Hello, bloggers..
"Do not follow the pack, or you will end up like one of them, or worse"-Bailey Vannil

"You have connections," a girl from my school was telling me
"You can ask Blair, I can't" she continued
"I don't have any connections" she moaned
"Fine" the girl whose name I cannot remember was begging me to ask the popular girl in school, Blair to go to this dance that she was hosting, my mom's best friend was Blair's Mom, so I got invited; that's why what's-her-name was asking me to ask Blair.. I have connections.

Later that day I asked Blair, and she hesitantly said 'fine' and I don't know why, but just by her allowing 'what-her-name' to go to the party, I took that as my replacement... I didn't have to go to the party... So I didn't see what happened..
'What's-Her-Name' was actually named Charlotte, and she was the type of girl who did not make it into the popular crowd.. But she was willing to do almost anything to be in it... So at the party that I was not at last night there was a huge game of Truth or Dare, but in this game, it was basically Dare or Dare: You could only choose Truth once.. So, by trying to make herself look more popular and cooler than she is, Charlotte agreed to do all of the Dares that they asked. First it was simple: Rip a piece of your hair out, lick the window, eat something gross that they made, etc. But then it got 'unfair' like, go under water for 5 minutes, jump off the porch... That was 'cool' but it wasn't that deadly, expect for the hold your breath for 5 minutes part, until they told her to climb the roof and jump down... Charlotte was desperate to be in this crowd, so she would do anything, but this party was hosted at one of the 'IT' girl's house, and she was rich, very rich so she had a big house, a HUGE house! So when Charlotte climbed up she was scared, but nothing bad happened, until she jumped, at the worst Charlotte expected to break a arm, or a leg, it might hurt, and might make her look like a dork, but it would show courage...So, that little speech in her head made her get more confident, so when she stepped up and jumped, she was so certain that she would be fine, that she forgot to land on her legs, or hands, whatever. But she fell on her face.. People laughed, and thought that it was funny.. Until they realized that Charlotte was not okay...
That day Charlotte died,
just to impress a stupid clique..
"Don't follow the pack, or you will end up like them, or worse"
Looks like Charlotte got worse,
XOXO,

Hello, bloggers.
I hope you all are not apart of this sad statistic-3 people every day die of an eating disorder, that adds up to 10 million kids, women, and men every year, that is 1/6 of our entire world . That does not include people who die of hunger and starvation in Africa, and places like that.
"Jealously kills not only its prey, but also it's raging heart" -Anonymous

"Jealous, that's what you are" Said Ashley to me,
"I know, I know, I just really wanted that part in the play, it's perfect for me!" I replied, the breeze blowing in my hair.
After a few days my view point on jealousy turned, dramatically, now jealousy is not just a part in a play I didn't get. But something more, something more complicated, something that kills...
A read something in the news a couple days ago... It was about this..

A young woman, Samantha Brooks, was popular, and all that everybody wanted to be her...Everyone wanted to be popular...Everybody wanted to be thin...Samantha had all of that-But, she didn't think that she was thin. She thought she was fat, and she soon became so jealous of her friend... Even though Samantha thought she was fat, she didn't really care what anyone else thought of her, and she never complained..Until her friend Crystal, who weighed, like, 60 pounds started complaining, saying that she was fat, ugly... She wasn't.. Samantha soon got more jealous and angry at her friend...Crystal was not ugly or fat, so why did she say that? It made her sooo angry! So angry and jealous until Samantha soon began to grow an eating disorder.. Samantha only ate 900 calories every day, and would barely live. Samantha was soon hospitalized, and was fed by a tube. She was a living vegetable, and soon died a couple months into being hospitalized....
We've all heard those quotes: "Jealousy kills" well, today, we're living proof of it.
