Entry number6:Video games can be a way to switch off our mind and let our imagination flow, because when you play you are in somebody else’s skin. It is easier to be someone you could never be in the real world. From this point of view, I think video gaming is a good therapy but is not difficult to go from playing once or twice a week, to spend most of the day in front of the screen. The addiction to a video game can cause the same damage that any other addiction. You can reach the point in which you no longer control your life and lose everything you care about. Therefore, it is safer to leave video games only for entertainment and not for escaping from your problems.
I do not enjoy playing video games but I recognize that they have a great influence on young people. They are usually criticized because they depict violent scenes but they can be used as a tool for learning something, since there are many educational video games. Many games are in English so you have to learn what the words mean in order to continue playing.
A comparison is made between rock and roll and video games because they are said to influence young people. This fact is not true because if you control what you do you wont do what something tells you to do. What is true is that video games will be with us for a long time and will become increasingly real.

Entry Number5
It is hard to believe how a person can even think on killing another person, and to do this several times is even harder to believe in. It is said that this kind of murderers are isolated from society and this could be the cause for their lack of pity towards others. Probably this is a main reason but there must be many others to take into consideration in order to understand what is going on in their minds. It is obvious that these shooters need mental treatment but it is very difficult to recognize a potential murder, I think they should be very clever and able to hide any sign of possible violent reactions. Maybe someday mass shootings will end but it is a difficult task since there is not a single cause to attribute this kind of behavior.

Entry Number 4:
I will like to write about the people who I admire, first my parents who always will be by my side not matter what. The fact that they advice when I need to take some decision is the most important thing, and I trust them more than I can trust in any other person. The only exception is my boyfriend who is also my best friend, I tell him whatever I am thinking and he will understand me since we have the same way of thinking. I do not know whether it is the fact that we been dating for a long time or it is because we are made for each other. I like to think that we will always be together but it is impossible to actually know that this will happen. Coming back to the people that I admire the most I have to include my younger sister who have a daughter, she took the decision of becoming a mother despite the fact that she was very young. For me it was the biggest decision of her life but she seems to be very happy with it, I think that if you admire someone you have to know the person because not always are as you see on TV or in magazines. For this reason I decide to admire the people that are close to me.

Entry Number 3
A friend that is no longer close to me I met Silvina at high school and we became friends we did not have much in common but we could understand each other. She lived far from my house and when we finished high school, we did not see each other so often. After a while, I stop visiting her and she did not visit me either, I got angry with her because I was the only one who did the visits. Maybe she did not care about my friendship or I do not know what to think since I do not speak to her anymore.
I remember that she was a girl who did not dare to experience new things, she was comfortable with her life and she did not want anything to change. Once my mother saw her at the supermarket and She told my mother that she will call me but she never did. Now I am almost sure that she did not want to be my friend I do not know why. It is difficult to think about her as a good friend but sometimes I miss her, although I do not believe I will see her again. On the other hand, I imagine that I will ignore her as she did with me.
Now have another friends and they are better and I can see that I am important to them. You know how things are going to end but I try not to think about it.

Entry Number2
MY OLD HOUSE
I used to live in a small neighborhood that was far from the city. We only stayed there until I was ten, and we moved to a new house closer to the city. At first, I missed a lot my former house but as years passed, I got accustomed to the place where I live and my new neighbors.
What I really want to write about is how I remember that place; the most memorable smell is that of wet ground in summer and the smell of lemon tree flowers on spring. The grass on the front yard felt like a cushion, it was very soft and you could lay on it. Me, my brother and sisters used to play there all day and on summer and a swimming pool was settled there.
This small house was near the mountains and you could see them and go there whenever you wanted. Before reaching the mountains, there was a river, which usually was dried, but when there was rain you could take a bath in it.
I loved that house and although I like the one where I live now I always remember how happy we were there. Sometimes I dream that we own the two houses and we come back to the old one and to have a great time as before. Maybe this happens because of the good memories I have or maybe because I wish I be a child again.

Entry Number1
Something About me
I may say that I have few friends but they are true friends and I can trust them for whatever I need. I am not saying I am an antisocial person but I do not trust easily on people, maybe this is also because I am a little shy.
