There are two main ones that are really important to me which are racism with blacks and Jews. Here is a good website that I found to give good information on racism. This is another good website on racism. I have learned that there are many more accounts of racism than you think that there is. Here is a video of people in the racism days.

Why are people judged by the way they look?
Sometimes you may wear a funky looking shirt or someone may say something about what you are wearing. But when I say the way that they look I mean there color. There are many times in History where people were kicked or put of their town or discriminated against. When I say discriminated i think of the times when there was racism. There is many times in History where people were discriminated against.

There are many religions and believes in the world. I want to tell you about one religion that I am very interested in. That religion is Christianity.
FOUNDER
The founder of Christianity is Jesus himself. Jesus was persecuted because he had many followers. Jesus' followers came in many many many shapes and sizes. Don't forget abis disci
ples. He has 12 of them. The disciples' names were James, John, Philip, Nathaniel, Matthew, Thomas, Peter, Simon/ The Zealot, Judas, Jude, Andrew, Simon/peter. These men were
very very close Jesus. Jesus is the son of God. Jesus is also know as Jesus Christ. The life of Jesus can be read in the bible. Some people believe that the bible was expanded by writers to make the story more than what it actually was. There are other people that believe that the Bible was written by Jesus himself. Jesus is sometimes know as Jesus the Christ. Christian refer to him as the Messiah.

There are about 2 billion people that claim that they are Christians. Most christians believe in the same things as some catholic. Christians believe in angels, demons, afterlife, the devil, the God, and human nature.
Holy books/ Sacred texts
One of the sacred texts is the Bible. The Bible is the primary sacred text. It comes from the latin word biblia, which mean books in latin. There also is the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is the foundation of the New Testament. When I say that it is the foundation I mean that the New Testament just gives details about the Old testament.

There are many holidays that christians celebrate but these are the most know, Christmas, Easter, St. Patrick's day, Valentines day, New Years Day, Thanksgiving, and Halloween. There are other holidays but theses are the most known ones.

Have you ever lost something?
Have you ever lost something that really meant a lot to you? Well I have, and I missed it some much and I felt like I was lost without it. It's kind of the way you lose someone that you have feelings for. Have you ever lost someone that has always been there for you? Have you ever hurt someone that it eventually it finally gets to you? When you first realize that it is gone, it feels like apart of you is missing. I felt like my arms were just cut off because I couldn't hold it anymore. It felt like I couldn't feel my fingers because it wouldn't touch my fingers any more. It was hard for me to forget about what I had lost. I really miss that friend that I lost.

Relationships
Sometimes people don't know what to do when they are having relationship problems. But I found a pretty good website that has helped me with a lot of things that I have been confused about. This is the website. this site has really good information. Some of the things on the site are signs. I learned that if you are constantly irritated and you have constant frustration that is a sign of having problems. From personal experience I have learned that avoiding the situation isn't always best. I learned that no matter how much it might hurt or how big the lump in your throat is, it's always best just to talk to whoever you are having problems with. Another website that I found good information on is this website. I learned from this website is that sometimes you have to try to understand the point of the other person is trying to say and get across. It isn't always a good thing just to get your point across and walk away from the situation. I'm not saying that staying while each of you are screaming is the right thing to do. Sometimes you do need to walk away from the situation when nothing is getting accomplished. When i am in an argument with one of my friends I don't always listen to what they are saying because I am so mad. I know that's not the best thing to do but sometimes i get so mad and that doesn't make anything better. If you have any other advice on how to deal with relationships PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Introduction
For the first time in my class we are getting to blog. The class is on team 3, and its pretty cool that our teacher is letting us blog.
I am going to start at the begging of when it all started! No not at the begging of my life but the begging of what I want you to know. It all started when we moved. I was so excited for us moving until the day came. When my mom told us that we were moving we all jumped for joy. (Before i go any further, when I say we I mean me and my family. There is seven of all together but there was only four that was supposed to move.) After we realized what we were gonna be leaving behind. When the day came to move there was only three that were going to be moving to the NEW HOUSE!!!! The only three people that were left were me, my two brothers, my mom and my god dad. They loved the house but me personally wasn't loving it so much. Some people say that I missed my home and then others say that I didn't like it because I kind of lost all that i knew. I guess that everything that everyone said was true and more. Have you ever wanted something so bad that it didn't matter what you lost? If you have does that make you selfish? Have you ever lost someone or something due to someone eles? If you have leave a comment and tell me how to cope.
