Who Is To Blame?
https://clipartfest.com/categories/view/YW1lcmljYW4gc29sZGllciBjbGlwYXJ0/american-soldier-clipart.html

We live in a world today where your here today, and you may be gone tomorrow. I never imagine growing up that the world would be a place that is in today. It saddens me that the world is full of evil and instead of us trying to change what is happening, we sit back and complain and judge. But what do we do if somebody is asking for help and we turned a blind eye and act like it never happened. I understand that some people don't know how to get, locate , or start to find assistance with some issue they may be dealing with; but we need to wake up and and realize that our world is crumbling in front of our eyes. For instance the shooting that just recently happened last week in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where 5 people lost their lives and 8 others were injured had previously went in for an evaluation and stated that he was hearing voices so they committed him for four days and released him after that and gave him back his weapons according to his brother. But from further information released he was discharged from the military 4 months ago because of his mental state. So who is responsible for this tragedy , the shooter or the people who didn't recognize that he wasn't work with a full deck of cards? We need better assistance for people who are in the military or government service that need to be accommodated back into civilian life. From personal experience I know some people who were in some sort of branch of the military and it was hard for them to get back into civilian or a normal life. And one thing that all my friends stated was they didn't have the necessary help after leaving the military. If they are protecting and serving us ,and protecting our freedom what are we doing to protect them when they have been discharge or misplaced because of tragedy that occurred when they were in the field as they call it. We have to many veterans and military officers that are left without help and when someone of their stature needs help we turn a blind-eyeThe question I want to posed in this article is who is the blame when a tragedy occurs from a mentally ill person ?

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.

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.
