Baby Steps
I have thought my entire life I can’t change the world it’s too hard. It’s too big a job for me. How can I do this? Life tears people down at times. Bosses, friends, family, and relationships: they can tear us down. However they can also build you up. Remember that. Don’t tear others down, build them up. You can’t go from birth one second then a famous musician the next. You must start at the baby steps. Don’t worry, you can make it. Life is good or bad. It really depends on how you take life and make it. It truly is about you attitude. I know if I look at the world and say the problems are too big for me, they will only get bigger and I won’t be trying. So I look at the world and say I have to start. I can do this baby steps is a start. This is just a start. This blog is just a start. I hope you find it amazing you are there for The World Bleeds baby steps. Also I hope you make your own in becoming a better person to improve this world. To stop world hunger, global warming, genocide, rapes, murders… and so much more that goes on in this life. No one is a lost hope remember that. Everyone can move on, simply try. Go do something now. Baby steps will lead us to walking to running to flying. What are your baby steps?

Protesting!
So this is America and we do have every right to protest things... Here is my ONLY problem with protesting: IT BECOMES VIOLENT!!! listen not everyone needs to see things your way. Peacefully protest! If you disagree discussions on points are okay but here is the thing one person state their views then the other... don't interupt because then people get angry and it turns into a heated arguement then we get so worked up that we end up fist fighting and beating each other up emotionally with words and physically and it can get worse than that. Weapons get involved.
Listen I'm not saying protesting is not bad I believe people should stand up for what they believe especially when human beings or animals or the enviroment is being harmed. However remember that violence causes wars not a solution. My advice is be understanding in protest on both ends. And I know their are some people who are so into what they protest they won't hear a word from anyone who apposes them, but set the example for them. Be understanding. More impotantly be open minded to at least listen to what others say.
Thats my advice, take it or leave it: it's your choice. Just do me one favor at least think about what I've said. Thanks. I hope you find the joys in this wonderful life.

Ronald McDonald House Charities
Alright... mostly on this blog I think it seems that we are asking you to do big things to change the world...well the world needs big change. However, you don't have to be the only one trying to make the change big. A simple way to get involved (and this will be easy for most households considering the ammount of soda everyone drinks) is collect your pop tabs. The Ronald McDonald House Charities collects them. They work with Recycling centers and get money back for your recycled pop tabs. All this money goes back into communities. The Ronald McDonald program well they do a lot. I honestly recomend going to they web cite and just checking it out, besides that it will make you want to donate much more. Also the link below will bring to their ways-to-help page from there, there is a link for drop off centers for the pop tabs. There are very very very many centers in the U.S. Desert Ridge High School's Theatre department collects them also if you happen to go there. THey will gladly take them. Most schools do collect the pop tabs. If none of the above work out for you contact us and we will gladly try to work something out with you to make it easy on you. Please just keep this in mind next time you drink soda or anything with a pop tab, it can help!

Some updates
Well it's been awhile now, since we have posted. I feel as though I don't know where exactly I'm headed with this blog. I want it to be inspiring and not all informational about all the bad things in the world. I want to show the bad things but even more important the good things in the world also. I feel I have been focusing too much on Romeo and Juliet (I was in the play) and I didn't have time for this or my boyfriend, or my friends. This saddened me greatly. I mean here I am making all my time about something I love to do not about the people I love. I try my hardest and this is a promise I will work harder on this cite and simply trying to be better. This is my main goal. I'll make it a big priority!
Anyway, I sincerly hope everone who reads this has a wonderful day, week and year and life. That they look for the joy all around them and overcome the bad. Remember you are never alone when things get bad. There is always somewhere you can go to simply talk if you need it. I love this world and am sad at how it is being destroyed and thats why I'm trying to change it because I love it. I hope you do the same.

