Today in class, we started our next unit. This unit isn't about a certain culture, but geographical regions. I've never taken a geography class. In middle school we never even really talked about it, Just about the wars over and over. From the activity we did in class, I can tell this is going to be a hard unit, and not so easy to get by as the first one. I really like geography because I think it's important to learn about our earth, and the way it looks. I hope to be fortunate enough to get to travel out of this country some day, and see other regions. This is something I wish everyone could experience.

It really upset me when my classmates didn't say anything as if it was okay, but then it occurred to me that I wasn't saying anything about the matter either. I soon regretted not speaking my opinions on the matter to create more class discussion. First, I'd like to begin by making my opinions on gay, lesbians, and bi relationships. To me it doesn't matter your religion, or what your parents say on the matter, you can think whatever you want on what is right and wrong to this topic. Your parents shouldn't influence your decision or what the bible says. Also I don't know why people make such a big deal about this as well. It's fine if they don't support it, but they also don't h...
