"Friends"



What happened to our “circle of friends? ”
We are breaking connections, and forging new ones
Why must we break connections, to make new ones?
A few of us are left who manage to make new bonds
While desperately holding on to the friendships we know
There is something wrong with this picture
We should not be blowing each other off
We should not be pushing each other away
There is a way
To hold on to “old friends”
(Without them ever becoming old)
All of us need to learn how to make new connections
To the people around us without burning any bridges
For that is how we keep our connections
We must keep those bridges up
For bridges is the way to travel back across trepid waters

Narrative w/ song lyrics

This song is called “Replay” and it’s about a guy that has this girl stuck in his head
“shawtys like a melody in my head that I cant get keep out got me singing like na na na everyday its like my iPod stuck on replay”
“Remember the first time we met, you was at the mall wit yo friend
I was scared to approach ya
But then you came closer hopin you would give me a chance
Who would have ever knew that we would be more than friends”
So they ended up together after all
“shawtys like a melody in my head that I cant get keep out got me singing like na na na everyday its like my iPod stuck on replay”
He keeps thinking of her and he says that she changed his life and wants to make her his wife.
I really like this part:
“I can be your melody
A girl I could write you a symphony
The one that could fill your fantasies
So come baby girl lets sing with me “
“shawtys like a melody in my head that I can’t get keep out got me singing like na na na everyday its like my iPod stuck on replay”
He really can’t get her off his mind, it seems like if he really like her and he wants her

Expository esay

Child abuse is defined as a variety of abnormal behaviors directed against children. Child abuse in general is a psychological problem. Physical abuse of children is defined as excessive intentional physical injury to a child or excessive corporal punishment of a child. Torture, beatings, and assault of children are obvious forms of physical abuse. Corporal punishment by parents is subject to evaluation and interpretation. In general, spanking with a hand and other forms of mild physical punishment that do not leave any marks are considered within the realm of parental discretion. Punishment that leads to marks that last for more than a few minutes can be interpreted as abuse, regardless of intention. The use of any objects to hit a child other than with your open hand is wrong. Includes belts, paddles, sticks, or any other object. A family tradition of beatings or the fact that the parent was subjected to physical abuse is not an acceptable excuse for severe injury to a child.
Excessive physical discipline is harmful and dangerous to children. Small children can be killed by relatively minor acts of physical violence for example: shaking, dropping, or throwing the child against hard surfaces. Any severe beating with an object, forceful shaking, submersion in hot water, intentional burning, and other forms of intentional infliction of pain are inappropriate and criminal behaviors.
