CYBERBULLYING


Jessica Laney.. I did not know you but it breaks my heart to see you go out the way you did. Many people hearts break reading the news of your death. What breaks my heart even more is that Cyberbullying played a role in your death. To all of you out there that call people "fat" "loser" "ugly" etc STOP because believe it or not it can take a toll on someone, even if you are their friends and that is how you "joke around" DONT do it. There are so many teen suicides today due to bullying and depression because of bullying. I pray for those that are being bully to seek help before its to late. Dont think you are alone in this world, there are many people right here with loving arms ready to embrace you and help. And I pray for those who are doing the bullying to stop, no one deserves to take their life because of a bully's words! Cyberbullying is one of the worst types of bullying because it stays there and a person can re-read it over and over again. PLEASE think before you type next time! RIP Jessica Laney and all the other victims of bullying that took their life. I pray for comfort to blanket your friends and family in this time.

Wanna Give Up - Want Life To End?

Wanna kill yourself? Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell you dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying and sissy won’t wake up.” Your dad runs to your room. He looks at your mom, crying, holding the letter to her chest, sitting next to your lifeless body. It hits him, what’s going on, and he screams. He screams and throws something at the wall. And then, falling to his knees, he starts to cry. Your mom crawls over to him, and they sit there, holding each other, crying. The next day at school, there’s an announcement. The principal tells everyone about your suicide. It takes a few seconds for it to sink in, and once it does, everyone goes silent. Everyone blames themselves. Your teachers think they were too hard on you. Those mean popular girls, they think of all the things they’ve said to you. That boy that used to tease you and call you names, he can’t help but hate himself for never telling you how beautiful you really are. Your ex boyfriend, the one that you told everything to, that broke up with you.. He can’t handle it. He breaks down and starts crying, and runs out of the school. Your friends? They’re sobbing too, wondering how they could never see that anything was wrong, wishing they could have helped you before it was too late. And your best friend? She’s in shock. She can’t believe it. She knew what you were going through, but she never thought it would get that bad… Bad enough for you to end it. She can’t cry, she can’t feel anything. She stands up, walks out of the classroom, and just sinks to the floor. Shaking, screaming, but no tears coming out. It’s a few days later, at your funeral. The whole town came. Everyone knew you, that girl with the bright smile and bubbly personality. The one that was always there for them, the shoulder to cry on. Lots of people talk about all the good memories they had with you, there were a lot. Everyone’s crying, your little brother still doesn’t know you killed yourself, he’s too young. Your parents just said you died. It hurts him, a lot. You were his big sister, you were supposed to always be there for him. Your best friend, she stays strong through the entire service, but as soon as they start lowering your casket into the ground, she just loses it. She cries and cries and doesn’t stop for days. It’s two years later. Most of the kids from school to a counselor/therapist at least once a week. Your teachers all quit their job. Those mean girls have eating disorders now. That boy that used to tease you cuts himself. Your ex boyfriend doesn’t know how to love anymore and just sleeps around with girls. Your friends all go into depression. Your best friend? She tried to kill herself. She didn’t succeed like you did, but she tried…your brother? He finally found out the truth about your death. He self harms, he cries at night, he does exactly what you did for years leading up to your suicide. Your parents? Their marriage fell apart. Your dad became a workaholic to distract himself from your death. Your mom got diagnosed with depression and just lays in bed all day. People care. You may not think so, but they do. Your choices don’t just effect you. They effect everyone. Don’t end your life, you have so much to live for. Things can’t get better if you give up. I’m here for absolutely anyone that needs to talk, no matter who you are. Even if we’ve NEVER talked before, I’m here for you. It hurts. Things do eventually get better. don't give up.

Revised Over Came :)


Describe your outstanding achievement in detail and provide the specific planning, training, goals, and steps taken to make the accomplishment successful. Include details about your role and highlight leadership you provided. If applicable, describe how your achievement provided knowledge and education related to a specific health, safety, environmental or financial risk.

