Glee Takes On Bullying

Bullying has become a lot worse over the years. Bullying is not just people picking on you in school anymore, its adults grandparents and even preschoolers.

You hear more about in the news than you probably see around you. It’s become so severe that innocent people have started to take their own life and that should never happen. Stand up to bullying!

As a teenager I was bullied constantly, over having glasses, being poor, boys liking me, and even dating a girl. Yes that was part of the whole high school experience. I remember always coming home crying, but I think it made me a stronger person today. I have become more blunt and I always stick up for myself.

One of the shows I love is Glee, and Glee has tackled the issue of bullying and other issues we face in our society.

Kurt (Chris Colfer) is a main target for bullying on glee because of his sexual orientation.

Effects of Alcohol, Glee has shown different types of drunks, Santana is a weepy drunk, Mercedes and Tina are hysterical drunks who find everything funny. Rachel and Blaine share a dunken kiss, yet Finn never has a drop of alcohol showing that teens can have a good time.

OCD-Emma Pilsbury OCD condition has her cleaning her desk constantly, and turning rigid at the thought of anything being messy.OCD is not talked about a lot on the show.

Physical Appearances and Plastic surgery Rachel gets a broken nose after Finn hits her in the face and she considers plastic surgery, but decides against it. Quinn who has had plastic surgery loves it and doesn’t regret a thing. It’s rare for a TV show to depict a story of someone who’s life has changed for the better by surgery, It shows that plastic surgery can benefit some but can also go horribly wrong.

It’s amazing how many celebrities have come out after watching glee episodes and told the world about their bullying story or flaws they have.

What Hurricane Irene was like

I survived my first Hurricane! Yes I was crazy enough to stand out in the middle and do a video. It was crazy ant first but seemed to die down, then pick back up. We were without power for 36 hours and without cable/internet/phone for almost 80 hours. Cleanup has been a challenge there are a lot of uprooted or split trees. I made several videos but most of them were after the Hurricane.

Back To School with Scunci Bendini and Softlips Giveaway Closed

School is right around the corner and having two girls, I want them to look there best.   Which for my oldest means having her hair up or styled, She likes to twirl her hair until it knots.

I was recently introduced to Scunci Bendini, and I though it was a great way to add a little sparkle and flair to any little girls back to school list.

all you need t do is slide and snap, it’s that simple with Bendini. My kids enjoyed these and I have to say they were so adorable, you can bet I will be doing their hair like this very often.  I was surprised at how well it actually holds hair, my kids always go play outside and comeback with chunks of hair out of there ponytails. With the Bendini there was some hair that fell out but not as much as usual.

My other daughter with a different style of Bendini

You can find the Bendini at retailers nationwide for around $4.99

They won’t leave me alone

About a week ago I wrote about slugs. I walked outside in the dark and were stepping on them. They were everywhere.

Well a few days later I go to Grill dinner and got a big surprise. They just won’t leave me alone, It’s so gross.

They are so big and ugly, I hate them.  After you scrap them off they leave a bugery substance on the grill.

 

BLAH, BLEACH
