That these kids can do.  So let’s get a move on.

Okay first is 7th graders. When you first get into the school, you have to pick your classes. There are not going to be a lot of choices until you get to the next grade. But here are  some alternatives you can do for 7th grade. Journalism, creative writing, coding, dance, and yoga are all the ones I can think of at the moment.  And then for your core classes there are Math, Science, English, digital lit, And the cca classes. So see not that much to do in this grade. But once you get into the higher grades there are a lot more that you can do in this school.

For 8th grade you can do so much more. For some alternatives there are Spanish, french, ASL, foods, woods, yoga, and dance. And then you have your core classes in this school. See in this grade it shows you what a difference about the grades. and the classes you can take in this school.

For 9th graders its about the same as 8th grade. but you can do seminary at the church next to the school.

In this school there is a thing called shield and you go to that everyday but Wednesday. Because you get out early on Wednesday but we will go over that in a little bit. But at shield you can go to so many places in the school. There is the library, auditorium, nails, and so much more that you can do. Shield usually lasts about 45 minutes From 10:55 to 11:35 everyday.

On Wednesday you have early out days and instead of you getting out at 2:45 you get out at 1:45. So about an hour difference. This is good because it gives students a little break from the long days of school.

We don’t really have assemblies but when we do it is at the beginning of the year.

The school is 2 stories tall and has a lot of classrooms. All of the staff is very kind.

If you skip class you will have to get lunch detention with Mrs. Barnes. And you will have to be there the entire lunch because you skipped or you have too many tardies. In total you will need to have 5 tardies to have lunch detention from class.

If you go to this school you will have the time of your life. It is so much better than elementary and just have fun and go with it.

Why Would TikTok get Banned?

Why Would TikTok get Banned?

Why would TikTok get banned? TikTok might get banned, as some people say, and I can see why they would say that. Because of the app, people think that the Chinese are going to take the information from people and maybe sell it to people. But some people don’t think that is true.

But the app did get placed as a bill and if it does get passed by the government and the president, then it will get banned, but that is going to take years to do because of how long the bill will take to get to the government. But the app has been made a bill. And the owner has been questioned because that is his app. But if someone doesn’t buy TikTok while it is being processed by the government, then it will get to the president, and he will sign off on it.

But as I said in the beginning, it will take a long time for it to get to the president. TikTok is worth 66 Billion US dollars and the only people who have that type of money are Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. But to be honest, I think that Elon Musk is going to buy, in my opinion, but who knows what it will be in a long time. TikTok has almost 150 million users and I bet it would take a lot for someone to ban it because of how many people use it.

But some people think that TikTok is going to be used to brainwash people for the election. But the main reason why TikTok might get banned is for security reasons and the Chinese Government might take people’s information and use it against them or use it to weaponize the US Government.  But because the app costs so much because of the way it is overpopulated in the US, that is making the app cost so much money. The bill was passed on March 13th, on a Wednesday. 

The creator of TikTok is saying that China will not take people’s information and use it against them. But if TikTok gets banned, then people will go to the next resource, which is Instagram Reels, YouTube shorts and more. But there are a lot of underage people that shouldn’t be on TikTok because of the dangers that it could cause in the future. The app does state in the app store that it is not used by people under the age of 12 years old.

Maybe even to be safe, maybe just like no one under the age of 14. Because people can message people on the app and get creepy. But people are wondering what if they have a parents-controlled account on it ? That’s good for you, but a lot of people don’t and that is a safety hazard because minors have no idea when it comes to social media?

Tiny little kids are on TikTok but have parental control over them. But some do not have any parental controls. This is dangerous, because if that child gets a message from someone saying like “I’ll give you this if you do that”. And that could be anyone. But if you do put some sort of privacy filter on your account, then you can go to the settings on the app and turn off messaging. 

 So, in conclusion, the app might get banned because of all the security and safety reasons on TikTok. So just be aware of the app and the people that are on it. 

 

social media pros and cons

social media pros and cons

Social media is good because it can help you with what you like let’s say crafts and social media can help you with that. but sometimes you have to be careful because there are some weird people on the internet, social media can be full of creepy people so if you are younger than 13+ i would say have a parent, guardian to help you and manage that account and wait till you turn 13+ . but over all social media is good for the body and mind it can help you express what you want to post but sometimes you have to watch what you post because there are guidelines on social media apps like, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook just anything you can post on to make people see your posts.

