Public Service Announcement: 

Anyone who's not uplifting you and encouraging you to be your best self is not your damn friend. They are your enemy. Anyone who rather encourage you to inhale marijuana and guzzle down alcohol regularly is against you and have no respect for you at all. Because if they had respect for you, they would have respect for themselves. If they had respect for themselves, they wouldn't settle for anything as low as drug and alcohol abuse. 

Anyone who encourages you to spend your time and money carelessly on things that have no value or things that are destructive to you and your peers, aren't your damn friends. 

Your friends aren't the ones who think highly of you 24/7. Who only compliment you when you are doing your best. Who's only around when you are looking your best. They are their at your worst and carry some of your load for you. 

Your real friends make your problems theirs and work alongside of you to create solutions. They don't just send up a prayer and tell you everything will be alright. Your true friends will put in their best efforts to ensure that you become the successful individual you are destined to be.

They tell us to further our education, “Go to college and get a degree”. We then say, “we can’t afford college, we don’t have any money”. Then they say, “Financial Aid, you can take out loans to cover your cost and you can pay them back after you graduate college.”   Now we believe a college degree is the way to securing a job position and a way to get out of poverty. “If I graduate from college, I can get the job I want and live comfortably… “If I gradua...

CAMILIA TERRY

          After doing my research on Camilia Terry, I came up with an opinion of my own. First thing, for those of you who say you would have beaten her behind and what not, you would have been in jail as well. I understand you all have hurt inside, but murder is the same sin as beating her up, lying and stealing. Negativity gets you nowhere in life. Do your research before judging someone. I’m sure many of you with these negative feedback's are young minded, uneducated, and have no connection with Jesus Christ.           Yes, it’s wrong to take someone else’s life, but picture yourself growing up in a foster home and the reason you were there in the first place is because your parents were dysfunctional and you were physically, mentally, sexually and emotional abused. Picture yourself as a single14year old mother in foster care. You think you found love and you didn’t because you don...
