Can people become different then how their parents raised them?

I think that parents raise their kids on how they want to and they expect them to be that way. But I think that kids have their own minds and they can change how they act. Some kids do everything thing their parents tell them to and when they have kids they raise their kids like their parents raised them. Then there are some kids that aren’t like their parents and they do the opposite of how their parents raised them. Kids have their own mind and the older they get the more independent they come.

Parents never raise their kids to do drugs but their kids still do them. Parents do raise their kids to disrespectful their kids just to start to be that way. Kids have their own minds and they older they get the more things they learn. Some parents raise their kids to always do their best, never do drugs, and to be respectful. Then sometimes their kids either start hanging out with kids who have parents who don’t care and let their kids do whatever and the kid picks up on others behaviors. It sometimes doesn’t matter how the parents raise their kids they can always change.

My parents have always been over protective. They were raised to be respectful. My mom over worries all the time, she never did drugs and never really told about real live. An as I grow up I learned new things and met new people. I started to acted way different then my parents raised me. I started to do things they would never have done. My point is that my parents raised the way they wanted me to be but I didn’t turn out how they wanted. I learned things and started to act how I wanted. Kids can be so much different then how their parents raised them. Kids can be how they want to be.

Immigration Letter

Dear, Family
I now got a job in the sewing factory. They have now let me work the sewing machines. I’m getting paid about $4.25. I don’t really like the work. They work us to hard and I have seen them cheat some people out of their pay. Working there is very tiring. I have moved into a small apartment. There are a lot of people living here with me. They have 10 kids! An in the day time we have others that come and sleep. They have treated me well. Since I have moved here I have see so many new things. There are more people on one street then our whole town! It’s so easy to get lost just walking down the street. There are so many news things here. They have buildings that are more than one story high. Some buildings have these things called fire escape so if you live in a top story and there’s a fire then they can get out. I really like how New York is so exciting. When just walking down the street there’s is so much excitement. What I really don’t like is that they treat girls different. Man thinks that they are so much better then us. They don’t listen to us when we speak. They think that were not smart enough to do things like go to school. Even the rich girls got this thing were they agree with the man! I have planed to go to school after I make enough money. I well keep sending you money. I wish you all could be here with me. I well write you the next time I send you money. Take care of the kids an use all the money I send. I love you all!

Scared of the dark

Why do people get scared at night? I think people get scared at night because it’s something to do with the way they think. Your brain makes things up and then you get scared and start to trip yourself out. When your walk around alone at night you get scared because you start hearing every little noise and everything that moves makes you jump. It’s because people let them self’s think this way. They let these things trip them out. They let them self’s think about something bad happening.

For example I was so scared to go out in the night by myself. It was mainly because my mom always would tell me things that bad things would happen to people after dark. I was so scared to even go in my back yard at night because I would let my mind think about everything that was bad would happen. Ever time I would go outside I would think that every noise was someone or something so I would get so scared so I would always ran home. Now when i'm outside in the dark I don’t let myself think about stuff like that. I try to keep myself from getting scared by thinking good things hadn’t make me scared.

What does it mean to be alive?

What does being alive mean to you? To me it is being able to feel. Letting yourself realize your feelings and letting yourself feel them. Being alive is acting like tomorrow is your last day and remembering everything you do is part of your life even if it’s good or bad. Everything you do or happens to you happens for a reason and it becomes part of your life.

The last time I felt alive. Was when my Aunt was really sick with caner. And when I went to see her in the hospital I felt dead I felt but I didn’t want to. So I blocked it out and acted like I didn’t care. And even after I left I still felt dead. Then after a couple of weeks she went to a doctor again my mom and I went to see what they were going to say. And as we were waiting for the doctor my aunt sat there looking so scared a little. And that’s when I realized how much being alive is important. But when the doctor come in he told us her caner was retreating it was the most wonderful thing. It made me realize that I never took my life seriously until I realized that you could die any day.
