To Smack or Not to Smack!!!

Hello all, Diva On Tha Block here cold as ever. I went to school today and I'm at an all new low. Quick let me tell you what happen before I bust a blood vessel. The day started off rather cool. I woke up fresh, got in the shower, put clothes on, did my hair, and headed out the door toward the corner to catch the bus for school. When I arrived in the parking lot of my school building my friend NeNe was waiting for me. From that point I thought the whole day was going to be a breeze, a total reason why I love school but like never I was wrong. First hour went off well. The teacher was very nice and it seemed pretty quit. Second and third hour was the same way tell I went to lunch. I love lunch, one of my favorite subjects..lol...but lunch is what I like to call 'A feeding pool of drama'. I mean teenagers going from table to table, theirs bond to be some drama. Anyways, I sit with all my friends at lunch, or shall I say friends plus one wannabe. this girl name, well we'll just call her ' Dat Trick'. Dat Trick was sitting by NeNe and I was sitting right across from her. Dat trick is the most grimy type of female and if you don't know what I mean by grimy type, I mean the type that will laugh in your face play like she's your friend but as soon as you turn your back she's stabbing you in it. The type that hates behind the scenes instead of telling you in your face. So back to the story at hand. We all were talking about what we were going to do after school and me being grown acting I turn my attention to this fine dude that was sitting at this other table. Dat Trick saw me looking at him and she asked me did I like him and I said yea. She turned to look at him again then she said she new him so I was like cool. She told me that she could hook us up and since me and Dat Trick were friends I thought that I was straight. Dat Trick got up from her seat an went over to his table. I could see they were talking but I couldn't hear what they where saying. When the lunch bell rang for us to go to class I asked Dat Trick what he had said. She told me he said he don't really know me but he would like to get to know me so I was like cool. On the way down the stairs I saw Dat Trick and him talking, I just thought they still where talking about me so I just went to class. When I went to my fourth hour class Dat Trick was sitting right in the back of me. we didn't talk that much just because the teacher kept making us be quit. When we got to fifth hour it was a different story. Dat Trick was sitting in front of me this time. She was talking to this one girl I don't like. Dat Trick turned in her seat an told me (very loud so almost everyone could here) that the boy I liked, liked Dat Trick instead. I didn't really care he was just a boy I saw at lunch and Dat Trick knew I didn't care but for some reason she tried to tell everyone that I did. she told the girl that I don't like that I was mugging her in the hall-way when she was talking to the dude that I thought was cute an I was about to cry. I told her that i wasn't but she kept saying it. I was wondering why she was saying this to everyone and she was suppose to be my friend. Then on top of that the girl tried to call me out, like I had the attitude. I didn't want to snap on the girl but she was very close to hearing what I had to say. The teacher kicked us out of class for disruption. At that point I was pissed, accuse the french but yeah very mad, not just because she tried to front on me in class but the fact that I got kick out of class on top of it. I didn't have sixth hour with any of my friends including Dat Trick but after sixth hour NeNe came to me an told me that Dat Trick was talking about me in class. About how she got me scared, and I was thinking 'of what' , over something as stupid as a boy. How dumb was she. NeNe was my best best best friend and I knew she wouldn't lie to me but I couldn't believe how dumb Dat Trick was acting. By the time I got outside to catch the bus Dat Trick came over to me and was acting like nothing happened, like we was cool, like I wanted to talk to her, like she never talked about me in fifth an sixth hour. I wanted to slap Dat Trick so bad but instead I just told her she was fake and walked away.

You don't know how bad I wanted to slap her. It was hard for me to hold down my hand but I knew being kicked out of school wasn't worth it. It wasn't worth her nor the time. What do you think I should of done? What do you think I should do the next time I see her, also Have you ever ran into people like that? Thank you so much for read my post...holla back..

I HATE THE COLD!!!.

