Sorry, But Serena Williams Is A Bad Role Model For Young Girls

Be the example you should be for your child and quit crying because you lost.

Sorry, But Serena Williams Is A Bad Role Model For Young Girls

I realize I'm probably going to get a lot of backlash for this, but Serena is terrible in every way possible.

Why don't we first begin with the fact that she claims to be a feminist and supporter of all women, but treats a lot of them like trash. If you watch videos of some of her matches, she is screaming at them, claiming they aren't doing their job, or they're terrible to look at, etc. I realize she does this to the men as well, and by no means am I saying that's ok, but someone who states she's a supporter of feminism should not be downgrading these women like this. I don't care who you think you are.

To continue, can we please just pay close attention to the fact that she threw her racket at the U.S. Open. A grown woman pitched a tantrum fit because she lost. All while still screaming at the poor people working the event. She wasn't getting her way so she pitched a fit. This is what 5-year-olds do, not grown adults. It's childish, and horrible, not to mention it completely took the spotlight away from the one who truly deserved it because of her win, Naomi Osaka.

Finally, she is a mother. I get it, she's an athlete and super competitive. That doesn't give you permission to act the way she acts. She has a child to be an example to, though. When she's over there pitching fits, trying to get her way when she clearly hasn't earned it, what example does that set for her child? What example does that set for all children?? A terrible one. Be the example you should be for your child and quit crying because you lost.

If you disagree with my opinions, you're wrong, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
