Frida Kahlo

"Frida" in my opinion was a great movie. At first I was very skeptical about how much i would enjoy it but as the movie progressed i was really hooked and interested in what was going to happen next. The movie is a about a women names Frida who is not your average women. She shows masculinity along with her feminine side and is not your typical artist. she gets into a fatal car accident and afterwards he mother passes away and has to work in order to provide for herself. it showed her independence and how different she was from the other women.
Frida's art was incredible and it was incredible beacuse it was so different from the art at the time. It was somewhat depressing and thats what made it special and all her work had meaning to it. If i had to rate this movie on a scale from 1-10 i would give it a 9. It was able to keep me interested and had a great story line and taught me about one of the greatest artist of her time. i recommend everyone to watch it because you can learn from it and i would watch it again without any hesitation.

preventing unwanted "friends".....

The virus known as aids and HIV is infecting many and especially the youth of out nation more and more. It has become an epidemic and is going down due to awareness and many organizations speaking out in the favor of having safe sex. Not only does it prevent disease it also prevents unexpected pregnancy. It is 99.9% affective and is the best way to go if you choose to have premerital sex. it is a proven fact taht by the age of 25 1 out of every 3 adults who are sexually active have an STD or a sexually transmitted disease. Just recently on the show the real world on MTV they promoted a movie called "Pedro". This movie was about the first gay male who was HIV positive on television and shows how he made a difference by speaking out and continuing to be on the show. It promots safe sex and always to use a condom to be safe. This does not only apply to the Gay community but it applys to society as a whole. When you speak up about safe sex and you reach one person, that person can reach another and another and it can become a chain reaction. Before you can help anyone you have to apply this to yourself and the people around you. We can all make a difference , make the right choice, use protection everytime.

Teen pressures.....

Peer pressure has always been around to affect our society. Many of our major problems such as alchohol, drug, and violence can be seen to have a relationship with peer pressure. If a person is strong enough and has his/her own brain, he can basically overcome any pressure that he/she is facing. Even though, peer pressure is in every society, sometimes people feel it's about experience and sometimes it is, but experience doesn't mean you have to go out and party till you pass out. I think that many girls and boys think it is "cool" to drink, smoke weed, abuse all those factors but when it comes down to it, all teenagers are simply killing themselves. Maybe not literally killing themselves but come closer to the dead end of life opportunities and everything their lives represented.
