Do you remember an adult figure in your life ever teaching you how to deal with a bully? They would always say "the best way to get rid of a bully is to ignore them." I think that is the biggest pile of crap someone has ever tried to feed me.
Before you go and get all mad about how I just took a shot at one of the biggest pieces of advice we were given as kids, please allow me to explain myself. Yes, the occasional verbal insult from an insignificant person is something we can easily ignore and then continue on with our lives. Minimal to moderate verbal bullying is something that we can brush off. This is high school, it's something we've taught ourselves (I hope) to put up with. What about extreme verbal bullying? People say that if you ignore a bully eventually they'll get tired of teasing you and move on. Now, maybe I just have bad luck, but I've rarely experienced a situation where this is true. To me (because I am a very prideful person), extreme verbal bullying is worse than even physical bullying. I've found that words can hurt far more than fists (I'm ashamed to admit that I have used this to my advantage) in some cases, and I think I can easily say that it sucks. Being degraded by another human being really, truly, and forever will suck. Does this make me a hypocrite? Probably, and I wish people would call me out when I say things that are truly mean, because I'm too narrow minded to realize when I say it.
Better question: What if the person bullying you is you? Has a teacher or parent taught you how to deal with the bullying that comes from yourself? Can you truly ever ignore yourself? I know I can't. I frequently tell myself things like "you're annoying," "your friends are only hanging out with you to be nice," or, my favorite (sarcasm) "your friends are getting sick of you because you're so annoying, and only stay around you because they're too nice to ditch you." When it comes to me, I am by far my own biggest bully. I constantly put myself down and tell myself I'm not good enough for something. If you haven't experienced that... let me tell you, fighting against yourself... now THAT sucks. It hurts more than any punch or hurtful word you could receive from another person. If you have experienced this before, please know that you are by no means alone. One thing I've found that helps me stay positive is to make a list of ten things I genuinely like about myself. The list can consist of anything. My love for music, my awesome friends, and my can't give up attitude are all on my list. Keep this list in a place where it's easy to access and you'll see it every day (in your wallet, on your mirror, etc.). Those ten little items can make it so much easier for you to tell the bully inside of you to "shut the f*** up."

Things are going to change
Cheers to the new year everyone! I hope 2012 is treating you well so far, and I hope you're sticking to your resolutions if you've made them. That's actually what I decided to write about. With every new year people seem to make these "resolutions" about something in their life they're going to change, however people seldom stick to their resolution.
According to an article from Time Magazine titled "Top 10 Commonly Broken New Year's Resolutions" (I'll post the link at the end of the post, if you're interested in reading more) the top ten broken resolutions are:
1. Lose weight and get fit
2. Quit smoking
3. Learn something new (like a language... not just any random little thing)
4. Eat healthier and diet
5. Get out of debt and save money
6. Spend more time with family
7. Travel to new places
8. Be less stressed
9. Volunteer
10. Drink less
Now, because I am undoubtedly mainstream, I too have told myself that there are things that I will change about my life, some of them are even on the list of top ten broken resolutions. I hope beyond hope that I won't break these resolutions, because they are things that I think will allow me to live a happier life and benefits others. Fingers crossed.
Things I really want to accomplish in 2012 are as follows:
- I want to work on being a nicer person. I will be the first to admit that I am a sarcastic jerk 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time I'm sleeping. I really want to work on that. More for the benefit of others than for my own benefit (that's a nice thing to do, right?). Maybe smiling more will help.
- When it comes to food I want to eat healthier. While I'm not necessarily trying to "shed a few pounds" I've finally realized (after several bags of chips and tons of candy) that this is my body and I need to take care of it. Besides... carrots don't taste that bad.
- I need to start exercising. While I don't aspire to be a body builder (you can laugh at that, I did too) I would like to not look like a walrus this summer. No pain no gain, right?
- I will start posting on this blog more. I made the dang thing, I need to use it. So if you've been following along (bless you), here's me saying that hopefully I will start writing more.
- I'm going to start living my life for me. Pretty self explanatory. I'm no longer going to kiss the butt's of other people.
- I want to do more volunteer work to help those less fortunate than myself. I got to go package food to help feed starving kids with the most incredible youth group... ever. The feeling of knowing that you're going to make a positive difference in someone else's life is the most wonderful feeling ever. Volunteer work is such a pleasing thing, and I want to do more of it.
- I solemnly swear that I will spend more time with my friends (sorry, friends), because they're the coolest people in the world. Period.
- I'll start taking school seriously. I don't think anybody whines and complains about high school more than I do. I do admit that it's important, and I'm going to start working harder on getting better grades.
-I'm going to watch my language. Cursing like a sailor probably never helped me get anywhere in life (please not that there will be the occasional slip if, say, I stub my toe, cut myself, or get jumped by a gang of thugs).
Yes, I do realize that I just sat here and listed off things that I "promise" to do. If you're reading this, please feel free to remind me to do any of these things as soon as I neglect them. That would be super helpful. For example, whenever I cuss, please feel free to call me out on it and tell me to stop. Sometimes hearing something from another person instead of that little voice inside of your head can be good for you.
Well, here's to 2012. I hope this year is fantastic for all of you! Stay chill.

