RAP MUSIC GLORIFYING DRUG USE!!!

Rap music is glamorizing drug use according to a study by researchers at the Universityof california, Berkeley, who found a six fold increase in drug references in songs over the past two decades.

 “Positive portrayals of drug use have increased over time and drug references increased overall,” study author Denise Herd, associate deam of students at the School of Pblic Health, said in a prepared statement. 

 “This is an alarming trend, as a rap artists are role models for the nation’s youth, especially in urban areas. Many of these young people are already at risk and need to get positive mesages from the media,” Herd said.

 She and her colleagues analyzed 341 lyrics frm he most popular rap songs between 1979 and 1997. During that time, references to drugs increased six fold, and there was an increase in songs featuring positive attitudes toward drugs and the consequences of drug use, and an increase in references of drug use to signify glamour, wealth and sociability. In types of drugs mentioned in rap songs.

 Of the 38 most popular rap songs between 1979 and 1984, only 4 (11%) contained drug references. By the late 1980s, that increased to 19% and by 1993, to 69%.

 These findings indicate “a shift from cautionary songs, such as those that emphasized the dangers of cocaine and crack, to songs that signify the use of marijuana and the drugs as part of a desirable hiphop lifestyle, “ Herd said.

 For example, she noted that references to cough medicine abuse in lyrics from Southwestern groups performing an underground RAP GENRE called “Screw Music” may be linked to high numbers of houston teens abusing codeine-laced cough syrup.

 “Rap music is like CNN for black teens. But much of what is discussed in rap is in code. The kids unerstand, but parents don’t,” said Herd, who recommended parents monitor ther children’s music and learn about the terms used in popular songs.

 The study was published in the April issue of Addictio Reseach & Theory.

 Earlier research by Herd found that alcohol use in increasingly glorified in RAP MUSIC.

