Marilyn Monroe

By: Raelissa Lewis

  Marilyn Monroe was a very beautiful actress, model, and singer. Her full name was Norma Jeane Mortenson. Marilyn was one of Hollywood’s most famous actresses, and a popular sex symbol in the 1950s and early 1960s. Sadly, Marilyn passed away August 5, 1962, of a drug overdose. Many people think that it was suspicious, and possibly done by the Kennedys. Marilyn and John F. Kennedy were confirmed to have had an affair as well. 

I like Marilyn Monroe because I think she is very pretty and there’s something about that past that drags me in. I also like hearing about all of the conspiracies people have about her death. I like hearing stories or researching about the 1900s because there’s always something to find about someone, especially someone Hollywood famous like Marilyn.

Real life twinning

By: Aryanni Harris

If you have a twin then you can most likely relate to everything I’m about to say. Life having a twin isn’t all that bad once you’re older, but when you’re young it’s like hell. Everyone thinks when you are young you’re supposed to be close, happy and sticking together. Well some twins are, but Anna and I are not. Anna and I are literally two different people, but I feel like when we do things together or dress alike we get closer. That was our problem when we were younger we didn’t do things together. For example, I liked being around my mom and my sister didn’t.

Anna has always been a people person that’s why everyone likes her more, and is considered, “the nice twin.” Everyone thinks I’m mean because I don’t hold back, well not all the time.  

When we were in middle school I got called the mean twin and Anna had all the friends. The crazy part is that I always stood by her side when we were in middle school even when I was getting bullied. She went through this phase “dressing like a boy” or I would say just wearing baggy clothes. That’s why I got called the mean twin cause I didn’t like when people talked about us or her mainly. I didn’t really care what people thought or said about me. That’s why I kept arguing with random people. The crazy thing is we share mostly everything. I really don’t mind. 

When we got to high school our lives changed so fast. Everyone already knew us at Bowsher because of who my brother is. He played football, I cheered for football and basketball, and my sister played basketball. Freshman and Sophomore year was when I started getting bullied again, and Anna wasn’t so she was ten toes behind me and this made us closer than ever.

Junior year we transferred to Start. Anna always struggled in school, but I helped her when she needed (of course) because that’s what twins are for. Senior year is here now and so far we have been getting along well. We haven’t argued in a while, but we’ll see how we end the year off because the life of a twin is rollercoaster!

Red flags

By Anni Harris

Have you ever been in a toxic relationship? If so, I’m about to tell you how to get out of one. If not then just sit back and listen just in case there are some red flags going on in your current relationship. Let’s say you’re with someone, everything is always smooth at the beginning and you’re thinking you’re so in love. Then a few months go by, and y’all argue and have a lack of communication. Then things get worse and they blame everything on you while the whole time they’ve been doing everything they’ve accusing you of doing. A couple weeks later, everything’s back to being cool.

From my perspective when I was in a toxic relationship it was hard to let him go. Sometimes the best thing for you to do is let go. The first thing you’ll notice is that you’ll argue a lot and then they’ll distance themselves. The next thing you’ll notice is that they’ll start saying they just want to be friends. (TAKE NOTES) DON’T EVER BE FRIENDS WITH THEM AFTER Y’ALL BREAK UP! Even when you think like “yeah okay, we can be friends” and you’ll think that because eventually you may get back together (which is true). It’s time to let go when you’ve had the big break up and they’ve moved on. Another red flag is when they still trying to come see you and do everything else they are supposed to do with their new significant other.

You know they are manipulative when you’re just friends, but they still have feelings for you and won’t admit it. To get out of this you’ll want to tell him or her everything has to stop.

If you’re not in a toxic relationship, avoid LYING. Don’t lie to your partner because it’s most definitely going to come to light.

That’s how you get out and avoid toxic relationships.
