The Jena 6

I live in Louisiana and I'm also a junior in high school. and I'm an African American person.
I'm seriously outraged at all of this CRAP!
My mother always told me you have no control over the actions of others. I'm makes me so mad that this has gotten so much publicity.They committed a crime. 6 guys jumped 1 guy. That was wrong and unfair. They deserve to be punished for that. But going as far as calling the fight 2nd degree attempted murder or whatever else is just wrong. The hurt teen went to the hospital, got some stitches and then went to a school dance, obviously he wasn't that hurt at all. i say make them do maybe 6 months, or community service.
This should never have become a race issue, and that is what truly upsets me. Because white kids hung nooses, black kids rioted, white kids made jokes and ubsence comments, black kids jumped 1 white kid.
The black students should have just sucked it up. That was the white kids hangout place, I bet the black kids would've been mad or angry and also retaliated had the white kids say at their hangout. I'm not defending the actions of anyone, but get over it, and find a different spot, when you do stupid crap like that of course its going to cause issues. Just stop the fucking drama!

and thats all i got to say

im just really tired

but no like physically tired, I'm getting enough sleep and everything else but I'm just so tired of everything. My life, my friends, the way things are going right now. I'm not truly happy, i cant remember the last time i was really happy, its been so long. I feel like its putting a strain on me and everything else is being affected. I'm starting to feel myself slowly but surely withdraw from everything and everyone. I'm so tired of putting on a front or facade. its too timeconsuming and its sucking the life out of me. I just wish i could be complelty happy but i know thats impossible. As soon as something is going good and right, something bad has to happen. But thats life. Friends. haha. thats a word right there, Nobody understands what im going through, except maybe Brittni, and she lives oh so far away. ican't confide in anyone, because honestly i just dont feel like having to build that trust up with a person, just to have them stab you in the back. Even people you think are your freinds, really arent. They forget about you when someone or soemthing better comes along. And so ive complelty given up on trust, love, bestfriends and alll that other crapppppp. BYEEEEEEEEE
