That 12 year old child...

Why is it that, as a child and manners were breathing down my neck, i got in trouble more then a child who is brought up with no manners does?
This makes no sense.

Growing up in my grandparents house could be rough. They always expect you to know your manners and if you didn't know them, you were taught them. It was simple yet so hard.

But now-a-days this concept is overshot by guilt and emotion. Kids don't know their manners like I was taught and that kills me for I am still a kid myself and cant help teach it to them.

Emotion is overbearing at times. I understand this but that doesn't mean you can raise a child to have no manners and no respect.

He is 12 now. Perhaps to old to help. I dont think so. Respect can be taught along with manners at any age. The older the person gets, the rougher it gets to teach them.

I feel guilt for this 12 year old child who has no home and no respect for those who help him. I, however, don't blame him for this. It is his parents fault. They brought him up without respect. And now he has no real home and sleeps where ever his mother and him can.

I took having a home for granted. I am thankful for this and every other luxury I have.
A 12 year old boy with no home, no manners, and no respect taught me this.
Thank you...

The Holidays.

The Holidays.
To me, the holidays are supposed to be about spending time with your loved ones. Especially Easter, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. But how are you supposed to enjow the time with family when everyone is drinking and just being plain rude to you? To this question, I do not know the awsner to. However, I wish i did.
This Easter all anyone is doing is being rude. My mother is drinking(and now drunk) and then my aunt and sister should hook up cause' they would be an absolutly cute, rude couple who could team up against me. I just wish holidays were like they were when i was younger.

Fav. Song 1: Very Inspiring

Tell me what I did
To push you off the cliff
You can try to take my hand
But I’m not coming with you

Say what you like
Just look me in the eye
You can pull out your knife
It’s not as sharp as mine

Oh, Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

I don’t want protection
If it’s with conditions
Took a new direction
Losing all conviction

Say what you like
Just look me in the eye
You can pull out your knife
It’s not as sharp as mine

Oh, Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you're never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

Don’t you play the fool
I know you want revenge
There’s no use pretending
I know what you did

Oh, Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

Sticks and stones
Are never gonna break me
Never gonna hurt me
Never gonna shake me out
I’m a rock at the top
Never breaking
Try what you want
But you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Try, try but you’re never gonna take me
Down, down, down
Give it up
You should know by now

Give it up
You should know by now
Hey
Hey
