I think the people who abuse their kids are dumb, I mean if you didn’t want a kid, should off never brought him/her in this world. I think that they abuse their kids because maybe they have a drug abuse problem or maybe problems with alcohol or something like that. But even all of this I think there is still no reason for abusing an innocent kid. Other parents might abuse their children when the parents, mom/dad fight.  I think one of the sad’s things is to hit a child. What I don’t understand is, how could they have the heart to put a hand in a child and not feel bad?  And the worst’s part is that the kids can’t even say anything because they could be afraid to get more hurt, by there parents.  Abuse is very dangerous to kids, well not only to kids put to anyone who gets abuse.  Abuse can lead to all kinds of stuff; a kid could even die over abuse. Most abuts take their problems by beating their kids but that’s not rite.

         When I was younger I had a friend that was child abused by her parents. I remember she would always come to school with  burses

Teenagers and relationships

                I think relationships are cute when it’s an intimate relationship that does not include anything that has to do with sexual stuff. Now a days everybody want to have sex, people don’t even want a relationship, they just look for what they want.  We can’t say that it’s only the guys anymore. Because girls are the same now a day’s two. My question would be why? I don’t understand, maybe it’s because as you get older, you want to experience new things and everything but, it’s not right to have sex with anyone you early meet, because that how HIV comes in and other things that can be cause by having sex with a lot of people. And most teenagers relationship only last couple of weeks, maybe months. But even these early relationships are part of their lives, which means they remember everything that happened inside their relationship.               

                   There is different types of relationships, like the romantic unisex one and long-term one..Most teenagers seem to choose sex one. But that only some there is still relationships that are loved, like when the girl is in love and the guys is two, I think that the girls are always going to get more emotionally involved than the guys. That because girls are more sentimental.  To me loving a person is something cute and important, I think it’s the felling that you get when you fall in love with somebody. You feel like you found the perfect guy, but still don’t rush things.  A relation is better when you know that special person is with you because they love you, not because of what you give them, referring to sex and all those stuff.  I think that when you get involved in a relationship, your support to actually feel it, and experience the love that, the person has for you. A good date for me would be, when like, you go out to the movie and to eat or something, you know having fun and sharing, talking to that person you’re in love with. Teenagers that just look for sex in a relationship should just slow down and actually take their time for know this feeling.

                Most guys and girls just ply around and don’t take thing seriously because maybe in the past they been in live and got there heartbroken, which I understand it takes time to get what someone do to you, when you loved someone and then to find out that the person really never love you. But you still need to give changes, everyone is at least ones is going to cry or whatever for their first love, but you got to understand that that’s live and if you never try again ,you’ll never find someone to fall in love with. I think that’s why teens don’t really take each other serious.

Assignment #5

Gangs-->

            I think teens join gangs to look cool. Because I think when they join a gang they don’t even know what they’re doing, most of the people that join gangs think it’s all a game or something. Some other maybe join gangs because they think their always going to have their gang member to be there for them, like when they have a problem, or when they are going to get their butts kicked. Other may get in gangs if they have a older brother or sister that is in a gang, then they’ll want to join a gang too.  I personally think joining a gang is stupid, like I mean, I don’t see the point, people say they join gangs to have a “family” but if you think about it nothing latest forever, and I don’t think they’ll always be there for you. Besides that all you do is get in trouble when you join a gang, I don’t see the fun behind getting jumped.

                My uncle named Chato was in a gang, well more like he still is..  Every time my uncle tells me his stories it makes me tell myself. Wow! His been through a lot.  My uncle is like 48 now, His Chicano; He was born and raised in California. He started getting with gangs and all those stuff when his parents died, He tells me it all started with a little kid games and all the sudden it turn in to a whole different thing. He says that when he was a junior in high school, was when everything started for him, so he stared hanging out with the “gangsters” from the neighborhood he lived then he started doing all kinds of crazy stuff, he says he started doing all kinds of drugs and he became a big o’ pothead, He says that when he got jumped in that gang he was in, he got his ass kick so bad that he ended up at the hospital with stitches and everything, but that was just a way of saying he was a gangster now and he had a new family, so he started getting tattoos representing his “hood” . As he was telling he his story I just sat there kind of surprise how it all starts with something little. So he says, he went to all kinds of parties, so he would get high and drunk and all off those stuff, so since he started going to parties he started having sexual intercourse with a lot of chicks, and he basally was living “the crazy life” he says he was having fun so far, until one day the main head off the gang told him, that he had to show him how down he was for his “hood” so to prove that, he had to get in a fight with a guy from the gang they didn’t get along with, so my uncle said “ok” and a couple of day after that my uncles gang and the other gang had a “rumble”. So my uncle ended up fighting with that guy, but he didn’t only fight with him, he shout him, and after that my uncle ended up in prison he was 20 when he go locked up, and says jail is the nasty’s place you could ever go to, he says the food is nasty and people try raping you in there, he says that when he was in there he regret everything he ever did and wish he would of never got in that gang, because like I was saying nothing latest forever, and he said since that day he got locked up no one was there for him, none of this suppose “homies” where there for him because they didn’t even visit him or anything, the only people that where there for him was “us, his real family”, He says that being in there was living hell; he tells me how people, get high of “gravity hits”, and chocking themselves, not to death but just hard enough to make them fill high. Chato was in there for 23 years.  And now that he finally came out he tells us the story of his life being in a gang, and tells us not to fallow those steps, because as you can see, it doesn’t take you to anything good. And all gangs do is get you in trouble, his stories make me not even try to mess with those stuff, because I wouldn’t want to end up doing time in jail, or any of the things the chato went through, because even though my uncle changes his ways, he says he’ll never forget being in jail for killing a men, and al for stupid stuff that’s how he describes it.  He says he tries to escape it but the memory is always going to put him down, because it always going to stay in this brain.

