I'm No Longer Supporting Michael Jackson After Viewing Documentary

Leaving Neverland gave Wade Robson and James Safechuck the opportunity to share their whole story about their sexual abuse experiences with Michael Jackson. Before forming an opinion on the matter of their statements, please watch the documentary and listen to these two men. Yes, I do believe their stories, I do believe all those things happened to them. Abuse is real and based on their testimonies, it happened to them too. What took them so long to come out about their stories is that they had to come to terms about what had occurred at Neverland. Their realizations came from each of them being a father. To think that someone could hurt or touch their child in that manner, it disgusted them. These two men realized just how wrong Michael was to do that to them.

Yes, I understand, it is messed up that as these boy's parents, they allowed Wade and James to spend the night over at Neverland. Even though the mother's of the two boys were included in the documentary, I still don't understand why they thought it was okay. I understand that some people place some of the blame of the molestation on the mothers of Wade and James. Even though their actions influenced the situation, the blame lands on Michael Jackson, luring in these boys, saying, "this is how we show our love."

Some people who know about the documentary have told me they will continue to listen to Michael Jackon's music. Their reasons are, "he's dead, he isn't getting the royalties" or "who cares, he's dead." They are right, he is dead, and now the royalties are going to his estate.

Do not forget what some people say when someone passes away... "They may be gone, but their legacy lives on." Michael Jackson's LEGACY is still living on. I will no longer be supporting or listening to his music. When I return home, I hope to eradicate his image from my room, any CD's, movies, or magazines. I will not let his legacy live on where I live. It is your choice to let the legacy continue in your life.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
