Girl Rising DVD Review and Global Campaign

        Its really weird but until I met my husband I was a very dominant female and felt very strongly about woman being successful and taking care of themselves.  I've watched too many abusive relationships growing up as well girls who felt insignificant to the men around them.  I've even dealt with quite a few situations where parents were actually encouraging their daughters to drop out of high school once they had a boyfriend who they could marry.

Make a Change

  You may think that you don't matter, that you're just being put here not to amount to anything. But your very wrong, you were put on Earth for a purpose that only you can fulfill it. You are absolutely fearless and amazing, embrace it! Be a leader, lead followers to do something unimaginable. We're capable of changing the world. We need to come together as a force, and do something about what we want to change in the world.

  Seventy-seven percent of kids and teens have admitted that they have been a victim of at least one type of bullying, whether it's physical, emotional or online. Adults can get involved in bullying as much as they want and it will only make little difference. It's us as kids, tweens, and teens that need to stand up and make a change!   I knowing bullying is a big issue, and it can be difficult to directly stand up and say something to a bully or someone else for that matter. But if you don't who will? What if that person you see being bullied is thinking this could be their last day? Its time to make a difference. Don't you agree? Let's all take a step forward, and show support, by wearing BLUE on October 1, 2012. You can also buy the sponsored shirts at any Bonton store or at ww.stompoutbullying.org.

Believe

  Everyone has to be turned down at least one time to be able to succeed in the world. My point being that life's a roller coaster, you have to believe you can power through the downs to be able to go up. Surprise people, show them how powerful your inner strength really is. You can do absolutely anything to change your life or the lives of the people around you if just believe in them and most of all yourself.
 

 
We all have different beliefs, when it comes to just about anything. It could be political, cultural, religions and etc. But we all come to together when we believe in one purpose or cause that we need to stand for. For example, I strongly believe that somnething should be done about bullying. Stand up and be heard! Your one voice could inspire millions. Not everyone will agree with you on things, because of their own beliefs. But just because you don't nessarily have support at the moment, doesn't mean to give up. Stand up for what you believe in even your standing alone. Most likely at least one person will hear you along the road and agree. Be careful of the ones that don't, they'll try to change your opinion, but then again you'll try to change theirs. Most importantly believe in yourself, you can do unimaginable things if you just believe you can.  I believe this generation has the power to change the world for the better!
   

Let Me be your Hero

Bullying is everywhere. Now, with all this new technology it has become more popular around the world, ending in more suicides. No one deserves to be bullied, but especially not to the point to where they would take their own life. It should never get to that point, but with bullies online now triggering their victim in their own home from social networks, it can.

Everyone is perfect in their own way. Nobody can be perfect at everything, therefore no one should point  out those insecurities. Keep your head up high, and talk to someone if you are being bullied or know someone who is being bullied; I know this can be scary but maybe that person whoever it is can stop it or give you advice on how to take it upon yourself to help the victim.

I am here to listen to anyone who wants to talk or just share their story. Please comment and i will reply as soon as possible <3

Rumors

"Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me". This is one of my favorite sayings, but some of you would disagree with it. Rumors only hurt if you let them. Don't listen to words that others say they mean nothing.

A lot of people think that all rumors are harmless, when that's not the case. Rumors can start off harmless, for example "Sally likes Bob." when Sally doesn't even know Bob. This what seems like a simple rumor, harmless but it can turn into something like, "Bob is cheating off of Debbie with Sally". This rumor probably broke up Bob and Debbie, made Sally embarrassed, and made everyone in the situation feel hurt in a way. Why did it hurt these three, it was because they believed what people said. So, if they wouldn't of let those
words get to them no one would be hurt. Debbie could have easily avoided the situation if she would have just talked to Bob and Sally to figure out the truth.

A rumor spreads fast and goes away just as quickly. So, if you're the one spreading it, know that it's not just a simple rumor, it could make a BIG difference in someone's life. If you're the one the rumor is about  just remember it's not a big deal unless YOU make it one. Be aware that rumors are everywhere, but there's no need in listening and getting involved in the drama.

Dont Stop Believing

Never stop believing in yourself, if the people around you are telling you you can't show them that YOU CAN! Surround yourself with people that do in fact support you in everything that you do. Sometimes that's not your best friend, but hopefully your family is there for you, but even if they aren't, I believe in you. I believe that ANYONE can achieve ANYTHING if you put your mind to it. Like the song says, "Don't stop believing hold on to that feeling". Meaning to hold on to the feeling of wanting to reach a goal so badly you would do anything to achieve it. Don't ever lose that feeling, it will end up in not achieving. You can do anything! So, whatever you do don't stop believing!! Dreams do come true you just have to believe that they do. :)
