Hello fellow bloggers, I'm pretty new to this so have no idea who can read this or how it works, well here are a few things about me: My name is Abbie, I have only recently turned 17 and I am probably one of the youngest in my friendship group which isn't always the worst thing, I am currently at sixth form and studying, English Language and Literature, German, Philosophy and Ethics and Communication and Culture, all at AS level, yes it sounds a handful and I won't lie it is hard but I have finished all my AS examinations now and will soon be starting my A2 work, so I am trying to accept that for the rest of this year and next I will have hardly any social life, bummer.
I have no idea why I wanted to start a blog, I suppose I have been slightly influenced by two of my friends who have started blogging themselves, so I thought I would give it a whirl. I'm not really sure what to really say in these, but I suppose I can just update on my current life situation, well..life hasn't always been easy for me like most teenagers, people; mainly adults, underestimate the stress and challenges teenagers go through in their day-to-day lives, not all of us are common youths who are out to cause trouble and ruin the community, some of us genuinely want to help in society and get a decent job and qualifications. I personally am one of these teenagers who watch the news, read the headlines and want to find out about our government and what's happening in the world, usually this leads me to feeling angry and frustrated as I know that someone like me who is so low and unimportant in society cannot possibly make a difference, many times I have thought about my passion for politics and government, I think about the 'greats' (in my opinion) such as Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher, who actually made the Great in Great Britain and in them days Britain was a strong and powerful country, well all i say is look at it today. Yesterday was the lovely Queen's Diamond Jubilee where everyone on that day could feel proud to be British, well not in my town of Sleaford, you wouldn't have even known it was a day of celebration, no banners, no street parties or anything, accept for a poor, shameful attempt at the local park with two/three rides £1 each and none of them looked safe, I have never been so embarrassed to call Sleaford my home town. it's quite frankly ridiculous. Wow to think I didn't know what to say at the start of this somehow I have managed to cover 3 topics that annoy the hell out of me :) well me thinks i better get off my high horse and call it a day on this one.
Peace out.
Abbie :)
