   Teen Suicide, Missing Teen's Mom Says Daughter Left Suicide Note. Lisa Finn informs us about a young sixteen year old named Ashley Murray that has been missing from her home in Peconic where she had lived with her mother.
   
   The sixteen year old left a suicide note, Murray said on Tuesday, which claimed she was upset with the world, mentioning a "watery grave" and a stranger "taking her to a deep abyss." Murray had told reporters that Ashley had been leaving scary status on facebook and how she was just going to do it and other dark things.
 
    The young daughter of Murray is still missing, however her mother says that she believes her daughter is still alive and she hopes to find her. Murray told reporters that she left without phone chargers, medication for her anemia, clothes or even a toothbrush.
   
   Southold Town Police Chief Martin Flatley tells us, "Our physical search of her neighborhood has ended, but we are still pursuing other investigative leads along with her family. We will certainly notify all interested parties when there are any developments." They hope to find her, however suicide is what they have expected.
  
   Suicide is never an okay thing, people hurt and suffer over the lost of a loved one. Sometimes life has its down, but there are ways to come up from them that are better then suicide. Suicide leaves friends and family's broken and torn to pieces. The search for Ashley Murray will continue.

   Teen Shootings since 1996, Infoplease has an article entitled Time Line of Worldwide School and Mass Shootings. School shootings are a terrible tragedy. Losing loved ones is never an easy thing to do. Over 287 students and teachers have been killed in school schools since the year of 1996.
  
   I believe that anyone can be drove to the point of killing a person, however that never makes it okay. The most recent school shooting was in the United States. This school shooting was a tragedy that broke the hearts of many. No one really knows what drove the twenty year old to this point.

   Adam Lanza, 20, killed 20 children and six others at the Sandy Hook Elementary School. He killed his mother, Nancy, at her home prior to the massacre at the school. Lanza committed suicide after the rampage. The shooting was the second deadliest in U.S. history, behind the 2007 shooting at Virginia Polytechnic Institute that claimed 32 people.
   
   The Virginia Tech massacre was a shooting that took place on April 16, 2007, on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, United States. Seung-Hui Cho, a senior at Virginia Tech, shot and killed 32 people and wounded 17 others in two separate attacks, approximately two hours apart, before committing suicide another six people were injured escaping from classroom windows.

   School shootings are one of the enormous worries of parents all across he world. Lock down and more security should be put in place to prevent this from happening. Losing loved ones can be very hard, school shootings should never happen and are easily per vented.

Valentines day:)

     Valentines Day, the day for love and the day to show how you feel for someone. Valentines Day first originated in Ancient Rome, to honor Queen Juno. She was the queen of all the gods and goddess's. Now people use this day to celebrate their love for one another.

      Love? Everyone has their own definition of what it means. I think love is something that you can only share between that person and you don't feel that way with or around anyone else. Loving someone can be tragic of extravagant, some say girls and boys my age have no idea what love is however i think anyone can feel and know what love is like. Love, however is very different then lust.
      Lust, strong but never as strong as love. Lust is a sexual desire that is shared between people. Lust is also another desire that can kind well or end very bad. Lust is a feeling that people want to feel instead of love. However lust between two people can turn into love. But love can also turn into lust.

   Valentines day is full of love and lust, its a day to show affection and also to be affectionate. Most people expect someone to show affection toward them on this day of love. Its a really special day to love everyone:)
  
   Every February 14, across the United States and in other places around the world, candy, flowers and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. Having this day is to love people around you and to show your honor for Queen Juno.

book review!!

    Angels, good or bad. Can someone over come their harmful life when loving someone? This book portrays not only a lot of love and emotion but also a lot of thrill and suspense. Becca Fitzpatrick, author of the Hush Hush series surprised me with all its action and passion.

 This book wants you to learn that love can over come anything, no matter how scary or dangerous it is. The main characters in the book are Nora Grey and Patch. Two very different people that fall in love, patch himself is a fallen angel, and Nora is a little small town good girl. Even though they have different life's they over come that because they love each other dearly. The style the author uses is very well thought out, it sucks you in and makes you believe that you are the characters and it makes you feel the love and hurt that the characters feel in the book.
  
The setting in the book is in a little town that is wet and cold. In the book the setting and places affect the characters by having no very good vision and ending up in accidents that become very harmful, mistakes are made because of the setting. Both characters are very well rounded. Patch got his name because he got into a lot of fights. Nora transforms in this book from a delegate young lady to this amazing independent women.

 This book makes to different connections, with myself and with another book. It connects with me because I know what its like to be in love with someone that isn't good for you, or someone that is very different form me in every way. It also connects with another series of book by Simone Elkeles'  who wrote the Chain Reaction series. Theses books are very similar and both portrays love and action with in two people.

   Hush Hush is a great book that shows love and passion between two people. Its a love story, that I would tell most people to read if you like love stories. Its a book that shows you that loving someone isn't easy, but in the end it is worth it no matter what. I think everyone should read this book!!
