Bullying!
Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate, or aggressively dominate others. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception, by the bully or by others, of an imbalance of social or physical power, which distinguishes bullying from conflict. Behaviours used to assert such domination can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion, and such acts may be directed repeatedly towards particular targets.

Stay In School, Kids!
This is a story I don't really like to share, but it's one I've wanted to share publicly for a while. I figure I'll never be a public speaker, so sharing my written story is my best shot at getting my story out there. First, let me just say that I am an intelligent individual. Not every person who chooses to drop out of school lacks intelligence. To be perfectly honest, I've come across people whom I had to wonder how they even graduated. Different people drop out of school for different reasons. Several of those people didn't care about school. They didn't care about getting an education. They didn't want to learn. That person was never me.

2018
Wow thinking about the day I graduate will meet it terms. I was sitting in math one day, looking out the window thinking, "This is my last year in Highschool!". I'm still struggling on what I've overcame so far, and still applying for colleges. I intended to try to piece up everything be for the BIG DAY. Wow, I haven't introduced myself, I'm Davona, the girl with the big puffy hair that seemed to be in peoples way during a class lecture, the one that gets looked at in when it comes to talking about who can say the N word, oh and also 17. The school I'm attending is a charter school in Utah, the "Morman State". I can say it's pretty easy to get around, just like the gossip, opps. The classes are great, I really do appreciate my teachers, there awesome. The groups of kids at my school can be somewhat interesting, some I just can't stand.

The Key to Confidence Lies in Words
The blanket of snow that covered Alaska’s towns gave off an isolating affect to its inhabitants. As a result, I grew up being extremely shy for a child and always felt anxious when holding conversations. This formed the perfect disaster for education during my elementary years. My distaste with education, however, has always been simmered by my love for writing and reading.

Studies Beyond Borders
If you are anything like me, you are seeking new places to go and new knowledge to get. Eventually, I found myself ready to move to another country to study. More than million miles away from home, new climate, new culture, new rules, new everything. I am sure, that you have done your very detailed research before moving to a new country. Here is what you might have missed.

No Child Left Behind
Looking at the budget of the 2017 School Year, I came across something interesting. Did you know that 2017's budget is $69.4 billion dollars in discresionary funding, and $139.7 billion in mandatory funding for the US Department of Education. That is up $1.3 billion over last year, and a total of $209.1 billion. Does this make sense to you? Where does all the money go for this budget?

The Nobody Who Became a Writer
My school experience as a child was the pits and not from peaches. My ‘wealthy’ cousins began the tumultuous experience, and the drunk, insensitive, and completely obscene ‘teacher’ perpetuated it, and other classmates cheered them on; I tried to ignore the ride and just kept going like a darn Duracell battery that everyone thought would never burn out, and it didn’t.

Balancing Work and School
Balancing work and going to school full time can be super stressful. Let me tell you, being a full-time server/cashier, and then taking four courses online can put a ton of weight on your shoulders. I envy some of my friends who qualify for financial aid, and don't have any bills to pay, basically excluding them from having a reason to work.

Kids Grow Up So Fast
I don't quite yet know what I hope people gain from what I'm about to write. Is this advice to kids? To their parents? Maybe just a simple recap of the experiences I had when I was younger that can help both children AND their parents? We will see.
