LEAVING YOUR BABY IN A LOCKED CAR DURING THE SUMMER IS WRONG!
(and other helpful
summer tips)
by Jen Gillis, Age 15 Hi.
Summer is here and as a member of the young generation that
will one day lead this country, I am very concerned about
people who don't use deodorant or who leave babies in locked
cars during the summer when it's like really hot outside.
First of all, even though I don't have kids myself, I know
a little bit about parenting because my ex-friend Haley
Farber was secretly pregnant last summer and I was the only
one she told. I bought her some parenting books during the
"secret Santa" gift exchange for everyone on the
homecoming committee. For some reason she got all angry
and in my face and told me she had a secret abortion anyway.
But before I gave her the books I happened to read the back
cover and looked at some of the pictures, which were educational
even though they were totally gross.More»

Ah yes, prom night. Our most requested photo in the BFA
vault is back, representing all end-of-the-school-year dances.
Not necessarily safe for work but cooler bosses will sigh
as they become awash with all the warm memories.Photo
of the week »
I thought this love would be forever
But then we came to stormy weather
I love you more than I have ever
Yet I feel that I can have you never
Sometimes I feel that you have died
And for days and days I cried and cried
When I saw you the other day I sighed
I wanted you so and tried and tried
Still I hope it was meant to be
Me and you, you and me
We loved each other, didnt we?
Dont tell me it was just momentary
We kissed and loved like fertile doves
We were like people who have found their loves
We found each other like angels from the above
Can you separate a pair of gloves?
And yet I want you as before
You are the one I still adore
And being with you was never a chore
So come back to me the person I could never abhor
My life feels as if it has been disregarded
I never thought that when our love started
That you would ever make me feel retarded
Yet here I am feeling really discarded
Im still trying to do my best
I eat and drink and sleep and rest
But still I stop and hold my breath
That someday I will pass your test
Why has this problem come into what was so bright?
And hope that someday well totally get out of this strife
What made this problem come into our life?
Why did you not want me to be your wife?
And so I go on and pay my dues
Im not just somebody that you can just use
I am a human being just like you
But for some reason you think you are Tom Cruise
But even though you think youre hot
Do you know what? Youre really not
So go for it dude, if you think Im so besot
Cause youre kind of an asshole, Scott.
