stress as a child!

As a child growing up, I had to deal with being overwieght.  It was so hard going to school everyday and knowing that you were going to get picked on because you were bigger then everyone else in the classroom.  This went on for my entire school career.  It was very hard to deal with everyday but I got through it.  Somedays I do not konw how, but I did.  I did end up becoming a cheerleader and a basketball player in high school.  It was my true passion and got made fun of all the time, but I continued in the sports for two years.  Until I let it all get the best of me and quit everything.  To this day I still regret giving in and leting them win! But I can only grow from this experience and try to become a better and more confident person. 

I am not looking at other countries for because I feel that we as Americans have a big problem with students in our school system getting picked on for any reason.  I think that it is getting out of control because children are taking there lives because of it.  That is truly said and the problem needs to be addressed and find a way to fix it and help these students! According to abc news in 2010 in America's schools, with at least 14 students committing suicide in the past year alone. This is sad!

Breastfeeding

I think that breastfeeding os very important.  Mothers do not do it often because they have to work and it is very inconvenent.  I think that employers should help new mothers when they breastfeed and make it eaiser on them.  If they did that then it more mothers would turn to breast feeding. 
I think that China has the best policy in best feeding because they help out new mothers and give them extra breaks and time to breast feed through out the day at work.

birthing experience

My birthing experience is when my son was born.  I will have another birthing experience in July when I have my second child.  There is no words that can explain when you have a child.  It is wonderful and everyone should experience it!