Bobong pinoy

--ang istorya ng puta

Tingin ng mga bobong kapitbahay ko puta daw ako. Nagpapagamit,
binabayaran. Sabi nila ako daw ang pinakamaganda at pinakasikat sa
aming lugar noon. Ang bango-bango ko daw, sariwa at makinis. Di ko nga
alam kung sumpa ito, dahil dito naletse ang kinabukasan ko.
Tara makinig ka muna sa kwento ko, yosi muna tayo.
Alam mo, maraming lumapit sa akin, nagkagusto, naakit. Ang hirap pag
lahat sa iyo virgin eh. Tinanggap ko naman silang tao, bakit kaya nila
ako ginago? Masakit alalahanin, iniisip ko na lang na kase di sila
taga rito, siguro talagang ganoon. Tatlong malilibog na foreigners ang
namyesta sa katawan ko, na-rape daw ako. Sa tatlong beses akong
nagahasa, ang pinakahuli ang di ko makakalimutan. Parang maski di ko
ginusto ang mga nangyari, hinahanap-hanap ko siya. Tinulungan nya kasi
akong makalimutan yung mga sadistang Hapon. Kase, ibang-iba ang hagod
niya. Umiikot ang mundo ko sa tuwing ginagamit niya
ako. Ibang klase siya mag-sorry, lalo pa at kinupkop niya ako at ang
mga naging anak ko. Parating ang dami naming regalo - may chocolates,
yosi, ano ka! May datung pa! Nakakabaliw siya, alam kong ginagamit nya
lang ako pero pagamit naman ako nang pagamit. Sa kanya namin natutunan
mag-inggles, di lang magsulat ha! Magbasa pa! Hanggang ngayon, sa
tuwing mabigat ang problema ko, siya ang tinatakbuhan ko. 'Yun nga
lang, lahat ng bagay may kapalit. Nung kinasama ko siya, guminhawa
buhay namin. Sosyal na sosyal kami. Ewan ko nga ba, akala ko
napapamahal na ako sa kanya. Akala ko tuloy-tuloy na kaligayahan namin,
yun pala unti-unti niya akong pinapatay. P*** ng I**! Sa dami ng lason
na sinaksak niya sa katawan ko, muntik na akong malaspag. Ang daming
nagsabi na ang tanga tanga ko. Patalsikin ko na daw. Sa tulong ng mga
anak ko, napalayas ko ang animal pero ang hirap magsimula. Masyado na
kaming nasanay sa sarap ng buhay na naranasan namin sa kanya. Lubog na
lubog pa kami sa utang, kulang ata pati kaluluwa namin para
ibayad sa mga inutang namin. Sinikap naming lahat maging maganda ang
buhay namin. Ayun, mga nasa
Japan, Hong Kong, Saudi ang mga anak ko. Yung iba nag-US, Europe.
'Yung iba ayaw umalis sa akin. Halos lahat, wala naman silbi, masaya
daw sa piling ko, maski amoy usok ako.
Sa dami ng mga anak ko na nagsisikap na tulungan ang kalagayan namin,
siya din ang dami ng mga anak ko na namamantala sa kabuhayan at kayaman
na itinatabi ko para sa punyetang kinabukasan naming lahat. Dumating
ang panahon na di na kami halos makaahon sa hirap ng buhay. Napakahirap
dahil nasanay na kami sa ginhawa at sarap. Ang di ko inaakala ay
mismong mga anak ko, ang tuluyang sisira sa akin. Napakasakit tanggapin
na malinlang. Akala ko ay makakakita ako ng magiging kasama sa buhay sa
mga ahas na ipinakilala ng mga anak ko. Hindi pala. Ang tanga ko talaga.
Binugaw ako ng sarili kong mga anak kapalit ng kwarta
at pansamantalang ginhawa na nais nilang matamasa. Wala na akong nagawa
dahil sa sobrang pagmamahal ko sa aking mga anak. Wala akong ibang yaman
kundi ganda ko. Pinagamit ko na lang ng pinagamit ang sarili ko, basta
maginhawa lang ang mga anak ko. Usap-usapan ako ng mga kapitbahay ko.
May nanghihinayang, namumuhi at naaawa. Puta na kase ang isang
magandang tulad ko.
Alam mo, gusto ko na sanang tumigil sa pagpuputa kaso ang laki talaga
ng letseng utang ko eh. Palaki pa ng palaki. Kulang na kulang. Paano
na lang ang mga anak ko naiwan sa aking punyetang puder? Baka di na ako
balikan o bisitahin ng mga nag-abroad kong mga anak. Hindi na importante
kung laspagin man ang ganda ko, madama ko lang ang pagmamahal ng mga
anak ko. Malaman nila na gagawin ko ang lahat para sa kanila. Sa tuwing
titingin ako sa salamin, alam ko maganda pa rin ako. Meron pa din ang
bilib sa akin. Napapag usapan pa din. Sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mukha
ko sa salamin, nakikita ko ang mga anak ko. Tutulo na lang ang
mga luha ko ng di ko namamalayan. Ang gagaling nga ng mga anak ko,
namamayagpag kahit saan sila pumunta. Mahusay sa kahit anong gawin.
Tama man o mali. Proud ako sa kanila. Kaso sila, kabaligtaran ang
nararamdaman para sa akin. Sa dami ng mga anak ko, iilan lang ang may
malasakit sa akin. May malasakit man, nahihilaw. Ni di nga ako
kinikilalang ina. Halos lahat sila galit sa isa't isa. Walang gusto
magtulungan, naghihilahan pa. Ang dami ko ng pasakit na tiniis pero
walang sasakit pa nung sarili kong mga anak ang nagbugaw sa akin.
Kinapital ang laspag na ganda ko. Masyado silang nasanay sa sarap ng
buhay. Minsan sa pagtingin ko sa salamin, ni hindi ko na nga kilala
sarili ko.
Dadating na naman ang pasko, sana maalala naman ako ng mga anak ko.
Isang buwan pa, magbabagong taon na. Natatakot ako sa taong darating.
Ngayon pa lang usap usapan na ang susunod na pagbubugaw ng ilan sa mga
anak ko. Sana may magtanggol naman sa akin, ipaglaban naman nila ako.
Gusto kong isigaw:
"INA NINYO AKO! MAHALIN NYO NAMAN AKO!"
Sige, dumadrama na ako. Masisira na ang make up ko nito eh. Salamat ha,
pinakinggan mo ako.
Ay sorry, di ko nasabi pangalan ko.
""Pilipinas"" nga pala.

FRIENDSHIP SAVIOUR (How to be a hero in ur friend/s)

I juz want to share 2 u guiz...

Friendship Saviour

by Adam hart

Mark was walking home from school one day when he noticed the boy ahead of him had tripped and dropped all of the books he was carrying, along with two sweaters, a baseball bat, a glove and a small tape recorder. Mark knelt down and helped the boy pick up the scattered articles.

Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry part of the burden. As they walked Mark discovered the boy's name was Bill, that he loved video games, baseball and history, and that he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.

They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then Mark went home.

They continued to see each other around school, had lunch together once or twice, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years.

Finally the long-awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk. Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn't want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mothers sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more, you saved my life."

SECRETLY LOVING...

Love is a very complicated thing

sumtyms the more unacceptable the relationship

the romantic it is

The most beautiful thing is not exposing it to everyone!!

What is the feeling of secretly loving??

True love is like spirits everyone's talking about it

But no one has ever experienced it

but even if it hasn't happened

doesn't mean it doesn't exist..

What I've Learned About Friendship

I've learned that there are many good friends around, but true best friends are hard to come by.

• I've learned that sometimes you love a best friend more than a boyfriend.

• I've learned that a best friend is more important than a boyfriend.

• I've learned that you can do something or nothing with a best friend and still have the best time.

• I've learned that a true friendship has many memories, both good and bad, but all important.

