7. “When you grow up in an alcoholic family, there are skills you learn to survive and function when in an unstable environment,” Lennon said. “Unfortunately, many of those ‘skills’ are not productive in the real world later in life. As a child of an alcoholic, you learn to block out unpleasant things that occur. This coping mechanism put a strain on my relationship with my wife, friends and family. Children of alcoholics also tend to create an emotional wall between themselves and the ones they love and care about.”

Long response:

West Texas, Iraan high school, but the crash happens on the way back.
The victory was that they were going to semifinals for the first time in 20 years.
A bus wrecked with cheerleaders on it and the booster club president was killed. Others were very injured.
Yes, but it was very emotional.
The author included themselves.
The author said I, included themselves in the story and you never do that.
The story was such a big deal that I don't really think they minded. Plus, the author was actually there, so they knew exactly what happened.

Free Write Outside

Bodies.

My body is my body. My body is none of your business; you have no "ownership" of my body. I am me, and me completely. I don't need you to tell me I'm beautiful because I already know. I don't need you to point out my insecurities because to me, the imperfections you see are more items that make me my own version of human. 

My body is my body. What I do with and to my body is my decision. If I want permanent quotes on my wrists and stretched earlobes and 20 piercings on my body and long nails, I can do that without your opinion on me and my choices. 

My body is my body. I have scars and I have stories to tell, but those are for me to decide if I want to tell them to you. My body markings are entitled to me, and me only. I live inside and outside of my body, my style and my appearance is my choice.

My body is my body. Your judgement for how much skin I may show and how I style the pieces of clothing I purchase is to be kept to yourself. The amount of money I spend on shaving my hair for you to see is my decision. 

My body is my body. You have no rights to touch me, judge me or mock me because of how I look and dress. My style is part of my body and how I show it off. I am proud of my body, and I will never feel ashamed for the hard work I put into it to look like it does now.
My body is my body. My soul and heart are inside of it, which is what you should be looking at, not my outsides. Your judgement for who I am on the inside based on what I look like on the outside is completely up to you, but it is irrational to who I am.
My body is my body, and fully mine. My decisions are mine, if I want to be quiet one day and wear sweatpants and baggy clothes and the next day I want to be the most annoying, loud talker on the earth and brag about this amazing person I met, wearing a short skirt and tight clothes, that's my decision, and I don't give a single crap what you think of me, you're just missing out.
The more hate you put out, the more comes back to you. It's how the cards are dealt; if you cheat a lot, you're probably going to get bad hands. But if you put out beautiful vibes and share kindness with others through respect and loyalty, you will get that in return.
I have never understood why humans like to bring each other down, because it doesn't get you anywhere. Maybe you'll feel better for a few days - you won an argument, you made someone cry and plead on their knees, but after that, the only place from up is down. You will fall. You will break.
One of my biggest talents now is breaking people. Inside that demon poisoned heart of yours is a speck of truthfulness, loyalty, respect and kindness, you just have to realize what you're doing is wrong.
My body is my body, and yours is yours. Let's keep it like this.
