The thing that bothers me the most is bullying, when people gossip about one another behind each others backs. Trying to make that one person feel so uncomfortable that their not welcome to be at school.The person being bullied is usually quiet, shy, insecure or could be an instigator due to needing attention. The bullies may bully a sibling at home and feel the need to continue aggravating or just may be frustrated and feels a need to vent on someone. Problems at home are a good possibility as to why kids at school act the way they do. The one being bullied needs to speak up and cut off this unecessary action towards them. Especially if they don't deserve it.They start feeling emotionally abused by their classmates and it can turn physical. Students all around the world go through similar situations like this, their scared to walk around alone and even go to school with out thinking their going to get beaten up. They ask themselves if its ever going to stop or is it just going to escalate to a bigger problem. No one should ever be in a position were their to scared to even show their face around. People should start thinking twice of the things they do to others, things can go terribly wrong.... and that could end up being death. People pull suicide because they want the pain to go way, their humiliated, ashamed of who they are, they start feeling like no one cares about them, they have no one to talk to with out feeling like their getting ignored. The things they go through they cant handle it. The tears rolling down that persons face, cutting everyone away, just to stop all this tragic for that one person, to make it all end. the pain will end for him or her, but what about their loved ones? what about the split second moment when their parents or siblings walk into their room reminding him or her that dinner is ready, but instead they see their dead child in front of their eyes. the pain he or she had…. will now have moved onto his or her parents. their world will become so dark, they will blame themselves every single day. All because that one person got bullied by plenty and they didn't know when to stop. People out here really need to start thinking before they start pointing fingers at someone. Its time to step up and show some "Respect" towards one another, be the bigger person!!!!!! live the life the way you want to live it, but don't put people down because you got it bad.

taking there time in the hall
You know whats annoy me. When people take there time walking in the hallway when there is hundreds of kids behind them trying to get by. It bothers me because when i'm attempting to try and make it to my class on time, theres some people that just stop in the middle of the hallway to talk to a friend or they're taking there time walking with there "swag" on. It mostly takes place here in our school maples where in between classes everyone is trying to get to class not late with the halls usually packed. I've never told anyone to move faster cause its just rude and its not there fault cause they probably dont see all thoughs people behind them but this isnt a nursing home and they should know they arent the only kids that go to school here, there is lots of kids here trying to get to class too not late.
When People Don't Say Certain Things...
Last week, my sister asked if she can borrow my laptop do some school work, as well as check her Facebook, of course. Being a nice older brother I am, I let her use it. After two hours, she was getting ready to go to bed, so she came inside my room and returned my laptop. After she gave it to me, she turned around and left without uttering a single "thanks' or "thank you". I wasn't asking for an "OMG! Thank you for letting me borrow your laptop, my super awesome brother!" But saying anything to show your gratitude would be nice. Annoyed, I feigned a very loud cough and yelled "You're welcome!" after her. That's when she finally remembered her manners and said "thanks."
My sister isn't the only one who doesn't have/ forgets to show common courtesy. People nowadays are way too pre-occupied that they forget to express this display of politeness. Just the other day, I saw someone bump into a guy who was carrying a bunch of books. The poor guy dropped most if his books, while the guy who bumped into him just watched him pick all of them without apologizing. I remember feeling annoyed at that person. The first reason for me to feel annoyed would be because the person who bumped him didn’t say sorry. The second reason is for not helping the guy pick up his books. If that were to happen to me, I would have sarcastically said "thanks for helping me" with a very icy tone.
How hard is it to say one or two words to show appreciation or to express your apology? Maybe if someone made an exaggerated expression of gratitude, then maybe they will be able to pick up on what they're missing. By doing this, they might remember to show common courtesy by uttering a single thanks or sorry. Not only is this polite, but saying so may brighten someone else's day, or help improve the situation if you have done something wrong.
Those two words aren't just words; they mean a lot to some people. Our society today needs to re-learn common courtesy that generations and generations of human kind has developed. We humans are slowly becoming less civilized; we are practically going back to the Stone Ages in terms of manners. You don't necessarily need common courtesy in order to survive, but they are something you should know and practice. By doing so, you will make the world a better place. Not only showing common courtesy makes you a better person, it will also make you more likable.

Teenage Gangsters
It is very annoying when people act like they are “gangster” this mostly happens in high schools. They call themselves gangsters, I call them gangster wannabes. I will share with you my encounters with these people.
One day I was sitting in my math class doing my work, when one of "them" walks in late with a can of monster, energy drink. it’s not really hard to tell that he went to shell. His pants were falling down and his t shirt was down to his knees, but not only that he had to disrupt the whole class.
The next time I saw one of these wannabe’s was by the shell doors in a big group, and blocking my way to the stairs, so I just went through them. They started looking at me like I was the one doing something wrong.
Over all I think these people should start acting like normal teenagers and maybe attending class, and come on time.

