                               Should They Legalize Marijuana Bell Ringer
            I think that America should legalize Marijuana. I feel like if we sell and smoke cigarettes to people (And Cigarettes Are the Leading Cause in Cases of Cancer) we should also be able to sell and smoke marijuana. Look at how cigarettes destroy their bodies with cigarettes but yet our government has not banned them, all because of people's right. I feel like if a person wants to destroy their lives with marijuana let them do so it's the people's choice right? The only reason marijuana isn't legalized is because the government can't make money off of It let alone get taxes from It. I'm not saying that marijuana is good but then again cigarettes aren't either.

Yesterday was the best date in my eight month relationship. He had thrown a party for his father at Pearl's Place. We had the most fun together. I felt as if I was first lady to the dream husband. He was the gentleman I always knew he could be. After that last night I know I can stay with that young man. Yea, he has flaws. Things that I cant stand about him, but he cares and that's something he doesn't show to people often. Then we had our first slow dance with his parents. We took pictures and lit trick candles together. Everything wasn't perfect, but with his flaws and all he is the ideal boyfriend and that was my ideal date.

I like the book because when he went to jail his friend ran off with his money and weed. The part i like when the light bulb fell in his ass hole. When he had to wait for two years to talk to a judge again.
When I opened up the package what i found inside of it amazed me.
It was nothing but crisp hundred dollar bills,at first i wondered what could I spend it on
then before I knew it i had a bran dnew car ,golgd chains, earings,watches,and owned a block full of buisnesses.Not to mention my 30 million dollar crib.

Growing up in Chicago (Bell Ringer)

Growing up as child in Chicago is an interesting adventure. You will go through good and bad times. You will also have to make a lot of tough decisions that will effect your future. I say that because I live in a bad neighborhood where a person wouldn't take no time to take your life from you. The interesting thing is how we have a lot of interesting activities that we can get into. We have skatin rinks, bowling, sport, jobs, driving, amusement parks, and much more. These are the kind of things that keep you out of trouble. There is much more to this adventure but I am tired of writing so thanks for listening.

My first impression of the book was that it was going to be boring. I wasnt going to finish reading it at first. actually the book is okay I can and will finish it. so far he's living a normal butlike most guys he does something stupid with drugs when he knows he shouldnt. I understand he needs money but thats where people mess up at. I hope we read more interesting books because I like to read.

when i was at dyett i was the man. i had all of the girls on my joc. i got in trouble alot. most of the teachers didn't like me but i didn't care. i tried to stay on track. i had to many things distracting me. all of my guys were at dyett with me. i think i needed a change because i am a senior and i am trying to graduate. i aint got time to play around. now that i am at harper by myself i think i can focus a little better. and i need to leave these girls alone to because the are goin to be the cause of my failure. i aint gone let that happen though. i heard about it happen to other guys. it won't happen to me though.

-Relationships-
 
Relationships among teens vary in so many ways. Many teens, mostly girls, feel that they will find the man of the their dreams. I honestly do understand that females can be very emotional and dramatic concerning their feelings and all, but some girls look for true love in the form of a teenage boys. I myself require a lot in a woman, but I'm not searching for love amongst teenage females. Simply  because females at my age aren't exactly emotionally matured to my liking. I truly believe in letting my girlfriend know where she stands. Although you are in high school learning life lessons, this is still high school and relationships are something to do

Growing up as a teen in chicago is very rough. Living in the Englewood area can be tough to many teenagers. There are so many things you can be peer pressured into doing. As soon as teens enter highschool they are on a roller coaster right away. Many families dont feel safe having there childern play outside because of all the gang violence. Being a teen in chicago is basically whether you have to protect yourself and avoid peer pressure. When I say protect your life is when teens are asked to join gangs, so they can feel that they are protected when they are ever in trouble..In conclusion growing up as teen is difficult, but if you live here you have to make the best of it and make smart choices.

Last saturday our basketball team had a game at Englewood high school. It was the first annual shootout there. It was a lot of teams playing there. We played against Dyett High school. We lost by three points. We played good throughout the whole game. It came down to the last shot of the game. We gave the ball to Leslie for the three he missed the shot. I think we played a very good game. we should have won the game.

What is it like growing up as a teen in Chicago?


I believe growing up as a teen in Chicago is pretty interesting and exciting at the same time. I enjoy it here. It's a nice city full of stores, parks, museums, and famous main attractions. The majority of my family lives here so I feel I'm at home. It's a place where teens could have more opportunities and dreams. It's challenging at times as well. It has had a huge impact on my life. I came from a small town in Arkansas to one of the biggest cities in the U.S. It was an interesting new experience for me prior to a lot of differences. I found myself having to adapt to a new and bigger environment which is good. I feel that I've gotten the best of both worlds. So now I feel inspired to grow up in the beautiful city of Chicago.

What do you think the future is going to be like for blacks in america in the next 10 years? No matter about 10 years from now the crime rate will still be sky high and alot of people going to die do to the state trying to move all the blacks into the suburbs so they would try and rebuild whats left of the city for thats why morgages going up and prices on new houses are already up. I also believe the rate of kids getting pregnant at a young age going to hit a all time high.

In rough time
Fake thugs doing crime
Every day doing drive-bys

Innocent kids losing their lives
Never stopping for whats their's

Teenage kids killing without care
Hate for others to survive
Every day hurting mothers

Hateful crimes toward others
Old men all doped up
Other kids getting choked up
Dead before they're eighteen all because of a drug scheme.

