Am I Ugly? Videos

I read an article on Yahoo about young girls posting videos of themselves on YouTube asking the world if they were ugly or not? I watched a video of one girl saying that kids pick on her because she has a large forehead and that she can’t get the boy she likes to show her some interest. The article talked about how some comments gave advice by saying that the girl was pretty and that she just needs to focus on school. Other comments that I read weren’t so nice. I think that these girls need to develop self-confidence and not try to seek out approval of strangers because there’s always going to be someone out there in the world who doesn’t find you attractive.

Hunger Games Movie Review

I recently saw the movie Hunger Games over the weekend and I enjoyed it. I was slightly disappointed because I read the book first and there were a few scenes that I felt they should have included. I liked the actors that were in the movie. Peeta was just like how I imagined him to be. He’s reserved and is good with having the audience fall in love with him. There was one part in the movie where he was being interviewed and was telling jokes that had the audience constantly smiling. Gale was perfect in my opinion. He’s hot but not too hot. I was hoping he would have had a bigger role in this movie, because in the book it talked a lot about how he and Catnis would go out hunting together and I didn’t see them together at all during the movie. I like how the movie portrayed the Capitol people. The bright, intense hair styles and make up were just right. I’m hoping that the next movie will be 3x better.

Extreme Punishment

In Alabama, 2 women were charged in the death of a 9-year-old girl forced to run. According to the article, Savannah Hardin died after being forced to run for 3 hours as punishment for having lied to her 46-year-old grandma about eating candy bars. The girl’s 27-year-old stepmom called police around 7pm, telling them she was having a seizure and was unresponsive. An autopsy report showed that the girl was severely dehydrated and had a very low sodium level. How can a parent punish their child so extremely for eating candy?! There’s nothing wrong with eating a snack once in a while. I don’t think this was the first time she was punished for something like this to where she had to lie about it. It is just really disturbing that nowadays parents are murdering their own children.  

Quote Assignment:

"The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships" - Anthony Robbins

Anthony Robbins is a self-help author and a motivational speaker that has become well known through his books and infomercials.
I chose this quote b/c it is very useful and it made me think anout all the different types of relationships I have and the ones that I don't have anymore. I used to have a great relationsjop with my friend Lexi, whom I have know since our freshman year in high school. As time went on, we began to grow apart and now we hardly communicate. She got engaged to her boyfriend and found a job while I've found a job as well and travel back and forth to see my boyfriend. I think my life would be somewhat better if I still had her around to listen to all my problems and vice versa. This quote can apply to just about every relationship you have whether or not it is with a friend, family memeber, etc... If you have a good, healthy relationship with the people you surround yourself with then your life will mimic that.
