Why Do Chilren Have More Morals Than Logan Paul?

Discovering a suicide victim isn't a laughing matter.

Why Do Chilren Have More Morals Than Logan Paul?

If you don't know who Logan Paul is; consider yourself lucky. Right now, unfortunately, he is the most talked about Youtube Celeb and what they are saying isn't good. If you haven't heard what he did let me catch you up a bit.

Logan Paul thought it would be a good idea to make a vlog with him and his friends camping in Aokigahara, also known as Japan's Suicide Forest. He figured he would spend New Year's Eve there and see if it is true that it is haunted. During his little trek through the forest, Logan and his crew came across a victim of suicide. Instead of turning off the cameras and respecting this person. He decides to get closer him and just stands next to him. During this whole ordeal, he is cracking jokes and laughing. His friends made it seem like they had just found gold or something - their reactions were not sincere. You'd think that an adult who is 22-years-old would have a sense of morality and decency, if not for the living at least for the deceased.

Logan had released an apology letter on his Twitter account:

Now his apology letter seems a little half-assed. His apology is filled with "I's" and it looks as though he's just trying to make himself look good and try to make it seem like he really didn't mean to do this. After this letter, he posted another apology which was a video of him explaining that he should've never posted the original video and that he and his friends didn't know how to react.

So I call BS on this apology also, because I too have encountered a victim of suicide. I was around 11 or 12-years-old when this situation happened to me. At that age I was always carrying a digital camera documenting every little thing like Logan, even though I didn't have a large following like him, I still liked to post everything I did on MySpace.

One day walking my grandmother's neighborhood, my cousins and I heard a scream from an older lady that we didn't know and she was just shouting "Help! Help! My Husband!" So we frantically ran into her home (dumb idea, I know) and I ran to her husband, who was sitting on a reclining chair. I saw that he was bleeding and as I got closer I noticed a gun on his lap, that's when I realized that he had shot himself.

The feelings inside me were unexplainable, I was in shock from what I was seeing. We called the police and helped his wife out the house and tried to console her. Seeing her cry uncontrollably was heartbreaking, I couldn't imagine what she was feeling.

Now as a preteen, I had a better reaction than Logan Paul did. I didn't whip out my camera and take pictures of deceased or take a video with me standing next to him. I felt like I needed to give him and his family some respect. This is something Logan didn't think of, he was just focused on his content and getting views. Logan and his crew need a morality check in their lives. I hope Logan thinks twice about what he is going to post now, or at least get a person to review his videos before they get posted.

I hope he realizes that suicide is not a laughing matter. I hope he knows that he needs to buckle the f*** up because his life will never be the same after this.

If you are struggling with depression, self-harm or suicidal thoughts, do not hesitate to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text WELL to 741-741 to speak or text with certified counselors.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
