Bulluing

In the past year, it seems that bullying has become the new "epidemic!" every other newcast is about the kids of America being a victim of bullying. Some say bullying was always around, but technology makes it easier to bully. This I believe to be true. Although I was never really a victim of bullying, I understand what it is like to be somewhat of an outcast; which most that are bullied are! Cases from florida to new york and even the west coast have shown that it is indeed a problem. Kids arent just name calling anymore, they are getting fierce and physical! Most kids that are bullied are not in the so called popular crowd, or the cool kids, they are normally kids with a special gift or kids that have fallen from the so called cool crowd. Whatever the case may be, its wrong that they are the victims of the viral bullys. In more recent cases kids are starting to commit suicide or are being killed by the bullys; in less serious cases, kids have to switch schools and start all over, which is another headache all together! The notion that its just words when kids are being bullied is myht because nowadays they get very physical. the case from june in florida was one about a boy who came out as being gay at the age of 13,and was lateset on fire by his class mates that called him names like queer and faggot! These are all things that call for more regulation from the teachers and the parents. On a Oprah special, it was called the civil Rights movement of this generation. This is one of the generations that have more problems thatn any other in my eyes and bullying is just one on the long list of them!!

Music that Im not particular about!

Before Taylor Swift I may have said that I like all music except country and heavy metal. Well nowadays it seems like all genres are crossing and collaborating making it impossible not to listen to certain genres that were once easily avoidable. Well last year my favorite music artist Kanye West, interrupted a new contemporary artist, Taylor Swift on stage while accepting her award. Well opened my eyes and I decided to research this Swift lady that caused all of this bad media for Mr.West! Before I knew it I was listening to the country sweetheart left and right. I even realized a song that I previously had stuck in my head was her singing it and the whole time I thought it was Carrie Underwood. The world of country music isnt much different from the genres I love most (r&b an hip-hop). The main thing that musicians talk about in hiphop and r&b music is love and the life they lived before making it the the music industry aka the "struggle". In country music they talk about the same thing; artists in r&b and hiphop discuss the "hood" and selling drugs and country artists take about the trailer park, their pets and drug addictions. The similarities are endless but the main points stand out well. Since finding a new love for country I ve listened to artist such as Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts. I continue to listen to country and now have a more open mind to different genres; except metal!