                Now when I see little kids try to be in gangs I wish they would listen to what my uncle when throw so they really now where gangs lead you and the pain and damage that it does to you. Now a day’s people think that just because you dress with “dickies and a square shirt “your consider a “gangster” but the truth is, you’re not a gangster because of the way you dress or look. Because I guess that not how it works. But what I don’t understand is what is so amusing in gangs?  I think instead of worrying about being an O.G (original gangster) people should worry about what they’re going to do with their lives. And should focus about their carriers, But I guess they want to be gangsters, so they’ll never understand until they see what the real gang war is, until they end up locked up, getting there ass’s kicked or even dying. And when that happened in pretty sure I can almost guarantee that they’ll learn and regret. But maybe for some of them, it’ll be too late.

Assignment #4

Teen suicide - Most teenagers commit suicide when they feel sad, lonely, and depress. The cause for this can be a lot of reasons, based upon research; over one million people commit suicide every year. Teenagers commit suicide because of problems they might be facing, like troubles at school, fight with their parents, or even brake ups and stuff like that. Depression is a big part of why teens commit suicide most of the time, Depression allows teenagers to sink into ideals that everything is hopeless and there is no reason for trying to fix their lives. teen get depress when they do something wrong, or when people bother them, when they feel hopeless and there is when they start thinking they got no reason to live. Some other teenagers can also go in depression, when a family member dies or her/him parent are drug addicts or have a problem with alcohol abuse. When teenagers become depress and they start thinking.

They don’t need their lives anymore, they start doing drugs, and alcohol abuse. . But what most teens don’t know is that when they commit suicide everyone around them gets affected, like their parent, family, neighbors, and friend. Some of this teen, before they kill themselves, they try to talk to people about it or sometimes give them a clue. But the problem is that sometimes parents, or friends don’t know how to listen, when teen have problems in school; and commit suicide because if that, they tell teacher sometime but most of the teacher don’t do nothing, the points that you can always try to prevent it from happening, but you don’t until you see a kid dead.

 Most of reasons for suicide is; school. My cousin went through something similar related to suicide: this is what happened; When we recently moved to Albuquerque, my cousin who is in 8th grade started going to school here, and since she was new some girls didn’t like here, so they stated bugging her and pushing her in the hallways, and this one girl told her one day when they were sitting in the class, that girl gave her a note and it said “I’m going to beat you up”. So my cousin ignores it and continues doing what she was doing. So on Friday of that same week she pushed here against the trash can during lunch, when the bell ring and her friend and her where going to the buses, that girl and her friends (they were 4) they came behind her and stated beating her up. So I guess those girl got caught, so the lady from the office call us and told us what had happened, so me and my aunt when to the school. We talk to the principle and al she said was “sorry, the girls already got suspended”. And she basalt didn’t do nothing about it because 2 days later the girl where backhand up to know they are still bothering her. My cousin talks to me and she was telling me that she was going to runaway and all this because she didn’t wanted to go to school anymore. This story is an example of why teenagers commit suicide.

The story of when I got kind off bulled: Well actually I never got bullied like in school or got beat up or anything like that, but when I was leaving in phoenix we (Mexicans) got judged a lot because if the color of our skin.  One time when me and my aunt were on our way to the mall so we were waiting on the bus stop to ride the bus and there was this white guy next to us, and he just keep on looking at us so when the bus finally got there, he pushed my aunt and she “B****, let so, back to Mexico.  And I was like “excuse me” and he just looks at me and went inside the bus. So when he was getting off the bus, he said, they shouldn’t let immigrants ride the bus.

