COMMUNITY CORNER - ADVERTISING YOUR EVENTS HERE

Hey Reader,

Here in Community Corner is where I usually list information on where you can get services like free or low cost medical care, help with free food to help you and your family get through tough financial crisis. But I also list fun community activities for you and your family to attend. I will blog about your local yard sales, Book Sale events at your local library as well. So, you see, in Community Corner column of my blog, I write just about anything to keep you connected! I provide the dates, times, places and other vital information to keep you in the loop.

Readers, I want to encourage you to send me your event information, because Blog Pages, SUCH AS MINE, are read all over the world And you never know who it may reach or what positivity they may get form what you write! With that, that this is also a place where you yourself can contact me and have things listed here as well. So if you are hosting or know of an event that you would like for me to post herein this column, feel free to let me know by e-mailing me at meetta@hotmail.com

In the subject line of your e-mail, write "For Ms. Meetta's blog" and I will receive your information. I welcome the chance to be of that kind of assistance to you.

Reader, please know that I understand, not all events in our lives are happy ones. I will list those too, in the way of Death Announcements and funeral arrangements as well as birth announcements. So,if you have any special event you want to share with others and you have a healthy respect for what my blog page is about, then this is for you! I open up this site to you, as a source that you not only can GET information from, but a source that you can PUT INFORMATION into as well.

TEen SPeAk-Troubled Teens, Pt. 2

TROUBLED TEENS; continued.

Concluding with tips B through E. Remember,Parents, Guardian, Concerned Adults, there is SO MUCH information out there and this is only a small portion. This is some information from a local hospital. Hope it helps to re-iterate or teach you new information. Meetta

B. WHAT YOU CAN LOOK FOR

Once you understand the feelings behind teen troubles you can watch for the danger signal. Among them:

- Hyperactivity or other behavior changes.

-Isolation, mood swings or depression.

-Discipline problems and low grades.

-Weight Loss.

-Frequent borrowing or missing money in the household.

-Drug paraphernalia.

*Some traits, such as increased independence and new interests, are natural for the age. You can develop a sensitivity to your child's individual traits. Then you can keep communication open.

C.) THE SUICIDE MYTH

Some people believe that if a person believe that if a person talks about suicide, he won't do it. THIS IS UNTRUE! You need to take suicide threats seriously.

Trouble may be brewing if your teen talks or writes about suicide or if he or she is greatly saddened by the loss of a friend, the death of a family member or the breakup of a romance. Other warning signs are:

-Sudden personality changes.

Is your teen unnecessarily or unduly angry, tearful, clinging or irrational?

-A growing fear of failure in school or elsewhere.

-Indications that he or she is giving things or making a will.

- Avoidance of friends and social activities.

- Self-abusive behavior.

- Preoccupation with death or an obsessive fear that nuclear war or some other major earthly catastrophe may be imminent.

C. WHAT TO DO

If in doubt, ask your teen if he or she is going through a crisis, or is entertaining thoughts of suicide. Your care and love are critical. Often, the teen does not see suicide as final. In a time of stress, a desperate young person may somehow see death as a temporary escape from pain, RATHER THAN the irreversible step that it is. * PEOPLE! SUICIDE, (DEATH)...is a permanent solution to a very painful, BUT temporary problem! Hang in there teens, it may take awhile, but the hurt that you feel NOW, WILL eventually GO AWAY,just keep LIVING! TRUST ME ON THIS. YOU are the victor! LOVE, Meetta

D. USE YOUR RESOURCES

Many families face teen troubles. You and your teenager can move through difficult periods more easily if you take advantage of the expert resources available. Many list 24-hour help lines in the telephone directory.

A message from Ms. Meetta to the Teens & Young people.

Take care young people!

You are valuable! Oh, so valuable.

The next generation needs to leave the world in your very capable, powerful, creative, genius hands.

YOU HAVE TO BE AROUND to cleanup the mess we made!

What would the world ever do without you and the gifts you have?

Stay Strong.

"INSPIRATION STATION":

Sister Girl part 1

a POEM BY Meetta

Females of all ages, races, creeds and cultures!

I hereby pronounce you ALL, my SISTER GIRLS!

No matter that we are not related!

No matter that we have never met!

We are all united in humanity!

So, with that behind me, let me begin!

You will come to understand as of yet.

Females are beautiful, creative, intelligent, formidable beings to be reckoned with.

Yet, we take SO MUCH off of the other gender AND we put so much upon each other...women!

Hey! Hey you say!

Sister Girls, you don't understand yet?

Let me put it this way...

There are many life lessons that each of us has learned or have yet to learn.

Women, we should share, especially with the girls who don't know this stuff yet.

On the other hand, I know some women my age and older who don't know much either!!

Take for example these situations:

Sister Girls, your man is cheating, but to the other woman you give the beating.

YOUR MAN knows what he has at home!

So, why is the other woman the only one who is wrong?

Sister Girls, follow me now, I'm moving on.

You have been shacking up with a man, no wedding in sight.

Playing house every day and night.

He has 3 children by two other women, including the one you had with him.

You stick by his side even though YOU KNOW his other kids,

he DOES NOT really take care of them!

He lets his $50.00 a month child support check,

a few sets of clothes per year and The Friend Of The COURT

sort it out! What kind of man is he?

Sister, still you player-hate the other babies because you don't want to face the fact that you were not his only lady.

WAke UP BABY!

What do you think he did before you met him?

Anyway, I just do not understand why you player-hate the babies?

What kind of woman ARE YOU to be with a man who WON'T

take care of his kids the right way?

Suppose he dumps YOUR BABY?!

sISTER gIRLS...

Some of us out here just don't understand.

We just don't get it!

Some of us want a man so bad...

we'll take him anyway we can get him!

(I say we, as support

because men tend to clump us all together anyway... WOMEN!)

Part 2 of Sister Girls TO BE CONTINUED ON NEXT WEEKS COLUMN...STAY TUNED

The JOB SWAP: For Employers and Employment Seekers

is to help is to help someone else. Fruitful people often give to get, but it is nice to give just to give!

First entry to my new job swap post is for Michiganders or wanna be Michiganders.
(Those who may be thinking of moving to Michigan)and need help finding employment). JOB SWAP partakers, I desire much success in your employment endeavors.
Ssincerely, Meetta
