Take a stand

                                                                     Bullying

Do you see that girl sitting in the back of your class hiding under layers of clothes? She's hiding her scars. Do you  see the girl with the ripped clothes?her dad abuses her. And the girl you just called an "attention seeker"? She doesn't get heard at home. Do you think twice before you judge someone? 
Before you judge someone you should try taking a walk in their shoes. You know their name, not their story. A lot of people don't think about that. Bullying hurts. People should treat others the way they would want to be treated. Imagine you being the one that's told you're ugly, worthless and not good enough. Would you like that? The saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt" is a lie, and I'm living proof. Bullying is a terrible thing to deal with. You feel so alone. You fake a smile to others so they think you're okay; but really, you're dying inside. Many people that are bullied get anxiety,mor depression and some think suicidal thoughts. Do you want to be the reason that someone does self harm? Many people wake up each day wondering why they're still here. All they want to do is die. We hear stories on the news and might even know people that want to, or have ended their lives. The world should feel terrible about themeslves. Bullying can happen anywhere; in school, online, through text message, anywhere; And it's our job to stop this. Does there really have to be this much hate? If you notice anyone being bullied or suffering depression, stand by their side. Show them that life's worth living. I have a dream that someday bullying will be gone and that everyone will be treated equal;no matter your size, sexuality , or apperance.
 We are losing so many beautiful lives because of such cruelty. Take a stand against bulling and show others you care.

Next stop:American idol?

Male mice sing to attract female mice. Scientists thought that all male mice could only master one key, well they were wrong. A study from Duke University in North Carolina found out that if two mice are in the same cage and both sing in different pitches, then one mouse can match the other mouse's key. The purpose of this article is to inform humans that mice really can sing and that they aren't much different from humans as far as singing and communication goes. 

Until now, vocal learning had only been used by humans and birds and a few other animals. The fact that mice can actually sing now is something very interesting to us. Maybe some species of animals are closer related to us than we thought. Some questions we can ask are things like, are we going to be able to communicate with mice someday? and Can mice understand us? Now thatwe know that mice can communicate in a similar way that we do, this could help scientists on their studies on  autism and anxiety disorders.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

If I could live anywhere in the world I would live in Nashville. One reason why I would love to live there is because it's a place where many people that love music live. Everywhere has some musical aspect. Also the people there seem very friendly and it seems like its a great place for my dreams to come true as a singer-songwriter and guitarist.