MY CONFESSION

My Dear,
I have a confession,
since the moment i met you,
you've been a sought-after possession.
All this time i've been competing,
with everyone,
i've even stoped to cheat.
for a brief moment with you.
I've been waiting for you to return,
waiting for the moment,
when i felt i've earned
the right to have you here,
the right to have you near.
Lately i've been feeling some depression,
i'm sure that's been my impression.
That's all you've been able to see.
But I know that this regression,
it can turn around, with you
into progression.
We can be what we were,
and more i promise,
into a blur,
we can only go up
and we can drink together,
from the sweet cup
of life.

Roses Are Red

I love my parents
And so should you
They love me dearly and
Care for me whole heartily
Their always there
When my body need repair
Even when I just need a friend
I can always call my parents to give
Me a hand
They’re like no other
No one can be the same
That’s why it’s an honor to wear their last name
It help relieves the pain
I love my parents so much
It helps more to know I have their trust
Their love I will never lust

If I was stranded on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean for ten years their are a couple of things that I would bring. One of the things is a bible, I fill that in ten years I could read the whole bible a couple of times. I would bring a HD TV, a dvd, and a movie. The movie that I would bring is Friday, because I could watch that movie everyday. The cd that I would bring is Get Rich Or Die Trying, because it's my favorite cd and I could play it though and listen to every track. The ffood that I would bring is pizza, because it's my favorite food. The drink that I would bring is some flavor water, because you need water to survive, and because it taste good. The piece of clothing that I would wear is some short and a tank top. And another Item that I would bring is a computer. Because it will also keep me occupied, and I could talk to my family through email.
With my christmas vacation i plan on enjoying my time with my family and giving gifts to everyone that I love, staying at home until the weather is nice enough to go outside again, just simply enjoy my 2 week vacation!

I believe that there is love at first sight but most people don't belive in it but it could happen because it happened to me.You can also look at a person and instantly fall in love with them knowing that they are ment to be together it really is a good felling to fall in love with that one that you really feel is whats up and as long as they don't try to hurt you they should be a keeper. And if they show you the up most respect you definely need to keep them and you might have a long term relationship. DOMONIQUE FISHER.
Brains or Beauty




Well if there was a situation where i had to chose between Beauty or
Brains i would chose Brains. Brains can get you everything, and beauty can only
get you attention. And since i already got beauty i can go for the brains. Brains can
get you anything.

Love at first sight
I believe that everything happens for a reason, but falling in love at first sight is not one of them. It has never happened to me but it has happened to others. I can look at someone and say that I like them alot but I cannot say I love them. Love at first sight can happen but not to most. I do believe that it can happen to others but notto me. I have had a person tell me that they fell in love with me at first sight but I didn't believe it. I personally think that falling in love at first sight is just film.

If I was stranded on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean for ten years. My favorite book is Arthur. The reason why I like Arthur because he is a smart aardvark. My favorite movie is the Simpsons, I like the Simpsons because Homer makes me laugh when he does silly things. For example, he fall down the stairs. My favorite C.D. is the hip hop artist. this C.D. had a mixture of different artist. I have two favorite songs, One of my favorite song is "Candy Shop"; performed by 50 Cent.

This weekend was a wild weekend first i was at school Friday then got high with certain people in the school but I'm not going to say any names. Then one of my girls called me and said she had the crib to herself and I went right overthere and did somethings and left. Then I went on the block and got real drunk and we was out fighting everybody because we was gone out of our minds. Saturday I went to the girls basketball games and they both won then later on that night i got locked up for some supid stuff, got out Sunday real late in the day and now I'm here at school Monday.

To me there are alot more things important to me than money, like my families life and my life. I say that because money is money if I get a call and they say you just won $1 million come outside and then right after i hung up i got another call that said something bad jsut happened to my mother I would say to hell with the $1 million I wouldn't care if it was a once in a lifetime type deal I would have to go check on my mom first to see if she was okay, then comes the money. The other thing that is more important to me is my life because if I were to win $1 million today and died tomorrow how will I be able to spend all of my money and enjoy every last bit of it. I wouldn't be able to do none of that stuff. WHY? Because I am six feet under in somebody's cemetary. These are the reasons why money is not everything to me.

Growing up as a teen in chicago is very difficult. It is difficult, because you have to go threw things like peer pressure on sex for females, drug abuse and gang violence. Its hard trying to be yourself, because you have friends that want you, to do the things they do. For most teens they have been pressured into gangs, and for female teens they have been pressures into sex.Teens always try to be like rapstars which leads into gangs, and pregnant females teens. Female teens have it harder than male teens, beacuse males pressure them into sex. Males have it hard to, beacuse they have friends that want them to join gangs, and not go to school. I believe the reason why most tens doesnt go to school is, because they have friends that want them t hang out on the street corner with them. Most teens that are in jail is, because their friends that wanted them to do something that didnt want to do like robbery. Its a lot of things that you have to go threw growing up as a teen.

What life is like growing up as a teen in Chicago? You have to watch every move you make and do not take life for granted because you do not know it might be your last day on earth. Chicago is a very ruff place to be growing up in. You have kids getting killed almost each and everyday and not only those grown people too. A lot of people have been getting raped. Therefore, its important not to walk the streets along, its better if you walk with someone at all times. Everyday when watching the news a lot of new and bad things happen everyday. You never hear anything good on the news. This is how life is growing up as a teen in Chicago.
