My Thoughts About Writing.

I think writing helps everyone through their problems, a lot of people hold in all their emotions, experiences, thoughts, etc. When they write it's like your letting it all out to someone. All the weight is off your shoulders. In the book I read everyone in there are happy even know they all had something bad happen. What I recommend other students to do is write about something big that happen in their life like: teen parenting, suffering from any kind of disease or anything that you feel alone in this world and need to tell someone because once you start writing you feel big relief, you feel better about yourself because later in life you look back at it you think to yourself, "I got through it, look where I am now, In a way better place."

"Teens Write Through It" - Reflection

Well from reading the book "Teens Write Through It" I have learned, that my life isn't as bad as others that I have read about in this book. If I ever was in any position they were in I would know how to cope with it a little more better. I have also learned that god has a purpose for what happens in life. I've learned that you can have writing as a way to relieve weight off your shoulders because its like your telling someone. They wrote so people can know what they went through and for other teens to learn from it and so they wouldn't make the same mistake the writers did. I think it helped the readers by writing their feelings and telling it to the whole world. It gave them a relief.

The first part, I think is really sad. I couldn't imagine what it would be like in any of their position. I can relate to it a lot. My grandpa and my aunt also died from cancer and my mom is diagnosed with colon cancer currently. I just hope my mom don't turn out the way he did. The third part is kind of messed up of them trying to just take all the money, house and everything, I bet my family would do the same thing. The next story i agree with the writer hundred percent, because i almost went through the same thing. I am also very close to my grandma, and she also got very sick where she was in the hospital for 4 months. But she got better. The thing is I know if she gets sick one more time she won't make it. So i take everyday as a blessing with my grandma. I think that the girl is right about god having a purpose for everyone and what happens. The last story is also sad, i dont know what to say. I just know that from all the stories I have read in this wonderful book is, that evan know i may not be happy for what i dont have, I need to be happy for what i have, it can be way worse. I also learned from this book is if any of these things happen to me i would remember how open minding and positive the writers were and how I can cope with doing well.

The first section, I really don't know about the friendship part. I don't let myself get close to people. The Social crisis, I've seen it before from siblings so I know what she's going through. On the childhood lost, i thought that was really really sick and sad. I cant believe anyone can do that to someone. I feel so sorry for that girl. I don't know what I would do if I ever had that happen to me. I can't imagine the pain.

"Teens Write Through It" Pg. 123- 137

On the first story I read, I know how the girl feels. I know its hard to walk away especially from a guy. I think she made the best decision on walking away. The other two stories are very similar to each other. The first one i can realate to a little not really but the moving part to be with my mom i went through. The second one i also had problems too with changing schools. It is very hard and i bet more hard not speaking english.

"Teens Write Though It" Pg. 104 -122

The part I think is sad because I noticed a lot of teens feel lonely and no one is there for them. I can relate to that. But a lot of them find a way, not all but some. I think that going to a mental health wouldn't really work, they need people to help them show them that their there and always will be, Like family. I noticed a lot of teens also think stopping depression is cutting their wrists or suicide. I don't know what to say about that because i never think that way but it is understandable. The second part i definitely relate to moving, i moved probably about 9 times so far. Its very hard especially the school part. The "meeting new people". A lot of teens in here that i read so far still don't like where they moved.

On the first part I read, I know how exactly how that person felt. I really can relate myself to her. Not fully, I never cried. The Second part of the section about immigrants I never really experienced it but I can understand what they're going through since most my family is also an immigrant. I bet it was really hard on them going through that and having to start with a new life. The last part I read is also understandable a lot of teens go through depression. Teachers in my middle school though I was. I think the hardest part of life is when we are all teens.
