Every Valentines Day in the past has sucked. I usually am in a relationship but then miraculously we break up and then I am all-alone. I like Valentines Day for the most part. I think that Valentines Day is a special day to a lot of people, and it is dedicated to showing the person you love/like how much you care for them. I don’t have any traditions other than what everyone else seems to do. The exchanging of cards, and love notes. I was hoping to go with my boyfriend tomorrow, but that fell through.
My dream Valentines Day is to be in a stable relationship, and do some romantic things. I want to have a romantic candle lit dinner with soft music playing in the background. We would toast to our love with some warm glasses of wine. Afterwards I would cuddle with my loved one until the sun goes down.

School should not get out on Thursdays and be out on Fridays. For one kids need all the education they can get, two it would probably increase the trouble that teens tend to get into, and finally because there is no real benefit to it.
Kids need to attend school in order to acquire the education that is needed to get by in this world. The less time you spend on reviewing your work and learning, you have a greater chance at being unsuccessful. Some things that didn’t require a certain levels of skill and education require it now.
Not going to school on Fridays could help increase the likelihood of trouble that teenagers get into over the weekends. The more time teens have to slack off, the more chances they have to act out negatively. It would only worsen the way things already are.
There is no real point to not having school on Fridays. The only reasons why teens would want that option is to sleep in and have more time to do “fun” things, when all it’s really doings is depriving you. This option would just add to the people who are confused about schoolwork, and it wouldn’t help the homework load that they take home.
School should not be out on Fridays, all its doing is taking away from your opportunities and abilities of having a successful life. It will decrease your knowledge and increase the proneness of doing unsuccessful things.

So lately I have had a lot going on in my life. Therapy hasn’t been going that great. Everyone on my team seems to be against me. I try to explain myself and why I do the things I do, but they assume total different reasonings. If the team meetings are about me and for me shouldn’t I have a say in how my meetings go? Not only do my meetings go bad but my home life has been going down the drain. Ever since I said I don’t want to take my pills anymore. My foster mom wants me to take my pills to benefit everyone else on my team and foster home. I don’t think I should have to do something. I don’t like in order to please everyone.

If I could give a younger sister advice about dating and relationships, I would first tell her she shouldn’t rush into anything. I would tell her she should get to know the person before they even think about becoming more than friends. She should take her relationship slowly and only do things that she feels comfortable with and is ready to do. I would warn her of things that could be hard to deal with and share some ways to handle it that helped me. I would advise her on the type of person she should look for, and the qualities that she needs to look for in a person. I would share some dating experiences of mine both good and bad. I want her to be able to make her own decisions but also be able to communicate with the person she is dating.
