In some countries, cultural events aren't for all age and gender groups. This might be considered a "normal action" but it's not. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) states that everybody has the right to freely take part in local culture, however, this seems an underestimate article. Children, all over the World, are being privatized of attending to concerts, shows, and other cultural events, whether it's because of their age or gender. It's more than proved that to these aren't excuses to exclude minors of local culture. In Portugal, where I live, most concerts are only...

Dear Rose, I am proud of yesterday. Did you notice all those flowers that got away because you were too anxious and depressed to even think about growing them? I respect you for wanting to save everyone around you even if it drained all your energy. Look at all the people who hurt you deeply. You decided not to hold a grudge. You are so brave!

I believe that is due to the scare we have that the world ends soon. People get angry about it but it is mostly...