You and your boyfriend might be obnoxious if...
Remember how I said in my last blog that the "happy posts" would be scarce? Yeah, I wasn't kidding. I think I can speak for a large number of the student body when I say that there are a lot of really obnoxious couples at school.
Now, to be an obnoxious couple I believe you have to fall into one of two categories.
1. What I like to call the "Twilight" couple. Twilight couple basically means that they are like Edward and Bella. For those of you that haven't read Twilight (first off, lucky you) here's a synopsis in just a few short lines:
Bella: What? Edward's a vampire?
Edward: I watch you in your sleep.
Bella: How romantic! *proceeds to throw her entire life away for a vampire that wants to suck bodily fluids out of her body via her neck*
That is pretty much Twilight in a nut shell. While I'm not implying that the man in this particular form of relationship is wanting to suck his girlfriend's blood, per say, I am implying that these types of couples totally disregard the rest of the people in their lives and have eyes only for the person that they could potentially reproduce with. I have witnessed a lot of relationships like these (and if my very good friend reads this, he'll know I'm talking about him) and I can honestly say that this is easily the more obnoxious kind if you are friends with one or both of the people in the relationship.
Furthermore let me add that this type of relationship (while you might have a crazy sex drive now) is not socially healthy. Eventually your friends are going to be fed up with all of the testosterone fueled intimacy you've been displaying with your significant other and your friends are going to ditch you and find people that they actually can spend time with without wanting to punch a small child. Then when you break up with your so called "sweetheart/honey bunches of oats/bed buddy" (which almost always happens, except for the rare couple [like my parents]) you'll have no friends to go back to because you were dumb enough to live in the moment and think with your reproductive organs instead of your brain. Nice job. In the case of Twilight, Bella does in fact almost die from like 10 different people, one of which is her killer mutant demon baby spawn that she made with her BOYFRIEND.
2. The other category of "obnoxious couple" is the couple that I like to think of as the "Oh-my-God-I-can't-watch-them-for-fear-of-projectile-vomiting" couple. These couples, in my personal opinion, are on the completely opposite end of the spectrum. Their "love (lust)" is purely physical.They're not all lovey dovey with each other. They both just have one thing in common: a raging sex drive. These are the two kids you see in school who look like a pair of writing eels attached at the lips, and they look like they're trying to eat each others faces. You know what I'm talking about, because you probably go to public school, so you've seen it first hand unless you go through every passing period with a paper bag over your head. I feel like I need to apologize on behalf of these couples, because we all know they don't surface for air enough to get the breath required to form an apology themselves. So... sorry they're so gross.
Personally I find the first type of obnoxious couple more annoying... maybe that's just me. I know for a fact that you can be dating someone and still find a balance between your boy/girl friend and your other friends, because I happen to be really good friends with a lot of people who do just that. Honestly, people, let's keep it classy.
This has been the pissy third wheel, bidding you all good night.

Things I Like About High School
I figured that because I posted a list of things I hate about high school I should post the reasons that I still tell myself to get my butt out of bed every day and take the ten minute drive to endure pris- I mean education.
Here it is, the significantly shorter list of things I like about high school:
This is JewFro, signing off.
Yeah buddy.
Here it is, the significantly shorter list of things I like about high school:
- Orchestra. I love it about 90% of the time when people are putting forth an effort. I know we have the potential, so let's be kick butt this year, guys.
- I get to see my friends 5 days a week, plus whenever I see them on the weekends. That's nice... well... until the teach yells at us, but at least we can laugh about it later.
- We're at that age where we have some responsibility but not a ton, so we can still have fun.
- Because of high school I'm not working 8 hours a day 5 days a week.
- It seems like I'm always meeting new people, even if it's not necessarily people that go to school with me, when I go out with friends to places I seem to make new friends, and that's a good feeling.
- Watching the drama go down day after day get's pretty entertaining after a while.
- There isn't a better place to go people watching than in a school like LHS. Diversity provides free entertainment, and hey, I'm still getting an education, so it's all good.
- A lot of my teachers have been truly a gift and have helped me find what I'm interested in and what I'm not so good at.
- I FREAKING LOVE MY STUCO FAMILY. I would not sizzle like bacon for any other group of people at this school after they sing me happy birthday at a retreat. Not even the orchestra. Ain't no party like a StuCo party. Bring it districts, I'm ready to rock.
- Contest contest contest. I know a lot of people stress out about it but I love contest so much. It's the one time where it's ok to show off how hard you've worked. If I didn't have school I couldn't compete.
- In relation to the above reason, it's because of Liberty Public Schools that I fell in love with music in the first place. The teacher played Harry Potter on the viola and I knew that I was going to play that instrument.
- I know I already said my friends as a reason, but I don't think I have any other group of people that I love being around more. I have their back and I know they have mine.
- Math and AP Gov are a freaking riot every single day. Granted I hate being in average math, and I've hated my math classes since Freshmen year, I really actually like the people in math this year... there just isn't a work ethic. AP Gov though, let me tell you about AP Gov: I've never had a group of kids in one classroom that I've loved being around more than the people in my Government class. Old friends and new friends together just makes it the best way to end the day (even if the teacher did move us all around and mess the seating up).
- I'll admit it... some of the stuff I'm learning is interesting. Just some of it.
- Study hall might be the best think that has ever happened to me. Just sayin'.
This is JewFro, signing off.
Yeah buddy.

