Has anyone else noticed that people are becoming less and less creative, and 或者 diverse?
When we were all small children no matter where 你 went people were constantly telling you, that 你 can be whatever 你 want to be. And 你 believed them!

Children when they go to a party don't ever seem to become embarrassed of anything. Your clothes could be full of dirt and nobody would care. Yet as we start to get older we seem to become 更多 and 更多 self conscious, why is that?

This has become most evident among young people today, every where 你 look there are people taking pictures of themselves. People don't even interact when they go out it seems like half the 日 they spend taking 照片 the other half they are on their phones.

Instigram is a program dedicated just to that taking 照片 and videos. I can predict that 下一个 generation shall be generation self obsessed!

The education systems in most countries are not helpful either, education is mainly geared towards ticking off very specific targets. History students are having to adapt their 写作 styles in order to gain full marks. If 你 clearly know the information and 你 are capable of demonstrating your argument clearly then what is the problem?

Think about it most people when they read history 图书 the biggest complaint is that the 写作 style in which history 图书 are written is not very engaging. If there were a larger verity of 写作 styles for the same topic perhaps 更多 people would be interested.

The only purpose for setting such specific targets is to make it 更多 difficult to pass, but as a result it is promoting that everyone becomes the same. People state that so called 'learning disorders' are on the rise, but how are they actually measuring that? People think differently and have different skills and not all of these skills are being recognized.
Some people have better verbal skills, others practical skills, yet all of our exams are done written. The fact is 你 might know a lot, 你 might be an extremely intelligent human being but if 你 are not good at putting your thoughts to paper then in the world of academics 你 have basically had it!

It happens in the media too, everyone wants a flawless face, tanned skin and anything else that can be considered in fashion. Someone once told me that 'fashion is a concept so ugly that we must change it every six months'.
And what happens to those that don't like the current fashion? How many times have 你 gone on the internet and in the 评论 section there is someone calling someone an 'Emo'.

As if it is an insult so these people like to dress differently and listen to different music, what about any of that is insulting (before people 评论 由 saying that emos cut themselves, that is actually a negative stereo type, self harm is a result of bullying not of the kind of 音乐 people listen to).

At the end of the 日 we are all human beings with our own unique gifts and in today's society these gifts are not able to truly reach their full potential not necessarily because people are nit trying hard enough, but because there are very few opportunities for these abilities to be properly harnessed and tested. Perhaps the reason many people are sick and tired of school of life in general is a result of all of the issues previously mentioned. Fact is we are all stuck in this meat grinder we all go in being something unique and amazing and come out being as close to the ideal product, with nothing that truly stands out.

Please leave your own opinions bellow as I am interested to compare experiences. Thank 你 for your time!

Another poem 由 me. This one came out kinda lame,but I'll let the rating be the judge (assuming there will be any).

That Girl

Have 你 seen that girl,
That goes around here and there?
Nobody knows where she’s going,
Is she even going somewhere?

Pretty face, pretty hair,
Nobody knows her name,
She seems sad, what a coincidence,
I’ve been feeling the same.

She seems lost,
Doesn’t even know where she’s from,
I’m a nice guy so I invite her,
To stay in my home.

She seats in the couch,
My, is she pretty?
I wonder what I can say,
To comfort that girl , so dreamy.

Sarah,
She tells me it’s her name,
She feels sad,
Funny,
Because I’ve been feeling the same

嘿 there, everyone! It's the start of a brand new year, and I know we all have brand new ideas for our lives. That is why I want to open this 年 up with the first ever 潮流粉丝俱乐部 诗歌 contest! It's basic and simple, because everyone can write poetry, and it's short which means everyone can read all of the submissions in a brief period of time, whereas stories may take longer. However, if you're a story-writer (I sympathize), never fear! If this contest goes well, I may sponsor a 潮流粉丝俱乐部 Short Story Contest afterwards.

Established Rules
1) Any piece of 诗歌 is accepted, so long as it is not...

In a town called Millrace, there were two Japanese teenagers named Keiko and Hideki. They’ve known each other their whole lives. They’ve been faithful, loyal and kept each others secrets. But they’ve never planned of falling in love.
When midnight came, Keiko left her Grandmother’s house to meet with Hideki in the mountains.
“Come on, Hideki! You’re slower than a turtle!” Keiko halfway joked while climbing the mountain with him. “Am not,” Hideki scoffed. “I can see the view already, we’re almost there!” Keiko added excitedly. When they reached the 最佳, 返回页首 of the mountain,...

