DEAR ADIE

Dear 7th grade me,

I know you just  lost your best friend and your boyfriend. I know the divorce is breaking you and dad. Things have been really hard and people have stabbed you in the back, and left you to slowly die and rot. Breathing seems impossible and getting out of your bed is tiring. Dad keeps getting mad at us because we won’t leave our “turtle shell”. You are scared to make him mad, he drinks so much and gets mad at you if you even start to show any sign of “announce” , when really all you want to do is go back to your room to cry and scream. 

The silent nights are when you could think, but thinking always makes things worse. Your thoughts swallow you and devour what feelings and heart you have left. You started hanging out with bad people. You started to do bad things, you started to cut. Dad kept drinking, then he started hitting again, the loud nights were scary. You could hear her screaming at your dad, she is just his girlfriend and you hate her, but her scream, the yelling, devours you and makes you shake., makes you fear him, makes you hide in the closet and under your sheets. 

Things seem too much, and that's okay. You are a child. You are innocent. Just breathe. Hold on and remember things are real. Remember people care, don’t lose your feelings. It’s okay to show emotions.

Stay safe my love, 


Adie

My Cat By: Jenna  You and I are bonded  Like the snow that falls    when it stops, we fall, too it was Like a never-ending call that said "I will be there for you" It might be off and on, sad or happy  It might fall on the wrong person But I will always be there  Like a bunch of white flowers  That gain colors  Eyes that sparkle like a frozen lake  That feeling like when you touch cotton      Soft, but sharp  Lonely, but lovely  Smells like ocean   Fresh and blue Cute and calm  Sweet and spiritual   She's Sour candy  the only one I want to touch  The one I want to spend my life with  And just my best friend

ADALYNN - BIO POEM

-
  BY: Adalynn Adalynn, Who is always lazy and lounging. Who is the sister of Morgan, Cedric, and the daughter of Kelly. Who loves dance, law, and justice. Who feels out of bounds, lost, and simply along for the ride. Who needs to be alone but together, peaceful but chaotic, simple but complex. Who gives simple advice, an honest opinion even if brutal, and a good laugh to others. Who fears feeling empty,things touching my throat, and words I cannot understand. Who would like to see the German cathedrals, Italians statues, and the forbidden city of China. Who shares food, kindness, and knowledge. Who is a human, a dancer, and a gymnast. Who is a resident of Olney, Illinois. Kate.

THIS I BELIEVE - NIKOLAI

I’m sure you’ve had at least one person give you a weird look, even though you don’t know who they are or who they are. They just judged you on appearance. They believe in a stereotype. Regardless of this, or how common it is, there is no such thing as a universally true stereotype. This is a simple belief, and even if people disagree, they cannot prove it wrong. It is a fact. You can say all people of [group] are [thing], but you’re wrong. If you’re right, it’s not a stereotype. And if it’s not a stereotype, it's not an issue. It is then not an opinion, which may be offensive, put simply. If I said “All adults are rude,” I’d be wrong. That’s a simple stereotype. Point out even a single outlier, and you’ve proven someone wrong in their stereotypical beliefs. One moment I can point out here that I’ve had to learn this was when I was playing an online game, and when I tried to talk to someone they said something rude. I don’t remember what they said, but I eventually got it out if ...
