Want To Learn How To Make Friendship Bracelets Or Necklaces?

There is many ways you can make friendship bracelets. There is many materials you can use and there is many colors you can get for the string. Also when you make a bracelet out of beads there are many different types of beads and colors as well. There are many designs you can make with croshay or yarn.

This article tells and shows you how to make some of the friendship bracelets or friendship necklaces and the patterns you can make. If you start to make friendship bracelets or necklaces you should start with the easy ones then as soon as you got it down try the more advanced or harder patterns.

When you see the pattern of the bracelet sometimes you think it will be really heard to make but, it really isn't as soon as you understand how to make them. When you start to make them it depends on how it says to make it but, you should try to keep the knots going the same way. So for example if you start with a forward knot try to keep all the knots forward which is shaped like a four. Before you make all the knots going the same way make sure the directions say to, or if it does not then keep the knots the same way.(A forward knot is shaped like the number four and the backwards knot is shaped like a backwards four.)

With all the patterns you can make and all the colors you can do you could make a lot of different bracelets for your friends or with your friends. Just make sure you follow and understand the directions or it might not come out how you wanted it to. Also if you do make the bracelets when you pull the knots don't make them to tight that they turn to the other color you are using but, also don't make them too loose. So have fun making friendship bracelets of necklaces.

What is a Human?

Abortion is won topic that comes up when talking about what a human is. There are many reasonable reasons to why women have abortions. 3/4 woman say that having a child can get in the way of other resposibilities. Other woman may use an excuse like not being able to afford a child. Others may say that they do not want to be a single parent or they are having problem with their partner.

Most abortions happen mostly during the first trimester. In 2007 86% of abortions were preformed by curettage. Most curettage abortions are suction prosedures. Medical abortions made up 12% of the abortions reported.

I personally think that abortion is a bad choice. I think that when you have an abortion you are killing a human yet to be born. I think that a better choice is to put the baby up for adoption.

Are You Aware Of Your Actions?

 The actions people make is how they will be determined. People decide and make there own decisions. The action decisions you make is how people are going to think of what kind of person you are. Like if you see someone who stealing from a store you would think of them as a thief , or if you see a person helping a puppy and taking the time to get the puppy to safety then you would see them as a caring and warm person.

This article tells how humans are determined by there actions. It also tells how you behavior effects you and how you make you decisions that also effect your actions. Some times people don't realize that they are getting determined by there actions they make.

Actions people make is one of the main reasons why people get accused of things too. Some people who steel and get caught would be the first person people would blame. So many times people don't think before they do there actions because they don't know whats going to happen. Also sometimes peoples actions could determine them as good people and sometimes not so good. Like when you see or hear something on the news or radio about a person doing something or who did something bad you think that person is not a good person. but we cant always judge a person if we don't  no them personally.

Should All Humans Deserve The Same Treatment

   So should all humans deserve the same treatment as others. I don't think that everyone should have the same treatment. My parents always taught me to treat others like how I would like to be treated. Ya, but what if it was like a person that had killed another person. Would you treat them with respect and care for that person? Because I sure wouldn't. But I''l still have respect for people. SOME people. I went to this website and I saw different comments. One was talking about the preamble and that it says that all men are created equal but with certain inalienable rights. Such as Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
   I think that there is no right answer. Because I can argue from both sides. Like the one that says there should be equal treatment, I can say that everyone is human and everyone makes mistakes. And that everyone should have an equal respect to everyone. Now I'm on the other side. There shouldn't be equal  treatments.
Would you let a person selling drugs to children, or get them in prison. And if that person would be free or out side of prison would you treat them the same as you would  treat a father? And would you treat a guy that hit your sister all nice and caring and all that... Because I wouldn't. I would personally go up to that man and I would do some stuff that I can't say or type. And at that point I would have no respect and I would really hate that person.
   So if you look at it at my point, you can't choose a side. I want to see another side of this but it's kind of hard for me. If you do see another side please let me know below. And let me see your side of view. And let me see any comments you might have.

Actions: do they determine who you are

So I'm guessing you all heard of Lindsay Lohan because she is always getting into trouble everywhere she goes. You question that if her actions determine who she is and I think they do. They  do because she been accused of many bad things that things that its just not worth thinking she ever stop doing things that effect her life.

For instance she could face 8 months in jail because  he probation was revoked which is connected to her jewelry theft case. the probation was also revoked because of the many charges she had. Reckless driving and giving false information to the police was part of it. Lohan has recently been booked for third degree assault charges because she reportedly punched a woman, Now after reading you probably know that she is a bad person.Yet some say that she is a good person because she fun to be around depised what all the trouble she is been to. And someone did say this it was Max George from The Wanted on this article I read recently.

