“I am committed to writing appropriate books for the middle grades. This means no bad language, no gratuitous or explicit violence, and no sexual content beyond what you might find in a PG-rated movie – expressions of who likes whom, holding hands, and perhaps the occasional kiss. The idea that we should treat sexual orientation itself as an adults-only topic, however, is absurd. Non-heterosexual children exist. To pretend they do not, to fail to recognize that they have needs for support and validation like any child, would be bad teaching, bad writing, and bad citizenship.” NeedsShouldWritingMeanChildrenBookIdeasHandsMightWould BeLanguageSupportViolenceFailingTeachingMiddleExpressionKissingAdultsTreatsCommittedLikesAbsurdGradesAppropriateCitizenshipTopicsOccasionalOrientationValidationExplicitHolding HandsBad WritingBad Language Author:Rick Riordan
“Greed, desire, ambition, jealousy, possessiveness, domination - you have to watch everything. And they are all interconnected, remember. If greed disappears, then anger will disappear. If anger disappears, jealousy will disappear. If jealousy disappears, violence will disappear. If violence disappears, possessiveness will disappear. They are all intertwined. In fact, they are spokes of the same wheel, and the hub that supports them all is the ego. So watch the ways of the ego.” IfsWayFactsRememberDesireWatchesSupportViolenceEgoAmbitionGreedDisappearJealousyWheelsSpokesDominationInterconnectedIntertwinedPossessivenessHub Author:Rajneesh
“The young love and cherish people and places from which they receive the skills and the emotional support which enable them to make it in the world or to meet their basic human needs. The same people and places are often the first recipients of the frustration and anger--violence, vandalism, disrespect--of young people who are not making it well in the world. I suspect that this is the reason that personal and school property violence is increasing more rapidly than school burglary and dropout rates.” PeopleWorldNeedsFirstsHumansWellsReasonSchoolYoungSupportViolenceEmotionalSkillsPropertyRateFrustrationSuspectsCherishDisrespectYoung LoveHuman NeedsEmotional SupportDropoutsVandalismBurglaryBasic Human Needs Author:James P.

“Two thirds of the work in the world is done by women. Women own 1 percent of the assets. Young women are sold into prostitution, forced labour, premature marriage, forced to have children they don't want or they can't support. They're abused, raped, beaten up. Domestic violence is supposed to be a cultural problem. They are the first victims of war, fundamentalism, conflict, recession. And young women who have access to education and health care and have resources think that everything was done, they don't have to worry.” ThinkingWorldWantFirstsChildrenTwoWarDoneProblemCareYoungWorrySupportViolenceConflictPercentResourcesThirdsVictimAccessSupposed To BeHealth CareLabourAssetsYoung WomenFundamentalismBeatenDomestic ViolenceProstitutionMen WomenRecessionsPrematureAccess To EducationVictims Of War Author:Isabel Allende