Why suddenly a person out of nowhere stops?
My peeve is about a person who hang out with his/her friends in the middle of the hallway.
My friend and I were walking in the hallway one day last year when suddenly a guy out of nowhere stops. The hallway was so crowded; there wasn't enough space for the people who just going to hang out. He just kept on talking to his friend and another guy comes and said "Hey dude! Would you mind moving because you're blocking the way?" The guy who stopped at the hallway says "Oops! Yes, I wouldn’t mind, sorry." However, he didn't do anything and the guy keeps on talking until another guy said "Hey, don't stop in the middle of the hallway! Come on. Dude, MOVE!" He then replies "Fine! Dude, calm down" and smiles. Finally, the guy moved already; the hallway is still crowded because of many people who's hanging out. The guy was mad because he was going to be late for his next class. I’m still annoyed about that even now because it caused traffic.
People block the hallway because sometimes their friends will suddenly call them to ask a question or something. This is one of the reasons why students arrive late to class. I'm not the only one who's aware of this problem; other students are too.
I've never encountered a situation like this, but if it were to happen to me, I will tell that person directly to not block the hallway' move to an open area, and hang out somewhere else instead.
To avoid this kind of situation, the school should expand the hallways so that more students can occupy the space. We can accomplish this plan, if every student of maples that will going to hang out is going to moved into another place where is big and comfortable instead of tiny hallways which is hot and uncomfortable.

Hypocrisy, and why I dislike it
Hypocrites are a big pet peeve of mine. A hypocrite is a person who engages in the same behaviors he condemns others for. Hypocrites bother me, because they always have someone else to blame, it's like they have no self-discipline. Doing something hypocritical also makes you look extremely
self-centered, like "The problem is not with me, the problem is with
everyone else". Say someone gets cut off in traffic and they get really mad, but later they cut someone off and don't acknowledge it at all. That is the kind of stuff that makes me angry. If someone does something to you that you don't like, it doesn't entitle you to retaliate. Tell them to stop, or just ignore them, don't poke them back, because you'll start an argument or fight and you will look like the enemy. Just... DON'T DO IT MAN.
I recall one time I was playing video games with some friends of mine. Everyone was having fun until one of my friends goes "OH MY GOD I HATE THE GRENADE LAUNCHER, NO SKILL!" but before he even finished the sentence he started using the grenade launcher himself. So I say "Doesn't that mean you have no skill?" to which he just yells "NO!" followed by a moment of silence "It's.. just... when other people use it against me!". I nearly spoke up, but I held myself back. I wanted to tell him how dumb he sounded. If something is bothering you and causing you to not have fun you shouldn't retaliate by making all of the other people not have fun, they weren't even bothering you, and guess what... YOU LOOK LIKE THE ENEMY!
Does it make sense now? In the off-chance you said no, here's another example. I was in the car with my mom. We were driving somewhere, probably like Wal-mart or something boring. We were driving when out of nowhere this car pulls in front of us and cut her off, causing her to quite angry. So later after she had cooled off and we were on our way back from wherever we went, she went ahead and did the same thing to someone else. We pulled ahead of another car and then just cut right in front of it, and she says "Sorry" in a very unapologetic voice to herself, so I decide to chime in "You know, you are your own worst enemy". "I know" she says back to me. If you get so angry at something that you also do, you are either A) Not allowed to get angry, B) You have to actually feel regret for what you have just done, or C) you're a hypocrite.
Now that you sort of understand hypocrisy, you probably know that you have done it at least once too, my favorite singer states it best when she says "nobody's perfect". Even I'm a huge hypocrite, which makes this whole essay extremely ironic, because it is a big hypocrite complaining about when people are hypocrites. So the next time you're thinking about being a hypocrite, remember this and remember my words, because if you don't you will be the enemy and I will dislike you... and you don't want that, right?
THE END.

Blah,Blah,Blah
I will talk about one of my pet peeves, and one of them are
a person who's is always talking. Talking is not bad, but if you always talk
like there's no tomorrow that's irritates me.
I remember one time in our apartment, my aunt and my parents were chatting for a long time, it took 3 hours before they stop talking and that time I was in the living room where my aunt and my parent were talking each other. In our apartment there's only 2 bedroom, one is for my sister and the other one needs to be renovated. I had no choice but to sleep in the living room but my family members are there and still chatting and it really bothers me.
Back in the Philippines, when I was in grade 10. I remember one of my classmate talking so much and i told him to stop talking. He's my neighbor and he's always talk even when the teacher is discussing. one time my English teacher asked us to stand behind the doors. She did that because she saw my classmate talking to me even though I'm listening to my teacher and my teacher thought that we were chatting. I was so embarrassed and I told him to stop talking to me.
Some people talk even if it is not sensible because they don't want to be bored. Talking too much is not so bad but if you put into a appropriate place you can use it to gain knowledge.