Chronicles of a High School Student: The Orchestra, the Coffee, and the Midterm
Despite past thoughts on how I thought this week was GOING to go, I can say I was completely wrong. For the record, that is absolutely a good thing.
List of reasons as to why I thought this week was going to suck:
1. I thought my life was slowly spiraling downwards
2. I thought our orchestra was going to be a hot mess at tonight's concert (sorry, but it's true, guys).
3. I have a freaking mid-term in AP Gov Thursday, among a multitude of other tests. FML.
List of things that actually didn't turn out as bad as I thought they would:
1. My life is actually climbing, maybe not rapidly, but I'm for sure moving upwards.
2. Our orchestra wasn't that bad today, and we weren't a hot mess. Winning.
List of things that I still think will suck:
1. Midterm midterm midterm. I finally got an A in AP Gov and I can slowly see it spiraling downwards. Oh dear.
I've reached a solution, though. I'm going to focus on the good things that happen this week.
Today, for instance, was a spectacular day.
For starters, it was late start Tuesday, which means I got to sleep in, so I wasn't half as cranky in the morning as I usually am. On top of that, my classes weren't that difficult today, which was a god-given miracle in itself (did I actually get an A on my government test? Whaaaaa'?). To further add on to things, I only worked for like a half hour because they didn't need me, and then I got to enjoy making music with the school orchestra and go with friends to get coffee afterwards.
Today was pretty much stellar, and at this point (which is about 10:15 at night, so maybe I'm just suffering from sleep deprivation, because this is late for me on a weekend) I'd be hard pressed to let anything ruin it, so I'm going to tackle these next three days head on and make the best of it, and kick this mid-term in the butt. Cheers to optimism.
SIDE NOTE:
My friend Jessyka Vernickas is doing a Zombie Walk, here are some details.
Date: October 27th
Time: 7 - 9 on the track at Liberty High School
Cost is three dollars to get in OR a donation of three non-perishable foods. The money will be donated to the Special Olympics, and the food will be donated to Harvesters.
This is a really good cause, and I think it would be super awesome if we could get as many people to participate and donate as possible. If you have any questions, I would talk to Jessyka, because this is her project.
Tyler, out.

Things I hate or don't understand about high school...
Here's the infamous list I told a lot of people I was creating.
A major thank you to my table in study hall, who helped me compose this.
If you liked this, could relate to it, or want to see more things about it, I highly suggest you follow @LibertyProblems on Twitter. I have no clue who it actually is, but they're freaking hilarious, yet brutally honest. Just like this list.
Now I present to you the list:

