing. Here is an example that I hope helps you to better understand what I am talking about :

When my boyfriend and I first started dating, we would get into a few arguements that I would unnecessarily take way overboard. Instead of just being calm and try to find a better understanding, I would just yell and throw names out at my boyfriend. This would really hurt him. I thought about what to say before I spoke but I didn't really think about how what I was thinking about saying could affect him and I. Finally, I took the time to just sit and listen to his feelings and I realized what I had been doing. I could have eventually lost him! This was a scary thought for me and it was enough to motivate me to change my ways and my actions, especially when a fight between him and I would occur. I just knew that something had to be done because a person can only take so much of that. It hurts me to know that I did all of that to my wonderful boyfriend that has always been there for me.

I am here telling you this story today because it is important for you to take your time to think out everything. If you love someone or care about someone, then you obviously don't want to hurt them. If you truly do care about them or love them, then you will take that extra time to analyze your thoughts so that you don't make the mistake of doing or saying that you will seriously regret. I hope that this post helped you today to realize a few things. Please, if you have any comments on this, then post one on here and I will get back to you.

Drama? No, Thank You...

                                  

So how about that drama? We all know about it and probably all of us have been through it. Isn't it just terrible? Girls have the most drama but boys still have their fair share. I like to think of people that cause drama as Green Eyed Lobsters. That is a silly name to call them, right? It just helps me to laugh and be happy instead of being sad and upset. What do you do when drama comes your way? Do you coward and run or do you hit it all head on? It's true that you can't just run away from your problems and them all disappear. I'm sure I speak for a majority of people when I say that we wish it could actually be that way. Here are some tips that I hope help you with people seeking trouble and drama :

1. Try to ignore it. ( I know many people have probably told you this already. ) Sometimes, if you don't say anything back and just keep smiling, they will leave you alone.

2. Do something to keep you focused and to keep your mind off of things. Try to read a book, write, or maybe even draw.

3. Just keep calm and stay nice. Kill them with your kindness : )  This may cause them to get even angrier for a while because they aren't getting the reaction from you that they wanted but don't let that get you down. Eventually, they will more than likely leave you alone.

4.  Try your best to stay away from them and avoid them. If you know they will be at a certain place at a certain time, then try to avoid running into them. Stay around your parents or any other authority. If you have a class with them and maybe even have a seat next to them, then fill the teacher in with your situation so that they can be aware. You might even be able to talk to your guidance office about changing classes if it really bothers you.

5. Tell your parents, your principal or any other trusted adult. Sometimes things don't always work out the way we want them to but they surely will do the best of their abilities to make the situation easier!

What do you guys think about quads and riding them? If you leave a comment, I will answer any questions you may have about quads.