This post has been hit with a cold front.. Why can't snow be warm?? I was thinking to myself, what a dumb question but what I guess I should say is why should snow be cold?? Every time I leave the house I have to get my coat, my fingers always seem to be frozen almost to where they fall off, and my ears turn jet red. I have no reason to love that cold snow but their are perks to having that sometimes white sometimes fluffy substance. Even though I don't make snowmen anymore I do like to throw it at people occasionally (hint hint). This cold wasn't meant for a gal like me. I'm bound for the sun, the blaze against my skin, the substance which helps the leaves turn green, Yet the sun hides right around winter time. The only thing I feel is frost bite against my skin and as for the leaves, well they disappear without a trace. I don't blame them, in fact hibernation would be a major suggestion. Have you ever been outside without a coat on in the winter time? It will freeze your haha's off, whatever that is. To not seem ungrateful I like to think of the cold as ying to my yang. Without it there would be no warmth.

Money, Money, Money

What-up yall this is my very first post, and I can say that I'm very exited. Hopefully you can welcome me with open arms. Today I will be talking about money, mainly teenage money. I'm talking about the big M.O.N.E.Y, the type of money that could make you or break you. Money comes in three ways cash, check, an credit cards, and needless to say I see all three being misused throughout my neighborhood. Me being a teenager myself I know I've ran into a few money problems here an there but along the years I've learned how to manage my money quite well. Every year teenagers lose money and what do they have to show for it, clothes but what would that do for you in the long run.

Young teenagers usually deals with cash, maybe from a weekly or monthly allowance that there parents gave to them, or maybe from selling candy to a friend, or selling pencils to a classmate. To some, cash may be the way to go but if you don't manage it right it could leave you flat on your face.

This girl at my school was telling everyone how she got twenty dollars every week from her parents just for keeping the house clean, I was thinking to myself, now that's a lot of money. Imagine how much money she would have at the end of every month if she saved even ten dollars each week... Anyways, as she made her money, every time I would see her at school she would Cash out left an right, and when I say cash out I mean all her money it was ridiculous. The day was Tuesday when we were in class. Our teacher told us that we all needed to pay for a certain book that cost ten dollars plus paper an pencils if needed, all which was going to cost just about eleven dollars. The teacher would call up everyone who had money except for the girl who got the allowance. I was wondering why she didn't have any money then I began to think that maybe she couldn't spend her money for whatever reason it was. When I saw her at lunch (being very nosy) I asked her how come she couldn't buy the book, she told me that all her money was gone. Now, me being me I thought to myself, how could someone who gets twenty dollars a week end up with nothing at the end of the month, then it hit me this girl was very sick from the money spending disease. In the end she learned a valuable lesson about money management.

Older teens usually deal with checks and credit cards, If you had a job then checks would be apart of your life. You know the whole cashing your check at the bank, but the most exiting thing teenagers get to deal with is their first very own credit card. Most teens can't manage a credit card, which I speak from experience. Just like cash, credit cards too can leave you flat on your face an then broke some more, so when you get some money the credit card would take what you maxed out.

This guy I know has this credit card. As soon as he got his card he went to the mall and spent spent spent, by the time he came back from the mall his credit card was nearly maxed out. (being very nosy) I asked him why did he spend all his money when he knew he was going to have to pay all of it back. He told me that he didn't care that he would pay all the money back in do time. This is what I call Biting off more then you can chew. Why would you spend more money off your credit card then what you have in the bank? I don't know about you but I want good credit...



These are just a few things I do to manage my money.



When your dealing with cash:


1) Try to put as much money in the bank as possible, That way it can grow.


2) Put away half. For whatever amount of money you earn put half of that away and use that other half for whatever.


3) Spend cash wisely. Its okay to buy what you want but maybe it would be better if you bought what you needed first.




When your dealing with checks:


1) Don't write bad checks. If you have twenty dollars in the bank no more then that should be wrote on a check when your buying something.


2) Cashing your check. Don't withdrawal all the money on your check, try to keep half in the bank.




When your dealing with credit cards:


1) Make sure you have money in the bank to back-up your card.


2) When you spend money off your card pay back more of what the credit card company ask for.


3) Don't max out your card!!.


4) If your a first time credit card user try to work with one card. Remember the more cards you have the more money you'll have to pay back.


5) Pay the money back. Good credit is everything so the more you pay back the better your credit will build.





It was true when they said money rules the world but it doesn't have to rule you. After all teenagers have their lives waiting for them so keep track of your money so that you and your family will be secure in the future...

Thank yall for reading my post an I hope it helped you out in some ways...holla back.