• I've learned that sometimes the most used part of a best friend is the shoulder you cry on, and the shoulder you are willing to lend.

• I've learned that when a best friend is happy, you find yourself happy too, even when it has nothing to do with you.

• I've learned that the only one who truly understands is a true friend.

• I've learned that nothing ever sounds stupid, funny, or unbelievable to a best friend, and you never feel stupid saying whatever it is.

• I've learned that sometimes it feels like a best friend is the only one who will ever care about you and think you are beautiful in your own way.

• I've learned that you always have that something extra to give to a best friend in need, and can count on that in return.

• I've learned that your heart is forever touched by a true friend, no matter how things end up.

• I've learned that when your heart has been broken, a best friend is the best band-aid for it.

• I've learned that a best friend will call you in the middle of the night to talk without thinking, and it's OK.

• I've learned that in many cases, a hug and a kind word from a best friend is the only thing that helps get you through the day.

• I've learned that a best friend would stick up for you no matter what the consequences are.

• I've learned that best friends can sing at the top of their lungs and not worry about singing the wrong words or being out of tune.

• I've learned that best friends stay up all night and on the phone for hours talking without even realizing it.

• I've learned that a best friend can tell the difference between a silly crush, and more than that.

• I've learned that sometimes a best friend is all you have.

• I've learned that sometimes you wonder how she knew, but then you realize that's just how close you are.

• I've learned that when you are true best friends, everyone else knows it.

• I've learned that, most importantly of all, best friends will always be best friends, no matter what is happening in their lives, where they are, or what they are doing. A best friend is irreplaceable. This is the most important thing I could have ever been taught by a best friend.

FRIENDSHIP OATH

"By accepting the responsibility of being your friend, I promise to be honest and trustworthy. I will try to work out any differences or conflicts that we may have and will try to put the time and effort into our friendship that it requires. I know we both have work (or school), family, and personal obligations, and we will respect each other’s other relationships and commitments, but I will also be committed to this friendship. I will try to only give advice if it’s asked and I will also try to be your friend, unconditionally. I will keep your confidences. However, I will also share with you if it is my policy to never keep anything from my spouse or any other primary relationship, with whom I entrust all my secrets. I will try to remember your birthday and be there for you when times are tough and when times are grand. Making time to talk, communicate by mail or e-mail, or getting together is a priority. I will celebrate your achievements even though I know a tiny bit of envy or competitiveness is normal. I will bring fun and joy to your life as much as I am able to as I cherish our past, present, and future friendship."

CRYING WITHOUT TEARS

Every time I wake up, it sems like a lovely, striking, fresh day for me. I feel every smiles surround me. Every air embraces me. I always see my friends which gives me unmarked greetings. I’m with my new school now, with new friends and new experiences. I’m also with my former classmates in elementary who can catch me whenever I fall from my failures and I always expect them the encouragements that they will give me.

           One day, my friend called my phone and brought me news. It was a dark night that she whispered: It’s (friendship) over, and I don’t want you to be friend anymore somewhat I do not know. I choked and am unspoken. My atmosphere turned into black and the droplets of the ogle fell into the ground. I love my friends and they are important to me even some people might say. At that moment, I asked myself “why people need to say goodbye once they cannot hold on to something until the end”. That is not the only problem that I had. Then the rest became quiet and hushed. Then in a flash, I thought of my other best friend.

                                                                                                                                                           

The next morning when I woke up, it was not the usual morning that I began. The deep carriage full loads continually stuck to my head. I only knew one person who can help me feel better, comfort me for a unique mode, my best friend – Sky. I so called her Sky because of something that is different in my feelings. She is an energetic, cheerful one and always in high spirits. I came to their house one heartrending morning with my scowl face. I saw her. I began to talk to her with my normal voice that she cannot guess that I am in nuisance but she treated me in an unusual way that I was not able to understand why and left her all by myself. Until I reached our school room, I became silent at all that would give me a peace of mind. I don’t have yet close friends in my new school that can talk with. I was trying to talk to her but she didn’t give me any reply. “Why is this so?” I asked myself, “my special friend left me without any suitable reason and then here it comes again with my best friend”. I want to be rebelled with her but I still hold on to our long childhood friendship which I thought it was inseparable. I sensed she quitted from being my best friend because it was so easy for her to have modern friends than the older one and left me without any words to say. I always asked “why?” I’m doing everything just to get it back until my heart and mind became weary and my butt was whole time parked waiting for the respond.

                                                                                                                                                               

          Every night, I weep inaudibly, without any knowledge of people that I do that – especially her. But, were the tears worthy for? I always say sorry for her and sorry for myself but what was that sorry for? I can not simply imagine the mistake happened expect one. That is, I let this incident change me.

I try to find a new long lasting friendship but until now I can’t.  It is because I treasured it so much that no one can get and imitate. Expected or unexpected situation for both of us, still, it is an experience that would never be lost.
