When the wifi is down then I am late
Late on twitter which means no online drama
Drama that I sometimes love or hate.
When there's pizza but it gets cold
Cold as a winter day, which it is
Is disgusting like green mold.
And speaking of winter when it's just freezing
The bitter weather and temperature
Dropping and dropping and dropping and dropping.

Ice Melting in Antarctica
The ice in Antarctica is melting, and the the eastside is now pushing around the westside. Antarctica has been losing trillions of tons of ice per year. The ice mass has been moving at a very fast rate. It's twelve millimeters per year.This is happening because of global warming.
Global warming is a common issue these days because the climate is changing and the Earth's polar ice caps are melting. Now it's become even more serious since East Antarctica can push around the west. New York City is predicted to be underground since the ice melting is causing more water to be in our oceans. There's not enough space for oceans, so it will flood over land.
Now that the ice has started melting and moving, there's not a lot of things we can do to stop it. But some things to slow down the process might be saving energy and not using unnecessary electricity. If we shut down the light even for a few moments when we're not in the room, it could still make a small but important impact.

Cirque Du Freak (revised)
Cirque Du Freak is a fictional book that teaches people to not do things without our parents consent, or illegal things in general. I know that it's fictional, but it can also be related to real life. The main character Darren Shan, is a teenager who sneaks out at night with his best friend to go see a freak show, which is illegal. When they go there, they see a lot of strange things. And they become curious, which leads to dangerous things. It gets so bad that Darren regrets going to the freak show.
One point in the book is when he steals a dangerous spider from its owner, Mr. Crepsley. He plays with it and uses tricks on it, which he saw Mr. Crepsley do at the freak show. The spider seems harmless, but Darren's little sister gets bitten. The spider's poisonous venom paralyzes her. Once again, Darren regrets going to the freak show.
His life becomes so upside down that Darren puts everyone's lives in danger. And he wishes that he had not gone to the freak show. If his parents had known, then they'd have protected him from going. But at the end Darren suffers along with everyone else.
Even though the storyline is fake, it does teach us that lying and doing illegal things always get carried away and that there is no good ending. Many kids do a lot of sneaky things behind their parent's back. Some things are so serious, that we could end ourselves, or another person under a life or death situation.

Social Issues in the Book
The book that's I'm reading, Girls Against Girls, is a nonfiction book with data and reasons to why girls are more aggressive than guys. According to the book, while guys may be able to get into a physical fight, it is less common in girls. Girls are psychologically more tougher, since we've been expected by society to be more sweet and kind. The book shows many scenarios of how girls fight, we gossip and get involved in other people's business. The same behavior has been noted in female apes. Scientists say that it does make sense, considering that present day humans evolved from apes. But this happens between girls almost everywhere.
Girls most of the time have a tendency to gossip. We hear something from someone, and we pass it on. Labels are used on people like "slut" and "fake" for the wrong reasons. Most of the time, this takes place in schools, were one girl might tell her "friend" a secret, who decides that it's something really interesting, so she should tell everyone. And she adds in her own twist to it to make it a bit more juicy and entertaining. The next set of girls pass it on with even more of their own versions of what happened, and pretty soon, everyone know about it. The innocent person has now become a "slut" even though she's done nothing wrong. This is how a lot of gossip is spread in school.
But according to the book, girls have been verbally tormenting each other for things they want. Girls have been proven to be the more competitive gender. Before in the olden days, many girls were not free from their parents until they were married. So siblings fought for this freedom by competing with each other for a better husband. Nowadays, we don't fight over these things with our sisters, but with our friends, we fight over many different things. We all want to be better than each other, but to do that, a lot of girls bring each other down using such labels as "slut" and "fake" and many more. If one girl has something, the other girl wants it too, or something better. So we're pretty competitive.
A female brain is more complex than a male brain, and we have been affected by society to behave "sweetly", so we avoid physical fights to appear as that. Instead, we spread rumors and throw around insults to bring each other down and get to the top. This has been a common thin between girls of all kinds, like female apes, girls around the world, and in historic times. This has been a social issue since the dawn of time, and we can't really get rid of it, but we can avoid it, by thinking twice about what we say before we say it.
