Shawn White arrested

I read an article about Shawn White. He was arrested for pulling the fire alarm. He was in a hotel in New York City. He took 11 shots of vodka and got wasted. He then thought it will be funny to pull the fire alarm. He ran across the hall and pulled it. When they found out there was no fire the guards chased him outside he hoped into the taxi but the taxi driver wouldn’t drive. He punched White and gave him a black eye. He was charged with assault. All in all it turns out Shawn White is not the person I thought he was.  

                I always thought that White was a good sporty guy. I never knew that Shawn will ever do such a thing. I also noticed that most celebrities take advantage of others and there life. They always turn out a innocent famous person into a druggy. I also learned a lot of new things like what happens to celebrity these days. I also learned that Shawn White was bailed out of jail. I also heard that they cut the bail by a little because he was a celebrity. I don’t see why being a celebrity changes the fact that they get a free pass on anything. Also there is always someone that can bail a celebrity out. Allot of times when someone gets arrested it ruins there whole life. There family, career and ect. But for a celebrtity it will just pass in a week. They will have a free pass and it will be like nothing happened.

                I also noticed that fame can twist your whole life to another path. For example Jimmy Hendrix wanted to become a lawyer. He went to law school, and went to the army after his parents died. But fame got him to a place where he experiences drugs and alcohol.  He also never went to law school like he planned and lost his life at a young age. Hendrix died at age 26. In my opinion I don’t think that Shawn wanted to be the guy punched by a taxi drives right after breaking the law.

                In conclusion fame can lead you to another life. I also learned a lot about celebrities and how they are changed by fame.  

Teenage Suicide

I’m reading a book called “teenage suicide” by Peggy J. Parks”. So far in this book I learned important facts that will help me in the children’s book project. This book shows me different reasons why tens take their own lives. It also taught me what causes teenagers to committing suicide. Also this book taught me that more males commit suicide then girls. Teenagers kill themselves in different ways. This book gave me the information I need for later assignments and projects. I also learned that more teenagers consider committing suicide then actually attempting.

Some of the facts I did learn were more females consider committing suicide then male but males actually commit suicide. Females attempt to commit suicide more than males but they do not succeed. Men mostly use firearms and falls more than using suffocation and poisoning. Bullying is mostly what causes suicide, also depression. All in this entire book will help me a lot on my assignments and my recent project.

While I was reading this book I noticed a very important topic. I noticed that there is a way to prevent teenagers from committing suicide. Parents should be more concerned about there children’s social life. Parents also should get closer with their child by talking to them, helping them with homework or just have fun with your child. Also if your child is getting bullied you should talk to the principle.

Another important topic is that how do you know that your child is considering to commit suicide. First thing you want to look at is there grades. If you see your child’s grades sinking that’s a sign. Also if the child isn’t into any activity and not playing around with other kids is a sign of suicide. Also make sure your child is not stressed. Also your child might start cleaning a particular area for example their rooms. If your child is not acting normal or gave up in life that might show depression and that will lead to suicide.

In conclusion I learned that a lot of kids take their lives because of a problem that they think they can’t fix. Such as bullying, abuse and depression. Kids die from suicide almost every day, and my goal is to reduce this problem. Also this book will help me in the future. All in all I hope that I can help save teenagers lives.

No Women No Cry

I’m reading a story on bob marleys wife. The book is called No Women No Cry by Rita Marley.  This story tells me about how she lived in Jamaica her whole life. She went through a lot. Her mom passed away, and she had to live with her mean grandmother. They both went through poverty. They lived in a neighborhood where you would here gun shots every night. Later on she began a reggae band. She sang in cafes and restaurants. Later on she met the Waller brothers the band Bob Marley was in. they both made a song together. They started going out and eventually they got married. They had eight kids. They both became famous. They both sang together in all sorts of countries. Bob had a viral disease and he had to take 6 pounds of marijuana every week. One day bob was playing soccer and he had a foot injury. It was against his religion to get surgery. Eventually it got infected really badly and he passed away at 26 years old.

Rita Marley was a woman that went through drugs, poverty and living in a really bad neighborhood. I think that Rita wanted to live in ghetto places because she mentioned how she loved to be around her friends. Her friends did drugs and one of them was arrested for murder. Maybe she just got used to the ghetto neighborhood that she thinks that she likes hanging out with those kinds of people. Also her mom was addicted to crack cocaine. One day they were going through bankrupt that her mom decided to committing suicide by overdosing. I think that Rita likes to hang out with people that are bad influence on her because of her mom, but on the other hand her dad did leave her. The grandma hit Rita and abused her brothers. Rita also mentioned that singing helps her get away from all the stuff that’s going around her.