I find myself in a dungeon. I walk down the dungeon hall, looking into cells. I eventually come across a cell with a little boy.
"Hello sweetie. What are 你 doing in there?" I ask gently. He faces me and I see his eyes are empty, soulless, like he's dead inside.
"Mummy?" He asks with a British accent. He must be really far from home. "Are 你 my mummy?" he asks me innocently.
"No, sweetie. I don't know where your mummy is," I tell him.
"Mummy, mummy, mummy," he continues.
"Don't waste your time dearie. He never says anything else," the little man in the 下一个 cell tells me.
"Okay. And who are you...

In the West,cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh.The important feature of all these 动画片 is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained.Even though it is very funny,a good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a serious purpose.

Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years.In wartime,for example,they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda.Nowadays 动画片 are often used to make short,sharp 评论 on politics and governments as well as on a variety of...

写作 and 设计 have always been two passions of mine. When someone first approached me with a 写作 opportunity for their blog, I was shocked. It hadn’t crossed my mind for a moment that the two could be brought together harmoniously. I still remember 写作 that 文章 and building my first brainstorm of topics. I found myself asking, "What makes a good article?"




But, to hell with good articles. Anyone can write a good article. I wanted something that would floor everyone–that would make everyone say, "Who the heck is this guy, and why haven’t I read his stuff before?"

I’m always...

Chapter Two

Olivia Meyers hopped in her used brown truck. Today was the 日 she was going to prove everyone wrong. She wore her purple 羁, ter子, 吊带 dress with a thick, black 带, 皮带 around her waist. She also had some fishnet stockings and black boots that almost reached to her ankles. Her mom had left this outfit out on her 床, 床上 this morning. Olivia felt wrong for not wearing it but it made her feel too exposed so she wore a gray 夹克 also. Her strawberry-blonde hair was extra curly today then usual. It was also extra thick.

She cranked the car four time for it to finally start running. It was her dad's...

I had saved Bruno's life. He knew it was too dangerous to be on a mounain, he teleported to the Apache Junction. Unknowing where we were, we camped out. We heard someone walking outside and when we walked out, it was Apache Indians. They started talking, they were speaking Indian so we couldn't tell what they were saying. Bruno threw red circles at their necks, and when they landed, they started speaking english. One of them 说 " Why are 你 here? This is the Junction! Get Out!" Me and Bruno looked at each other. We ran as fast as we could, but, I wasn't fast enough. They grabbed me 由 the hair and pulled me away. Luckily, Bruno put his hand in the bon-fire and threw the 火, 消防 at the indians. The ran away with so much fear, they fell off a cliff. Bruno grabbed my hand until the reached a forest, there was a small waterfall 由 the forest.

I slowly walked down the stairs in my pajamas, trying desperately not to make a sound. I peeked around the 厨房 corner. Father was sitting at the 厨房 table, sipping his coffee and 阅读 the paper. I silently turned around, and tip-toed back to the stairs.

"Cosette," he 说 in a deep voice. I squeezed my eyes shut and cursed quietly. I turned back around, and shuffled my feet into the kitchen.

"Good morning, Daddy," I said, trying to make him forgive me for last night. Even though it wasn't my fault. "How'd 你 sleep last night?"

"Fine," he grumbled. "Don't think 你 can make me forget...

~ Beginning ~


Me and my best friend, Leo, both work at the same dumb 比萨, 比萨饼 商店 mostly every night of the week, we both get paid the same amount and work the same number of hours. The only difference – I do the deliveries.
I ride this crappy little flat-tyred around the neighbourhood – which, 由 the way, is so small I memorised it 由 the age of seven – delivering 比萨, 比萨饼 after pizza. Sometimes I wonder how such a small town can order so many pizzas. I deliver about twenty each Thursday night… to the same houses. Still, they know me so well the tips are considerably higher.
But moving...

Third part. Comment, fan, but above all... enjoy. :)

Recap

“Where am I going to take care of 你 then, Tye?” I ask, already worried for my new little brother. That’s how I thought of him anyway, a little brother! I’ve always wanted one.

“Not sure… Let’s pretend we’re orphans and walk around see if anyone has the 心 to take us in.” He snickers. He really is my brother! I laugh then knuckle bump with him.

“Hey, I get a new name now, right? I’ve always liked the name Dean, can I be Dean?” I asked excitedly. I need to start 表演 like a guy, puh…

“Ha ha! That sounds...

Let's face the facts. All writers get writer's block every now and then. That time when 你 写作 and 你 just stop because 你 can't get any ideas. I write all the time, so I get Writer's block constantly. And news flash...it bites! But there are some things I do to overcome them. This is a little 文章 to help all my fellow writers out there!

1. Take a Break!

Believe it 或者 not, it helps to back away from the story for a little while. I mostly write at night when my parents are sleeping. When I get stuck, I sit in the recliner for a few 分钟 with my mp3 player and daydream. 更多 often...
