We see them everywhere. They are the little monsters that terrorize the planet with their unruly ability to follow the guidelines. They learned how to control their parents with their manipulative ways. The little monsters I am talking about are the demon- like children who do not follow anyone's rules. How they got this way is beyond my knowledge.People have blamed society for the lack of discipline enacted by parents; ironically, society also deems capital punishment that parents enforce as wrong. These kids have become the abuser in the relationship between them and their parents.

When I was a child and I did something wrong, I was first given a verbal warning explaining if I did not “straighten up” I would be put in my place. If I so happened to do it again, I would then be put in “my place,” aka I would have been smacked on the rear. Parents today have been told by society that hitting is wrong, it is abusive, and it causes self-esteem issues. On the other hand, it also has made parents become the abused. Think about it...we now see parents scared to enforce laws in their households because they do not want authorities to think they are being abusive.

This type of behavior leads to children thinking that they are gods and that they are allowed to do what they please. This means that kids can act out in public and get away with their actions because either parents are afraid to enforce doctrine because people around them might condemn them or because they have it so engrained in their minds that their children are allowed to act that way. How does this seem right? We allow children to run us, they then become adults that believe that rules don’t apply to them. How does society not see that this type of allowance is causing parents to be vicitimized? Children are allowed to basically do what they want without consequence. We talk a lot about parents abusing children, but this is a two way road.

I do not support abuse, towards children, spouses, or parents. It does not always have to be physical when it comes to abuse, it’s more on a mental level. I believe society needs to let parents discipline their children in a way that makes children understand that it is not “all about them.” These kids are our future, do you really want self entitled maniacs running this joint?

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.