 But just because some people say she is a good person that doesn't mean their right that's just their opinion and everyone has one. From all I have read I have decided to know that her actions do determine who she is because she has gotten in trouble so many times and getting in trouble means that you are a bad person because someone who is good is probably a good person. I think their comes a point were you do so many bad things that when people hear about their not even surprise because they know you for doing things that are bad. What I'm saying is that your actions do determine who you are because if your actions or bad your are know for always doing that's bad and if your know to be good then your expected to be a good person and do good things.


The Power of Attitude

Do your actions show what kind of person you are? Its doesn't, for example, say its the first day of school and i'm really tired because i'm not used to the schedule. So i'm lazy in class today, but usually i'm not.The teacher is going to see me this way and think, "Oh gosh, another lazy student." You attitude determines on your altitude. Its your vibe really.However you set yourself up that day, weather is happy, sad, mad whatever, its going to rub off on whoever your with. Its how you carry yourself. Or you can be an influence to others. Say you have a little brother or sister that looks up to you. Now say your older brother calls you a name, so you of course get mad and say something back your little brother is going to observe you and your actions and copy. Like when you, your mom and little brother are going to the store then someone cuts her off, and she starts yelling out the window and a word accidentally slips out. Next thing you know your little brother is in the back seat repeating that word over and over. You see your vibe, your words, your actions rub off on others.

Study shows that positive attitude is healthy and you will live longer. As this link above states, "They found that people who maintained a positive attitude were significantly less likely to show signs of aging, they were less likely to become frail and were more likely to be stronger and healthier than those that had a negative attitude." So technically negative energy make you weaker, and age faster. Like I was saying before, this article agrees with me, "Before you say a word, your attitudes can infect the people who see you with the same behavior. Somehow just by looking or feeling, you can be infected by another person's attitude, and vice versa. When you are operating from inside a really useful attitude, such as enthusiasm, curiosity, and humility, your body language tends to take care of itself and sends out unmistakable signals of openness."

Now there are ways to improve on your attitude. Some people listen to Cd's or read books and magazines, some even see a therapist.There are also other ways.Like if you have enough self-control, you can control yourself on what your doing and think twice. This is a good way to also handle it, "Approach the problem with the expectant attitude that there is an innovative practical solution just waiting to be found. Be relaxed, confident and clear in your mind."Here is a great quote that may motivate you."There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. This little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative."-Clement W. Stone

Therefore your actions do depend on what kind of person you  are. And your actions may make you healthy or not. This is why you should thank god for a day he did not promise to you and take this privilege to make a good first impression, or a great day.

What you do is what you are. Unless you change...

Photo credit.What you do is what you are. Unless you change. I say that because it is true. You see people all the time doing what they are. From a sweet "hello", to a nasty "outta my way!!".  It is true that what people do, and say, is what they are going to be, or that is what they are. You see a person really happy and joyful and they help an old lady across the street, you can infer that that person is a happy being and is not hateful. While the other side, you see a person that is shoving people and saying hateful things, you can infer that that person is a mean person, has dealt with difficult times, or that they are a huge jerkface. So, some people are just the way they are by what they are doing, or what happened to them. Now I can be wrong. Lots of people say that if you do something or act a certain way, you are that forever. That is not true. People change everyday. One day, they can be happy and the next day, they are fustrated, or depressed. And lots others too. So, people can stay how they act based on what happened to them, or naturally, or people can change the way they act based on what happened to them. Like in Flowers for Algernon. And House of the scorpions. In flowers for Algernon, Charlie was happy with his "friends". Little did he know that his "friends" were making fun of him because he was mental. And after the operation, charlie had finally noticed that his "friends" were making fun of him. Then he CHANGED and became a little miserable. And in House of the scorpions, there are some parts of the story that will change from good to bad, or fustrated, depressed, ect.

Animal Teasting

Animal testing is not a good thing. This week I read a article that stated many reasons why animal testing is bad. I honestly did not know many of the things that it stated. In some ways I do agree that animal testing is bad, but yet the article does not completely convince me that animal testing is bad. I do agree however with using the alternatives with using animal testing. Animal testing should not completely be band from America because we still need animal testing to cure sicknesses. I personally think that animal testing is better then having to test on humans.

Animal Testing Is It Good Or Not So Good!

There is many different results to animal testing. Many people have different opinions on animal  testing as well. Some people think its not good and not right. others say "What else could they test on?" So what would you say on animal testing.

