Era Longman wiggled her toes over the edge, feeling the expanse below her. Her face was covered in tear streaks, dirt and just a little bit of blood from where her father had hit her.
The height began to weigh on her so she backed up a few inches and shivered from a breeze that swept over her skin. Era sniffed and wiped a fresh tear from her eye. She had been out a night and a day without food, water or shelter. She stood at the northern end of the forest, not where the road was, but to the east of that, where she could stand from a cliff and see the lights if the city. There were extra lights on this night for it was the night of the harves

Skinny is the New Beautiful...
This is something that I have been feeling for a while, people appreciate someone being skinny more than them being beautiful. If you go on an image search site and put in fat, some of these "fat girls" are healthy size. They are not completely flat stomached, and have not stick-like arms. The women in the "fat" category have curves. HEALTHY curves!!! Although this does not bother me that much, this is a fact that does:
Last year, size 16 was in the Large section and 18 was the beginning of XL (in America at least)
This year, 16 is XL and 18 is 1XL

First of all, I would like to say thank you to all of the people who have helped me over the years. Now, onto my speech:
A few months ago, I had the privilege to read the short story version of Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes. In this story, Charlie Gordon writes a type of diary of his experiences. Charlie is a man with very low intelligence and through a scientific experiment, his IQ triples, making him a genius. Later in the story, after Charlie’s intelligence reaches its peak, it then plummets. Now, I only remember this vaguely, but my mother tells me that I bawled my eyes out, like many people do when they read this book, bu
