Child Abuse…You may not see it, but it’s there!

Why do parents hit their children? Who’s fault is it, the parents or the child’s? Or is there a third party? When is it okay? Should the age of the child matter? What’s the law’s say in Child Abuse?

            The answer to most of these questions is: Child Abuse is illegal. The law says so, and as a matter of fact, any abuse between families is illegal. The age of the child should never matter because if he/she is still young, they obviously don’t know anything yet; the parent should advice them, not abuse them. And if the child is old, and on the verge of reaching adulthood, they are smart enough to know what’s right from wrong and are responsible for their own actions. So, it’s never okay for parents to hit and punch their children.

            The reasons why parents abuse their children is a list that could go on forever. It could be a way the parent deals with their anger issues. Hitting their children could be the bath to releasing any stress or problems they may have. Of course, that still doesn’t make it okay. The parents should find another way to get rid of their problems, by talking to someone, doing some kind of activity, anything other than abusing their children. Another reason might be because the parents themselves have been abused in their childhood, so to get back at their past, they take it out on their children. It’s still never okay. Talk to someone, tell them how you feel, and if talking is not your thing, do an activity, get a hobby, because abusing your children is certainly not one.

            Last, but not least, parents might hit their children because of something the child did. It could be anything, lied, stole, got him/herself in some kind of trouble at school, didn’t bring home a good grade, so the parent might feel like whooping them is a good punishment. Haven’t you ever heard of the saying “Violence is not the answer”? Because it isn’t. Find another type of punishment, like grounding, suspending favorite items, long lectures—believe me, children hate them—anything other than abuse to let them know that their actions were wrong.

            Parents, if you abuse your children, you won’t get away with it. Someone will speak up, and believe it or not, you will get in big, big trouble. You might even get your children taken away from you and put into a home where abuse doesn’t exist. All I want to say is, your children are people too. They have feelings and a heart, and abusing them is not going to help solve any problem, it’s only creating another one.

SHOPPING (:

Sooo yesterday I went shopping. Now I know what you're thinking. "Okay? So? Everyone goes shopping? What's the point?" I'll tell you what's the point. I entered a contest and won $500 and I decided that I was going to spend it's money on shopping for me and my family. And so yesterday was the day we planned to go. We went really early and were at the mall until about 7:30 pm. We had so much fun. It was the first time in a very very long time that my family went out like that together, and I was so glad that it worked out and they enjoyed it.
I bought so much clothes by the way, it's not even funny.

FAVE STORES! --

Insidious...

Okay, so I went to see this movie, Insidious, not thinking about what it's going to be like (knowing me, I ignored the creepy cover and the tailors). But god, oh, god. It's the creepiest movie on this planet. I think I actually screamed in that movie theater about five times...
I hate it and I love it at the same time. Watch it. But watch it in daylight so you don't have nightmares.

P.S: I think they filmed the entire movie at night, because there wasn't a single scene where the sun was actually up.

Ramadan!

Well it's the middle of Ramadan and I've been fasting everyday until 8pm. It's torturing, yes that's the word to describe it, but it's for a good reason.
Why we do it? Well I suppose it's so that we feel what the homeless people that don't get any food are going through, and it's in respect for God.
Who can do it? Well I was watching TV the other day and this man came up to talk about Ramadan. He said that kids who haven't gone through puberty yet aren't aloud to fast. And for kids and adults who have, well it's not a you-have-to, but it's more of a responsibility, you don't have to do it, but you should.
How on earth do I spend my day? Ha! Well first, I try to wake up as late as possible, maybe around 1:30-2:00, and I spend my day either watching TV, writing, blogging, just doing things that take time away, you know?
Well that's all I guess. I have about 4 more hours until I can eat, so let them just end...PLEASE!

Butterflies And Rainbows

There's this girl that I know, who only smiles. Sometimes I think that that's the only thing she's capable of doing. Every time I see her, she grins, her mouth touching her ears, showing her full set of teeth, her face glowing. But that glow never reaches her eyes. Nobody else seems to notice it, but every time she smiles, it's only her mouth, but not her eyes, not her soul. Everyone seems to think that her life is perfect, that she's always happy, that it's all butterflies and rainbows for her, but they can't see what she's really going through, the pain that passes through her everyday and night, the tears she sheds every night, the scars that she's hiding...
I just want her to know that I notice. I can feel her pain, even though I'm not going through it, I can see it in her. I just want her to know that I'm here for her.

Why am I on this you ask?

Well hello there reader. I've always wanted to start a blog you know, because I think that it's cool to write what you feel and think without anyone even knowing who the heck you are. But I'm going to be honest here, I'm kind of nervous here, because I don't really want to post something that no one will like. So I'm going to do the best I can, and hope you enjoy!