With all the different opinions, reasons, and results sometimes it can be good and sometimes not so good. It depends on what the test is for, because what its to help save lives of animals or humans. The thing that surprised me in a article I read " Why America Should Ban Animal Testing" was how it talked about a collage using minks in its biology labs instead of cadavers, or deceased human beings who decide while living to donate there bodies to science and education. the minks coast around ten dollars a piece while they are already dead. If the human and animal is dead there might be different tests for both.

Also in the article it gives a lot of examples in it. Some was about the animals that get tested. Another example was how animals could get harmed from the testing. There was some expert opinions in the article as well. One is how the article gave strong opinions on what they think or know about the animals, also why the animals shouldn't be tested on. This is an expert opinion because many people could agree or disagree with the opinions that he article gives.

The article had some convincing things in it too. There was many things in the article that was convincing in the article, like how it talks about the animals being marvelous creatures who like on the Earth with us. They are marvelous creatures. That wasn't the only thing that was convincing there was another thing and it was how they give a a lot of examples and opinions about the animals.

The thing that was questionable in the article was how it said,"Humans tend arrogantly to cast animals aside as inferior, and thus find it okay to cause animals pain for there own benefit..." They don't hurt the animals on purpose  Also they do care for the animals. The test they do is for there job and some might not even like having to do the tests on the animals. That is what was questionable for me not just because of that but also because they didn't even ask the scientist who have to do the test on the animals think about it. If they did ask them they could get a lot more answers for things in their article. This is why animal testing could be good or not so good.

Animal Testing

I believe animal testing is both good and bad. Well good for us humans and bad for the animals. It's good for us human because we dont have to be the  one's been tested on.  So this means it's bad for the animals because their the ones who are been tested for our benefit.

  The animals are the one's who have to suffer if the testing goes wrong.  Animals aren't "re usable" so if something goes wrong they will probably die.  If we keep using animals for testing it will effect them because their population might decrease and then they will have less people to mate with.

 But all of this doesn't affect people.  Some know that it hurts the animals but they could care less.  They probably don't care because they don't have to be the one that is being tested on. People use the stuff the animals are tested on when the results are good for the animals.  This is good because that way people know that it's safe to consume what they need and it's all thanks to animals testing.  I mean if it weren't for animal testing we wouldn't know whats good or bad for us.  If we just consume anything then we will probably get sick.  This is why animal testing is important it helps us stay healthy. So in  a way animal testing is good and bad.

STOP Animal Testing

    Animal testing. I think, that is bad and should not be done. I read ''Why America Should Ban Animal Testing'', and  I got surprised that it said that people intentionally damaged the eyes of rabbits to serve as a model for ''dry eye'' conditions.And also a beagle who were then purposefully infected with a mold in order to test on new human drugs on them. Just that right there wants to make me say some words that I can say or type. And this actually surprises me that humans can be so cruel and hurt full to animals like that.
    The author of the book puts facts that this is expensive. Like a loss of an animals life is already PRICELESS! The author also uses examples like the two I typed on the first paragraph.  And the author also uses emotional appeal. For example the author says that animals do feel pain and they do suffer. And these are some evidence that the author uses in the text.
    I got convinced when the author talks about that instead using animals, they can use computer modeling. And that would be nice if did use that than instead of the use of LIVE, LIVING creatures. And if you do read '' Why America Should Ban Animal Testing'', everything is well said and I really didn't have any questions because I agree with the author. And I do think that animal testing should be BANNED!

Animal testing is wrong! To me.

Today, we read an article about saving animals from harmful testing and products. And I agree with the article. Yeah, I know that you scientists are trying to test these products and make sure they are safe, but just know this...ANIMALS ARE NOT HUMANS!! Animals are not to be tested no matter what kind of product it is to me because if the product is painful, it would minus the population of the species or, species indangered. [Near extinct or near death.] There are more alternatives and more things you can test on than animals. You can test it on people who dedicated their lives to science. Or corrositex. The article said, "Corrositex, one of its suggestions, is a type of artificial skin that can measure the corrosiveness of an applied product." The article also said,  "Corrositex is far more efficient and far less cruel than using on animals skin to do the same thing." And here is another alternative. "With today's leaps and bounds in technological advancement computer modeling is another suggestion. Computer modeling alone would substantually cut costs for scientists, as computer software is versatile and infenitely reusable." So what i'm saying is, stop using the animals and just use your alternatives because years from now, if you keep using animals, there will be no more left in the world. And the earth will be of two things: All of us would starve and/or, the scientist will stert capturing people to test on.
