Poem (extra cedit)

The Feel of The Game

Head held up high
Sneakers neat and tied
Helmet safely secured
While the a ocean blue eye
Peeks out
Through the open spaces

A gun shot rings out
BAMMMMM!!!!
So loud and clear
You race down the feild
Focusing on nothing but the ball
Cheers and screams, as the crowd goes wild

The heat
The pressure
The determination to win this game
Sweat slowly drips down your face
As you run down the feild
Heading for that goal
With more confidence than anyone else
With all your heart and soul

You make it there
You hear all the cheers
HOOOOORRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY WHHHOOOOOPP WHHHHOOOOOPPPP!!!!!!!!
You take a breath
And you know its the end

Reasearch assignment

Topic: Gay Abuse in and out of school
Articles: Bullied because you're gay or lesbian,Wear Purple Day Oct. 20 Against Domestic Violence and Teen Bullying

        After reading these articles about gay abuse i really started to understand how serious of an issue this is. For one I'm not against gays, i don't have the right to discriminate which isn't a big deal as people make it out to be. I'm totally against this bullying, harassment, and discrimination inside and outside of school. It effects kids on every level depression and pain. Peoples verbal abuse, Interent Abuse, physical abuse all stays with that kid for their life. whats even worse is gay abuse, judging a person by what gender they like?? Its not a big deal at all. I can never understand why some kids do this to others. And I also cant relate to the pain gay people may go through everyday especially gay kids who go to school and are teased and tortured about being gay.Kids bully gays because they think they are "different" in some way, which isn't true at all.
         And because of this kids tend to try and change themselves, force themselves to be straight, try to dine what they are. People say being gay is a choice when its clearly not, who would choose to be bullied, tortured , hurt, every day by others when they can simply change their ways. being gay is something that you CAN'T control.In most schools teachers and staff are aware of homophobic bullying in schools, although few schools deal with the issue. As you start to see more and more on the new is that a very largely-unrecognized effect of homophobia is psychiatric injury, including attempted or actual suicide.
       Do you see how many teens kill themselves because they simply couldn't take the abuse from others anymore. They didn't have anyone there to really help them or stop the abuse so they took the only chance at that moment that seemed very reasonable, suicide.Well as much as one in five gay people have self-harmed or attempted suicide because of homophobic bullying and abuse.Besides all that i like that people are started to lend a hand to gay people. Try to show them that someone does care and its will all end soon. So the Gay Awareness Day was made to make awareness about whats happening. On this that people wear purple to help show spirit for anti gay bullying.
      I think this day is a good example of a way to reach out to gay people and kids who are being abuses for being gay.

Social Awareness Poem 2

The Pain

The pain will never go away
The bruises are now here to stay
The hurt you have inflicted on me
burns in me everyday
You vicious beast oh you must pay
My heart and soul won't fell the same
You yell
I quiver
You grab
I squeal
You slap
I cry
You beat
And there
on the floor
 Is where i lie
You stop and stare
But I'm deep in fear
for more will come
for me to bear
I await u next move
Just lieing there
You walk away
And all i can do i stare
My body so soreful
Throbbing in pain
And I know I will go through this another day

tTHIS PEOM IS BASED ON ABUSE OF MANY PEOPLE. CHILDERN, AND WOMEN, AGAAINST GAYS FOR HOW THEY ARE AND MANY MORE THINGS. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR SOMEONE SHOULD HELP THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN ABUSED TO COME OUT AND SPEAK THE TRUTH

Social Awareness Poem

For What I Have Lost
         By kayla newman
No roof above our heads,
No bed that we can rest on,
No money in our pockets,

No kitchen that i can cook in,
No food for me to cook,
No comfort, safety and warmth

We once had these things
That a family shall have
But not that's all forgotten
And way back in the past

But all we have now
Is each other and our love
For I have no pity
My sorrow will improve my strength
And maybe one day we won't be homeless again.

WELL THIS POEM IS ABOUT A SOCAIL ISSUE WE HAVE IN THIS WORLD WHICH IS HOMELESSNESS

Social Awareness 4

1)Media/Newa Immersion: Newspaper articles: Animal Abuse And Neglet

              This article is about Anmial abuse and neglet. For one i dissaprrove of this, the video that was there of and example which shows neglet of these horese that live on a farm was horrifing. I was nearly in tears. The article says that these horses have been living in horribble conditions. No grass to feed on, u can find the remains of dead horses laying aroung, the dont have a proper place to stay. Which is why these people came to help this issue. They brought vets to come help and care for the horeses, the dieses and conditions they were in were basically deadly.Neglect is not giving an animal the right food, water, shelter or vet care.
The articles says that all U.S. states have animal cruelty laws, and 47 states treat some forms of abuse as felonies. Farmers and researchers can do cruel things to animals that other people can't do legally, but all states have some protection for pets like dogs and cats.


Social Awareness 3

1)Media/Newa Immersion: Newspaper articles:   Joe Miller’s Confusing, Contradictory Position on Gay Marriage
      
               Well this article is based on what Alaskan GOP senate candidate Joe miller had said on the issue of agy rights.he said, quote" i think it's important that we reconize that there are different approaches to different values, and i think that it;s best for the states to be able to make thoes decisions."there was also a video that wen twith this article which u can watch down below, and i thought that what he said was a lie. Because yea hes saying all of this but yet still in Alaska they banned gay marriges.He was really into letting the states deal with this issue on thier own.Then after he said alll that later on he said that he'd vote for a contitutional amendment banning gay marriage everywhere.On the one hand, Miller says "let states decide" and on the other hand, he wants the Federal government to amend the constitution to prohibit states from deciding.Like WTF is that about. First you say its all on the people itdoesnt effect you really, now you say that your going to ban gay marriages?? He made this so confusing for most eople.He may even decide it should be up to each parish of each religeon to decide on blessings for gay marriage.Either way, Americans don't like politicans who flip flop.
