Forever Young

I remember back in sixth grade, I was made fun of alot. There was this boy, his name was Spencer. He always knew how to cheer me up. Sixth grade was a tough time for alot of people. It was the big transititon from when everyone was friends, to everyone needs their place. I had a hard time though it, and I had learned other people did too, like Spencer.
I had not talked to Spencer since sixth grade, only today I found out he had committed suicide. I am not sure why exactly because as a teen you never can really believe what you hear from others. Only I know, that alot of things must have to lead to wanting to take your own life away.
This is why it is so important to be kind to others. There are so many teenage suicides every year that's its terrible. Its so sad that a life is gone over a temporary problem. I know that Spencer will be missed. His death has affected so many people in my community already and I'm hoping it opens peoples eyes.
Even the smallest comments and actions can effect people so much. You never know what a persons going though, and some times all they need is one person to say its going to be okay.
This society is so hard on teenagers that its terrible. We are told to be a certain way, look a certain way, and fit in a certain way. We see and read things we shouldn't all the time because of television and the people out there. We are pushed down so we take advantage of our lives. We have great opportunity's out there, but we get shot down by others saying were not good enough. We need of have people support us, and for some people the love is shown too late in cases.
I will miss that boy from the sixth grade. His future could have been so bright, but it ended too soon to know.
Its sad. Its so preventable... but yet we don't see the signs and try to stop it...
R.I.P. Spencer Melvin, you will be missed.

Kindness

I had two choir concerts tonight, and as I was leaving I realized how kind people can just be.
I was going out to my fathers car with my bag of clothes, shoe box, phone, no coat, and wearing a strapless dress and heel. It also was raining and very windy and cold.
This grandfather held the door open. Then he also opened his umbrella and asked me where I was going because he would take me there. Once I got to the car, he opened the door for me and told me to have a good night.
I thank that old man; he made my night.
Love, Madi

Homecoming Dance

I went to homecoming!!! Look up there... its me!! I felt like Cinderella... minus the charming prince. I had a very nice friend accompany me though.
I loved the feeling of getting dolled up. First things first, I missed bowling to get ready for the dance. I woke up and got my toes done. They are still a nice silver shade. I then proceeded to do my own finger nails a nice baby pink shade with a sparkle coat all over. I then enjoying getting my hair done. Denise did a fabulous job.
The dress is my favorite thing. It was puffy and sparkled... it was like a mini Cinderella... and you know I love Cinderella. The only bad thing was my mother could not lace it, because it was a corset in the back. We had to drive to the football field where my brother was playing and have my father do it. Hes kinda wonderful at those types of things.
I then enjoyed going to the dance with my pals. If you can find my tumblr... hehe... then you can know how that all went.
We went to eat for pizza. This is because, some child didn't check to see if we could eat at TGI Fridays before we drove there.... we were not allowed in for being under 21. So after eating we went bowling.
I had a fun time. I creeped on some hot freshman boys, said I like your dress 10 thousand times... but it was the truth, and then proceed to crash at Anna's house.
I wish I would have gone to dances last year. I defiantly will from now on if I have a date.... hot freshman perhaps? Hit me up!
Love, Cinderella :)
