This is ridiculous

The other day I was randomly checking my yahoo account when I saw “15 year old girl shot and killed days after preforming at Obamas inauguration” on my news feed, which didn’t shock me. After the shooting at the elementary school, my mind will probably never get as blown again. Naturally, I read the article. Reportedly the girl was hanging at the park around the corner from her school with other friends when an unknown person came through and started shooting. She was shot in the back and one of her friends was shot in the leg but still living and they weren’t the targets. This is ridiculous, like really who does that! Today I was checking my yahoo again and a boy was shot at his middle school. What is going on in people’s minds! There are some mentally unstable people with guns out there. If you’re going through something and want to let loose do everyone a favor and get a hobby or play a killing video game and go nuts! If you’re bored get a life and if you’re depressed talk to somebody! People really piss me off when they do things like this and gun violence is getting out of control. Boom! Another innocent and young life gone because of an irresponsible person. Somebody (maybe the government, parents, siblings, kids, or peers) need to fix this because too many people are dying from a bullet.

Three essays

Last class we had to pick three topics for what essays we are going to write this semester. That doesn’t sound very difficult but it was since everyone had to agree on the same three topics out of about eight topics Mr. Sweeney picked and there’s about 24 people in the class. In the beginning everyone was listening but no one was talking. Then everyone talked but no one listened. After a while Mr. Sweeney helped us get things a little more organized. By the end of the class we all agreed on one topic.  It was hard for everyone to agree mainly because people were putting other opinions down more than convincing them to change their minds. I also realized that people weren’t giving any specific topics to help convince people to agree. I think the class has to understand that we have to put some of our views aside to come to a final decision. On Friday we have to come to the conclusion of three topics. I plan to give topics to help the class decide and to be open minded on others opinions. Hopefully in class everyone will do the same so we can get started on our essays.
