“ Runaway Child”

She tore thought the alley, ducked into a doorway, and tried to squeeze into nothingness. She has been running from the police for a week now, and still she cant get rid of them. Kendra tries to stay at some friends house because she ran away from home because she was tired of her mother not caring about her. Her mother was a very beautiful women with long pretty and curly hair, straight white teeth, and light brown eyes. Every man wanted her, she was what we would call “thick”, in this day and age. Her name was Kimberly but everyone called her Kim. Her daughter was the exact opposite. She was short, had short and thin hair, and her teeth were very crooked. She was very skinny and had no shape. Her mother was so ashamed of her so she kept her in the house all the time. The only thing she was allowed to do was go to school, on the days her brother and sister weren’t sick, and come back home and cook and clean.

“Kendra get yo ugly ass out the bed so you can go to the store and get my kids some ice-cream!!!” her mother screamed

“ Ma its 3 in the morning and I have to go to school in about 4 hours”

“You aint going to school today because you aint cleaned up my house in 2 days or did you forget.”

That morning Kendra got up and got the money from her mother and went to the store. On the way there she saw a former friend of hers, her friend was now 20 years of age.
“ Hey girl what you doing out here this late.”

“Girl you the 1 that shouldn’t be out here this late how old are you about 15 or something.”

A letter to that man

She hesitated at the post box, not knowing if she really wanted to send her letter. Then she thought about it a little more, and said “Well, it’s for his own good.” See about a year ago Ce-Ce’s father Buford got out of jail and was acting like he controlled her. But Ce-Ce wasn’t going for that, she was 17 years old and hadn’t seen her father in about 8 years.
When Ce-Ce was nine her father went to jail for picking up his friends Don and Steve, after they robbed a house on 47th and King Drive. He really didn’t know of any of these things until he got pulled over by the police. They took him to jai, and because he had a rap sheet as long as an invitation list to a party, they gave him eight years. Now this man doesn’t know anything about her and her life because of his time in jail. She never wrote him or went to see him, she just didn’t care anymore.
“ Man ma you know your baby daddy Buford get out of tomorrow, and my grandma want me to go with her to get him. I guess she going to be going by herself because I don’t even know that man.” Said Ce-Ce
“Well, you don’t have to go I’ll talk to her if you want me to.” Said Brenda Ce-Ce’s mom.
“Okay mom would you please because I really don’t want to go.” Is what she said as she leaves out to go to school.
Ever since Ce-Ce was a kid she loved her father and no body could tell her nothing wrong. She still loved her father very much but she couldn’t understand why he hadn’t made an effort to talk to her. Now Buford has been at home for two years and over these years he has denied Ce-Ce as ever being his daughter four times, he has also whopped her, cursed her out, and called her out of her name a couple of times. He never want to spend time with her unless he has some money, so when he broke he don’t even answer. At this point Ce-Ce has not given up on him, but she wants to tell him how she really feels, so she writes a letter telling him what on her mind.


Dear daddy,

I has come to my attention that you never answer the phone for me when I call. You never come get me and take me places like you do those little kids that are your friends kids that call you uncle B. I’m really getting to there point of hating you because you ignore me. My mom always struggles to take care of me and my sisters but luckily grandma helps out when she ever she can. I know you sell drugs so you got to have money. I really hate when we go to family events and you come around like every thing is good. It seems like everyone knows this but you, even your own sister don’t talk to you because the way you do me. I really hope that you take this and make it better.