Assignment #2

Hello, my name is Mariana Rodriguez, I come from a Hispanic family I was born in Phoenix Arizona, I leaved there basally all my life, and I’m 16 years old. I barely moved with my family to Albuquerque.  Moving to a new place was really weird for me, honestly, I don’t like New Mexico.  But him trying to get used to this place since when’re going to stay here for a while. I don’t really know a lot of people and this place seems boring to me.  Anyways, well l I like Italian food and playing basketball. And that’s just a little bit about me. 

I consider myself as being unique because I’m a loving person and I try to help other when they need it. For most of the part I am a sensitive person well... in the inside because I don’t  like showing other people my emotions, like if I’m mad or sad I hide all that under  a big smile. I’m really friendly to, for most of the part I don’t like talking about people, to me all of that doesn’t matter. I hate drama and ignore people who bring it in my life. I’m unique because I feel like I’m a really good kid, in school, at home, at work or whatever. I like to laugh a lot too. I’m a person that likes to joke around, with mostly everybody. I don’t like people who can’t take jokes or never laugh, like that people that are always mad/ angry and you like “what wrong” and they ignore you and stuff, those people bug me .I’m not afraid to speak my kind out. Like I said I think I’m special and unique because I get alone with people I’m loving, funny, and drama free.

My purpose in this world is to be successful and make money.  I want to study to be a doctor and hopefully I’m good at it so I can get paid. I already have a life planned, here is the story: I want to move out when I turn 18and go to college you know have a career and party while I can. If I make it to collage I want to move back to Arizona and go to A.S.U. while I’m in there I want to study to be a doctor, and once I do, and I become a doctor I want to have a big house on top of the mountain, like where it’s snowing and stuff, since I like the cold weather.  I want my house to be big I want a 2 story, I want the inside to be burgundy, kind of like a maroon color, and my couches to be zebra stripes:]. I want to get married to a man that has a life, you know, that’s making money two. I don’t want to have kids until I actually have my carrier completed.  I know my ideas sound a little crazy but I believe in myself and I know I can’t work hard to accomplish my dream and the way of life. I’m actually pretty glad that I actually want to be something in life, unlike some other people in world that are low lives.  I am going to try really hard to make it happened. But we’ll see because things don’t always come like planned.

How I relate with others:  I think being nice to people has a lot to do with relating with others.  Also being funny and having a good sense of humor. Most people like me mostly because I worry about myself, and what I mean by that is that I’m not in other business that doesn’t correspond to me.I like meeting new people , and trying new things.

Assignment #1

Performers have the special ability, even among the Artisans, to delight those around them with their warmth, their good humor, and with their often extraordinary skills in music, comedy, and drama. Whether on the job, with friends, or with their families, Performers are exciting and full of fun, and their great social interest lies in stimulating those around them to take a break from work and worry, to lighten up and enjoy life.

Performers are plentiful, something over ten percent of the population, and this is fortunate, because they bring pleasure to so many of us. Performers are the people for whom it can truly be said "all the world's a stage." Born entertainers, they love the excitement of playing to an audience, and will quickly become the center of attention wherever they are. Performers aren't comfortable being alone, and seek the company of others whenever possible-which they usually find, for they make wonderful playmates. Performers are smooth, talkative, and witty; they always seem to know the latest jokes and stories, and are quick with wisecracks and wordplay-nothing is so serious or sacred that it can't be made fun of. Performers also like to live in the fast lane, and seem up on the latest fashions of dress, food, drink, and music. Lively and uninhibited, Performers are the life of the party, always trying to create in those around them a mood of eat, drink, and be merry.

The Performers' talent for enjoying life is healthy for the most part, though it also makes them more subject to temptations than the other types. Pleasure seems to be an end in itself for them, and variety is the spice of life. And so Performers are open to trying almost anything that promises them a good time, not always giving enough thought to the consequences.

Like the other Artisans, Performers are incurably optimistic - "Always look on the bright side," is their motto - and they will avoid worries and troubles by ignoring them as long as possible. They are also the most generous of all the types, and second only to the Composer Artisans [ISFPs] in kindness. Performers haven't a mean or stingy bone in their body-what's theirs is yours-and they seem to have little idea of saving or conserving. They give what they have to one and all without expectation of reward, just as they love freely, and without expecting anything in return. In so many ways, Performers view life as an eternal cornucopia from which flows an endless supply of pleasures.

Elizabeth Taylor, John Goodman, Marylin Monroe, Judy Garland, Magic Johnson, Pablo Picasso, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Elvis, and Leonard Bernstein are examples of Performer Artisans.
