It was like we built every day a joint. We spent a lot of money on weed. But it was great. I do love it very much when I'm high and also listen to some relaxing music. 

Sometimes I stored about 13 grams in my room in a glass container. I had also a bong in my room and my mother thought it was a vase. We were regular customers at our nearest Headshop. I don´t wanna know how much money we spend on weed, papers, and tips. This Time was insane.

However good that sounded, hands-off drugs. 
This was my Blog for today.

Bye !

Yet. That word echoed every year when my parents hugged me on their birthday and said, "Lucky you, we've got you YET." But I was an accident. At that time I could have asked my parents, I could not care less. But I did not ask, and I did not care.

I found the timing of my birth strange. My sister and brother were three years apart. Then nothing came for twelve years. Then me. My mother was 44 at the time. When I gathered my courage and told my parents that I had come a bit out of nowhere, they laughed a little too loudly and said that it had been "quite so" with me. That ended the conversation.

First of all, I do not talk as somebody who is affected. I am talking about this topic without being a professional, it is just my personal opinion and I am only trying to help.

I feel like our generation is very affected by society. Mental illnesses are getting more and more common. But where does this come from? What are the young people influenced by? I can assure you that school has a lot to do with it.

School is getting less of a place to learn but more of a place to judge and be judged. Teenagers feel pressured. They feel like having to fit in different roles. They need to be well-behaved children, ambitious students, trustworthy friends, talented human beings and never fail because you will disappoint your parents, your teachers, you will let down your friends and probably yourself. It is definitely hard to manage all of this. And to be socially accepted by society and other teenagers doesn't make it easier either.

We are taught to do everything properly and if we don't, we get punished.

You can't be different, you have to fit inside of society's ideal image of a teenager. Neither can you be like everyone else, because you will be called "mainstream" and "not remarkable"...

To be shy is being weird but to be confident is being arrogant. To be quiet is being invisible and to be loud is being annoying. To speak out is being cheeky and to keep your thoughts on your own is having no opinion. But you still must have your own personality, because how would you define yourself otherwise, right? And you can't get through your schooldays without any friends, so just act like you are somebody that you're actually not. Put on a mask and find friends to hang out with!

Not only are you already in a naturally difficult position between being a kid and being an adult, but you also literally feel like having to tick a checklist of traits, so you can even be considered beautiful by others.

This is sad. And it is not reality, it is not normal. Of course teenagers will come home feeling leached out and sad but no time for showing negative emotions because at home too, you have to always have that happy look on your face. Inside, you just feel empty though...

...And to be honest, this is a REAL PROBLEM. We can't just ignore it and act like we're all fine. I know how hard it is to talk about your emotions because you may feel alone, like you're the only one feeling this way but I can tell you: You are NOT alone!

Find someone you trust like friends or parents, siblings or even a teacher at your school and tell them about what's going on inside of your head. It will make you feel better just by simply talking about your true feelings. Trust me on that one. Please.

For us as minors it is mabye not really clear but relationships are a big deal in our society. We have to talk about the consequences of a relationship too, because everybody has to take responsibilty for every decision that was made. Nowadays, close relationships are more important than ever. We live in the modern age and in comparably small families. But why does that matter regarding abortion? The thing is that it is on our everyday agenda to marry and to break up. From my point of view the value of a marriage sinks more and more.

But to get to today's topic: Abortion. I'm worried that I fall in love today just to break up tomorrow and that the decision about whether having a child or not won't be taken as serious and important as it should. We can't reverse having a baby just like that. It is not simple and painless. But I have to say that obviously not every abortion is coming from a place of arrogance and dumbness. If you're young and in a situation like this you have to think about the ponential parents' living standard (financial situation, etc.) to decide if you can offer the child an acceptable life. This is a very important question because everybody has the right to have children.

I also have to point to something very positive: Abortions caused by social problems (discrimination of e.g. unmarried women) are no longer accepted by society. Finally, I want to tell you about my opinion on the legality of abortions. The only reasons for me to be in favour with abortions are either having health problems, not being able to keep your child basically safe (home, food etc.) or getting pregnant caused by rape.

Here is another presentation of one of the world’s famous swimmers. His name is Paul Andrew. I think everybody knows him but here is his sport career in a short summary.

He lives and train in America in Baltimore, Maryland. His first Olympic Games were in 1968 when he was only 17 years old.At these game he won a silver Medal in 50m freestyle. Pauls beststroke is freestyle. He swam at the nationals 50m, 100m and 200m freestyle and also 4x100m, 4x200m freestyle and 4x100 medley. At the Olympic Games 1972 he swam all of these races. That is very special and only some swimmers could do that. And he won in every race the gold medal! And as if that wasn't enough, he also swam five world records. The time after that he trained very hard but then at the Olympic games 1976 he only won four gold medals. This was very hard for him and the time after was hard. We are very excited what he will reach at the next Olympics in three month. I hope he will be great.