Love Always,
Ce-Ce Harris

Mark Damien High School

As, the bell rang for 7th period to end, Monica Jones a 11th grader at Mark Damien High School, got her books into her book bag to go to her locker. As she was walking she saw her best friend Brianna Jackson. “Hey girl I aint seen you in about a whole month, where u been at.” said Monica. “Girl I been sick lately and I don’t know what’s going on with Me.” was Brianna’s response. “Well I hope feel better have you been to the doctor since you haven’t been at school.” Ask Monica. “No because I’m afraid that my mom will find out about what’s been happening with Joe.” Now, Joe was Brianna’s stepfather and he has been making passes at her since she was a little kid, and 4 years ago when she turned 13 he raped her and before Brianna could tell Monica about her mother’s actions she had a flash back to that night.
“Happy Birthday baby girl” said Joe “Thank You Joe did you get me a gift.” “I actually got you 2 gifts one you can get now and the other one you have 2 wait until your mom goes to work tonight.” “Ok so where is my gift for now” Joe reaches behind the couch and gives her a box and he tells her open it. “How did you know I wanted a new leather jacket with my name on it?” She asks him and he laughs saying “that’s what you asked for on your Christmas list last week do you not remember.” “Aw yeah I almost forgot I didn’t get that I was going to ask mom about that but thank you so much.” She walks up to him and gives him a hug and he grabs her butt and she asks “why would you do that Joe.” And he says I m so sorry baby I forgot I thought you were your mom because you have on her perfume.” “Ok that’s fine but please don’t do it again.” She said kind of confused.
“Okay honey I’m on my way to work goodnight and I love you.” Is the last thing Alex said to Brianna that night. “Okay mom I’ll see you later luv ya.” “Are you ready for you next gift that I told you about earlier?” Joe asked her “Yeah where is it.” She asked “go upstairs and get in the shower and I’ll be up there in a little while.” “Ok Joe I’ll be out in 15minutes.” As she runs up the stairs Joe follows behind her and goes into the room he shares with Alex and turn on the T.V. and he watches videos until he hears the shower water turn off. While she is getting ready to get out of the shower he steps in and uses the bathroom right in front of her. “Joe what are you doing “she asks him. “ I had to use the bathroom and I couldn’t wait I had to go so bad.” He tells her. “Ok but I don’t have any clothes on and you are using the bathroom while im in here are you suppose to be doing that since im not your girlfriend.” “It is ok because I’m your daddy now.” “I’m just going to ask mom when she gets home.” “Don’t ask her that because if you do than she is going to be mad because you didn’t believe me.” “Ok than I won’t ask.” Then Brianna gets her things and goes into her room she is still naked and is changing her sheet on her bed because her mom was doing laundry in the morning, when Joe walks in and now he doesn’t have on any clothes. “What are you doing in here with no clothes on.” “I came to help you and to make you fell comfortable I just took off my clothes since you didn’t put on your clothes yet but if you want me to leave then I will.” “Yes can you please leave because I don’t feel comfortable with you in here.” Joe makes it seem like he’s backing away to leave when all of a sudden he turns off the lights and grab Brianna and put her in the bed, as she is screaming he tells her to shut up and he begins to rape her. When he is done he asks her “Did you enjoy your birthday present.” And then he gets up and leaves with her laying there crying in her blood.
When she comes back to reality Monica says “Well the bell is about to ring for 8th period meet me by my car it’s in parking lot C.” “Okay I will but I don’t want to go home anytime soon, would you ask Carla to let me stay with yal for a little while. But could you please not tell her what’s going on yet because I don’t want her to call my mother.” “Ok girl you know my momma won’t mind at all if you stay over.” Monica says as she runs to class. As Monica sat through her 8th period class she couldn’t help but worry if her friend was pregnant by that rapist Joe. “Hey girl what took you so long to get here? I know you didn’t get lost.” said Monica “I’m so sick I don’t know what’s going on I was in the bathroom throwing up since I left you in the hallway.” “Damn are you ok now? Can I take you to the Hospital or something?” Monica asked shocked at what her friend just told her. “I don’t want to but I need to know what’s going on so yeah but don’t tell anyone what’s going on please.” “But what should I tell my mom when she asks where I am?” “Just tell her that we are going to the doctor for a sport’s physical or something.” “Ok that will work let’s go.”
“Brianna Jackson “said Doctor Smith as he came out of the back room. “That’s me” Brianna says as she puts her magazine down and gets up. “Do you want me to come in there with you?” Monica asks Brianna. “Yeah let’s go.” Excuse me Ms. Jackson. said the doctor. “I’m sorry here we come.” she says.
“Ok Ms. Jackson what’s going on here.” asked the doctor. “Well I haven’t been feeling well for the past 3 weeks and I was afaid to come but my friend insisted that I come.

The Blindside Movie Review

Man The Blindside was a great movie!!! I really like how the whole story was true. In case you haven’t seen the movie, it’s a drama about a white woman who adopts an African-American boy who was taken away from his drug addicted mother at a very young age. The woman who Mrs. Touhy ( the women who adopted him) was Sandra Bullock. Mrs. Touhy is a women known for her help in the community, so when she told her friends about Michael Oher they thought that she should be scared because he is a big black boy and her daughter was a freshman in high school. Oher works hard and, with the help of his coaches and the Touhys, he became an all American playing as offensive left tackle.

Have you ever thought of School as Unfair?

Have you ever thought of school as unfair? Well sometimes school can be unfair, you know those days when you got so many things due on the same day, or maybe you got a test in every class period. Have you ever worked so hard on a paper or something but wasn’t able to type it because you don’t have a computer or may be your computer doesn’t work and you can’t turn it in, then on top of doing it all you don’t even get credit for your hard work. I think I have a solution and it has really worked out for me, all you have to do is tell your teachers in advance about other test you have to take on that day and they will help even if they have to make the test on the next day just to fit it for your personal needs

Killing In The World

Diamond: So what are you feelings about teenagers getting killed for unacceptable reason?
TaLana: I feel that it’s wrong but I don’t have like a real reaction to it because nothing ever happen to me or anyone in my family like that
Diamond: do you have any children that are teenagers or will soon be teenagers?
TaLana: Yes. I do have a 11 year old daughter that I keep a close eye on because of what’s going on in the world. Its not that I don’t trust her, it’s just that it’s so much going on in the world that even the good kids are getting killed.
Diamond: so I take it that you have heard what happened to that boy Derrion Albert?
TaLana: Yes I have heard what happen and I really think those people that did that should never see the outside world again because I never thought that the good kids were targeted.
Diamond: Why do you think he was targeted?
TaLana: I think he was targeted because those boys were less fortuned and they were jealous of him.
Diamond: Was the violence as bad when you were 16?
TaLana: Not that I know of but I highly doubt it
