Senate fails the people

                           Yesterday the Senate didn't pass the common-sense gun reform, which would require people would purchase guns undergo a background check. Twelve people went to the Senate who lost their love ones at the mass shooting Sandy Hook. They were hoping they would pass the law, as so was I, but that didn't happen. Which is so disappointing and unfair to America and the victims and their families. How can someone not pass the bill, especially to those young children, who lost their lives.  Those who voted against the gun reform didn't even had one reason for why they shouldn't pass it, but it was all about politics, the second amendment. I know it's our right as a people to bear arms, but it isn't a right for innocent people to die due to someone else stupidity or mental problems that bear arms. Enough is Enough! America as a nation needs to take a stand to make a gun reform. The reform would have better background checks, and background checks for those purchasing guns, ban assault weapons, and limit high capacity ammunition magazines. It would prevent a gun being in the wrong hands. 

Call your Senator to make a difference!!!

                                                       Education

             Today in class we had another group discuss their topic. It was about a 8 or 9 year old boy Tanishq Abraham, who is a genius. He and his sister both had a high IQ at the age four.  He actually takes college classes and wish he could take more. He doesn't feel challenged in his regular grade, so there no point in having him be in class we're he's going to get bored. I can say he values his education and loves learning.  In the school system they won't let him go any further, because he is so young. Having him further his education, he may be exposed to things he doesn't know. He's a genius he probably already knows about this. I think he should be allowed to go further, he will have a parental  guidance with him, because he's so young. I do believe they should have programs for children like him, because he is truly gifted to be so smart. It's not fair to have programs for children who have difficult learning and comprehending, because they are gifted as well. It also, makes me think how much we need to value or education. We also discussed if we didn't receive grades or any degree would we go to college? or If we would go to school for the knowledge or money?  For the first question I wouldn't because it wouldn't be a point for me to go if I'm not receiving anything in return. I would say I go to college to have a better job and will be able to be stable but in the path I will be receiving knowledge along the way. I have to know what I'm doing and information in what I want to become, so I can say I want the money and knowledge.      

           

                 
           

                                        BULLYING

                   In class we discussed bullying in society. Their was an article about a young boy committed suicide, because he was being teased about his farther. It lead to him taken his own life, which is sad, he was so young.  Also, a smaller boy punching a bigger boy, the bigger guy had enough and reacted and picked the little kid up and slammed him. It was crazy, it may seem that the big guy was wrong, but I feel one someone puts their hands on you, you have the right to defend yourself. No one has the right to put their hands on you that crosses the line. Yes, you may feel that the boy was much smaller, but he knew the gut was much bigger then him and he shouldn't been picking on someone at all.  Bullying gone to the extreme, children are killing themselves due to it and people you are bullying them. While in class we had a few people opened up about their bullying experience and how they had enough or couldn't take it. I'm glad they overcame their situation.  Everybody is going to talk about you or even laugh at you, but that shouldn't bring you down, it takes confidence and strength so they won't get to you. If that doesn't work, go tell someone about it. When are we as a society going to take action, especially school systems. Teachers, parents, or guardians need to step up and take to their children and teach them, everything a child learns is from home.  I hate bullying, their is no need for someone else to put someone down and keep doing it over and over again. To me the bully has something going on with themselves and at home. They aren't happy with themselves.  It's really sad, on how our generation is turning out to be, but we can't blame no one but ourselves. If you see someone getting bullied speak out and take action, don't just watch, because you're just as bad as the bully if you're watching.