My name is Kimberly Aspedon and I WILL graduate June 2013. My biggest achievement is not giving up planning and setting goals for my future. Through my four academic years I moved five times. The first semester of ninth grade year I was home-schooled. We lived in a two story house before we rented it out. My father, two siblings and I moved in with my grandparents while my mother moved to Florida where she received a job. There were three teenagers and three adults living in a two bedroom/one bath house. We only saw my mother once maybe twice a month when she came up to South Carolina. During this time I was placed back into public school and had my credits denied me due to scheduling. I was told I was going to graduate one/two years late when I first got back to public school. Nine weeks in to the second semester; April 1st, 2010, we moved to Lakeland, Florida and joined my mom. After long battles with the administration at the new school, I still ended up in Physical Education classes for the rest of the school year and left with no hope. I had to retake all the classes, who’s credit was ripped from me, online through Florida Virtual School during the summer on my own time. After long nights of sitting in front of the computer for hours I finally regained all those credits. About a year later, April 1st, 2011, we moved for the fifth time to Land O'Lakes, Florida where I attend Sunlake High School. I had more complications once I arrived with all my credits being lost in the system, but after a lot of hard searching we found all of my credits and I was back on track. Through all of this I never heard of Advance Placement classes or Dual Enrollment classes. Now I am a senior in high school; GRADUATING June 1, 2013, and I am a full time dual enrollment student. I also work two jobs and attend high school along with dual enrollment. Instead of graduating with only twenty-four credits, like most people, I WILL BE graduating with over thirty credits and have one whole year of college out of the way. It has been very rough and there were times I wanted to give up and just drop out of school. There were nights and there are still nights I cry and feel like giving up because I do not think I am doing good enough. My parents, administration, teachers, and professors all tell me I am doing a fantastic job. I am head-strong, it is hard to believe them. However while writing this I realized, “yes I am not valedictorian or salutatorian but through everything I went through, I did marvelous things!” You may be reading this and thinking this is about academics but in reality it is much bigger then that. It is about a fourteen/fifteen year old girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders having the choice to either: A) give up and drop out, B) graduate late, or C) persevere and prove everyone wrong. I over came all the challenges the different school systems threw at me and I proved to not only to myself but everyone else I will achieve all things. I could not have over come all of these hardships with out the help of my family, boyfriend, teachers and administration but most importantly I could not have done this without the strength the Lord Jesus Christ gave me. 

What challenges or obstacles did you face? How did you meet those challenges?

I had all of my credits taken from me and was told I was going to graduate a year or two late. However I learned of this website where I could take the classes and still get all my credits back. I took all of my classes again and regained my credits. I even took more then I had to and got ahead. Living in a camper is also a challenge because there is no room to spread all your books and study like you should be able to. It can be very stressful at times because with such small living quarters it is easy to get distracted from your studies. However I mange to make do, put my head phones and listen to my music while I study the best I can. Also working two jobs while going to school presents a challenge because it can become difficult to keep up with your grades and homework. However I do have a job where if we are not busy we can work on school and that is how I can accomplish that challenge. I overcame adversity and overcame the negative thoughts that were first placed in my head. 

What impact did your achievement have on you personally? What impact, if any, did your achievement have on your family? Your school? Your community? If applicable, describe how your achievement changed the behavior of its beneficiaries, specific to reducing health, safety, environmental or financial risk.

This achievement impacted me in more ways then one but the biggest impact it had on me was that I overcame all the negative thoughts thrown my way. I was able to live in small confinements and still succeed and be able to gain every credit back and gain more then what I am suppose to have. But I think that the greatest achievement out of all of this is that my two siblings can see that no matter what life might throw at them later that any and everything is possible if they set their minds to it and work hard. Hard work, determination, faith and prayer can help a blind man see. Out of all things I think the impact it has on the younger ones around me is more important than anything. Trying is the most important thing in life if you do not try then you will never know what you could have achieved. I believe through everything I showed that and I can tell that to everyone, younger and older. 

