Think before you do...

 Song: "Losing it" By: NeverShoutNever
Link to the lyrics and song: http://www.lyricsreg.com/lyrics/nevershoutnever/Losing+it/

Being loved is something everyone desires and even kills for. Have you ever thought that maybe being loved is as simple as having your family there for you no matter what and your friends being there to support you after a break-up, parents divorce, someone spreading rumors around school about you or even something as devastating as giving everything you have to that special someone. The one that you thought loved you until you gave them what they wanted. Then just left you and said nothing more to you. Makes you think doesn't it? You always hear from your parents to ' be careful' and 'don't get caught up in it. You don't know what love is' when the truth is... Does anyone ever really know what love truly is? Christopher Drew made a huge point in this song by saying "I knew I was only sixteen but I thought I loved her. And it'd last forever. But only if I knew that she wasn't true. How could she do this to me?"
The word 'love' is so over used that no one ever thinks of this. The lyrics in the song that really stand out and that every teenage boy and girl should take into consideration is "You've got your whole life to do these things" Peer pressure is something that happens all the way through life and something that we all have to put up with. So, next time you tell someone you love them... Think about it.

Why be denied because of whom we are? (Girl or Guy)

      From an early age we've been told "Oh no! boys have cooties. Don't touch" or most importantly "Girls have cooties! Run away!" We're all guilty to of said this at one point in time in life. Not to mention all girls have been told "You're a girl. You can't play with us" Well, why can't we?
      There is always somethings a girl can do that a guy can't. And, of course vise verse but, now one of the biggest sports that determine this set of mind is football. The good ole' American sport that has been played since only god knows when. Girls do and have played football from the little league but when it comes to junior high through college even pro. Girls are just meant to be a cheerleader or on the dance team and even in the crowd cheering our boys on. But, what about the guys that could be in the crowd or on the cheer squad cheering on their girl? Now, there are many guy cheerleaders, dancers and ballet performers. But, aren't those supposed to be girls and young woman doing this. Yet, we do not deny that they are forbid from doing these activities. I do agree. We have came a LONG ways from the1800's to 1930's where women had barely no rights at all. Hopefully, one day woman can play this game with pride one day. Just one more thing to add on to the list of things that we can do.