You may have read my Blog about Paul Andrew and his sport’s career. Well I just found he druged himself before a swimming race to be even faster. It all started in 1980. For that race he unrightfully won five gold medals and one silver medal. The drug he used is called cocaine it is a verry strong drug that is addictive right after the first time. This drug releases stress hormones releasing high blood pressure, higher muscle activity which can go into shivering, lower need to sleep and to eat. After the drug ways off you may feel depressed and emaciated explaining his behavior a week after in an inertview where he got quiet agressive when the woman asked him how he reached such a good score. He probably started using cocain before the race as he served good scorse at the excersise.

If today somebody would come to our little village, he would say that we live really old-fashioned. We got not much electronic devices and live a good dedicated life. We do have some electric devices in our I want to live like in old times. We live in poorness and have a lot of children to feed. My daughter Rachel has got pregnant and we don't know how the father is. Rachel trise to run away and I gave her the kies for our car. I prayed that she comes back realy soun. this is where my blog biggins.

A few months ago I already told you about the doping scandal from Paul Andrews. A week later there has been a leek from the survilance footage of the dressing room a week before the swimming race; it shows Paul taking the drug. Now more people than before are shocked and outarged because now there is proof and even the most loyal fans are shocked and have turned against him. It has also been a shook for Mr. Andrews himself because he thaught he was safe and could do whatever he wanted in the dressing room, but he couldn't. In result he is now verry disapproving of technology and has now also joined a christian cult so god would forgive his 'sins' and he would get of cocain. I personally wish him that he get ofthe drugs but I also think he is kinda crazy.

Hello guys it's me Johnny and I'm back with another blog. This time it's not about skateboarding. Today I tell you something about my vegetarian lifestyle. I hope you enjoy it.

I started this lifestyle one year ago...and it changed my life.Before I started to change my lifestyle as a vegetarian, I was another person. I didn't care about food and ate whatever I want. I didn't know a lot about animals and how humans treat  them. Food wasn't something important. I ate fast food everyday, because it  was cheaper than the others. But then, all changed. This one day, I came back from the college and I was hungry. I wanted to cook something, but I didn't found something with meat. So I had to cook something without meat and I really liked it.

I cookeda potato-vegetable casserole. To cook the casserole, I used a large ovenproof dish. Firstly, I cut the potatoes. After that I cut the vegetables. At this moment, I realized eating healthy is very easy.

This meal was very tasty. And that’s why I decided to be a vegetarian. But there are lots of other aspects like the animal abuse (you can read about this tomorrow). Since that moment I felt much better and that’s why recommend you to try to be a vegetarian:

 

Tell me wether you like it or not. Please leave a comment and tell me about your suggested improvements

I hope you continue reading my blog and we will see tomorrow when our topic is called: animal abuse. 

Thank you for reading and enjoy your meal,

your Johnny!

Hey guys, welcome back on my blog! Today I want to write about my fight against animal abuse. I know that's a topic I never write about but I thought it could maybe inspire other people and that's important to me.It all started close to the time when I decided to be a vegetarian. I didn't care about animals. One day I met a friend in the city. We went to a mall, on our way we saw a really big crowd. First we didn't really unterstand what was going on there. But I was really interested, so we went closer to look and listen. There were  people with posters or letterings on their heads. "Stop torturing animals for clothes" I was so impressed. I never realized how humans treat animals. I thought about this protest the whole day. It couldn't get off my mind. I wanted to know more about it so I watched a few videos about animal abuse, and those really shocked me. I decided to join a protest, and I felt so good. Just like I could change something. If you also love animals come and help us, every tuesday afternoon. Tomorrow I will post a new blog about my experiences with drugs.

Thank you for reading, 
your Johnny!

Do you think one can get hooked on drugs just by the first time?

I can clearly remember the first time I did drugs. I was eleven and after school I hung out with the skaters of Cranston Park. I thought they were the coolest guys ever. 

Them being a couple of years older than me I was proud to be allowed to be with them though they often mocked me for the strict rules my mom insisted on. 

So when they dared me to smoke weed I readily consented hoping to get accepted as a full member of the gang.

The first time smoking weed I felt funny and a bit sick but got the desired effect.

Doing drugs got to be a fast learned habit.

welcome to my blog.

