We talked about student and teacher relationships this week in class and the rules that apply between the two.  What should be allowed between a student and teacher and how should we handle situations that are not appropriate.  

When I was in the 6th grade, I had a science teacher who would say inappropriate jokes to girls all the time.  We were so young that we had no idea what the jokes meant and as I got older I realized what he had been saying and it was obviously too late to do something about it.

I want girls and boys to know what to do in a situation like this and be able to handle it rather than let it sit.  Parents also need to be aware this and make sure their kids understand the difference.     

There are some disturbing people out in the world and we need to be understanding of how to go about the right way to stop the teachers from acting badly towards the students as well as the students saying inappropriate things to their teachers.

Appropriate 

Inappropriate 

These are two examples of how the student relationship is appropriate and inappropriate.

What are your thoughts, if they are different, on this subject.

Why Can't We All Just Get Along?

Why can't we all just get along? Because we are all different and the movie "Why Did I Get Married" showed just how different couples can be and how they have their problems just like we do in our everyday lives. I felt that the lack of communication in the couples was the main reason each spouse knew nothing of the other! Several couples mentioned that they had no idea how the other one felt and so on and so on...

Marcus and Angela were the most dysfunctional relationship maybe in the world and could not trust each other if their lives depended on it. Gavin and Patty keep their feelings bottled so nobody ever knew what was going on and always thought they were happy. Sheila and Mike were terrible because of the way Mike talked to her and the rude things he would say about her weight. That couple made me want to cry during the movie! Last, Terry and his wife were the perfect couple with a small twist that turned their marriage into a jealousy issue which lead to Terry moving out!

I hope when I'm in my 40's I am not sitting around with my husband and wondering why I got married. But hey, it's a good question!

Here is a picture of the movie!

So this week we talked about different genders and how they are "suppose" to behave. We discussed so many different situations and I laughed, cried, threw up, and had so many emotions I didn't even know how to feel about half the conversations with all the gay/straight brothers, girls acting like boys, boys acting like girls, parents allowing their kids to play the opposite gender roles and more. I think we all need to take a lesson out of the talk the other day and stay clear of allowing our children to grow up and be the opposite of what they were born. I am a strong believer in God choosing who we are and us not changing that. It states in the Bible that God is against this and if he wanted us to be the opposite gender, then that is what we would have come out into the world as.

Some of you might have seen this on TV. My roommates and I were flipping around on TV the other day and came across this show. It is about men who have become women and go to whomever writes in that needs help with looking beautiful. These men go around in an ambulance and tell women how beautiful they are and they "transform" them. It was a little disturbing and weird, but maybe I was being too critical.

What are your thoughts on this subject? Let me know ;)
