Dear bullies,

See that boy doing his homework in homeroom? Last night he talked himself out of suicide.

See that girl you just called fat? She is starving herself.

See that old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars? He fought for our country.

See that young boy you must made fun of for being sick all the time? He might die soon because his family doesn't have enough money to pay for medication.

See that girl you made fun of for wearing lots of make-up? You bullied her for being ugly without it too. And chances are, if you are a girl, you are probably wearing makeup too.

Re-Post this if you are against bullying. You know that everything here is all true.

Okay, guys. This one is for all you Percy Jackson lovers (the series or the boy).

Which god or goddess do you think you would be the child of?

I would probably be daughter of Athena or Artemis. Why?

Athena: I am intelligent and have never gotten anything under a 90% on my report card. I can also tell the difference between Greek and Roman architecture. I take only a small interest in the subject itself, though. Aside from that, I love owls. They seem so wise and regal. Anyways, I guess that'swhy I would be daughter of Athena.

Artemis: I know, I know, this is weird. I have been called Katniss Everdeen before. Apparently, I look a lot like her in a braid (without my glasses) and even more so with my bow. That's right. I have a bow. I love archery. And the night better than the day. To me, that just symbolizes her.

What about you? I want to know! PM me!

Alright guys! Time for a laugh! (I know I did!)

Normal is just a setting on washing machines.

The difficulty is not so great as to die for a friend, as to find a friend worth dying for.

Don’t take life too seriously, you won’t get out alive.

When I'm stressed, I laugh. When I'm happy, I laugh. When I'm nervous, I laugh. If I find something funny, I can't stop laughing.

You're a great friend, but if the zombies are chasing us, I'm tripping you.

Automatic doors make me feel like a JEDI!

I'm not random! I'm just--HEY LOOK! A SQUIRREL!!!

A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is GOING somewhere.

I'm so gangster, I carry a squirt gun.

What do I do when I see someone EXTREMELY GORGEOUS? I stare, I smile and when I get tired I put the mirror down!

Facebook is like Jail, you sit around and waste time, you write on walls and you get poked by people you don't know!

Dear math: I am not a therapist. So solve your own problems.

I am proud of myself. I finished the puzzle in just 6 months while the box said 2 to 4 years.

I'm not lazy… I'm just conserving energy!

I decided to burn lots of calories today, so I set a fat kid on fire.

I want to merge My Space, Facebook, You Tube and Twitter and call it: MY FACE YOU TWIT.

Just because I'm cute doesn't mean I'm harmless.

If the dark side has cookies and the light side has chocolate, does the middle have chocolate cookies? Go Middle!!

People who don't know me think I'm quiet...people who DO know me wish I was.

I intend to live forever, or die trying.

They say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well I think the guns help. If you stood there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people.

There's nothing wrong with talking to random objects. It's when they start to talk back that you need to worry.

Wanna know how to keep an idiot busy? Take him into a round room and tell him to sit in a corner.

Chocolate is the answer no matter what the question is.

The below statement is true.

The above statement is false.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

I don't get it...boys think girls are so complicated. Haven't they met themselves?

If you're reading this then you're not dead. Good for you.

I ROCK! Guitar hero told me.

I tried being normal, but I didn't like it.

There are two things that are infinite. The universe and human stupidity. And I'm not so sure about the universe.

Flying is not inherently dangerous--crashing is.

The trouble with real life is that there is no background music.

Hey stupid! Your sock is untied...

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

I didn't slap you, I high-fived your face.

DEATH: the number 1 killer in the U.S...tell your friends.

Three hundred sixty-four days of the year, parents tell their kids not to take candy from strangers. Yet on Halloween, its encouraged! Why is that?

Chaos, panic, pandemonium. My work here is done.

Your laughing now because your older than me by mere months, but when your 30 and I'm still 29, who will be laughing then?

When you're in jail, a friend will visit you, a good friend will bail you out, but a best friend will be sitting right next to you saying, "Dang, that was fun! Let's do it again!"

I was about to take over the world, but I got distracted when I saw something shiny.

Being mature is overrated.

Parents spend the first part of our lives teaching us how to walk and talk, then the rest of our lives telling us to sit down and shut up.

Some say the glass is half full, others the glass is half empty, all I want to know is who's drinking my water!

Being weird is like being normal, only better.

Silence is golden . . . duct tape is silver.

Who ever said that words never hurt obviously has never gotten hit by a dictionary.

