Carneneshow oof

[@something3476]

Carneneshow haha I don’t think so. Some people in my class act cool and think they’re badass. You think that will get them anywhere?!?! I’ve even overheard some of the popular kids saying “Ima dropout when I get the chance.” They are literally planning to fail. And yes they are popular many people talk to them.

[@andrmand7906]

No they dont fail, in my class are people whose notes are better then the other 10 th grades but they always like look at each other. And i have a friend who sits next to me in English, shes English isnt that good as mine and another girls comes to me and she like “Why dont you show your exam to her that she can write that stuff in hers” and im like “if she wanted to she could have look but she should study that stuff and not copy it from me!” and she said “okay selin 👌🏻” pretending everthing is fine. I really want to say “b*tch” but i dont swear all the time like her. Haha and she pretends she şs a kind and good girl.

Bullying makes you grow up fast.

[@defnotnaruto222]

The thing is, mostly, everyone in high school is mature. Some just act like kids because they want to. They're aging, growing up, becoming an adult. They don't want to. They don't want to feel the responsibilities of life crushing them down moment by moment. I'm a high school student myself, and countless people have told me this. It's not about being mature at this point. It's about having as much fun as you can before you are forced to become just another boring, sterotypical adult. I wish some were mature, but I understand why they aren't, and I feel like other people need to understand it too.

[@mr.danielsclassroom7835]

This sweet girl, Olivia, speaks so much truth. I showed this video to my 7th graders this week. Numerous girls cried as they watched, but I could see the boys wondering if they were the same: not good enough. A message to all the middle schoolers out there ... YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH! Thanks so much, Olivia. You inspire me.

Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do so❤ Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe. People: okay please stay this is your place❤ Demon: okay People: **leaves** Demon: **Goes with them anyway** Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah. Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains here❤❤ Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demons❤ Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to God❤ Depression can be a demon you may need deliverance❤ God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy ❤ To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit. KZbinrs I recommend Impact videos ministries David diga Hernandez IsaiahSaldivar Mapalo DLM christian lifestyle Billy garham Danial adams Living waters Okay now pray this to be saved and to get to heaven pray out loud Jesus I confess that you are my lord and savior I believe in my heart that God raised you from the dead I ask to receive your holy spirit and I repent of my sins with your help❤ by faith in your word I receive salvation now Thank you for saving me! I am now reborn a christian a child of almighty God I am saved thank you Jesus! *Be genuine when praying this* Watch videos on how to receive Gods holy spirit on YT God creates Jesus redeems The holy spirit changes Now our good deeds and works we think are good are like filthy rags in the eyes of God Things to get rid of in your home 1sage 2dream catchers 3crystals 4crystal ball 5ouija board 6 tarot and angel cards 7religious statues 8demonic movies music or video games 9soul times items 10pornography Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to. Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't 150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of God❤ Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already know❤ Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve You serve the devil when you Lie Hate Blasphemy Disobey Lazy Gossip Gluttony Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house Hate And unforgivness And cussing murder and more And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven So who's lying you or God? Be serious about this❤ God is holy and righteous God is love So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gate❤ You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre going❤ Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN! Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior! God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faith❤ Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your life❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@name5876]

It's not always an option to not care about what others think about you because many don't stop at thoughts and cause you very real harms, not just words. Especially when they realise you don't care about them, they do everything to catch your attention and hurt you. They are probably socio- or psychopaths I guess, certainly not humans, but there are so many of them it's baffling.

To write such a poem, reveals a great gift. To memorize a poem that long, reveals a sharp mind. To express it with such feeling reveals a passionate heart. To make others feel it too, reveals a true poet!

[@nissutobor9078]

Agree, but the memorizing bit... It's kindof like performing a song that you've composed. You know it well enough that you can improvise off the base, and the end product is more or less the same, because the expression is your own. That is to say, its not like regurgitating a chapter from a text book. Not to say it's not impressive, because she's awesome. The process is just much more intimate than raw memorization, as its a part of the whole.

No, it's the 'disgusting' 'popular' people who look down and say that "You have to be like me or you'll always fail, And you will never be like me because you'll always fail." Honestly, I feel like those dislikes are from people who are cold-hearted that don't ever care.

Soon or later, society will do that. That's what they did to me. All what I ever wanted was ppl to love each other and themselves. I had hope and I gave it to strangers , and I believed I could change the world to make it a better place for us to live. But I was wrong, society wants ppl to be bad.

San Zr it’s so sad but I am now thinking the exact same thing. When I was younger my only wish for the world was world peace and happiness for everyone, now as a almost teen I know that society wants u to fail, they want u to feel bad about urself so they feel good about them. All society is is a huge race to the top and they will pull ur hair to get ahead the will trip u up and they will knock u down but sometimes u don’t even want to get back up because u KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, u know it’s only a matter of time until the next person breaks ur heart u know ur spiral down to the starting line is just around that corner and u know that it’s not even going to make a difference because no one will even notice but if u tell them the laugh they make life torture and they will make it worse. No one can win in this world, no one can touch that finish line and taste victory. No one ever has and they never will