Are you weak or strong
Why is it so hard to bend down and pick up a small piece of trash?
Why is it so hard to turn off the lights or the tv when you exit the room?
Why is it so so hard to think of the worlds problems?
Why is it so hard to say no when drugs are being passed around?
Why is it so hard to say no to 4 dollars (Yes 4 now) for a box of girl scout cookies that will make you fat and you really don't need?
Why is it so hard to wake up in the morning to go to school for eight hours a day?
Why is it so hard to help someone else on the side of the road?
Why is it so hard to love?
Why is it so hard to hear the voices crying in the wind?
Wy is it so hard to take a moment one single act and do something fantastic with it?
Why is it so hard to read these questions without crying?
Why is it so hard to call a family member in another state with a birthday today?
Why is it so hard for factories to clean the air they use?
Why is it so hard to try and produce products from things less dangerous to the inviroment?
Why is it so hard for people to realize the impact human kind have on global warming?
Why is it so hard to not think about the world we live in thats dieing?
And why may I ask
Why is it so easy to drive 10 miles out of your way to pick up a friend for a party?
Why is it so easy to turn on every light and the house and all the 7 billion tv's and forget all of it as you drift of to sleep will the tv continues on with whatever smutty program playing today?
Why is it so easy to busy yourself up with video games and zone out in front of the tv?
Why is it so easy to get high or drunk once and kill someone's life behind a wheel?
Why is it so easy to say no to charity raising money for a good cause?
Why is it so easy to stay up all night on the computer, on the phone or textin?
Why is it so easy to see the pain in other countries and your own and just turn off the news to some program that won't make you think?
Why is it so easy to focus on what we don't have compared to what we do have?
Why is it so easy to forget family but when a friend is in need you drop everything?
Why is it so easy to think of yourself before others?
Why is it so easy to pollute the air?
Why is it so easy to breathe it all in and not realize something is wrong with it?
Why is it so easy to burn down a forest just to begin a new crop?
Why is it so easy to think the world is invinsible?
I'll tell you why. The strong stand a few and alone while the weak stand a many and together wondering around looking for nothing.
Are you the weak or the strong?
Only you can answer that question by your actions and not your words!

Darfur Now
The Islamic government of Sudan is engaged in Genocide. The Fur, Maslit, and Zaghawa natives of the Darfur region of Sudan are being massacred by the Islamic government with the aid of there Janjaweed forces (pictured below).
These attacks have been aimed at civilian villages. The village is not just destroyed, it is wiped out, appearing as ruins of an ancient civilization. The attacks are led by the Sudanese military then joined by the more violent Janjaweed. The Sudanese military and the Janjaweed forces are almost indistinguishable, minus the fact that the Janjaweed ride on horseback.
The systematic exterimation of these people is going on right now. As you worry about buying the newest game for your PlayStation or Xbox, millions are fighting there way through the desert to find there way to a refugee camp.
Thousands have been driven out of there homes and killed because they oppose the Islamic rule. They are starving while you throw away your left overs. They weep for families killed by forgiegn rulers. A blind woman looks for salvation is barren desert, who will help her? Who will stand up and help all those in pain, all those suffering while you enjoy American life? We will.
Send what you can to Darfur though the Red Cross to help those in pain.
Those who are hungery. Those who cry for aid, for love, for American life. Please don't read this cry for a moment then go on with your life. Do something now!!!!

Why this was started.
The world... it's become a sad sad place. it's sad and lonely at times. Their is so much pain. It's like over time we rip a small whole into our lives..into the world. Well that whole kept ripping and ripping, because no one saw it was there. However now it's so big some are overwelmed by what to do to fix it. It's not like a huge band-aid will fix this. There is not a band-aid big enough. But I believe one person can start to sew that whole back up. One person can't do it alone. It's too big a job for one, but if that one person starts who knows where it could lead. So this blog has been started as a way to inspire others.
I hope that you read this and you are touched. I hope you strive to make a difference in this world. It's not a lost hope to change it. Everything can change if there is a need for it to change. The world needs to change. It needs more hope. It's a hiding hope only few have found, but it's there. No matter how impossible it seems it won't become more possible if someone doesn't try to make it seem less impossible.
These are my words for you to ponder. I strive to help the world somehow. I hope with all my heart you think about helping too. that's the first step; just think about it.
