number 8.

honestly, this show legit use to be my favorite show ever. although i was only watching it, and not actually taking part in it in any way, i though it was sooooo sad. not to mention, you learn alot from it wether you mean to or not. just from listening to what people have to say and knowing that, all these stories are legit, can be really emotional. not to mention makes you realize flaws about yourself when you see something happening on tv, and you hear people talk about this kinda stuff you just realize all the bad things you have done to people.
it is similar, because like ALL highschools, there's a shit load of drama here. but like i said before, there is at all schools, but it is a simailarity that we have with "roumer valley" haha. somethings that are different are our cliques aren't as intense as the ones that we watched and the pricipal at that school realizes how much drama and things go on there, where in IDCI, our principal acts like he's clueless.. or doesn't do a good enough job at trying to stop it.
the overall concept is deffinatly to stop and realize what you are doing and saying to people. put yourself in other people's shoes, think about what they may be going through or what they have been brought up around. everyone has a story to tell, and really everyone does so just stop and take a second look. think about what is going on around you and what you are doing to people even just by laughing at them when someone else is talking crap about someone else.
i would want to be apart of something like this because i like to voice my opinion, and tell people what's going on when i am asking, and i know that i am labeled, everyone is i have many different labels that people call me, and i am none of what they say, people say im a b*tch because i wont let someone lie to me or walk all over me and get away with it.. people say im a dirt because i hangout out front, (smoke pit) uhm, i don't smoke and im pretty sure i shower EVERYDAY. i am far from a dirt, and there are a few other thing's i've been labeled as that i will leave off of here, but really until you know me don't say anything because that's when you will make me mad and i will be a b*tch. i wouldnt want to do this at the same time though because i dont care what people think of me and i think that opening up to someone that i truly dont know that has lableled me before will just give them more things to talk about so i dont reall care for it at the same time..
i just believe that if someone thinks something about me not much is going to change their opinion. and thats fine. i dont care.
probably because the school is trying to get more people to talk, and be interested in things like education, and such but to do that you need to have friends, or atleast someone who you can talk to, this is high school you NEED to have A friend, or SOMEONE to talk too.. no matter who you are, imagine if it was you that no one talked to and you got bullied everyday. that would seriously suck ass.
i think that i said alot of what i wanted too, but i think that this thing will and will not work, because high school kids are stubborn, it's just the age and a stage of life. but i think it may because there is a pretty good chunk of the school that would be willing to change and take into consideration what we are actually trying to do here. others may not care at all, i guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.
i just hope people learn something from this even if it is just to sit back and think before you say something about someone, think about why they MIGHT be the way they are, think about saying something positive instead of negitive. like we've been learning all semster so far, we are the change, and if we don't start now it wont end up changing anything.

number 7, today was an important day.

we learned today that people need to try to get to know eachother better and do things that will get people to be more comforatble with one another so that we can finally all feel like we can talk to people in the class, even if we don't hangout with them day to day or talk much.
i think the seating will help alot, or if you Mr. T, make groups so that we don't just wander off into our own little groups, because that would kinda defete the purpose of even moving, like just because you are sitting beside someone doesn't mean you are going to talk to them or anything.
anyone that has beef should apolagize, and try to make things better. or people that really don't like coming out of their comfort zones, should try harder.
