Parenting advice

If your child comes to you and says they are having self harming thoughts don't take it lightly. Something is going on with them for them to bring this to your attention. Shut up and listen. You need to ask what is going on at school, friends, and family. Check their social media. Just because they might act happy all the time doesn't mean they are happy all the time.
Make time to ask how there day is every day.
Reassure them that they are loved.
Make time for quality time.
Turn your phone off when talking with them.
IF you think they might need counseling go that route.
Church support is another positive way.
Pray together.
Talk to see what can be done different to make things easier.
Don't laugh at the situation and say well you will get over it. How would you feel if someone laughed at you about you going through a rough time?
Being a kid isn't always easy. They deal with peer pressure, where do I fit in, bulling, and much more.
Keep an open line of communication with your child. IT is IMPORTANT.
Pull all resources to reassure your child that is not the way to fix a problem and how much life they have ahead. Explain to them that it might not seem like things are good now and how can you help to make it better. BE EMPATHETIC.
They need to hear you tell them that you love them. They need to hear that sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.

Stop giving the negative people attention

 Stop giving the negative people of the world so much attention.  Stop making negative people so famous for negative stuff. It's disgusting that the people who are doing horrible things are being given that attention. We as people see it in people's real lives and social media. Social media is where we need to start drawing the line. If we would take that attention away and ignored the bad behavior maybe just maybe they would see that it isn't good. People have turned negative into this is a social normal. It is not a social normal. Stop feeding the negative and toxic behavior. Stop saying it's normal.  I'd like to see more of you sharing people who are trying to succeed in life, build each other up, helping one another with small business or businesses, spreading love and light, helping people who are less fortunate, listening to others, being there for people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD,and much more.  So many could be successful if everyone supports everyo

Cursed House

  It's a dark stormy night this Halloween night. The clouds  are ominous.  You can feel the energy from the storm. 5 friends and me are staying in an abandoned house deep in the Bayou of Louisiana.  I had picked the place. My friends and I love spooky things. This year we are hoping for a good scare because last year we went to a cemetary and it was just a bunch of teenagers messing with us. We get to the abandoned house before it starts storming.  There is a fireplace in the living room and we light a fire to stay warm and cozy.  "Ari what is the plan?" my boyfriend asks. "I thought we would eat and check the house out after." My friends and I make sandwiches. We eat in the living room. While we are eating we hear kids laughing. We get up to see where it is coming from and find nothing.  It is  a big house you can get lost in because the house is made like a maze. "This house is strange," Joe says. "Did you know  it was made like a maze?&quo
