Wake Up America This Is Bad News

Wake Up America

Lately in the news, there was a new policy that was passed. This policy allows boys to enter a girl's bathroom and girls can now use the boys' restroom. People are saying that this opens the door to more rapes, but open your eyes America because rapes will happen either way. With old bathroom policies, women used the women's restroom and men used the men's restroom. Every now and then, you would have a child molester enter the bathroom of the opposite sex and take videos and watch people.

So why does America now care about their little boys and girls going to restrooms? If a rapist wants to rape someone, they will do it no matter what. The new bathroom policy just makes it legal for rapists to rape people in bathrooms.

I personally believe that people should use the bathroom in which they are comfortable using. Judging by what is between your legs depends on what bathroom you should use. I have never feared being watched in public restrooms until this new law has passed, but I do understand that no matter what the law is, it could have always happened to me.

I believe that bathroom policies were okay the way they were before with less fear of people being creepy in bathrooms. Moms and dads should not have to fear taking their kids to the restroom in public. People should not have to fear for their invasion of privacy in restrooms.

I think bathroom policies should go back to the way they were before making it okay for people to use any bathroom that they please. At least then there wasn't much talk of girls getting videotaped in bathroom stalls and flagged down.

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.
