3 Protests Worth Fighting And Protesting About
Instagram

Everyone has something they are passionate about. Whether it be the rising cost of buying a house or the way people still treat women. You have to care about something if you are willing to go out and protest for it. These are just a few things that I think are definitely worth caring about.

1. Birth control

As a person who was diagnosed with being anemic the thought of birth control being taken away or charging obnoxious amounts to get this really pisses me off. I get people saying just don't have sex if you don't want a kid. There are a few issues with this though. The first being that birth control is not just for people having sex. Also who really cares who has sex or not? Like you’re going to put the fact that some people do not want kids into your own personal life?

You are screwing over people you don't even know all because they want to do the dirty without repercussions. Also, birth control gets prescribed by doctors to females whos cramps make them cry and throw up and actually want to die so they are not in pain of it anymore. I know people who have passed out from pain from cramps because they cannot afford the birth control that would make that issue completely disappear.

It also helps regulate periods. Meaning if you're anemic like me, you do not bleed 3 weeks out of the month anymore. Taking away birth control screws over most of the female population. NO UTERUS NO OPINION!

2. Gun control

With all the shootings all attention is on gun control. People want to take away the guns but the issue with this is that they are too integrated into today's society so they will never completely be gone. Instead of banning all guns they should do more background checks and make any owner go through a class of gun safety before purchasing them. Different levels of classes for the more dangerous guns.

3. Solar farms

This is a more personal protest for me. My town and the surrounding ones are all basically farmlands. A town over the solar companies want to use some of the land. Now, this would be a really amazing thing. Renewable energy and all. The issue come in with the fact the company is low key screwing over the farmers and the surrounding land. They don’t have a plan as to how the farms wouldn’t become flooded in the rain, meaning the solar panels would get fried and the farmer would have to pay for that.

They also demand the farmers do the maintenance to the solar panels which they are not trained to do. The farmers would need to pay for access roads to be built. The final blow is all the energy goes to one company that is already in control of basically all internet and landlines of the four towns.

This just gives them more power to overcharge everyone while they keep most of the energy and profits for themselves. They have basically monopolized the towns around mine and my town. I believe solar panel farms would be good but not under these conditions whatsoever.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