Now I present to you the list:
1. The kids with rolling backpacks. It takes up way too much space in the hallways and it’s really tacky. Let’s grow up.
2. The kids that full on SPRINT to class. You have time. I know you do because you don’t sit in the commons. I sit in the commons on occasion and I can still walk to class. Slowly.
3. Kids that drop the f-bomb or sound illiterate because they think it’s cool. It’s obnoxious.
4. Back street boy look alikes. Put away your “diamond” ear studs and skinny jeans unless you’re gay (possible) or possess the reproductive organs of a female (also possible?).
5. Stress. Yeah.
6. Crappy teachers. I will not name names but I know they exist.
7. It seems like we pass more STD’s to each other than compliments. Problem? Yes.
8. The mean kids that stand in front of your locker. I just want my Propel, don’t give me that look.
9. School in general.
10. Oh honey, you do NOT look good in a thong. Buy a belt.
11. School ID’s. It’s not like anybody wears them anyways, but please don’t EAT yours.
12. Having people who ask “how do you find the perimeter of a square?” in math. Yeah, true story.
13. You wore steel toe boots to school? Is that even comfortable?
14. Athletic shorts and polo shirts do not match. Ever.
15. People who can’t deal with sarcasm. Maybe you should be home schooled then.
16. Kids that laugh at the inside jokes of other people… even though they clearly don’t get them.
17. The sophomores (and non-sophomores) that stand in the middle of the hall way. MOVE.
18. “I’m so smart” syndrome. There’s a time and a place. This isn’t the time or place.
19. Being the middle man or awkward third wheel. It’s always me. Always.
20. People that come to school stoned or drunk. You got high at 7 in the morning?
21. Girls (and some guys) who try too hard to be hot and then fish for compliments. Stop.
22. There’s a difference between there, their and they’re. Look it up.
23. You seem to have lost your pants, because all I see you wearing is leggings.
24. I don’t want to hear your music if you have headphones in.
25. Waking up so early. Yuck.
26. Chain statuses. We get it, you all hate cancer. Do something about it because Ctrl + V isn’t nearly as helpful as Relay for Life.
27. The announcements. I’m sorry, what did you just say?
28. Using the intercom to make announcements during passing period. Nobody is paying attention to you, I promise.
29. “I’m such a stud” complex. No… you’re not. I swear.
30. The sophomore girls look the same. Tall, skinny, tan and blonde. Yay conformity.
31. When walking in the hallway, common courtesy says to stay on the right side.
32. Please don’t eat your boyfriends face. Cannibalism is frowned upon in society.
33. The sophomores that can’t drive.
34. People in love with their jobs. You really like smiling at rude people that much?
35. When people argue about things like: being gay, religion, etc. Chances are if the other person is willing to argue with you about it then they aren’t going to change their opinion on the subject.
36. Girls with promise rings who clearly aren’t virgins.
37. People who complain about their figure while they stand in line at the snack bar.
38. The water fountains are probably infested with STD’s.
39. There are no dividers between the bathroom urinals.
40. Smart is the new skinny. I don’t see why it’s such a big deal, but I’m sick of girls complaining about it.
41. People who complain about the new Facebook.
42. One word replies during text conversations.
43. 73x7 1!ng0 (text lingo)
44. Holding conversations while going to the bathroom. It’s really weird.
45. I miss every school fight.
46. Dumb isn’t hot. But if you really are dumb… well that’s unfortunate.
47. People who walk slow.
48. Everything here is old. Minus the paint job and painful seats.
49. Wearing a ton of camo to school. What are you hiding from?
50. People who tie their shoes in the middle of the hallway.
51. People who don’t bathe.
52. People who wear axe/perfume religiously. Especially if they think it takes the place of bathing. Axe + body odor = axe + body odor. In other words: WE STILL SMELL YOUR BODY ODOR.
53. When people rap the weather.
54. People that chew with their mouth open.
55. Relationship drama. You’re not Ronnie and Sam. Break up.
56. Girls who get a fake bake. Unless you’re the byproduct of Snooki and an Oompa-Loompa, you don’t need to be that shade of orange. You look like a Spicy Nacho Dorito.
57. Bathroom doors that don’t lock… that’s a bad situation.
58. When people step on your heals in the hallway.
59. Uggs and short shorts. Your feet are cold but your thighs are hot? What?
60. People that graduate early and constantly call themselves “seniors.” WE GET IT.
61. The couples that wear matching clothes. That’s creepy.
62. People that act like they are married. That’s freaking obnoxious.
63. Couples that are married on Facebook. You’re not ACTUALLY MARRIED.
64. Kids who say the test “wasn’t that hard” and then you get a C.
65. I will never apply the things I learn in math unless I’m a math teacher. Simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division should be just fine.

I'm new to blogging... cut me some slack
Name: Tyler
Hobbies: Music... Friends... that's it.
Mission: To entertain you all with blog posts that absolutely OOZE with sarcasm (that wasn't sarcasm, bee-tee-dubs). If you don't like it, well jokes on you because you've already read some of it.
So... here goes.
I am 100%, without a doubt, positive that I have NEVER blogged before. I'm telling myself that it's perfectly ok though, because I had to start somewhere, sometime, and somehow, and now is better than never. So I hope to God, Buddha, the big bang theory, or whatever, that you decide to follow along with these posts. I'm also 100%, without a doubt, positive that I will do my absolute best to make these blogs as attention getting as I can. I'm not sure what a blog is supposed to look like, or if it even has a set of guidelines when it comes to structure, but I plan to play it by ear.
In this blog you can expect me to do the following (and more):
- Rant (please note there will be a LOT of ranting, because I am, in case you hadn't guessed it, a teenager)
- Review (movies, products, whatever)
- Talk about my day
- Share interesting experiences (I go to high school, there will be plenty of those, honest to god)
- Etc. etc. ad astra ad infinitum forever and ever amen.
Let me say that I am warning you now: My life is somewhat of a roller coaster. The definition of a roller coaster (my personal definition, that is): A fun filled ride with ups and downs that sometimes makes you want to vomit.
So hang on tight, and enjoy the ride.
