Social Classes............Where Do You Belong????



In our society there are social classes all around us. Everywhere you look there is always a structure to the level of how things are ranked. Even in your homes there are class structures. For example the Parents, The Favored Child (or children, The Liked Family, The Unliked Family, and The Black Sheep. People always Put labels on others and then group them.

For example the students at Stephenson High School (AKA #1 High School In America)are so judgmental. The football team are too good half the time to associate with the "geeks" or "nerds". The Cheerleaders call the diamonds cheerleader wannabes and they both belittle girls who may not be as "pretty". Even the grade classes have issues. The seniors believe they are superior and let the dreaded superior thought get to them. Then of course every one makes fun of the lower grades even me but I always say i am joking to make sure they know I'm not serious.

Of course there are appropriate times to assert your rank and role such as a club or school sports even in martial arts but you need to know your boundaries on how far you take this rank.

People need to get rid of these ideals that being more popular than someone else makes them better.Of course there are appropriate times to assert your rank and role such as a club or school sports even in martial arts but you need to know your boundaries on how far you take this rank, but they have this screwed up mentality that what state, how much money you spend on clothes and how many girls or guys you talk to makes you better.So how can we eliminate this problem in our society? To eliminate this we need to really look inside and help other people make them rise to new levels with us not leave them behind to fend in the dark. Maybe if we start acting like human beings and treating others like people i think our society will become better.

If you don't learn anything from this I want you to learn that maybe when you make fun of someone or try to separate yourself from them due to "status" think about how much worse their life can get just by you putting them down, think about how many people may say the same thing, Think about how much your hurting them and how much you could really be helping them. Class structures only hurt societies most of the time and you should really second guess how far you take your rank and role in life.

What Will We Do??????


I know a lot of you probably think that your going to college and know exactly what you want to do but how likely is it. Everyone has big dreams think about your parents they probably wanted to be big timers and do great things but then reality set in and they had to give up their dreams and think about the future. Although this now raises another question what will you do in your future and are dreams important. A lot of kids go to college and have a major set in stone until they feel it will be too much, for example they go to college and want to become a doctor or work in the scientific and medical field and take biology, then they switch because biology is either too hard, too boring, or not what they expected. On college tours i have been told this (even though i went to one lol the majority of everyone there took biology and switched). At both my cousins colleges they have told me that people switch their majors due to a change in their interest. I thought that a change if interest is good but why change from something that you love to do such as a dancer trying to get a major in arts or dance then switching to criminal justice and to become a policewoman.....Whats the point of derailing your dreams.......answers I have gotten was It wont pay the bills. This truly says that people believe that you will not get by in this capitalist nation by chasing your dreams and its truly sad.

Wow The Way Things Change


So i was gonna post about Transgenders vs Tran-sexual but a more interesting topic graced my laptop although it really sucks........I am sure if anyone of you went to Stephenson middle school you know senor Grier and then you may want to know that he was charged with 4 counts of aggravated molestation and one statutory rape charge in 2008. He is just now (Feb 5) being jailed and has a new court date. Police and media want to know why DeKalb county school Stephenson middle let him stay there and teach. They defended with we didn't know. Now senor Grier was cool but how could the school have let him teach and not know even so it doesn't change his actions just the schools judge in character. This is a sad story and they don't know who the victim is but its only a matter of time until news finds out and turns her into a TV show for their entertainment but then again its just part of the viscous cycle of news.

I See You Been Hidin From Me


Whats the one thing people always try to hide????

Well I have an answer that I think most would agree...

Oh you do, well hit me with it...

Emotions.

That's right people I believe that the one thing people try to hide from everyone are emotions and their motives behind their actions. Think about it in terms of relationships and actions. When people try to engage in a talk with someone what do they do first after checking the person out......they survey the area for any witnesses. This isn't a fear out of cheating in most cases but its just the fact people would feel uncomfortable about hitting on someone while they're friends are there being nosy. I mean you go up to a girl and say hello how are you and try to speak to her and her friends are there judging and staring at you and it gets pretty awkward to the point where it may be better for you to turn around and walk away with your tail between your legs and your pride still intact. Now not everyone has these fears but most would probably agree you hit on someone in private. Like girls will be talking to someone and then when they want affection in front of people some guys may be scared because they're friends are there. I am not one of those people to be scared to show affection but I hate flirting in front of her friends.Another example would have to be when people put on a show to gain attention.

Now onto the purpose behind this post, it all comes down to the simple question.... Why? Why must people hide there emotions behind a mask whats the purpose. Some answers to this could be nervousness, depression, fear, anxiety and even excitement. Now everyone does this thing but what are some actual ways to conquer this big mental game of charades. Some people are basically scared of being judged by their peers and don't want to get embarrassed. Here are some solutions I developed to counter this ( I hope they help).

Some Personal Solutions:
1. Just do it: If you have something on your mind and your emotions are holding you back just act on it and it should probably work out.Although you still need to think about your actions don't forget that.

2. Its all in your mind: These emotions are all in your mind and there is really nothing you can do except for to be calm and take control of the situation. Just because it might be embarrassing doesn't mean you should give up on it.

3. Stop Living In Denial: If you want to overcome this stop living in denial and letting your emotions control you. Take charge of them and do what you feel. You shouldn't have to feel like you have to do something a certain way because others do it that way be original and do your own thing.

These Are The Top 3 That Helps Me. Personally For Now I Say Just Try This And New Methods Until You Find A Good Counter Measure
