EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN STORY

Today I read about a young girl and her childhood. When I think about my childhood I thank my parents for everything because I couldn't have had anything better or greater. In this story she talks about what happened in her past and what happened in her future. I really liked this story because from a girl who was poor, molested, and not so popular really grew up to become a very happy and successful person.

She was poor, molested at the age of five and not popular in school. I think that I can kind of relate to this story but in a different way. I was in a stage where me and my family didn't really have much money. I never got molested and I never really cared whether I was popular or not. So yeah that is way different. Everyone has their own story but I feel in some way their all the same. We all go through our problems and some of us solve them and some of us don't. I guess that's how life is. But in my opinion it's the decisions you make to get where you are. But I guess in some cases people don't really get to make a decision. There are many problems in the world that are are the most worst. Like abuse, alcohol and drug addiction, abortions, domestic violence, etc. I've researched on child abuse and my research says that nearly 3 million of children are reported to being abused every year. Reports say that "The Child Welfare League of America is the nation's oldest and largest membership-based child welfare organization and was founded in Washington DC in the year 1998. On the 27 th of April, has been launched the Children Memorial Flag Campaign to let know publicly that nearly 3 million children are reported to be abused and neglected every year. The Children Memorial Flag has been designed by a 16 y.o. Californian youth and shows five doll-like figures of children standing side-by-side, holding hands against a red backcloth. A sixth child, in the center, is represented by a thin, white chalk outline, symbolizing a child lost to violence. The “lost-child”! April has been recognised as the Child Abuse Prevention Month. All I can to this is WOW! I never knew that at least a million or more children are abused every year. I can't believe that it would happen to children at all. It makes me feel so sad and worried for the children in this world. I never seen one child in my life get abused. No child should get beat because they are only children. Who would want to hurt someone so little, cute, and young? I don't know why people do that but to all those abusers out there I hope that God will have mercy on your soul because no way will you go to heaven for being a beater. No child or anyone should be beat for nothing. I cannot understand why people do such harsh things. But I pray to God that he will help them.

This story made me think about more problems that are happening in our world. So many things are happening and sometimes it's to late to help. I wish that I could be there for those who are being beat physically and emotionally. All I can do is pray and hope that people will soon realize that abuse, abortion, alcohol, drugs, etc is not the answer. I can say that if we do those things we won't get anywhere. In this story this young girl goes through a lot but she got through it all. She came out to be a girl who was involved in so many positive things and used her childhood as a motivation to succeed in life. This story interested me because it came from someone was a lost girl and is now a happy, positive successful girl. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is a strong and true motto. Everyone has their own story, I have mines and you have yours.