So if you ever think to post on social media, watch what you do or think is this useful, is this inappropriate, is that negative in any way. if that post is any of those you can either report that person or just scroll past it but if it was your post just watch out for what you post. People are mean on social media, sometimes there is a lot of bullying on social media and that can really affect people’s mental health and hurt them very badly. but if  you ever get bullied on social media tell a parent right away!

but if you don’t want to tell your parents BLOCK them. But as long as you’re not stupid and are responsible you can be good on social media just don’t post stupid stuff. you may be on TikTok, Instagram, for a long period of time. You should put a time limit on that app and not have the urge to go on it .

but those are mostly all of the cons of social media but there are pros to it too. The cons do mean a lot but there are a  lot of pros to it, like let’s say you can use social media to sponsor brands or your own brand even the smallest things can get the most views just dancing even maybe even just showing something  can get a ton of views and help with sponsoring. on TikTok or Instagram and all of that there are ADDS that is just a video of sponsoring what they are showing and selling. and that  something on social media a lot of people have social media and the ad could get a lot of people to see what they are selling or just even making.

That  is one of the pros of social media. Another pro is that people compliment other people by just commenting on their video with a positive outcome that  makes people feel happy and liked and maybe loved. Like what i said in the beginning it can help you express what you do and how you do that thing. a lot of people are very nice and kind.

Social media is a place for exploring things and what you like to do, and you can show people what you like as a  person and a lot of people like the same things as you. That is how you find your people and how you can make new friends but make sure that they are actually what they seem like. but this is how you find your new friends by showing what you like on the internet. Social media can also show you the information that you are looking for so social media is good and bad at bad times.

Sources Of Strength

Sources Of Strength

Sources of strength

Sources of strength is a rainbow chart listing things that are most important in life. It has these 8 things: Mental health, Family support, Positive friends, Mentors,  Healthy activities, Generosity,Spirituality, and Physical health.

These things are a lot of the more important things in life to worry about. In this I will list the meaning in the sources of strength chart. And the definitions of it so people understand what it means. There are 8 in total so read up and get comfy.

MENTAL HEALTH 

Mental health is something  that a lot of teenagers and adults go through. The definition for it is. “a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being.” Mental health is very important because it can affect someone so much, even their normal life. Usually when someone is struggling mentally they will get more quiet. Zoning out or having anxiety attacks.  Or they are not as social as they were before.

Mental health is also with depression. Depression is a constant feeling of sadness and loss of interest with the hobbies you used to like. What causes depression is stress, anxiety and grieving. Let’s say to someone you lost that you’ve known for a long time and they die. You would feel a sign of depression. Because you are very sad that they died. Mental health is very important. In this generation because of  people’s minds and the way they work psychologically. Some sign of anxiety is when your leg shakes a lot or you’re very shaky. Having trouble sleeping, having sense or panic or doom.

FAMILY SUPPORT

Family support is someone who has services to help them. for example with education,food,home etc… And physical and mental services. This is a way to help people in need or they are struggling with something at home. Sometimes people lose their jobs. And they don’t have enough money to support themselves or their family. This helps with many family’s. Some families have people with disabilities. And can’t pay for the stuff that they need to be happy in their house hold.But sometimes they can’t pay for it.

POSITIVE FRIENDS

positive friends are a great thing to have when you are struggling. Sometimes it takes a long time to find a friends that is positive with you. A positive friend doesn’t talk bad about you If you tell them a secret they won’t tell other people about it. When you guys are hanging out they actually make it fun and they don’t do what they want to do. But they make ideas that both of you like.

For example let’s say that they want to go jump on a tramp but either person doesn’t want to do that. So they make you go do what they want to do, that is a Bad friend. But when they go jump on the tramp and then put what they want to do on hold so they can do what they want to do. and then you can do what they want to do without fighting. That is a good friend because they do what you want to do first because they are a Positive friend

They also can help you with whatever you are going through. Because they are good friend and you trust them a lot. You have to make sure that you find the right friends because some people look nice but are terrible on the inside. sometimes when you become friends with someone and they are nice at first. The more you get to know them and be around them and they talk bad about people,lying etc. That is not a good friend at all. You have to find the right way to try and find a best friend to be social.

MENTORS

A mentor is a person that can give you guidance and advice. They can also be new friends. traditional one-on-one mentoring. A men-tee and mentor are matched either through a program or on their own. Distancing mentoring. A mentoring relationship in which the two parties are in different locations.

Group mentoring is A single mentor who is matched with a cohort of men-tees. The power of being a mentor can help clarify what you need to do to meet expectations. How you need to prepare for evolution poses such as annual reviews. Tenure and promotion help you build skills. So a mentor helps a person have self confidence and give them advice for life.