We Will Never Forget

We take this day as a remembrance to those who died in the 9/11 attacks. Many of us were very young between the ages of 8 to 5. Although at the time we may not have understood what was going on, it changed and impacted everyone's lives. We 
grew up in a time of war and in a time of change and a time of healing. 11 years later we are still healing and changing and in war. My respect goes out to all the families who child/father/mother/sister/brother/wife/husband/cousin/aunt/uncle died or are still not found in these attacks. I pray for you all everyday in hopes that some type of closure has been brought to you and your families. My respect also goes out to all of our men and women fighting to this day for our freedom and fighting to prevent future attacks. As many of my friends and friends I consider family fight for this country I pray they stay out of harms way. A day never forgotten and a day always on our hearts and our minds. Take a moment of silence today to remember the fallen.

If applicable, describe how your achievement provided knowledge and education related to a specific health, safety, environmental or financial risk.

My name is Kimberly Aspedon and I was suppose to graduate June 2013. My biggest achievement would be not giving up and continuing. I was homeschooled the first semester of ninth grade. My mother got a job in Tampa, Florida and moved down to Florida. We rented out our two story house and my father, brother, sister and I moved in with my grandparents. Who had a two bed-room one bath house. Three teenagers and three adults in this small house and we only saw my mother once maybe twice a month when she came up to South Carolina. All my credits from homeschooling was taken from me when I was put in to public school because of the type scheduling the school was on. I was told I was going to graduate one/two years late when I first started attending there. Nine weeks in to the second semester; on April 1st, 2010, we moved to Lakeland, Florida. Where I was put into another school. The guidance and administration put me in to all PE classes. I had to retake all my classes online through Florida Virtual School. I retook all the credits that was taken from me and passed them again and finally got the credit on my transcript. About a year later, on April 1st, 2011, we moved for the fourth time to Land O'Lakes, Florida where I attend Sunlake High School. I have been there for a little over two years now. I have had complications with all my credits being lost again, but after a lot of hard searching we found all of my credits and I was back on track. Through all of this I never heard of AP classes or Dual Enrollment class. Now I am a senior in high school; graduating June 1, 2013, and I am a full time dual enrollment student. Along with begin a full time dual enrollment student I work two jobs and attend high school. Instead of graduating with only twenty-four credits, like most people, I will be graduating with over thirty credits and have one whole year of college out of the way as well.

CHECK OUT THE NEW "ALL YOU" PAGE

CHECK OUT THE NEW "ALL YOU" PAGE! :) 

Update on About Me :)

**Proud to be a Military Niece!**
**Jesus Freak:))**
**Daughter of the Risen King!! :))**

Im just an average girl trying to make it in a big world with many decisions to make. Things have been tough but I always manage to make it out on top. Wear a smile on my face for the people around me. I care about everyone and put everyone before myself, I work hard for everyone and everything and I really don't take much for granted. I dont have many true friends and its a little late in life for them but I have my Lord and Savior, my Boyfriend and my Family and thats all I really need. Don't talk bad about My Lord, My Boyfriend, or My Family because that is the quickest to get on my bad list; just being completely blunt.

After I graduate in 2013, I have decided to do the "impossible" and go for a triple major. Hospitality and Event Management, ASL, and Education. I want to be a wedding planner specializing in wedding for the hearing impaired along with the seeing impaired. I believe everyone deserves a very special day! I have a growing passion for the Language and Culture of the Deaf and have immersed myself into it to learn as much as possible, I hope to receive my name sign soon. Through Christ I CAN do anything and with His help and Guidance I WILL do anything :)

If you want to know more ask and you shall recieve.

Ryan Allen Clinton is the love of my life end of discussion  :) He has breathe taking sea blue eyes and just all together Handsome! So many words to describe him and none of them good enough. I love you Ryan Allen Clinton :):):) I cant wait to see what the future holds for us. ~05-02-10~

I'm Honest 2012

So theres this thing going on on Facebook and its pretty much you right about yourself and your life and let people read it - I figured I could do it on here and then share it on Facebook - I know I haven't been on in a while but heres a little something for you to enjoy ( maybe :] ) 




