How do you answer a question regarding a new outlook that has nothing to do with even your own gender? Question? What problems do boys experience in today's society? We always hear about the girl's problems and the drama they experience and create, so what do boys go through that we do or do not go through? How are we to answer the questions that even your own gender can not explain abojut itself? No one individual is created the same.
I have about or are aquatinces with about six sets of twins and one set of triplets. Hardly any similar tastes in style or personalities. One of the six sets are boy/girl. So with being born within the matter of minutes of each other, it still shows that you can never have a scientific duplicate of yourself. Every thought and action is that of your own free will.
So if you can hardly say what your twin is thinking or doing how can you expect to answer a question on a generalization of what a boy in our society experiences or thinks, there is a reason why men and women will never understand each other, mainly because you can't even understand your own gender have the time.
To make matters worse within the realm of the same gender you have various characteristics that group the gender together and within that you have similarities' of different groups that the person you're grouped with first doesn't share with the others that you are now grouped with and vice versa.
People sometimes experience the bond between an individual and it seems that you were born to find each other, you were born to separate families and yet it feels as if you have been with them since the dawn of time, how do you explain the phenomenon that transpires? Sad truth is that with this intense bond you still can't explain the one person's thoughts and experiences and the feelings that went through them at the most intense moments in their life.

Girls, Girls, Girls. What has Society Done to us?
The question to answer is not, "What's Wrong With Girls?", but "What Does Society Do to Girls?" Posts that have been written list what society does or how society views girls in generlizations.
Conversations struck up when people made generlizations about boys; so how is writing about girls or what we add to our writing as a whole any different? Gender aside, it is proven that who you surround yourself with, their actions tend to rub off on you. Many people don't want to claim that their impressionable; to say so would be a weakness in their eyes. I myself agree, I don't want to say that those around me leave an impression, an impression so great that my actions mirror theirs. I want to be "Myself". (That in itself is a humerous thought. When you think about it, when if ever do you really know who you are.)
Society in the United States, is about the "Perfect Image", from coner stores to huge malls, there are images of the idealilistic people, couples, and families. The one obsticle of the perfect anything is the sentence that our parents always said, " You Can Be Anything You Want To Be." That sentence is the curse of the perfect image.
You would think that it would be the fuel to the fire for the perfect image. Sadly if you don't bend to the guidelines set before our time, you are pushed aside and forgotten all because you strive to be yourself. This goes for male or female. How many times have you heard of a son taking over the family business? How many times have you heard of a daughter going into a field that suits more to societies liking then to her own? All because she didn't want to be labled as "Different". These examples go for anybody.
For generations men were considered the breadwinners, women were the homebodies. Not only were the roles set in stone for the adults, but even the children from kindergarden to highschool, had personal obligations to their families to be seen as the "normal, ideal household," My grandmother remembers going to school in dresses and skirts, making sure that skirts covered her ankles. Whereas today, indiviuals dress to the bare minimum.
Slur words to describe "unruly" girl behavior where whispered under breaths and said behind closed doors. Truthfully the girls behavior is nothing that is standards for today. To even be associated with these girls brought the harsh rumors on you. You may laugh, but just look down the school halls, the actions being displayed is beyond the imagination of the past generations, let alone the words that we throw at each other every day.
To critizie any gender for behaviors is unethical, when really you can't call anyone "Normal". When you peel back the layers to the bare esstineals, the norm for society is different for every indiviual.

My Future Passion
I am a junior in high school, I have no idea what I'm going to wear tomorrow, let alone what I really what to accomplish in my life. Sure I have hopes, dreams, and wishes, every teenager does.
With a whole decade under my belt, and only four more years till my next, I still have no idea what that "Great Big World" is like. I was blessed with a miracle for a sister. She may not be able to communicate with word of mouth, or play intense sports, or even walk straight at all times. She is the main drive behind my goals and what I want my future to be involved with.
The field of education that I hope to reach to the highest degree is called FMD (Function Mental Disability), this field involves helping and teaching children with mental and physical disabilities. These disabilities are too serious to allow the students in everyday classes. My sister is one of these children. Since she was diagnosed with severe epileptic seizures with a small case of cerebral palsy on her left side. She has been put in a classroom off to the side with other incredible individuals that are her closest friends and peers.
It hard to put in words exactly what my life is like. I don't know how to describe certain circumstances that seem unreal to others my age, when that is all I know. Parents want to be able to share their attention to every one of their children my brother and me wouldn't know what to do if we got it anyway, don't get me wrong, me and my brother would both give up anything our parents give to us just to see Melodee smile. I didn't always believe that a smile would make the darkest moments the brightest but witnessing hers is exactly what it does. Just being in her presence, brightens anyone's day.
The only thing that I truly dislike in the system is that these children are left in the corner room off to the side, forgotten. They aren't literally forgotten, but it still seems like this program is still in the early 1900s, where the not so perfect individual is kept secret and out of "normal society". I know this isn't what happens now, because these actions are for the protection of the students with disabilities.
When Melodee walks the hallways in her school, she doesn't get to experience the crowds and the laughter and conversations that take place in the lapse of five minutes. Granted she would probably be trampled, but to her I imagine school is a small room that's it, she never gets to see past peers that attend everyday classes.
My one goal behind my passion in FMD, is to educate not only the students I may have, but also to educate the students throughout the entire school. I want to be able to provide experiences with special individuals that are born into unwanted circumstances and how they never complain about the petty obstacles that we moan and groan about on a daily occurrence. I want to share the amazing gift I was given when I was blessed with my sister.

Paid to Donate? Really?
Charity? Is anything given freely anymore? Of couse not, it's almost laughably to think that someone would give something for nothing. Where did morals go wrong? Students don't give supplies to teachers or turn in work ahead of time for nothing, so why would they be expected to do any different as an adult?
I beileve that students are given an option to recieve points and passes to improve their grades. Everybody does it. Morals have changed, not to drastic, but just enough that it's noticable. People donate to make themsleves feel better, not to make the cause better. Chariable contrubutions that are tax decduable is one example.
I don't really care that people do this, because when you have a cause that you are passionate about you do anything to help that cause strive. Maybe it is against your morals. Maybe you also had a good charity drive that week. It all depends on your personal morals, and how you want to accomplish your goal. Fewer and fewer people are becoming leaders, if you want to go against the grain and accomplish something great, then don't let the responsibity slide and fall on someone else's shoulders. Stand and Deliver.
