When it's Time to say Goodbye
I don't want to let go of your grip
I have chills running up and down me when were together
we stay as one for minutes
crying
wishing that you didn't have to go.
your next leave is in a year
and
i already miss you.
Your green camoflauge uniform scratches against my body
and thats when i remember you have to go.
"I'll write you,"
I say.

Poem
Poetry is the light
in the dark
Poetry is the feeling
to your feeling
Poetry
can be anything.
Poetry takes you on a adventure
and you might never come back.
It's to be or not to be,
Poetry is you
in every way.
in the dark
Poetry is the feeling
to your feeling
Poetry
can be anything.
Poetry takes you on a adventure
and you might never come back.
It's to be or not to be,
Poetry is you
in every way.

Author's Note
"Neglect occurs when a child or teen doesn't have adequate food, housing, clothes, medical
care or supervision. Emotional neglect happens when a parent doesn't provide enough
emotional support deliberately and consistently pays very little or no attention to a
child." ("Abuse")
Neglect usually happens when a parent doesn't care enough for their child. In a child's perspectives it could be difficult to care for yourself or even for yourself and another person, and that's how it is in my picture book. "In the year 2007, 7,120 kids suffered from neglect. 63% said the parents had been neglected when they were younger or have passed experience with drug or alcohol." ("Drug Abuse, Alcohol Add to Child Neglect") Neglect can be lack of care with food, clothes, hygiene, and attention towards child.
Remi in my picture book has to deal with the situation of caring for herself and for her younger sister Ella. Remi always knew her mom was neglecting her but she never wanted to face the truth, she was lying to herself and Ella. The truth is Remi really loved her mom and didn't want to believe what was happening. Remi and Ella had always been into dance, ever since they were born. When the recital comes up an her mom does come, their mom realizes without saying words that she's sorry for missing everything.
Truthfully I have had no experience with neglect or abuse. Even when I hear from someone that their parent beats them in a kidding way I still get the chills. Beating and neglect is something that should never happen to a child, I feel it shows the wrong actions to take and teaches their kid the wrong thing and most likely the kid will start to abuse and neglect their child. My friend from elementary school would always come to school saying her mom beats her, and she always said that she was going to call someone about it but she never did. Being my age I didn't know what to do but I hated the situation I was in.
Hopefully everyone soon comes to the realization Ella and Remi's mom had.

Research Project #2 : Cutting
Good website of cutting
This website gives me lots of information on cutting. It gives me information on how to help someone, what cutting is, why people cut, what they feel when they cut, it just gives me a lot of information on cutting. It says a lot about the way people feel and what happens when they do cut themselves.

Research Project #1: Abuse
SIRs
In this article, they mainly talk about how if your parent had been abused you have a higher chance of also being abused or neglected. In 2007 1,200 kids had reported being abused or neglected, and 8 kids had died. The kids get trauma from it, and it is then hard to live their life. There was also a report to the government that there had been a lot of abuse but most of all sexual abuse from parents to their kids. It was said that most parents would abuse their kids if they were drunk or had a overdose of drugs.
Abuse Examples
In this article there is a girl explaining what her dad does to her. He shoves her and calls her name. He mostly does it when he is drunk.
It says that there are 4 types of abuse.
Physical Abuse, you can usually tell on a kid if he gets physically abused because there will usually be scares or bruises on him or her. The actions that may cause it is kicks, punches, biting, choking, pinching, shaking and more.
Another one is Sexual Abuse, its when there is any type of physical contact between an adult and anyone younger than 18. If it is between an adult to another adult it is called incest.
Emotional Abuse, is an abuse that is very hard to tell. It is when someone is overally critizes a person, to the point where they have little or no self esteem.
Neglect, is when the parent isn'g giving adequate care to a chile. Not buying the food they need, water, clothes, or medical care. When the parent also gives their chid little to no attention. Neglect doesn't mean though not giving their chile what they want, for example a t/v or phone.
Parent to parent or child to child isn't the only way to abuse someone. Abuse is also bullying, racist jokes, religion, abilities, gender, or sexual orientaion.
Realizing abuse can be hard for some kids, because if they grew up with being abused they think it's a regular lifestyle and they know what to expect. So thats what causes them to abuse their child when they grow up because they think it's right.
There is no single reason for abusion. people might think it is their fault or they deserved it but it is never that case. You never deserve to be abused. Reasons why you might be being abusive is that if your parents abuse you, you learn from that trait, or if you are filled with a lot of anger, the only way to get it out is to be abusive to other people.
Everyone can learn how to stop to be abusive. It just might take sometime.

Social Awareness #6
The beating
I'm not gay i say!
Slap
Slam
Slip
Still
Survive
The horrible Beating.
My heart is racing
fast as can be
as the boys all start laughing at me.
They hear a teacher,
they
run as fast as they can, to get away from me.
I sit there still, but the room spinning around me.
I hear a young women
"Are you ok"
But i can't answer, the blood from my nose is dripping down to my mouth, my lips feel like they can't open, i was to hurt to even start to cry.
I managed to open my mouth
the only words that came out were
"Help."