               Hi my name is Kimberly Elizabeth Aspedon, I am 16 years old for another 20 some odd days then I turn 17. I lived in Delaware for 3 years before I moved to South Carolina. My dad was in the Air Force while in Delaware. In South Carolina I was surrounded by family; aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, parents and my baby brother later my baby sister. My parents will be married for 18 years this year. Was it easy? No. Was it a smooth childhood? No. I almost came from a broken family and split parents, Thank God though He saved my family and I still have my parents and siblings under one roof, it was hard because I was older and knew what was going on. I lived in a two story house for 10/11 years and grew up with the same friends. I want to say I had to grow up faster then most people and missed out on some things. I love my parents and my siblings. I grew up in the church since the time I was 8. However many different things happened to steer me away from God for a while. I became mad at Him and blamed Him for many different things. I struggled with many things and was used by many different things. Felt like I was on my own and in many ways I was. I got use to being alone and didn't trust many people. But January 28, 2010 my eyes were opened and I realized its wasn't His fault and He saved my life so know I now I will live forever with Him after I die and take my place in the Kingdom of Heaven. God has showed me that He will NEVER give me anything that I can not overcome. And I am grateful for all the things He put on my plate because it made me the women I am today. I am a Jesus Freak and I don't care who knows. I know He will guide me in everything. My 3 years of high school DEFINITELY has not been pleasant and a real pain in the behind. My parents took me out of public school in the 8th grade and home schooled me and my siblings. Half way through my 9th grade year I found out I was moving to FL and they placed me back into public in SC. I was opposed to moving and couldn't stand the idea of it. At the SC high school I lost all the credits I already learned and was going to graduate a semester/year late. I was at that high school for about 9 weeks and on April 1st I moved to FL. Here in FL I attended a Polk County school and was placed in all PE classes just to make it through the last 4 1/2 weeks. Then I had to take ALL the classes I already took and passed over again on FLVS so that the credit would count. I know now my parents are very sorry for putting me through that my freshmen year but now its all good because Im ahead in my classes and have a GPA of a 4.0825 working on taking many Dual Enrollment classes my senior year. April 1st 2011 I moved from Polk County to Pasco County where I am currently at and will stay, from the promise of my parents, until I graduate next year. Its still a hard time. I have gotten my first job and already got one promotion in the summer I am getting another one. Lastly I have an amazing boyfriend that I love with my whole life and I would give my life for him. He has given me everything I ever wanted and I can't wait to see where life takes us next. He is my heart and soul. This is about it I suppose, I could right a whole book but now isn't the time nor the place. Maybe one day :) ;) #ImHonest2012




Post your I am Honest 2012 :)

How has your New Year been?

How has YOUR New Year been.? Mine has been pretty good so far, besides the fact I came back to FL to soon. We drove all day New Years to come back home. Needless to say it was a pretty smooth ride home. Wish I could have stayed a little longer but I have training tomorrow thats why we had to come back. Honestly this week has gone by suppa fast! I can't believe tomorrow is Thursday! Five days left til I go back to school for two days and then out the rest of the week. I am having my wisdom teeth surgery next Thursday and will be outta school those days, to bad Im going to be in pain and out of it those two days but I can't wait to get them out. My gums hurt so bad. I reunited with an old friend this New Years and its great being able to talk to them again! Its always great to have another person to talk to. Has me thinking a lot though. I also feel like a lot of things was my fault in that relationship, weather I wanted the things that happened or not. Well Monday I spent a great day with Ryan and Carolina won, Gators won and Georgia LOST :D hahaha YAY baby! Clemson plays tonight and kinda hoping they win! As it being the New Year many people have asked me whats my New Years resolution.. I don't really know what it is, I didn't make one. I don't see the point in it, its an opportunity to make something that your probably won't do.. So Ive decide my GOALS (not something I HAVE to do) for this year is 1) Take my ACT&SAT 2) Apply and get some scholarships 3) Apply for colleges 4) Keep a smile on my face no matter how down in the dumps I feel. So there I think thats all my "Goals" for this year. Im not sure. I feel as if somethings that happened this holiday season was my fault :( I didn't mean for any of it to happen, no one is blaming but I still feel as if it was my fault. I just hope it all works out soon. Well my dad is now in school to become a baker, once he finishes and opens his bakery and once I finish and open my wedding business we will work together. :) anyways Theres so much to do and so much running through my mind. I gotta figure things out, and gotta figure it out one day soon. Well Imma go for now. Peace :)