When life gives you lemons, make apple juice. Then sit back and watch the world wonder how you did it.

They laugh because we're losers . . . . We laugh because they just figured it out.

I'm the kind of girl who will burst our laughing in the middle of a dead silence because of something that happened yesterday.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to change it every 2 months.

Sometimes I wonder, "Why is that Frisbee getting bigger" And then it hits me.

You’re just jealous because the voices only talk to me.

If at first you don't succeed, change the rules.

Smile: it makes people wonder what you're up to.

The extinction of the dinosaurs was no accident. Barney came along and they all committed suicide.

Whoever said "Nothing's impossible" never tried to slam a revolving door.

Dear America, Since you have unleashed on us the horror that is Miley Cyrus, we have decided to retaliate. Its name is Justin Bieber, and no one will be spared. Sincerely, Canada.

Flying is simple: Just throw yourself at the ground and miss!

Don't knock on Death's door. Ring the doorbell and run. He hates that.

I swear Mario is a hobo. He wakes up every day in the same clothes, runs around in sewers collecting coins, and to buy what? MUSHROOMS!

Ever noticed that "studying" is "student" and "dying" put together?

Dear Guy-Sitting-Next-To-Me: Yeah, I see you copying me. But jokes on you. I didn't study either.

I dream of a better world where chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.

Teacher leaves room during a test.

Elementary-*Silence* Middle-*Whispers* Can I have a piece of gum? High School-*Yells across room* Whats the answer to number one?!

Today, I decided I want to be a ninja when I grew up. So I went home and Googled "Ninja School" To see where I can be professionally trained in the art. I followed a link that said Ninja School, but the page could not be found. Well played, Ninja School, well played.

(I did not make these up. I copied and pasted it off another user's page. So if you find them in anyway offending, I apologize.)

Here are some good quotes that I like:

"A good writer not only possesses not only their own spirit, but the spirit of their friends as well." -Friedrich Nietzsche

"The man who reads lives a thousand lives by the time he dies. The man who doesn't read only lives one." -Unknown

"We read to know that we are not alone." -William Nicholson

I will add more later, but that's all for now! :)

Carmen Winstead was a young girl who died when she was pushed down the sewer by five girls she thought were her friends.

Carmen was 17 years old when her parents decided to move to Indiana. Her father had lost his job and the only way he could find new employment was by moving to a new state. The relocation caused a lot of problems for Carmen. She had to leave her friends behind and attend a whole new school in Indiana. Carmen had a hard time making friends when she changed schools. It was the middle of the school year and most of the students had no interest in befriending the new girl. Initially, she spent many days alone, walking from class to class without speaking to anyone, but she eventually started hanging around with a group of five other girls. Carmen thought these girls were her friends, but it wasn’t long before she discovered that they had been talking about her behind her back and spreading vile rumors.

When she confronted them, the girls turned on her and began bullying her every day, making her life a misery. They started out calling her names, but then the bullying got much worse. One day, she left her school books in the classroom at break time. When she returned, she found someone had taken a sharpie and written dirty words all over her books. Another day, she opened her bag and discovered someone had poured yoghurt all over the insides. Sometimes, she would come to school and find her locker had been vandalized. The final straw came when she put on her coat at recess and found that someone had stuffed dog poop in her pockets.

There and then, Carmen decided that she couldn’t take the bullying any longer. She planned to stay behind, that evening, after school, and tell her teacher what had been happening. Unfortunately, her decision came too late to save her life.

After lunch, her teacher announced that the school was holding a fire drill. When the alarm sounded, Carmen and the other students filed out of the classroom and assembled in the yard outside. As the teachers read out the roll call, the gang of five girls decided that this was a great opportunity to embarrass Carmen in front of the whole school during the fire drill. They moved over to where Carmen was standing, near a sewer drain, and began crowding the poor girl, getting in her face and nudging her towards the open manhole.

They pushed her and she tripped over and fell head-first down the manhole. When they saw her falling, the girls started giggling and when Carmen’s name was called out, they shouted "She’s down in the sewer!"

All of the other students began laughing. But when the teachers looked down the manhole and saw Carmen’s body lying at the bottom in the muck and the poop, the laughter abruptly stopped. Her head was twisted around at an odd angle and her face was covered in blood. Worse still, she wasn’t moving. There was nothing any of the teachers could do for her. Carmen was dead. When the police arrived and went down into the sewer, they determined that she had broken her neck. Her face had been torn off when she hit the ladder on the way down and her neck snapped when she landed on her head on the concrete at the bottom.

