Afghan Girls, Scarred by Acid, Defy Terror, Embracing School

One of the biggest things that are happening in Afghanistan is that younger and older children are getting sprayed with burning acid in there face while walking to school. Students and teachers were suggesting that students should stay home, But it seems like that didn't work. Some students that were badly burned had to be sent for treatment. People thought the person that did this to students didn't want them to be educated. Many students walked about more then two miles from there house to school. Until one day three men's on motorcycles began circling around the school. One of them started to throw a spray bottle, the other one a squirt gun, and the last one a jar. The hit 11 girls and 4 teachers all together, and 6 of them had to go to the hospital.
They been trying to find who was behind all of this. So the police arrested eight man. The ministry of the interior showed a video of two men's confessing. One of them said they been paid by an officer to carry the attack. People started putting up posters and it started to appear in the local mosques say "Don't Let Your Child Go To School.

My Opinion about this article is what happen to these children is very sad. Parents that have children in these situations should find another school for them to go to where u know its safe. Some parents still send there child to school even though this stuff is still going on, and that's not a right thing to do. Children that are suffering like this should not be in this type of situation like this.

Heather Davis and John Jones II

This article is about Ms. Davis became convinced and she had found the perfect mate.It was this Yale law graduate guy who was working as a lawyer in Los Angeles that liked her. Ms.Davis started to get serious about him, but john started to announced that he was contemplating a do over about his career. Mr Jones wanted to past the law behind him and continue with a medical degree instead. He wanted to do it if they were going to have a family. Ms. Davis wanted Mr. Jones to be serious about her just the same way she was about him. Mr. Jones and Ms. Davis meet in 2010 through an intermediary. Ms. Davis has been working with the opposing counsel for 5 years earlier before her and Mr. Jones meet. The opposing counsel saw her profile on Match.com and wrote her asking if she remember him, and she wrote back saying she did. She ask them if they could let her know if there's anybody that she could meet on the regular way. After a couple of weeks later Mr. Jones saw Ms. Davis profile and meet up in February for brunch. Mr. Jones was not looking for a serious relationship, he wanted to get to know her better. Mr. Jones liked mS. Davis appearance and her personality. He learned that she was in yale before she was going to columbia High School. Ms. Davis never felt so comfortable with anyone the way she felt with Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones has been thinking for years to pop the question to her, but he still had to worry about medical school Ms. Davis was thinking in mind that if she walks away, she will regret finding another man like Jones. In January 2011, Ms. Davis and Mr. Jones were riding in the car together. While they were riding Mr. Jones was thinking and told Ms. Davis if she wanna go to med school she can, he will be there to support her. Mr. Jones went to Ms. Davis parents and kindly asked for her hand. On April 10, 2011 he proposed to her on the beach during sunset.

My opinion about this article is that they both did the right thing. They both finished schooling they both got there degree, and they both got a chance to know each other more. They took there time little by little, and they finally came to a point where they wanted to get married, so they did.

For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage

This article is basically about how most women are getting pregnant and having babies without being married and more people are doing it. The ones that are occurring the most are the ones that go to college but don't finish getting there degree, but the ones that are educated are the ones that are married when they are having a baby. The growth is affecting people lives. People that are born outside of marriage are facing risks of falling into failing school, and they are failing by not getting their education. The ones that are having a child outside of marriage are the ones that are living on welfare. Women's that are having babies out of marriage are the ones that are having more trouble, then the ones that are married. The shift is affecting children's lives. More women's went to work, and making marriage a more less financial necessity for them Most women's that are having babies feel the need marriage means nothing to them. The ones that are outside of marriage, the baby father decides to split up around when the baby gets around 7-10, and higher.

My opinion about this article is that women shouldn't have kids at all intill they know they have everything done, they finish going to school and being married at that time so they know they will end up being a family. Having kids at a young age can mess up everything for you. It will mess up ya schooling and everything. Thats why going to school and getting your education can save you a whole lot.
