Bullying

Suicide, school shootings, severe depression, crying, hurting, there is so many feelings that being bullied can make a person feel. So many thoughts that can lead to actions.
Many people just look at bullying as fooling around, having fun, but what about when the person that is being bullied brings a gun to school, kills himself, kills the person that is bullying them, how do you look at the situation then?
Bullying arouses many different emotions in people. For the bully, bullying could make them feel powerful, stronger, but for the person being bullied, their emotions are a totally different story. They feel hurt, sad, angry. It could make them feel like dying, like giving up, make them think they have no reason to live anymore. For example, if that person is being bullied at school, being pushed around, called names, ect. What if the same thing is going on at their home also? What if their parents abuse them? Having that go on at home and at school, wouldn't you feel like giving up too? Wouldn't tou feel like dying?

Homecoming

I am very excited about homecoming this year. We are going up against Blytheville this year and we're going to win like always. I am ready to see the Batesville Pioneers kick some Chickasaw butts! The game is always very tense and exciting on homecoming night. I am looking forward to the yelling and screaming "Go Pioneers," and watching all the touchdowns that the Pioneers will make.
Spirit week has been a blast this year. I have enjoyed dressing up and also looking at all the funny things people come up with. The decorations are awesome and give me a lot of school spirit.
The homecoming dance will not be goinmg on this year, but I am ok with that. We are having one the week after so it will make up for it. I am excited to go. I love dressing up and dancing.
GO PIONEERS!!!!!!!!!

The Chosen Theme

My theme, Peace Love and Writing, symbolizes my intentions for my blog. While creating my blog last year, I wanted to go for a tranquil kind of feeling, a feeling that would make somebody feel all warm inside. Peace and love can do that.

I have many gadgets on my blog that have to deal with peace and love. Many that can teach you about these two topics or quotes that just make you feel good.

The colors of my blog are very calming and pretty. Pink and red are the colors of love. That is the reason I chose this background for my blog

We are in english class so instead of

happiness I put writing. Peace is

tranquility and a calm state of mind. Love

is beautiful. So My blog is all

about that.