HEALTHY ACTIVITIES

Healthy activities can involve you going outside and taking a walk or a run. It could be you going outside for even 5 minutes sitting there is good for you. Eating well is a good healthy activity. It can give you so many nutrients. A good activity is getting more sleep when you have a very bad sleep schedule. Getting more sleep can help a lot with the mood of the day.

If you do the smallest things can help you. It could do some yard work like mowing the lawn or pulling weeds is a good activity. dancing,swimming,biking,climbing stairs or hills, And playing tennis or basketball. Those are all healthy activities. So all of these activities can help you have healthy activities

GENEROSITY

This can be a person seeing the good in you or helping you with something you need. For example, When you are forgiving and gentle to people. you or someone else showing their generosity to you or someone else. If you give others help or credit, That shows generosity. The world would be a better place if more people showed generosity to others. This is not a long topic because a lot of people know about generosity and what it is.

SPIRITUALITY

Spirituality means. Knowing that lives have significance in a context beyond a mundane everyday existence. at the level of biological needs that drive selfishness and aggression. It also means if people believe in let’s say an outside force may be a higher power. But people can see spirituality as going outside and meditation around their surroundings. I don’t know a whole lot about this topic so this also isn’t as long.

PHYSICAL HEALTH

What this means is that what you do for your physical needs like walking, running and skipping. This could involve working out or going to take a pet out to go outside, maybe a sport with physical activity. Those are all good physical things you could do. in a state of well-being when all internal and external body parts. Organs, tissues and cells can work properly as they are supposed to work. That is the meaning of physical health 

 

The 8 wives of Henry the VIII

Henry was born on June 28th 1491 in Greenwich near London. He grew up in Greenwich palace. He had 6 siblings: Margaret Tudor, Mary Tudor, Arthur, Tudor Katherine Tutor, Edmund Tudor Duke of Somerset, and Elizabeth Tutor. His father was Henry the VIII and his mother Elizabeth of York. His blood line goes on for a long time. And has a very harsh backstory. Henry had 8 wives and they all died but the last one.

Catherine of Aragon The first wife. Henry married her because of her familiarity. Henry was 10 years old when Katherine first  arrived in England. To marry his older brother and had her before he did for a young example desirable bride. Katherine was born on  December 16th 1485. And grew up in Alpaca de Henares, near Madrid and she died of heart cancer. She gave birth to 6 children but the only  one that survived is Mary 1 . 

Anne Boleyn was the second wife. Henry wanted to marry her because he believed his lack of heir was punishment from god. For marrying his brother’s wife. He  met Anne Boleyn when he was 25 years old. Anne Boleyn was born somewhat in 1501-1507 but there is no record of her birthday. Anne Boleyn died of beheading on May 19th 1536 aged 29-35. After she died Henry erased all traces of her. Anne gave birth to a daughter Elizabeth 1 in September 1533. There’s so much more unknown information about her. But we don’t know yet because Henry erased all pictures of her.

Jane Seymour was the third wife. Henry wanted to marry her to have a son for the line of kings and to teach him how to be a real man. Although she did give him a son she did die of postpartum period. And that affected Henry a little but not too much though. Her birthday i not recorded but she was born around 1504-1509

Anne of Cleves was the fourth wife. Henry married her because he believed that he needed to form a political alliance. William Duke of Cleves. Anne did not have any children. Anne never remarried when she got divorced with henry. He did not do anything to her but she did die of cancer. Anne was born on September 22 1515 and she died July 16th 1557.

Catherine Howard is the 4th wife of Henry. This is the first time he fell in love with someone and he married her because he fell in love at first sight. Catherine would not have any children with him because he was with an illness and she didn’t want to get sick. And she didn’t want the baby to be sick in any way possible or get anything from him. She was born in 1524 but there is no record of her actual birth date. She died on February 13th 1542. She died of beheading when the ax fell.

Henry’s last wife before he died was Catherine Parr. He married her because he needed a more sensible choice for an ailing king in need of a nurse as much for a wife. She was 52 years old when she married him. She stayed with him until he died . She was one of the survivors out of the 2 because he killed the rest of his wives. But Anne of Cleves died of cancer. So it wasn’t his fault that she died. Catherine was born in 1512. And died on January 7th 1536.

Henry most likely died from a combination of inflammation, chronic pyogenic suppuration, Edema. And finally chronic osteomyelitis. He died on January 28th 1547. He did a bunch of horrible things to these women and he didn’t have the right to do it all to them.

So in conclusion Henry the 8th is one of the worst men to ever live because of the stuff he has done. And the reason he did it was to get a son. I am writing about this because it is very interesting. If you’re like me and you like the old history like this then you will like this. I like reading it and figuring out what happened way back in the day. When there were still beheadings and so much more accent stuff.
