What Do Children Think of Domestic Violence?


Recently I came across a video on Facebook and I felt the need to share it with the rest of my Facebook friends. One particular line stood out to me after the video was over "Girls shouldn't be hit, not even with a flower"

The fact that each of these six boys were able to refrain from hitting her, even though they all had different reasons why they refused, i think that it was great to see that children are still being raised to do what is right. With stable homes and good influences around them. 

Although some may argue that when put a bad situation and when anger is involved sometimes things  are done without much thought. What I say to that is, it is better to walk away than to react in anger, acts done in anger will often turn into regret later.

SideNote:

The type of behavior we exhibit in front of children is important. It is scientifically proven that if a child grows up in a home with domestic violence, they are very likely to find themself in the same predicament becoming either the agressor or the victim. The cycle is ongoing.

I honestly can not wait to become a teacher, children can teach you humility everyday just by knowing and practicing what is morally right without much thought. If you notice, it didn't take very long for some to give a face of confusion when they were told to slap her. To them, It just didn't seem right.

Check out the video below !






By recycling this video I just want to share the obvious message that it is important to share with our youth that violence is never the answer, unless in life-threatening self-defense. Since we're on the topic of violence and children I wanted to redirect to the topic of bullying. Bullying is a world-wide issue in schools and has been for many years. Many students are committing suicide because they become victims of Bullying, it must STOP! 

When I was in Middle School, I myself was bullied. Last semester I created an informational website for one of my classes where I chose to focus on Bullying. On the site I introduce different forms of Bullying, programs, intervention methods, and my personal story. My hopes in creating this website and making it public was that I would be able to help someone by having them see and understand that they are truly not alone in this world and that there are people who care about them. EVERY LIFE MATTERS.

Poetry: Fatherless Child



Could it be that I substitute lustful infatuation for love? or mistake an act of kindness for trust?
Using his words to define me, i mean refine me, leaving the real me in the dust
Can you really blame me for being attracted to someone who shows interest in my existence
Someone who is persistent, consistent and whose smile breaks my resistance
It's a real feeling I get of satisfaction through common conversation of nothingness
The willingness to waste time with me means something to me if not everything for me because time can not be given back
Sorry your interest in my existence was nonexistent, guess in the 90's being a father was wack.

Respect from hoes was worth more than respect from your daughter
If it was up to you, if you were her, you would have probably said "abort her"
You knew I was a girl and that I'd be your first daughter but that wasn't enough for you
You had 9 months which turned into 1 plus twenty now you're begging for my heart to attend to it's broken it needs amends too, a man too?

So I'm looking at guy after guy to cut into some deep hurting pain from my past
Not realizing that they can't give me what I'm missing cause I can't miss what I never had 
I asked God for a brother but I never got em
When I was 8 I wanted to meet my Father but I never saw em
After that, just like everything you cant change in life, you learn to accept
Accept and move on not accept and dwell in it

Yet I found myself looking for what I lacked in a male figure in a young boy
I didn't know it yet but my innocence he would destroy
How can you be sure about love and if you're in it, if there is no demonstration clearly displayed to see
How can i be sure that he loves me for me, not what i give or what i can be but everything that I am if I haven't truly accepted me for me
I long to feel love from a man who created me with his sperm
Not physical love from a boy with a toy in it sperm, I'm talking something long term
Deeply invested in things that cannot be returned or given back
Like time, memories, laughs, tears, words, or the lack...thereof

The HOLIDAY Tag!







Hi Everybody, It's ME ! I know long time no see, no hear but it was the longest semester of my college career thus far so I needed some time to breath. But finals are over so now I am able to rest a LITTLE more. I say a LITTLE because the reality is, when you get older there is always something to get done. To the point where when you're doing absolutely nothing it's a blessing.

Anyway, I just wanted to bring you something small and sweet for the holidays so I decided to do a Christmas Tag! Christmas is my absolute favorite holiday :) filled with snow, family, warmth, food, and fun. 

Let's get started ... ho ho ho!

  1. What is your favorite Christmas movie?
My favorite Christmas movies are Home Alone 1 and 2. These movies are as about as old as I am and still get played religiously on TV today. They're great classics! I remember watching them as a kid wondering how "Kevin" was able to successfully make those booby traps, I tried to create a trap once... but then I realized Science wasn't my thing. There are a lot of chain reactions involved.


  1. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
    Could you imagine being 6 years old walking passed the tree everyday knowing it's Christmas only to hear that you can't open your gifts until everyone is home? (Which was always night time) At the time it was torture!

But now, I open them within the week of Christmas. I have no real anticipation anymore, because most of the time I receive monetary gifts.

  1. Do you have a favorite Christmas memory?
At about 10 or so and I played one of the sheep in the church Christmas play. And we had to crawl around on the stage saying baaa baaa for what seemed hours. It was the worst role I was ever assigned.













4. Favorite Festive food?


Sorrel ? Which is not a food but a Jamaican drink that it is made at Christmas time. it's made with ginger, rum, cinnamon, sorrel plant, etc.











  1. Favorite Christmas gift ?
My mom always gives me the best Christmas gifts, because it's always exactly what I ask for. And last year when my boyfriend surprised me with a laptop. Or the year I got two Easy Bake ovens for Christmas or The barbie dolls whose hair changed colors with a cool blow dryer.






  1. Favorite Christmas scent?


Apple Cinnamon and Pumpkin Spice, yum ! It certainly depends on the brand though because not all candles smell equally as good.








  1.  Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?




No but I can start one.















  1. What tops your tree?
If I had a tree, a star.
















  1. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
A pet ... now for some "a pet" may not fit any of those adjectives described but for my family it applies. I asked for a fish, the most simple pet there is and my mother refused. Then I asked for a dog, I was way out of my league asking for that one though. I was better off begging for the fish. Of which both I still don't have.









  1. What’s the best part about Christmas for you?
Being able to be around loved ones and giving everyone a gift and watching them smile. I love how I feel inside when I give to others, it's an unexplainable warm feeling.

Allow Me To Re-Introduce Myself

It's Dyme here!



Just to give you the basics on who I am; a 21 year old college student who enjoys writing, being natural, and living life largely.

The New Year is quickly approaching and it's time for the New Year, New Me cliche' bull, the one week New Year resolutions and hope with no intention of physical action.

In honor of this amazing time, I decided to start a new blog! But if I had to be completely honest with you; I thought I was cute and decided to personalize my old blog page like I used to with MySpace. Back in the day HTML codes were my thing. I knew how to delete the copyright stamp, and add a whole bunch of clutter to create what I thought was a unique masterpiece. 

Recently I wanted to add a blogpost and the alignment was all off due to the customized boxes. So I proceeded to delete the HTML code only to realize that it could not be found. I got so fed up with trying to find it I decided to start a new blog. In the process of searching I also deleted one of my post. I am currently beyond disappointed.

ANYWAY

  I have been blogging since July 2013 and I love it. If you're interested in reading my old posts feel free to check my old blog at www.fulfillingdreams007.blogspot.com. There is where you will experience who I am personally, politically; collectivity.
