Welcome to the Future.

   So I was sitting in Government today and I looked around and realized.. "Oh my gosh.. this is our future. Like.. these people." Frankly, this thought freaks me out. I better mention the fact that I go to the oldest, grossest, and most GHETTO school in all of our town. I would show you a picture but I'm too embarrassed. I should also probably mention that I wasn't in an advanced class.. so yeah. BUT the fact still remains that the future generation of the world is kind of, well, not very bright. I shouldn't say that, it's bright but it's eh, about a 3 watt. Lemme just say ahead of time that I did NOT mean to cause conflict or make anyone upset, but I decided to branch out here and try a post about an issue in our world.

   One issue in our teens is the fact that they have NO respect for any elder whatsoever. You should see the problems that happen at my school. The difference now days is that no punishment will make them feel any trace of guilt at all. Call your parents? They don't care. Get on to them? They laugh. Take their phone? They'll get it back soon enough. Nothing works! Our youth has become stubborn and disrespectful, and frankly it's unacceptable. I kinda feel like a teacher or a parent writing this, but I can't seem to understand why other kids don't see this too. Maybe I'm mature for my age, or maybe my parents have raised me to believe like this; whatever the case, I still believe these things are true.

   I can't even tell you how many fights there has been at North. I'd say at least 20. At a very minimum. Girls are included in the 'fighting' category, in fact there has probably been just as many girl fights as there has been boy fights. In my opinion, this is just plain low. Girls fighting? Trashy. Girls, especially girls just don't fight. It's immature and very just wrong. Those are the only words I can use to describe it. I may be a goody good or something, but I would much rather be that than the words that are used to describe girls that fight. Sorry 'bout it.

   Another growing problem among teen is the inability to say NO. They can't say no to basically anything! It's really not as hard as they make it seem. They can't say no to drugs, alcohol, sex, or just bad choices in general. Addiction has been a growing problem for a while now, but it's peaked in our era. Substance abusers really don't understand what is happening to their body when they give in to it that one time. You can read about that here. The amount of teen pregnancies has also drastically spiked. It's only a matter of self control and simply saying no! They also don't understand the amount of work it takes to raise a child, especially if you haven't even finished high-school. Their lives will never be the same.. ever.

  This is different for me! I wanted to go out on a limb and post something that I care about, and it's a little more of a solemn tone. Don't worry! Funny stuff isn't gone, but there will be more diversity in the things that you read on Just Trust Me..! (P.S: Did you notice JTM got a little makeover??) Stay tuned for more posts about various things! Oh, and check out the new 'labels' feature that I added on the sidebar!

Wacky Wednesdays: School banned lunches brought from home??

   I'm sure that packing school lunches for kids every day is an annoying chore. But what if you weren’t
allowed to?
 
 One Chicago school has banned lunches brought from home, the Chicago Tribune reports. Administrators at Little Village Academy, a public school, say the policy is all in the name of good health. Principal Elsa Carmona told the Tribune she created the policy after watching students bring "bottles of soda and flaming hot chips" for their lunch. What the heck?? It's not that big of a deal! The principal said that it is about quality and nutritious meals that are available for students in the cafeteria. I don't know about this school, but our lunches are anything but quality! I don't even think the chicken is real..

  Unless a student has a medical excuse to bring food from home, the only option other than eating cafeteria food is to eat nothing. (Think those kids will ace a quiz on an empty stomach?) And does something like glucose intolerance merit a medical excuse? What about vegetarianism? Cost is another matter. What if parents don't want to spend money on school lunch because they can send less expensive food from home?

  If I were a parent I would move schools, or put up a big fight. Its ridiculous! Things these days are blown waaaay out of proportion. It's just sad. Anyways, I thought this was a little weird.. Hope you liked it!!

My Mommy!!

     I love my mom with every fiber of my being. We get along soo well, and she makes me happy! We've been best buds for a while..

  And we still are! Recently she got picked as her school's Teacher of the Year! I was immensely proud. She definitely deserved it, and although she considered it a pain in her hiney she was still satisfied with the outcome. Dinner was provided for all of the site teachers of the year and it was very delicious! It started off with a very colorful salad that I found fascinating!

  So I have a confession. I don't have a picture of the main dish because I saw it and dug in. Taking the picture didn't even cross my mind until after it was all gone. I apologize. Since I was so ashamed of my actions I was sure to take pictures of the desert. Talk about YUMMY.

   Here's some pictures of the guests that we had with us.

Grandma and Taylor.

This is my mom with her school's assistant principal.

Mommy and Daddy.

   The center pieces were SO NEAT. I want to steal the idea and use it at my wedding. There was a Daisy floating in water with rocks at the bottom. It was so cute!

   It was a really fun night!

   On the other hand, I have mentioned previously that I LOVE LOVE LOVE sitting on my roof. I decided that I needed to explain this process. Here is my roof and window..

    There's my window. It's great. Anyways.. I love Spring!! Just Trust Me.

Catching Up

    So... I sincerely apologize for my absence. I have been SO FREAKING BUSY with Little Shop of Horrors and of course, homework. I am so sleep deprived, I really don't know how it is possible that I'm still moving. Good things have happened though! Little Shop of Horrors opened Thursday, and it was an amazing show. The audience loved it and I had SUCH blast! It was a truly amazing experience. There will definitely be more shows to come so DON'T MISS OUT! Here are some fun pictures of various people in the play.

That's Mark Fry, he did the voice of the plant. 

   
     It was so fun. There WILL be more of them! Just Trust Me.
