Growing up in an overprotective environment never gave her the chance to become emotionally mature and independent. In addition, her parent's demands were always in first place and they were very strict.

However, other Americas feel that there should be no such thing as censorship on music, but it is completely up to the parents to decide what their children should listen to. In an article written by Olivia Clarke, she interviews parents to see what they have to say about the music their children listen too. Lory Reinisch listens to the music her children listen to and then tells them what songs they can listen to on the CD. (3) Artists that produce hardcore music is only for entertainment. In the same article Dr. Dre stated, “I let my kids listen. Matter of fact, I have a 14-year-old daughter that critiques my music

have a lot of contact with “typical” families they might realize theirs is not normal. She

Picture this: An early Saturday morning that consists of a steady flowing summer breeze that caresses the curtains as it dances into the bedroom of a young girl. The young girl that this room belongs to sits on her bed Indian style (or Native American Style, to be politically correct), listening to her beloved iPod. She’s probably listening to Aerosmith -- her favorite band -- or her guilty pleasure song “Hollaback Girl” by No Doubt lead singer, Gwen Stefani. These aren’t her only musical interests; she has hundreds of favorites. Alice Cooper, Ludacris, Bad Company, Korn, Beastie Boys: the list continues on.

What is a Nigger? This one term holds hatred that has transcended generations, and though now only whispered in the homes of white elitist and the ignorant, still is at the root of many of the racial issues African American’s face in America. Despite this, within the African American community the word “nigger” has transformed into the word “nigga”. Thus, changing the connotation from a shackle that made clear one’s position on the social hierarchy to a link that has bounded the community spiritually, symbolizing endearment and brotherhood when used by other African Americans. The change in connotation can now be seen in multiple formats within African American Pop

she is alone with all she has. It is just her and she influences what she chooses to do.

She is more in control of what is happening, or has happened to her, and is beginning to harness herself as her own person, her own identity. She is not acting, or trying to be a certain type of person because everyone is telling her that "that" is who she is. Instead she is taking her identity and molding it; shaping it to fit who she is and who she has grown up to be.

Over 40 million Americans 18+ suffer from anxiety and roughly 37 percent receive treatment according to the international nonprofit organization Anxiety and Depression Association of America. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held a Relief Society conference that addressed the issues with mental illness at 9 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14. The Relief Society is a nonprofit organization that spread the Gospel of Christ and provides assistance to the Latter-day Saint women in receiving blessings according to Lds.org, a website that is run by the Mormon Church.

In attracting those people, others have been excluded. Skillet’s hard rock style pulls in the people who were formerly left out. John Cooper compares Skillet’s music to artists like Marilyn Manson. The lyrics are honest and give hope while Manson’s are negative and breed violence, according to quotes from Cooper (Cengage Learning, 2005). Though they are not the soft Christian lyrics that many people are used to, this album is a good thing. Choosing not to give in the pressure and tone down their Christian message means that Skillet has a unique opportunity to speak different types of people. This is illustrated in John Cooper’s interview with TeensforLife (TeensforLife, 2010). The lyrics not only listed above but also on the rest of the album break away from the stereotypical idea of Christianity and rock music. The theme of war against sin tends to be a hard topic for many people to deal with. Yet, it shows up in both “Monster” and “Hero” along with much of the album (Staples,

You see things; and you say, "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?" I believe it is worth it to dream for multiple reasons. A few reasons include they make people work harder, they keep people out of trouble, and they set lifelong goals.

People who have FOP have flare-ups that occur randomly and without a warning. Also, there is a very unlikely chance to have FOP, 1 in 2 million people have this disorder. A person who has this disorder will be noticeable in the person’s early childhood.

Pink seems like someone who isn't afraid to question boundaries or think outside the box. Music is her way of doing this.

She typically listens to heavy metal music, alternative, indie, and rap. A lot of people typically just enjoy pop or country but Jaylyn is as unique in her music choices as she is in her art choices. A band that she often listens to is Whitechapel. Whitechapel is an American deathcore band and they sing what is most widely known as heavy metal music. Heavy metal music is a variation of rock but it has more volume and usually more guitar solos as well. Heavy metal is usually associated with aggression but this genre of music can be used as relaxation for some people. Jaylyn seems like the type of person to enjoy heavy metal music just as a relaxation tool instead of only thinking of it as a violent form of rock music. It was interesting to talk about Jaylyn’s music interests because I have only ever met a few people who enjoy music that is more than just pop, country, or rap. She has many bands that she is fond of but she does not have a favorite song. A lot of people are unable to choose a favorite song because there are just so many to choose from or maybe a song has just slipped their mind. One of the songs that she likes is Tightrope by XXXtentacion. XXXtentacion is a rapper who is typically recognized by either a mind blowing performance or outrageous and attention attracting lyrics. This is a rapper that most people do not know about because he is so unique. Jaylyn has very unique music interests, most of which I never

Music is respect. Respect to ones self and to others, whether it is someone that has the same taste in music as you, or someone that has the complete opposite taste as you. That’s something I see happen way to much, people bashing on other people because of what they listen to. Instead of accepting that everyone isn’t going to like what you like. Music is supposed to be something we all have in common, it’s supposed to bring us together and create peace, not turn us against each other. It’s something that we all do, including me at times. Not only in music but in everyday life.

Many young people seek to use music to help themselves be more accepted in the world, so that they can be easily categorisable in the mainstream. Many girls of ages 9 – 13 may have an interest in a popular ‘boy band' of the time. This is an example of how, though a girl's identity could be partly influenced by such a band, ultimately, their music and appeal is limited in scope because after four or five years the band is likely to have split up. The media promotes such a band because it targets girls who are seeking to find an identity and because these years
