Funny anecdote

*This is not my story this happened to my dad's friend*

My dad's friend Bo French was going to take his team that he coached camping after their big victory over rival team the cougars. They went out camping, got the fire started and all the tents out for the night. Meanwhile, Bo French thinks it is funny to put unopened Pepsi can into the fire. As the night went on, noone knew a thing about it and Bo became more and more anxious. They were telling ghost stories, this one was about the story of the haunted lake monster. " There the boy was swimming in the lake at night, when".....BOOM the can exploded. This sent the kids running and screaming out of fright. The explosion sent embers high into the air which lead to more panic. The kids were running "Owww, Ehh, Ahh, Ohh" stepping on every pinecone and rock that they could find.

This goes to show, when your coach asks to go camping always I repeat always check the fire for soda cans.

Bullying in schools

Results:

1. I have been bullied sometime during the school year - 4 said yes 3 said no

2. I have bullied someone during this year - 2 said yes 5 said no

3. I have witnessed someone being bullied this year - 5 said yes 2 said no

4. The general statement was that they just ignored it ; maybe for their own safety or just didn't care. I don't know

5. Bullying is a problem in our school - 6 said yes 1 said no

This shows how big of a problem bullying is in our and others school. We often are bullying someone without them knowing it or being bullied ourselves. When we see it we look the ohter way. We need to fix this and the only way is to stick up for the "little man". Put a stop to bullying or just tell a teacher it is as simple as that.

Omar al-Bashir

Omar al-Bashir is getting away with murder. First he targeted Darfur now South Kordofan.

It is sad that even in todays world where we said we would never let the Holacaust happen again it is happening. What is worst of all we don't even care because it doesn't effect us.  We aren't doing anything about it and it is just like the Holacaust.

This means to me that you can learn from your mistakes. That if you chose to forget you won't know what to do to fix or prevent it in the future.
