To Infinity and Beyond

Hello everyone! Today's post is going to be quick and serious. If you guys didn't know, a YouTuber named Sam Pepper made a video called "KILLING BEST FRIEND PRANK". 

If you've seen the video and what people think about it, then you know where I am going with this. I have, in fact, seen the video and it's the most disgusting, inhuman thing I have ever watched. I don't know who in their right mind would even think about posting a video like. Sam and Colby(Vine duo), were the guests on Sam's channel, and Colby was in on the prank. To shorten it up, they were both "kidnapped" and taken to a rooftop where Colby was "shot" in the head right in front of Sam's eyes. I almost cried watching this video because Sam was absolutely petrified and he was bawling his eyes out. After about a minute, Colby got up saying it was a prank. But no matter how many times he said he was okay, Sam was absolutely hysterical. At the end of the video, they all seemed okay.

This topic is something no one should joke about. In real life, people's best friends do actually die or get killed in front of them. People deal with this everyday, and for someone so ignorant to joke about it like that is disgusting. His video breaks two of YouTube's community guidelines:

-Violent or graphic content

It's not okay to post violent or gory content that's primarily intended to be shocking, sensational, or disrespectful

-Harmful or dangerous content

Don't opst videos that encourage others to do things that might cause them to get badly hurt, especially kids. Videos showing such harmful or dangerous acts may get age-restricted or removed depending on their severity. 

If one of my friends were to ever do something like this to me, we would no longer be friends anymore. After the video was uploaded, Sam Golbach took to twitter and posted a note to explain his thought on the video.

I do understand where he is coming from, but if you wanted to show the true meaning of friendship, it could have been done a completely different way.

The reason I am coming to you about this is because I want you to sign a petition. A girl named Kaylee-Jade Davis started a petition to YouTube to deactivate Sam Pepper's channel. I signed the petition, along with a bunch of fellow YouTubers as well. I know some of you out there think that deactivating his account is a bit harsh, but considering the circumstances and what this could do to people, I think it is slightly necessary.

Have a good night and stay safe!

Hello everybody! Do you know that feeling you get when it's the day before break and you're just so excited that you could just burst? That's how I'm feeling right now. I am on the greyhound bus on my way home to Houston and I am bursting at the seams. I haven't seen my family ever since they dropped me off in Fayetteville in August. What's also very exciting is that I've never been to Texas so that makes this trip even more awesome.

c'est la vie

This whole week, I have been doing absolutely nothing but twiddling my thumbs and scrolling through Tumblr and Twitter. To tell you the truth, I spend a lot of time on social media. But what regular teenager doesn't? I hate to admit it but my social media is almost like my second life. You show people what you want them see, and tell them what you want them to know. You basically control what people think of you. 

But to be honest, being on twitter these past couple of days had earned me a pretty cool reward. You would never believe who favorited a tweet of mine...Miss Mahogany LOX herself! I know, I freaked out too. When I saw it, I had one of those mini heart attacks you get when something surprises you.

Follow this lovely girl on twitter. She may not answer any of your tweets, but hey. Maybe she'll favorite it (lol). Also, you should follow Mahogany on Tumblr as well. She has a really cool page and reblogs good stuff so you should definitely check it out: http://mahoganylox.tumblr.com/

Also, someone quite vine famous actually followed me on twitter. Yep, that's right. Someone verified followed me. *drumroll* The lovely vine famous Cody Johns followed me on twitter! Crazy, right? Now I'm not gonna lie, I had no idea who this guy was when he followed me. So I asked my friend about it and she was like 'duh, he's famous on vine'. I was like 'well shoot then' lol. Then she started freaking out when I told her that it was the actual verified Cody Johns. I looked him up afterwards and I must say, not bad.

read it and weep, bebs
