Currently I am reading a social action book called " Girls on the Edge " . It is about three girls with their stories about how their issues such as cyber-bullying, how people see them, and their experience with anorexia.
It is really sad to know that things like this actually happen. Girls starve themselves to be " Skinny ". they don't know by doing this they are putting themselves on risk of death. They want to be someone that is liked and known by people around them "boys". They don't see that it isn't important to be themselves, they see it as i have to be like her. I think that it is more important to be yourself then pretending to be someone else just to be liked. It is not bad being yourself, like me i am not exact-ally skinny, but i don't really care because i know that there is people in this world that care for me for who i am not my weight. I am fine, living this way. I have friends.
Also people who are getting cyber bullied need to ask for help. they should know that they aren't alone. there are people in this world that can help them get through this. and always remember the people who are bulling you, do it for fun, or maybe because they are jealous, they want to hurt you purposely so it can make them feel better. don't let them take over your life. ask for help and you will get it.

The Abandoned Book
This blog post is going to be based on a social action question: When did you find yourself resting the text? What does your resistance about you in the text ? I am going to be answering this question on this book that i abandoned The Lovely Bones by Alice Selod. In this book there is family of 5, 3 girls, a mom and a dad. One of the girls were Susie Salmon " salmon like the fish " Susie would say. Susie was murdered because she was beautiful. No one knew who murdered her and why.Except Susie of course; most people believe that after they die there soul goes up there, well instead Susie going there she went to a place that was right in between of earth and heaven. from there she would communicate with her dad.
I abandoned this book about halfway when the search for Susie's murderer just began. While i reading this book a fear grew inside of me, what if this happens to my family, what would i do? i started to put myself in to that book. this book showed me that you don't know whats going to happen and when it is going to happen. You should be grateful, you don't know how much you love something until it is taken away from you. Like me i constally have little fights with my sister about why she did this, or why she did that, but when she goes away to somewhere for hours and hours, i go crazy about why she isn't coming home, i show people some reason to cover the fact that i miss her.
while i was reading this book i began thinking about what if this happened to my sister , i placed her in Susie's place and i got afraid that i won't be able to do anything about it.
this book helped me appreciate that spend your time well you never know when you are going to lose it.
