A Homecoming Disaster?
So, reporter is typing this ^.^ …
So recently my high school had homecoming, and since I'm not sixteen yet, my parents don't allow me to go. Butttttt... our school was so brilliant to throw a Vegas themed homecoming, with mormon (forgot the word) but watching over you people. And it apparently was a total disaster, like guys couldn't hold a girl's waist while dancing, or barely kiss their date... I wouldn't do this, but it's HOMECOMING! It's basically a date, not a regular high school dance.
What do you think of this?

Reporter's Turn
Hey guys! So this time instead of putting another person's opinion (I'll do some later, don't worry ;) ) I would like to tell you my story or one story in that matter. You guys all know me as the 'reporter' or the 'reporter girl' right? But like almost all of you, I want my voice to be heard!
So I'm a 15 almost 16 year old girl. I've been born and raised in the "Mormon Church" or the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I use to believe in every story, and lesson and opinion that each individual had. I was baptized, and believed. But thinking it was my own thoughts, I grew up learning that it truely was not. What I believed was a mere replica of my parents.
I either argue or cry EVERY time my parents and I talk about religion. There is no safe ground in that battle. By the time I hit 12, I knew there was something wrong, something blocking me from the truth. I am "required" to go to seminary, and young women's, and church.
Um, excuse me world, but did you know that children have freedom of religion?
Some lessons I think are reasonable, just by common sense. But I doubt almost everything else. All I believe currently is in God and Jesus Christ and all of the reasonable common sense stuff.
J.K. and I decided on creating this blog so people out there could here opinions, not the so called 'facts' ... because as I researched, children and teens didn't have a lot of say in their religion. It was mainly directed by the adults.
Off to the side, ALWAYS HELP YOUR FRIENDS, whenever they may need you! Because they might destroy themselves. Mentally and/or physically.
This week I was lucky enough to have my best friend their as I was balling my eyes out. And trust me, I don't cry! But your friends may be the difference between the hospital, your bed, or grave.
It sounds rough, and it is, but that's the world we live in, YOU are worth more than this!
I LOVE YOU ALL!! <3 even if I don't know you.
