Speech And Persuasive Speech

PICTURE THIS: You walk into a new school. You are excited to make friends, so you go up to different people and introduce yourself. The kids find you too different to be their friend. They start shouting out an insult one after another. When you see them in the hallway they yell”Freak!” You ignore them and keep moving, but you are still hurt. What would you do if you were called “Freak?”

As the human race gets older we change the meanings of words to accomplish a deep need to feel superior to other groups of people. This "tragedy looms larger than farce in the United States [and other countries] today" (Kozol). Sometimes people will use a respected name but give it the context of an insult, others use terms of endearment to promote or demote someone, and still others use derogatory names.

proud of the name and use it as a positive symbol others say they are degrading and offended the

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

In the 20th century of course, it has become extremely offensive. It, along with cunt are just about the only taboo words in American discourse today (it's interesting that the most offensive terms have strong racial or gender discrimination components). About the only acceptable use is in Black English when African-Americans use it to refer to themselves.

My mother’s good friend has a daughter that is my brothers age (11), and when she was little she called me Toria. Not Victoria not Tori but Toria. After awhile it slowly started becoming Tori, but it was Toria for a short time. Now with so many names what do my teachers call me? When I was in elementary school it was Victoria, Tori was reserved for my aunt and cousins. But when I went into middle school the teachers started asking would you like to be called something else? Well, new school new name. Now it is frequently Tori but to my grandma and dad it will always be

The school bus was a cesspool of all sorts of not-so -nice things. I had a very strict bus driver, and a couple of my friends and I made quite a bit of noise, so the bus driver split us up, assigning me a seat with the 8th graders. It was like waving a baby in front of a pit-bull, and I got destroyed. The girls were nice enough but those 8th grade boys really enjoyed calling me all sorts of various male genitalia-based names that I probably shouldn’t repeat here. It was my first experience as a bullying victim, and I was determined to make it my

I don’t mind being called any name, except Natalia. There used to be someone I knew and strongly disliked named Natalia. I won’t go into much details, but she wasn’t the nicest person to anyone. Then after I didn’t talk about her in years, people would “accidentally” call me Natalia here and there. At first I would tell them that I don’t like that name, but could easily be angered if they were to continue to use it. So just a tip, don’t call me

Even though he was disappointed him and mom were very happy. My mom wanted me to have a unique name that not many people had as a name. My mother wanted it spelt a certain way to make it trick people on how to say and spell it. By having my named spelt that way made people that I never knew ask me how you say it and how to spell it later on. Even though my name was Alyson my family called me Geezer. My dad was the first one that started calling me that. I had many different nicknames that my whole family would call me. My grandma would call me Tinkerbell, my grandpa would call me Swiper, and all my aunts and uncles called me Ally. The nickname that I loved the most is Geezer because it is like a dog name but still fits my

Furthermore, another reason why I was bullied because I was shorter than all the kids they made fun of me by saying things like aren’t you in fourth grade or you’re in the wrong school buddy. The outcome for this was mostly me having low self-esteem in fifth grade but learning later

I will never forget the words a guy named Johnny said to me when I decided to take the initiative to alter my entire life. Johnny, who I barely knew up to this point of my junior year of high school, approached me and in a hallway packed with students, told me I was fat as hell. I will most certainly never forget the faces of the bastards laughing hysterically as he continued his tirade. “Worthless… shitty…. bastard…. POS” (just to name a few). While some kids expressed concern and asked if I was okay, even though I know they didn’t mean it, most others just jovially agreed with him, not caring how it made me feel. Some even joined in the assault. Honestly, I wanted to punch him in his face right then and there.

Middle school were the worst years I had to go through .Someone notice my teeth weren’t straight and they started to spread the word around the school and kids stated coming up with all these names beaver ,sloth, SpongeBob ,squirrel and many more . I didn’t notice it was consider bullying until I had went to the counselors office and asked what I should do .The counselor didn’t really help all he said was “Just ignore them you’ll be fine” ,but how can

which i didn't know what they meant by that they started beating on me luckly a teacher came by and stopped them which at that time i slipped away.

In our first year, two male classmates called our daughter “fat” when she was in Kindergarten.

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the
