There isn't just one guy that makes it, there is a whole team. There are all types of movies you can make such as horror, comedy, romance and other genres. Movies take a lot of time to make because the directors want to make them as perfect as possible. In most movies, there are two people who fall in love with each other but they always start off as not knowing each other somehow. In some movies, there are good parts and there are bad parts. For example, in horror movies, there is rising action which is the part when you see the bad parts happen. Then, there is the falling action which is the part when everything is getting resolved but stuff happens that can't be replaced. In some movies there is a bad person and a good person. Some movies have bad people because they want to have some action in the movie so people won't get bored of that movie and leave or give them a bad rating. Some movies that are action or romantic always want to give you a little bit of comedy. You don't want to have a boring romantic movie with just love. You should put some funny parts in it so people will like it. But if you want to make an action movie that is funny, you should look at the movie called “Furious 7.” That movie has a lot of funny parts but is still full of action. In some movies there are important parts in the scenes that change everything in the movie that you thought didn't matter, but it actually did matter. Like in the last Transformers movie, they got Megatron's head where they had some of his knowledge into Lockdown’s brain to supposedly make him smarter but it ended up in catastrophe. In most cases some movies should have a quote or a speech at the end like the Transformer movies. That movie always has quote at the end. And that is how you can make the best movie possible. (Image via Google) Love? By Anonymous Love, love, love. Isn't it great? The connection and all the happy moments shared with one another but then everything starts going downhill and love isn't so great anymore. Now see in my opinion love sucks and is unnecessary. Love isn't real. Some people might think otherwise but that's my opinion. Let me start off with asking the question, what is love? Love means different things to different people. For example to a physicist it's just chemistry, this information was found on theguadian.com but when I asked my classmates they told me stuff like it’s when you're happy to see someone or when you care for someone. If love is a different meaning to everyone then how do we know the real meaning? What if that feeling people get is just lust not love? Like come on think about it shouldn't it just have one meaning to everyone? 43% of people on debate.com believe that love isn't real and 57% do. 43% is almost half of the people. Why do we love? What is the point of loving one another? In an article from 2knowmyself.com it says, “If you are single or currently not in a relationship then your mind will always be on a hunt for your long awaited partner.” So we basically don't love to love we love because we don't like the feeling of being alone. Love doesn't even last forever. It can last weeks, months, and sometimes and only sometimes it lasts a couple of years but eventually the “love” you feel will die. So does it actually last ? On psychology.com it says, “If love is a fever, then it has to die down eventually- right? Even our English language suggests that romantic love is brief. If you ‘fall’ in love, then I guess at some point you stand up and dust yourself off.” Love is just a distraction no matter if it's only a week or months or years, it's just a waste. The biggest question and the most important in my opinion is, how do we know we are in love? How do we? How do we know we are in love if no one actually knows the true meaning of love? On the same website it says you know you are in love if you are addicted to each other and you want your friends and family to like this person. Let me start off with you never know if that person you're crazy for isn't crazy about you and he or she just don't feel the same or if your friends and family don't like this person. If they don't like this person it's for a reason. Love isn't to be trusted. All it does is hurt you even though love is supposed to be the greatest thing in the world. Love is just a waste of time and the thing you should focus on is school because you need an education. You don’t need love to survive. You don't need love at all. Love is just a block in the road and it's just better to stay away from it. Well, that’s from my experience. So, is love still great? EDM(Electronic Dance Music) Helps By Andrea Orozco EDM has lots of famous DJ’s such as the king of Techno, Tiesto. Tiesto was the first DJ ever to win a Grammy and he was DJ of the Year for three years straight. Some other DJ’s are Armin Van Buuren, Hardwell, Martin Garrix, Felix jaehn, Calvin Harris, David Guetta, The Chainsmokers, Zedd, Alesso, Avicii etc.. Some songs that they have made are “Secrets” by Tiesto, “Survivors” by Hardwell, “Heroes” by Alesso, “How Deep is Your Love” by Calvin Harris, “Animals” by Martin Garrix. There are lots of meanings in each song that is created by every DJ. I have heard of lots of cases that show that kids who are bullied turn to EDM because every second of every song makes them feel alive and free. On the website Psychology Today, I read that many people said that their experience at a concert of EDM: “For the rest of the night we heard nothing but the music. The energy that surrounded us was electric, we had no option but to dance, dance, dance. The combination between the music and movement was euphoric.” In EDM there are songs for every type of mood. Even if you're sad, it cheers you up. The way it cheers you up is that you could be anywhere at any time and start listening to it and automatically start to feel the joy pop out from inside of you. It makes you forget about all your problems and for once in life, it makes you feel invincible. (Image via Youredm.com) Tanise Moore DANGERS! November 13th, 2015 Getting pregnant at a young age can have an effect on the baby itself. Babies Teen Pregnancy in the womb may not always be fully developed. That usually happens because the teenagers are not always fully developed themselves. Later on in the child's life they might have a disorder. HOW IT IS CAUSED Teen Pregnancy is often caused when two teenagers have sexual relations without using protection or thinking. It (image via vaccineliberationarmy) may not always be the girl or boy who want to do this. It can be caused by peer RATES pressure or can happen in a form of Each year, nearly 750,000 teens give rape. When teens get pregnant, they birth in the United States. In 2013, usually don't think of how that can affect Mexican-Americans had the most teen their future. The most common thing to pregnancies with 22,597 births, then happen after teens get pregnant is that Whites with 3,889 births, then African- they end up raising a child on their own. Americans with 2,636 births, then Indians with 1,032 births and Asian- Americans had the least teen pregnancies with 365 births. 30,505 teens gave birth in California that year. WHAT SHOULD THEY DO WITH THE BABY? No matter what, in my opinion, the parents should keep the baby because they took the time to create it so they (image via polyvore) should take care of it. Giving the baby up can leave the parents with so much guilt as life goes on.
