DO I LOOK TO FATT?


..EATING DISORDERS TODAY..






Our society's preoccupation with body image has become a growing problem, 70% of women and 35% of men are dieting. A 1993 Statistics Canada Survey reported that women between the ages of 15-25, 1-2% suffer from anorexia and 3-5% have bulimia. Eating disorders have the HIGHEST mortality rate of all mental illnesses, with 10% to 20% eventually dying from the complications.






There are many diffrent types of eating disorders such as






*Anorexia Nervosa



*Bulimia Nervosa



*Binge eating



*Anorexia Athletica



*Orthorexia



*Night eating



...and the list goes on...









Sometimes its hard to detect an eating disorder but here are some of the symptoms to look out for.




*low self-esteem
*social withdrawal
*claims of feeling fat when weight is normal or low
*preoccupation with food, weight, counting calories and with what people think
*denial that there is a problem

YOUTH GUN VIOLENCE...STOPPPP

YOUTH GUN VIOLENCE IN OUR STREETS


Do you think 2-5 years behind bars is fair for a murderer is fair? Do you think justice is being served? This is the maximum penalty for Toronto’s teens who are offenders of gun violence; because they are under the age of 18 they are charged as youths regardless of the crime. I think it’s safe to say that no justice is not being served, and it definitely isn’t fair. That’s why Toronto, as a community needs to work together and help stop youth gun violence.

The government has tried everything from opening community centers to enforcing more law around these areas, but the thing that really needs to be fixed and worked on is the YCJA (Youth Criminal Justice Act). This is all part of the reason why the youth gun violence rate is so high. Nothing happens to these offenders and they are definitely not being penalized for the seriousness of there actions. We are allowing teens to kill and get away with it, and they know this. A murderer is a murderer, regardless of there age. If you are old enough to pick up a gun and point it at someone, knowing you could possibly take a life, you are old enough to suffer your consequences.

The government can’t do this alone, If we work together as a community, as a family, we can make sure these teens are penalized for there crimes and justice can finally be served. Think about the families who have lost a loved one to a teenager’s immaturity, and how today that teen is walking freely. Let’s give those families that closure. Together we can make a difference.

March 12th, 2009 was the best day of my life! I was on my way to the Dominican Republic with my school to live the life of an underprivileged teen for a week. It took about 4 hours of anxiousness and excitement to get there. But when we arrived it was better then anything I’ve ever seen.






The first thing we did when we got there was meet our families. These would be the families we would stay with for the week. We ate, slept and bathed here. Everything was a lot to get used to…I mean using a bucket to shower and having to sleep in a net (the bugs were bad) was a bit different then what I’m used to. My family was very welcoming. I felt right at home within minutes.





It wasn’t all fun and sun. The 3rd day we arrived, we went to the orphanage and were all given tasks. Mine was to do the weeding and fix up the garden. It was hard work but the feeling I felt when I was finished was a feeling like none other. I felt like I left my mark there.







After finishing up the outside of the orphanage, we went in for a couple hours to play with the kids. This was probably one of the hardest parts of this trip. They were so happy that we got to spend time with them and play. It was hard leaving but I new I made a difference.




When I got home I got some time to get to know my family better. We jumped rope, kicked around a ball, played tag and danced. It was so much fun.




I also helped my brother yonathan read and speak French. By the last day he was speaking sentences. He even wrote me a note!






The next day we headed out to see the “batin” there communities that live in a sugar cane field. This was heart breaking. We met a man, who lived off of only sugar cane juice; it was sad because one of my classmates did the trip the previous year and said she remembered that man. It was sad to see he was still stuck in the same situation.





It was incredible to see how happy the children were. I mean look at what they lived in, they had no
food to eat and barely shelter. This made me realize the meaning of life and value, and how lucky I really was.




Before I new it, it was done. My experience was done! But the memories and lessons I learned would forever stick with me. This was the hardest thing I think I ever had to do. Let go of the people who took me into there home and made me feel as I was there own. I had a long ride ahead of me, and a lot to think about! This, was my Dominican Experience.

CELEBRITIES AND RELIGION

As you know, religion is very important to some. I found the Two most popular ones in the celebrity world. Read carefully and enjoy!





1) SCIENTOLOGY

Scientology is a body of beliefs and practices created by L. Ron Hubbard (1911–1986), starting in 1952, as a successor to his earlier self-help system, Dianetics. Hubbard characterized Scientology as a religion and in 1953 incorporated the Church of Scientology in New Jersey.

Scientology teaches that people are immortal spiritual beings who have forgotten their true nature. Its method of spiritual rehabilitation is a type of counseling known as auditing, in which practitioners aim to consciously re-experience painful or traumatic events in their past in order to free themselves of their limiting effects.Study materials and auditing courses are made available to members in return for specified donations.Scientology is legally recognized as a tax-exempt religion in the United States and some other countries, and the Church of Scientology emphasizes this as proof that it is a bona fide religion.

*John Travolta

*Tom Cruise

*Kristie Alley







2)ILLUMINATI

Illuminati (plural of Latin illuminatus, "enlightened") is a name that refers to several groups, both historical and modern, and both real and fictitious. Historically, it refers specifically to the Bavarian Illuminati, an Enlightenment-era secret societyfounded on May 1, 1776. In modern times it is also used to refer to a purported conspiratorial organization which acts as a shadowy "power behind the throne", allegedly controlling world affairs through present day governments and corporations, usually as a modern incarnation or continuation of the Bavarian Illuminati. In this context, Illuminati is often used in reference to a New World Order (NWO). Many conspiracy theorists believe the Illuminati are the masterminds behind events that will lead to the establishment of such a New World Order

HE LIKES HER AND HE LIKED HER TOO...NOW LOOK




Well it’s pretty self explanatory!

He liked her and he liked her too, and he liked her and she liked him to....
Well look where that got him! He now has FOUR children!! He was expecting not one but TWO baby’s from not one but TWO different mothers. For singer Nivea this is her fourth also (there first), and for Ms. Lauren London this is all new. They delivered at around the same time. (I wonder what they had to say to each other when they found this out) I think its safe to say Mr. Carter made his rounds.

Oldest Daughter named Reginae ( she's 11 ) was born November 30, 1998*** from Ex Wife Antonia "Toya" Carter
Second Child Dwayne Carter III was born October 22, 2008
Third Child Lennox Samuel Ari From Lauren London born on September 9, 2009
Fourth Child Neal Carter From Singer Nivea born on November 30, 2009
