This is me..

       I started this blog as an English project at school. I am a junior at New Prairie high school, I love English it's my favorite subject. I think projects like these are so much fun, I was really exited when my teacher said we'd be doing it. We're supposed to be doing a civil disobedience multi-genre research paper, similar to the seniors capstone project that we do here at New Prairie in order to graduate.
      What I would like to do is get my points and ideas across and for people to comment on what they think. My idea for this project was for the gay community and their gay pride parades, about why they do it and, why others look down on their life styles. one reason is because I am a part of that community and, like I said I like to put my ideas out there. My favorite thing to do is argue about everything, for some reason it excites me. I get really angry when i know I'm right and someone tries to tell me different. Sometimes at annoys my friends, but that's just me. I don't do it just to be mean, I do it because I know what I'm talking about.
       I don't really know all that much about the blogging world, I guess I'll learn on the way though. I think it's most fun when I find someone, like my best friend Sydney, who has similar ideas as mine and we sit in class most of the time in the middle of a debate and there will always be that one person who has not a clue what their talking about and it makes us so angry so we sit and rant like the whole class period, I'm pretty sure our teacher thinks It's the funniest thing ever because we get so mad.
     Anyways, I hope who ever reads will find something that I wrote that they like, or that they don't like, whichever. I hope you comment about what you think. :)

Different

        When people hear about someone who is gay, they think "omg that's disgusting" or, "its not christian like".
       And most kids feel the need to discriminate or harass the "out' kid. It happens in elementary, high school, college, quite frankly it happens everywhere, even between adults. The most common however, I think is in high school. because that's when kids are trying to find out who they are and what there place is in life. Its when we think we have to be in a certain clique or group to be popular and noticed, or worry about how skinny we are compared to other girls. And during these times that we are all going through, who wants to be recognized as the one who associated with the gay kid? In our minds, that kid is different and it scares us.          
        Most of us have never been taught to deal with defferentiality, or we're taught to just stay away from these weird unnatural people. So we commit hate crimes, and discriminate. And you cant be mad at the kids who do it, because unfortunately its the parents who teach their children to do so in most cases. To me its just like being racist. Growing up your mom or dad is racist, and you begin to think its ok to do the same. Its not.
       Its ridiculous and childish. you cant change a person, or their beliefs. So why continue to hate? Its not making a difference in that person, or rather, that community of people.
       And as far as the DADT thing goes, why does it matter whether a person is gay or not? They are fighting, or willing to fight for you to have a place to sleep every night. They are willing to give their lives for the same damn reason that everyone else is in the united states army. Hello? Can you be more ridiculous? Unconstitutional, I don't think so, Read the fourteenth amendment.
