Camping
When I was in the fifth grade I went on my first camping trip and had a great time but I didn't do as much as I could have. Now that I am in high school, I have the chance to go again but the trip will be a little bit more rough than the first one i went on. There will be no bathrooms, so I'll have to use the wilderness.  I don't have access to anyone that's not with me because you don't take technology, and I would  have to kayak down a river five miles a day. Many of my friends that have gone on the trip said it was really fun and you don't even notice all of the things that you miss while you're camping. I really want to go camping again but I would like my female friends to be able to go because i don't want to be the only female on the trip. I just think it will be better this time around because I'm willing to try new things and it'll be cheaper for me to go this year. Tell me Bloggers what do you think about me going camping what should i do, or what do you think about camping.

Bullying Teacher!!!
http://abcnews.go.com/US/jersey-autistic-boy-records-teachers-alleged-abuse/story?id=16209626
In the video above, an autistic boy named Akian was bullied by his teacher during class. I believe the teacher was out of line for talking to him the way she did because Akian was a special needs child and he didn't have any control of what he was doing. It wasn't his fault that he was the way he was and the teacher knew that, so she deserved to be fired because if she treated Akian that way she probably treated others the same and that is inappropriate. I also think the father of the autistic boy was right to bring attention to the issue and find out what was happening to his son, but i do not think putting recorders on all autistic children is necessary. All teachers are not like the woman Akian had and they don't deserve to be recorded because of one person. I think parents of special needs children need to ensure that their children are in the hands of people who care for them and can truly teach and give them love. Tell me Bloggers what do you think should be done to make sure autistic children are not bullied in school.
