The Clown Epidemic

Halloween is near, and so are the clowns. If you haven't heard already, there are clowns terrorizing America. Where has this originated from? Was it just a joke that went viral and now everyone is dressing up as clowns to bring themselves attention? Or is this an actual issue of psychotic, crazed and confused people looking for "fun"? Is luring children into the woods with money, candy or balloons really fun? Is kidnapping innocent beings that have done no wrong and leading them to be raped, murdered, injured or missing for years cool?

Many teenagers are in these rebellious stages and they think it is cool to put on clown masks now for the publicity and fame. Even if it's a short 30-second segment on the news, these people are satisfied with themselves and it gives them pleasure. Our world has changed so much from back when our parents were just children. They never had 18,000 bullying conventions in school. It was called having tough skin. The emotional problems the new generations have are out of control. The way we teach our younger generations is wrong.

On your eight-year-old birthday, one may have received crayons and a book to read and that was amazing! However, now kids are receiving the latest technologies like an iPhone 7! We hand way too many things to this new generation and we can't discipline them. Kids have tried turning the tables, a smack on the ass is now a lawsuit or child abuse! Parents not able to give enforcement in their households and it feeds this epidemic. People let their teenagers or young children out alone and not minding who they associate with; in turn, they dress up as clowns to have "fun." Clowns are now seen everywhere, even wielding machetes and guns. There is no sense of this. And once a police officers sees this and opens fire, the clown will press charges or the family will. How is the fair to our police officers?

This clown epidemic needs to be put to an end. America was built to be free and safe, however, we are being terrorized by our own people in a mask. Let's revolt and push the clowns back. No clown masks in stores or restaurants. No masks out past towns curfew say midnight or so til 7 a.m. People seen with masks by kids or picking on other children should be arrested on spot and placed in squad car for further questioning. Let's end the epidemic and regain our peace. Let's live our lives calmingly not in fear for our children. Let's make America safe for the children and show many others how to be great again.

If you have any suggestions, thoughts, or even stories about these clowns please comment.

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.
