She didn’t care about the sledging by the other team. She cared desperately that her dad yelled at her for failing to shoot the goal’. This is a clear example of toxic parents poisoning the clubs and how bad sportsmanship can affect a careless 8 year old. Which positions
The soldiers live and fight in terrible conditions. This environment begins a cycle that causes the soldiers to despise the Iraqis. They are under constant fear of being attacked or blown up. They are living in a location, the desert, which they are not use to. “The dust, the fear, the high threat level, the isolation-all of that was the surge the soldiers knew .
Cursing under my breath and shaking my head I get ready to meet my fate. I bowed my head and prayed to God me and my brother would be alive and that we wouldn’t have to kill each other. But I fear, there is no God here just death. We draw our weapons and begin firing at once, the bullets hitting the body sounded like thunder and shattered their bones in a blink of an eye. Blood started flying everywhere, and the once green grass now became a pool of dark red blood at our feet.
| 189 | Our faces are as red as the poppies of which the war poets are writing back home. | 191 | An enemy like the Hun does not merit humane treatment in war.
This death hit these soldiers hardest in the gut because Restrepo happened to be a friend to everyone. Restrepo was shot in the neck, a wound that a medic could have easily fixed. He tried to tell the soldiers how to operate on the wound by walking them through it, but it was hard with a wounded neck, and no other doctor around to help. This event impacted the soldiers a lot because they had a chance to save a close friend, but couldn’t. A feeling like this to some people can only be imagined.
Thrust into the real world with our confidence almost permanently shattered, we are expected to be successful and important when prior to that we were always told the opposite. Bullying harms us not only in our youth, but for the rest of our lives. In the poem “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan, we hear the story of children who have faced the effects of being bullied. A little girl for something as foolish as a birthmark on her face and a boy for thinking pork chops and karate chops were the same. Age did not change the words that cut through that poor little girl.
What disciplinary problems became more widespread and evident within the armed forces during the latter stages of Vietnam? Why did these problems exist, how were they handled, and what was their overall impact on the war at large? Approaching the end of a purposeless, wasteful, undefined, and futile show of power, armed forces personnel understandably became restless. Compound with leadership disorderliness, indiscipline spread quickly amongst the ranks. Beginning with mere lack of proper grooming standards; as sympathetic solders of the antiwar movement lacked proper haircuts, displayed peace medallions, penned “UUUU” on their helmets meaning “We are the Unwilling, led by the Unqualified, to do the Unnecessary for the Ungrateful.” Desertion rate was at an all-time high, for all services during the Vietnam era and more so around the world.
At home her mother would always be very distant and would constantly talk about her past as a teenager and how popularity is very important which would get even worse later in the book to the point where she totally isolates herself from people and gets sent to an institution. Geri started to drink more and stopped talking to her two best and only friends Carolyn and BJ to join another group of friends who were “cooler” and would always drink and throw partys. Geri eventually became an alcoholic and would be drinking every single day which was a choice of hers. Nobody forced Geri to drink and after everytime a terrible event would happen she would always promise herself she’d never do it again but then when she felt low she would just start small and go back up. The point of this is that the events such as her families situation could have been solved if she had put effort into it but instead she began drinking which was her choice and she had total control over
We've been fucking freeloading off her boyfriends parents for 4 years now. I can't diligently stand it here. Annie's a fucking whore who can barely get by in school and she's still the fucking golden child and so is Mia. Everyone just looks at me like I'm dirt at the bottom of the barrel. And none of them even care what happens to me.
More and more parents are letting go of their stern parenting not even giving their kids a small "spank" on the bottom which is NOT child abuse. They are afraid to do that these days because of these psycho moms and dads who call the DCFS and the police if they see or hear of you spanking your child. Children test their boundaries. Back in the day our parents used to REALLY SPANK us if we did something wrong and I bet we never did that thing again. These days the kids get time outs and the parents try talking to them as if they were mini adults and can understand and grasp exactly the point you are trying to get across to them.
