Week Days


Weekend Days







Weekday Charts:
My chart for week days had said that i eat fat food but personally i don't believe that my food is fat. That must be because of my lack of interest in watching out for fat. The negative side of this is that i will do badly later on in life with heart problems. My second largest amount is proteins which is a big bonus since i will get my needed substances for sure for my growing hormones. I guess that i have a high protein amount since i love fruits and vegetables. The problem is that i eat to much of it sometimes. Considering the fact that to much is better then to little. My total vitamins are either to much or lacking, for example vitamin D. I am currently lacking in that but that is because the machine does not know how long i am in the sun for.


Weekend Charts:
My chart for the weekend is a quit bad compared to my weekday chart as it shows a huge amount of carbs and very little fats and protein. I also lack in my vitamins although i have a very large amount of Vitamin C and Vitamin B-12, B-6. This is very bad as well. I hope to improve on that and also improve on my fiber. I also have a very weak amount of calcium which surprises me since i eat things that have a lot of calcium in it. Hopefully by some time i will get my daily foods sorted out so that i feel better.


Eating allowance and Conclusion:
I dont have an eating allowance which means that i can basically eat anything i want, but it is watched by my parents but i have no clue why my statistics are very shocking as i feel very energetic throughout the day and feel good and full most of the time, i never have a lack of fat but instead these charts tell me that i eat to little, i am very confused but should also take these notes under consideration. My next goal is to for fill my food intake issues.

Depression Is Out There

Jared Benjamin High 
http://www.jaredstory.com/

Summary of article
The jared case is one that happens to many children and teens all around the world. Jared is one of the victims who was bullied at school but had shown non of the pain when at home with his parents. He was born on the 23 of September 1985. Sadly, he decided to end his life at the age of 18 on the 29th of September 1998. His favorite cake was named Worm cake, it was named by his mother. It was one of her happy memories with her son.

Global Meaning
Bullying is an absolute shocking state of affairs to start doing to someone else. People will bully to make them selves feel good while making the other person collapse in side their sole. Bullying leads to depression and in often cases suicide just like Jared's case. Its extremely depressing to hear or read about suicide cases that could have been fixed just by a couple of conversations. Most of the time the bullies are not caught by officials, but inside their thick and arrogant skin they feel like dropping through such an evil thing that they have done.

Personal Meaning
Bullying is something that is not new to me. Many people do not believe me when i tell them that i was bullied when i was in 4th grade. That was my last year in MKIS due to my hate of school and a depression that i went through. When i read or learn about depression, i feel dark inside of me since i remember things that i went through. I was one of the lucky ones who could have escaped it before it got worst. As a matter a fact, i am depressed in some parts of the day. This article makes me remember the past therefore adding layers onto a depression i use to have and maybe I still have, but maybe I just don't notice it. This article doesn't make me improve but instead makes me feel depressed and feel as bad as i felt back in my depressing days.
