If I Ever Raise Children...

Children isn't something that I want honestly. Maybe in the future I might change my mind. But If I ever decide that I want children then most likely I would rather adopt a child rather than me actually giving birth. Based on other women's experiences with being pregnant that I've heard, I don't want to go through that. Thats unnecessary stress that I don't need in my life. One thing that Ill never do as a parent though is show my children hateful views towards other people. Some kids from my generation are homophobic, transphobic, or racist just because of their parents views. These are the people ill probably tell my kids to avoid. I could never be around somebody with negative views. Imagine being bothered by somebody just being themselves. That could never be me. You people need to think for yourselves and start accepting people for who they are. 

(Literally has nothing to do with this blog but check out these possums in costumes.)

I want to be that parent to show children love and not hate. Kids can be easily manipulated if you just teach them hate. Why would any parent want that? This is a cycle that must be broken now. These negative comments could affect another kids life and not feel accepted for who they are. This is really just thinking about others too. We need to stop and think about not just yourself. This could also be your parents too. In many cases kids are afraid to be themselves just because of their parents who aren't accepting. This can be emotionally and mentally damaging for a kid or teen. This is something that ill never do. Like why would you want to make your own child feel that way and not feel accepted at home? That could never be me either. My point is that if I ever have kids, ill show them how to love and not hate other people and to always respect too. We should all know that kids are sensitive and that parents need to learn how to be more accepting and understanding. 

Look Past By Eric Devine

For a few weeks now I've been reading a book called 'Look Past' by Eric Devine sometimes on my free time or in class. The good thing about this book for me is that it keeps me entertained when I read it. Its surprising for me because I'm never entertained by a book. I also never made time to read books either. So far I've read up to chapter 6. These few chapters is mostly about two main characters named Avery and Mary. Avery is a transgender boy and really has never had somebody who has accepted him for him. He's always been rejected by everyone. Adults and kids his age. He's always had a good relationship with this girl named Mary. Why? because she was the only girl who accepted him for who he is. They've had this bond since they were little kids. Avery never had a good relationship with somebody else before, especially from a girl. He's always had feelings for Mary but never actually told her how he feels about her before. I believe what held him back was Marys father. Marys father is a local pastor thats very strict of course. He's transphobic and has made rude comments about Avery. Avery makes it very clear that he hates Marys father too. 

this is me reading

After Avery tells us about his relationship with Mary, he then talks about the present. Avery has recently found out that Mary has gone missing and nobody knows where she went. Things get worse later. Its been discovered that Mary was murdered and the killer is still on the loose. This brings a lot of worry and panic in town. Anybody could be murdered next. Avery wants to know who did this or why but everyone is having a difficult time finding out who the murderer is. Not many clues either for me to find out who it was either. So far I've been enjoying this book and I do want to know what happens next.
