Elderly Abuse essay!

        As you know, nursing-homes, or retirement homes are for elderly people to live without worrying about mowing the lawn, or taking the trash out, but often they are places full of abuse and hatred without people even knowing.
      There are over 6 million cases of elderly abuse every year. Many will go unreported. California continues to be the state with the greatest number of elder abuse. Iowa only have about 65,844 cases, while California has about 632,693 cases. More than half of these cases will never even see a trial.
One of those cases did however, Cesar Ulloa was found guilty of all 8 counts against him. He killed 84 year old Elmore Kittower. The family thought it was from natural causes, but after someone at the home said something, the L.A. county sheriffs deputies exhumed his body and found trauma; nultiple broken bones, and and autopsy showed blunt force trauma as acause of death.
      Ulloa broke over two dozen ribs, he will be in prison for like. But many cases like this never see juctice.
Often, people don't even believe that this kind of stuff is going on. I mean who would suspect someone about 20-30 years of age to beat the hell out of an elder? But people DO, do it, and have no trouble sleeping at night.
       The most common forms of abuse are; physical, financial, sexual and psychological, and neglect. Whats really disturbing is that up to eighty percent of this abuse is done in the hands of family members.
One of the main reasons it stays un-reported is because of the shame associated with it. Many older people won't call out because they're ashamed their family member is treating them so badly.
       Bus basically elderly people may pay up to $70,000 just to live in homes like nursing-homes to have people care for them, not torture them, and in some cases even kill them.
Elderly abuse DOES happen, and it will continue to until the right things are done to stop it.

What my parents do to embarrass me.

My mom has nicknames for all of her kids. And they embarrass the crap out of me and my siblings. My mother tends to call me, "Tuger" or, "Tugerbutt" and she does it in public and she does it on purpose. I've asked her.  Granit, I do love my mom,  she just has the tendency to embarrass me everywhere we go with old memories and my damn nickname! 

Worst teacher I ever had!

  The worst teacher I ever had was Mrs. Gerdts. I had her my seventh grade year and the first day of school she sent me to the office because she had told the class to be quiet and about two minutes after I had sneezed but I held it in so it sounded kinda funny and she sent me to the office! >:(
And every time you tried to correct her when she was wrong she would say "excuse me? I'm the teacher here, not you." To me and to many other students she was disrespectful and thats why she got fired after that year (her first) (:.

Autpbiography

I'm Brad, I'm kinda out going, and I usually never shut up. Most people say I have girly handwriting, but I think they can screw off. I was born in Davenport April 23, 1995, and then moved to maine, where I lived for only a few months. I don't know what I want to do in my future, but I know I want it to be happy and not poor.

Someone important in my life is my Grandma because she is so freaking hilarious! :D

In ten years I picture myself at a party with a bunch of naked chicks, hot tubs, and drugs. But 20 years down the road I hope I'll be settled in with kids and probably a raging alcoholic. 

 Thats pretty much how I look at life and what's going to happen! PEACE!

It's warm outside today, and I like it A LOT!