Todays theme is poverty. If you read my blogs regulary you will have noticed that I'm not living like today's other people. For those who don't read my blogs: Hi, my name is Lynn. I'm religious and part of a fundamentalist mormon community. But let's continue with the blog.

In my opinion beeing poor is a cruel fate. But we shouldn't forget that it's God's will if someone is poor or lives in poverty. I think there are people who call us poor and they might think that we live in poverty with bad conditions. If you ask me they are wrong. We don't live in luxury and we don't have any electric devices, because we don't need them. We don't live in poverty. We are full of faith and that's all what we need, all what you should need. 

That's my opinion. If you don't agree with me that's your thing. I would like you to comment below if you had any experiences with poverty and what you think about it. I hope you have a nice day and I see you tomorrow.

Yesterday I wrote a blog about my vegetarian lifestyle and I promised you to write something about drugs and my personal experiences. I had a difficult time. I was alone and lived on the street after I left the college. Without any friends and parents, left alone in a dark hole, I started to met some people who weren't good for me. I had tricks with my skateboard and some skills on the e-guitar. But with no connection, I didnt have the possibility to do something. My "friends" helped me and I joined their group.They often took drugs, and always said it's amazing. First I didn't want to try it, but they convinced me. But then I got addicted. It costs me a lot of money and I got criminal. Sometimes, the police caught me and told me, that it`s not the right way, but I didnt care. Of course, I had also trouble with them, but I escaped always. But after the age of sixteen, I realized what I was doing and tried to change it. I found a little organisation, that helps people out of this. They teached me, how to fight against this addiction. Its absolutly hard, but at the end, I managed to get away. Now, I started a new campaign for people like me, who also have an experience in their own childhood. 

What were your experiences? Or do you need help? Please leave it in a comment 

Thank you for reading,

Some icons of the pop culture are for example Elvis Presley or Michael Jackson.

Personally, my favorite band is U2, which is actually one of the most famous bands. The genres "grunge" and "alternative rock" are very popular at the moment and listened by a lot of young people.

Pop culture is way more than just music, even fashion and lifestyle can be based on that pop music. On the street you can find lots of teenagers and young adults living by the pop culture. I think it will get even bigger of a trend in the future.

The only problem I could see, is that this "culture" is getting to a point that it's exaggerated and transforming to a "real culture". I don't want to imagine people only singing and dancing around the city!

We smoked  a joint every day. We spent a lot of money on weed. But it was great. I do love it very much when I'm high and also listen to some relaxing music. 

Sometimes I stored about 13 grams in my room in a glass container. I had also a bong in my room and my mother thought it was a vase. We were regular

However good that sounded: Kids, don't do drugs !!! This was my blog for today.

 about MY experience with drugs today. It started when me and my best friend went to this party. There were a lot of people and everyone was

 either drunk or high. And i hate to be the only sober person at a party. To this moment i've only tried alcohol but this time i wanted to risk it all.

I saw some kids smokimg and i just sat next to them. They shared theire weed with me and it when i tried it, it was so relaxing and fun to do. 

Since then i started to do more drugs and not only at partys but also in my free time alone. After a while i also did other stuff then only weed.

But my good friend warned me, i should stop, so i did. Since then i have a very good time with weed :)

Just don't over do it.

BYE!!!

One-Night-Stands... Many know it, many do it and some regret it when it happens. Of course - there are some reasons why a one-night stand can be pretty awesome, but unfortunately there's one or the other reason why it's best to stay away from it.

I had an One-Night-Stand in my car... a red mustang, and it turns out that she got pregnant. I had no contact with the girl and I didn´t heared something about her until now. My doughter stood suddenly in front of my door and told me her story of her life.

She grews up in an Mormon commune with a lot orphans. Sometimes tells the Mother some good-night-stories and in one, my red mustang plays a role.

The children, who have no idea about technology because they have never met her before, believe that the mother tells about a horse.

What is meant is a red Ford Mustang in which the mother had an One-Night-Stand.

Rachel, who is illegally sneaking into the cellar, listens to a tape, whereupon my song "Hanging on the Telephone" is. Then she becomes pregnant for no apparent reason. She believes that she got pregnant from my song and searched for me.

Here it turns out that unwanted pregnancies through One-Night-Stands usually ends in single parents. These children then usually grow up with mothers who cannot finance a child or who do not want to take care of the child. There are also disputes about custody or responsibility for the child and / or maintenance.

Of course, it does not always have to be as bad as in my situation, but here you can clearly see the consequences it can have for the child. Since the child usually wants to get to know the father, or the mother cannot always build an emotional connection to the child.

So… you should always first think about how One-Night-Stands can end.
