Tattoos

Alright..so i have this boyfriend..and he's quite amazing. We are extremely serious and are crazy about each other. We will be getting married once he moves here and we can be with each other full time. So last time i was visiting him i wrote on his stomach my name in Japanese. He liked it there and he kept asking me to re-write it. A couple days later he told me he wants it tattooed. This obviously freeked me out bc even if we were married now i would still think its a bad idea cuz it is heard of of ppl. getting divorced after like 40 years of marriage....basically my whole complaint is nothing in life is certain and tattoos are permanent. I tried telling him numerous times that its not a good idea but he has his mind made up and wants it more than anything. So yea i dont know what to do about that. . .

Final Photo Essay

For this essay I am trying to find out how children start out being so innocent playing nicely on the playground, to just a few years later consumed with weapons and violent video games. I decided to use my little brother (11y.o) as my subject to observe.








These are just some of the many weapons my brother owns



On the back of this video game shows violent acts of killing people.

A game of my brother "Jaws", allows him to swim around and tear people apart. I watched him play for about 20 min. Some parts showed pieces of a person floating around, such as a severed head. At one point there was so much blood from the attack the whole screen was red.


The game even includes the people screaming for their lives.
This is a body he's carrying without a head. (he bit that off earlier)







A shooting game that doesn't have as much blood but is more realistic and violent.




He frequently plays outside with his friends acting out scenes they had played in the games.



He shoots anything from beer cans to live animals that come into our backyard.



I'm not sure exactly why kids become so violent. The only assumption I could make would be the violent games and toys that kids are frequently exposed to at a young age. I've watched my brother grow up and become a boy obsessed with weapons and killing games. He's so use to the violence and blood that it does not bother him to watch it or even act it out with his friends.
