cutting is not an "emo" thing.

http://teenissues.wordpress.com/2009/01/28/cutting-self-injury-stats/

so, did you know that princess diana of wales admitted to having issues with cutting and other depression/self injury issues. do you consider her emo, weird, or weak? i don't. infact, princess diana is one of my role models. she was one of the most good-hearted and genuine people in the world. she dealt with the mistreatment by the royal family, so no wonder she was depressed! many kids deal with self-mutilation issues and it's not something to make fun of or think of them as weak or bad people. they need help, just as anyone does who is struggleing with some other addiction. studies show how most girls who cut are upper/middle class, well-educated, and has history of abuse or alcholism in the family. if you know someone who is cutting, burning themselves, etc, get them help instead of judging them. you may save their life.

does quicksand come out of leather?

Is it worth it?

All the agony and pain

The overwhelming pressure

Is it worth it?

The uncertainty

The chance of losing everything

Is it worth it?

Time goes by

Yet, i'm still stuck in a rut

Is it worth it?

Robbed of my life

The stress is getting to me

Is it worth it?

Once your dead

Sometimes its easier to live

I Have a Date With my Bed Today

My room is a periwinkle blue

It's cold outside, but my bed keeps me warm

The fuzzy blanket comforts my body

I feel relaxed and peaceful

Sleepytime

rant please.

i've been thinking lately on how much our society has changed in the last generation. teenagers in the 60's and 70's had so much more freedom on what they were and were not allowed to do. when my mom was a teenager, drinking wasnt that big of a deal. now we have kids getting underages at homecoming and parties. we have no one to blame but ourselves and the teenagers of our generation. i mean kids today always complain how we can't do anything without parents being involved watching our every step. well maybe if we gave adults reason to trust highschoolers, we might actually have privacy. our world has changed so much in the last 30 years and there are no "jokes" anymore.
we've lost what's important in our lives. today we have girls trying to grow up younger and younger. for example, why would you wanna give you two-year old botox? there is no reason or excuse for that and it just makes me sick. let kids be kids. i have nothing against child beauty pagents and i actually was involved in the child modeling world. however, i do not think it is okay to dye a toddlers hair, give them spray tans, waxing, fake teeth and making them look like their two going on twenty. instead of focusing on what the newest coach bag just came out, we should be worrying about making something of ourselves. i hate to break it to you, but in 10 years, i'm pretty sure everyone from highschool will forget about all the expensive material things you had. your mommy and daddy are not going to be able to bail you out of everything and your gonna have to learn to do things yourself and not have them handed to you.
oh, another thing. it really aggrivates me about how some kids just don't care about anything. like oh i don't care if i fail, or i don't care if i get an STD, or i don't care if im like a three-year senior. like forreal, get off your butt and make something of yourself. i'm not saying if your failing or whatever your a bad person, because i don't know your situation. i am talking about the people who just dont give a crap. move out, get a job, and do something productive with your life.
sorry if this was off topic..i just wanted to rant.

stop spreading germs.

so, this whole being sick thing sucks. i mean the only good that's come out of it was lifetime movies and no school. which now i'm probably behind in all of my classes and i don't know how i am supposed to catch up. anyways, i was watching the pregnancy pact today, and it reminded me of how dumb some people can be. teen pregnancy is no joke, so why do teens want to have a baby? is that supposed to be the new "popular" thing. for real, why would a bunch of girls, 18 to be exact, make a pact to get pregnant. i mean in rare cases, everything turns out fine. but for many young girls they don't finish high school, let alone go to college. it just blows my mind. and then after i watched some akward on mtv to gain a better state of mind. oh, and i'd really appreciate if everyone kept there germs to themselves, because i hate being sick. whoever else is sick in west allegheny, you know my pain right?

Daddy

"Daddy, I'm scared, it's too high"

"Just jump, I'll catch you"

"Daddy I'm scared, I don't wanna go"

"Don't worry sweetie, the teacher will take care of you"

"Daddy I'm scared, what if no one asks me?"

"I'm more worried about them lining up at the door"

"Daddy I'm scared, what if i fail?"

"You're the smartest daughter I could ever ask for"

"Daddy I'm scared to leave home"

"Honey, I'll be visiting you every weekend"

"Daddy I'm scared to say 'I Do', will you walk me down the aisle?"

"That's what dads are for"

Iris

She drank her martini

Watched people walk by

The room was dark and crowded

But her eyes, bright like the moon

Her outfit was expensive,

Not that it mattered

Distracting, turquoise eyes

You cannot look away