The police hauled Carmen’s body out of the sewer and sent her to the mortuary. Everyone had to stay behind after school while the police questioned all of Carmen’s classmates. The five girls lied to the police, saying they had witnessed Carmen falling down the sewer. The police believed the girls and Carmen Winstead’s death was ruled an accident and the case was closed. Everyone thought that was the last they would hear of Carmen Winstead, but they were wrong. Dead Wrong.

Months later, Carmen’s classmates began receiving strange e-mails on their MySpaces. The e-mails were titled "They Pushed Her" and claimed that Carmen hadn’t really fallen down the sewer, she had been pushed. The e-mails also warned that the guilty people should own up and take responsibility for their crime. If they didn’t there would be horrible consequences. Most people dismissed the e-mails as a hoax, but others were not so sure.

A few days later, one of the girls who pushed Carmen down the sewer was at home taking a shower, when she heard a strange cackling laugh. It seemed to be coming from the drain. The girl started to freak out and ran out of the bathroom. That night, the girl said goodnight to her mom and went to sleep. Five hours later, her mom was awoken in the middle of the night, by a loud noise that resounded throughout the house. She ran into her daughter’s room, only to find it empty. There was no trace of the girl. The worried mother called the police and when they arrived, they conducted a search of the area. Eventually, they discovered the girl’s grisly remains.

Her corpse was lying in the sewer, covered in muck and poop. Her neck was broken and her face missing. It had been completely torn off. One by one, all of the girls who pushed Carmen that day were found dead. They had all been killed in exactly the same way and were all found at exactly the same spot. In the sewer at the bottom of the same uncovered manhole where Carmen had met her doom. But the killing didn’t stop there. More and more of Carmen’s former classmates were found dead. It seemed that anyone who didn’t believe that Carmen had been pushed, was eventually found down in the sewer with their necks broken and their faces torn off.

They say that Carmen’s ghost is still on the rampage, hunting down anyone who doesn’t believe her story. According to the legend, Carmen will get you, whether it’s from a toilet, a shower, a sink or a drain. When you go to sleep, you’ll wake up in the sewer, in complete darkness, paralyzed, unable to move, hearing cackling laughter all around you. Then, as you scream in horror, Carmen will come and tear your face off.

So be careful who you bully, because you just might find yourself on the receiving end of the curse of Carmen Winstead.

FACT: About two months later, 16-year-old David Gregory read this post and didn't repost it. When he went to take a shower, he heard laughter, started freaking out, and ran to his computer to repost it. He said goodnight to his mom and went to sleep, but five hours later, his mom woke up in the middle of the night from a loud noise and David was gone. A few hours later, the police found him in the sewer, with a broken neck and the skin on his face peeled off.

Even Google her name - you'll find this to be true.

If you don't repost this saying "They hurt her," then Carmen will get you, either from a sewer, the toilet, the shower, or when you go to sleep, you'll wake up in the sewer, in the dark, then Carmen will come and kill you.

They hurt her... (When I read this it made me all paranoid, so I decided to repost it. And it's a cool story, honestly.)

I am that girl, the one who likes books more than boys. The one who pretends not to be sad, just to make others happy. The one who always wonders what she did wrong. The one who writes to escape. The one who just wants to help. The one that really wants to make a difference. The one that sticks to her values. The one that refuses to believe that this is it. The one that will do anything to make a better tomorrow.

I am the girl...that doesn't go to school dances, or games, and when I do go, I sit in a corner and read a book. I am the girl that people look through when I say something. I am the girl that spends most of her free time reading, writing, or doing other activities that most teenagers wouldn't call normal. I am the girl that people call weird, and a freak either behind my back or to my face. I am the girl that doesn't spend all her time on MySpace, or talking to a girlfriend on a cellphone or regular phone. I am the girl that hasn't been asked out in a year. I am the girl that has stopped to smell the flowers and jump and splash in the rain.

But I am also the girl who knows and is proud to be who she is, doesn't care if people call her weird (it's a compliment), who loves reading and writing and doing the things that no one seems to have the time to do any more, who loves and is obsessed with nerdy things that only she would like, who can express herself better with writing than talking, and knows the importance of the little things in life that most overlook! Copy and paste if you can relate!
