Youths Make a Split Decision

"I'd never seen it before," replied the younger of the two, in response to his choice of watching Kung Fu Panda. The other stated that Kung Fu Panda is a good movie, but, "The Incredibles is just better."
The elder of the two ran upstairs when he decided that he wanted to watch The Incredibles, and changed it to Kung Fu Panda during commercials, careful to not miss any of his choice movie.

He also decided to try to count the deaths to challenge the site that records deaths in movies, moviebodycounts.com, but did a poor job and can't say whether or not the site is accurate. He can testify, however, that  the number of deaths by cape, 6, counting Syndrome, is accurate. The site claims the number of deaths in the movie is 16.

Breaking News: Impossible Decision Faces Youths

Currently, two youths, full of thanksgiving dinner, face an impossible choice.

On FX, Kung Fu Panda is showing. On Disney channel, at the same time, The Incredibles is on.  Both are just beginning, and both are considered fantastic films by both youths.

More on the struggle as the story develops.

Students laugh at teacher's guarantee

On Monday, a Spanish teacher adamantly insisted that there would be school Tuesday, despite the snow that had begun to fall. "I guarantee that you will probably have school tomorrow," stated the teacher in front of her class. Her students began laughing that very night.

The school district declared a two hour delay that night for the next day, and later changed it to snow day. Wednesday has also been named a snow day.

A student of the teacher, when asked what he thought about the teacher's guarantee, said "I don't know; I think she was wrong."

Students will be enjoying this time off, laughing at the incessant stubborn claims of their teacher.

Fight Breaks out at Local Church

Two students of the Wired Youth ministry got into a physical fight after youth service tonight.

The two students are both members of the youth leadership program, and have been long time friends.

“It doesn’t make sense,” remarked one student, “they goof off together all the time.”

 According to witnesses, the fight broke out because of the two being at each other’s throats for the last week. It got physical when one punched the other in the face and then began to run away. He tripped over a chair, and then the other jumped on him swinging.

The man who broke up the fight commented that he thought they were just messing around, because the one who started it was laughing and smiling the whole time.

The fight was quickly suppressed, and the two were “taken care of,” by the youth pastor.

Local Youth Wears Cardigan;

discovers they are "comfy."

A local teenager was seen at McDonald's wearing a cardigan and drinking a Coke. "They are very comfy," he said, "I just like wearing it."

The cardigan doesn't belong to him, he borrowed it from his best friend, who was seen wearing the youth's "Goreship" hooded sweater.

The youth said that he plans to wear the sweater tomorrow at his school.

Casey D said

"Boooooooo."

I Heart the "I Heart Boobies" Campaign

Clearly, these cause so much disruption, you
probably won't even be able to read the blog.

                                            
"I think that anything that raises awareness is good."

My school banned these bracelets. At first, I really could not care less. It didn't matter to me; I didn't wear them. I had thought they were a little dirty, kind of offensive, but it didn't bother me if people wore them.

Thanks school. Now I realize, these bracelets are not offensive or vulgar. They are juvenile. Childish. But offensive? It says much about the maturity of our high school that we can't wear something that says "boobies" lest it should impede the educational process. I mean, come on. This is high school. I think we can handle it.

Besides, what is our greatest fear? That maybe some horny teenage boys are wearing them trying to be irreverent and/or funny? Why not take that opportunity to educate them about the statement everyone else sees them making? Isn't that purpose of these bracelets? To raise awareness?

I've heard people complain that the slogan is objectifying women, reducing them down from humans to a body part. Come on. The intent is to save lives through education about prevention and early detection. It is about lives, not boobs.

I polled 8 teachers at my school- and intend to ask more- to see if they thought allowing the bracelets in school would create a disruption to their classrooms. 6 definitively said "no." One of them even admitted that the school's policy requiring them to confiscate the bracelets has created a disturbance, saying that the only time she has had a distraction because of the bracelets she was either taking one away, or once, a student shouted at another who was wearing one, "Oooooh, you aren't supposed to have those at schoooooool!" Let me make my point clear. The problem is the policy.

I think the slogan is very effective at reaching their target audience, the next generation. A mentor of mine told me that if you already have adults down for your cause, and want to get kids in on it too, sometimes, you have to do that with something that maybe the adults don't like as much.

That's exactly what the Keep A Breast foundation is doing.
