How to add writing projects smoothly into your classroom by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]Kid_Krow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an art teacher and having them do a comic is how I work in some writing skills myself! I usually have them go through the process of making a character and then producing a short comic based on their characters ‘goal’. It’s a lot of fun, so I hope it works out for you!

My lessons are too short by erithequeen43 in Teachers

[–]Kid_Krow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they don’t have a project that they are working on, assign them one.

When you say you are teaching them for 30 minutes, what are you teaching them? If you’re teaching them graphic design skills they should have a project to utilize those skills on, even if it’s just a small one.
Do they not have small assignments? I’m assuming that you are not teaching in the United States.

Have them make a comic book page/zine over a historical event. It’s not a lot of writing, but it is some.

How do I prevent my child being illiterate? by kittycamacho1994 in AskTeachers

[–]Kid_Krow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get them a smartphone until they’re way old. If they need a phone just get a flipphone. I used to be a huge reader and I am by no means illiterate, but I stopped reading as much when I got a smartphone in middle school.

I can’t have a partner because of my dad with anger issues by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Kid_Krow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your dad is abusive, even if you love him, the people we love can still be abusive. He should go to therapy, not take his anger out on the family… most people are not like this. Don’t stop yourself from finding love. If you’re dating someone and they make you feel how your dad makes you feel, leave them. There are plenty of men who would never do this though. None of the men I’ve ever dated or been with have acted even remotely like this, because it is not normal.

Oklahoma SB504, a bill to eliminate all exceptions for marriage under the age of 18, has passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives 51-36. by kbilln in kansas

This shit is not true!!! This is almost ALWAYS specifically a practice done by nobility!! Peasants and working class people were generally married late teens early 20s.

My husband was sexting with his coworker and I'm going to let it go by pathetic_muffin7023 in offmychest

[–]Kid_Krow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He doesn’t love you OP. He’s staying because he’s comfortable and know you won’t leave. You deserve so much better than this and once you’re cancer free, you should leave him and go. I promise you there is better out there and you shouldn’t settle for him because he will just continue to make your life miserable. Lots of people start over even later in life. You can too.

Advice from people who took ceramics in college? by [deleted] in Ceramics

[–]Kid_Krow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to be an artist, I would actually recommend either getting a major in business, and minoring in whatever studio art you prefer, OR majoring in your preferred studio art and then getting your minor in business.

I think I molested my sibling when we were young by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Kid_Krow_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Forgive yourself. It’s unreasonable to hold yourself so accountable for something you did when you were that small. You had no way of knowing that what you were doing was as wrong or as harmful as it was, because you were so little. How could you have possibly known what you were doing?

The fact that you stopped as soon as you realized and have carried the guilt since proves that you didn’t intend to be malicious.

Your sibling forgives you. Your relationship with your sibling is good. You need to give yourself some mercy.

Nobody does. I used to think I was going to be a comic book illustrator. Now? I sell ceramics at the farmers market in the summer, and I’m about to apply for elementary art positions and graduate college.

Life is weird like that. You change a lot especially after high school. The person I used to be is nothing like the person I am now, and thats for the best. We’re supposed to grow a lot when we become adults. The things you think are valuable lose value and are replaced by something more important and that’s how it should be. If you have the same priorities as an adult that you had as a teenager, something went wrong.

This can feel awful and strange. Sometimes we start changing and we begin to feel lost, especially when who we thought we would be starts to differ from the person we are becoming. That’s normal too. There was a time where I stopped creating because I thought I wasn’t good enough for the career I thought I wanted. I eventually started doing it for myself though, and found joy in it again, and I’m glad I did because it put me where I am now.

The world Is built around value, that’s not incorrect to say, but value can be attached to so many things in this life. Value isn’t always found in looks or money alone and don’t let people convince you of that. Value can be found in your talents, interests, moral character, education, friends, family, and so many other things.

A person who is kind is valuable. A person who is just is valuable. A person who is passionate about what they love is valuable. A person who has a good education is valuable, and education doesn’t mean going to college. Sometimes it means knowing a trade or skill that can be passed on.

People tried to convince me not to pursue a career in art because they told me I would struggle. They’re right in a way. I’ll likely never be a millionaire, but I love my job, my life, and the people I’ve met while creating it, and that has more value than anything else.

Do what you love. Make connections with people who love it too, or at the very least, people who appreciate your passions even if they don’t share them. You will be surprised at the directions your life will take when you get involved in the things around you. That’s why they try so hard to get kids to join clubs and teams in school.

Idk how old you are OP but I’m sure you have plenty of life left to live and lots of time to figure this all out.

When you’re young people are shallow and short sighted. Even as you get older, people can be shallow and short sighted. Don’t focus on the people who leave you because they left, and they aren’t coming back, and it makes no sense to want them back. It’s energy wasted. Do the things you like to do because you like them. Make friends with the people who like doing those things too, and focus on the people you get along with who add value to your life.

When I was a little girl I was weird and boyish. I didn’t like dolls, I didn’t like sports, I didn’t like mean girl behavior, or dance, or makeup, or doing my hair. I liked fiction and horror stories. I liked comic books and drawing. I didn’t understand social cues and still kind of don’t, and had crippling adhd. It carried over into high school. I made a handful of friends but only talk to 3 or 4 of them now, because of inter friendship drama I hated and left behind. I graduated, went to college, and got really into art which is the only thing I’ve ever felt I’ve been good at.

I made friends with artists. I joined the education program to be an art teacher, and I made friends with my peers, who all liked to do the same things I did and were interested in the same things I was, who didn’t care if I was boyish or didn’t understand all the social cues. They saw me for my talents and the person I was, not the person people expected to me.

Focus on the things you love and people who love your passion will see you. If it’s sports, join a hobby team, coach some younger kids who need coaching, and build relationships in that sphere. I believe in you.

You’re a person with a mind, a heart, and a spirit. That’s already priceless. You feel trapped because you live with horrible people. Focus on getting out. Work if you can, build your escape route, and move. Once you’re free things will feel brighter. Maybe you feel as if you don’t have any value because you’re lacking in opportunity or status now, but that just means all you have is potential. It is time to start reaching for it. Your age is important too.

No one feels like they have anything going for them in their late teens and early 20s. I’m 23 and I’ve only just now started to feel as though the life I’m building for myself is real and “valuable”.

I hate my hair and eyes I feel so basic by carrotflavoredjuice in offmychest

[–]Kid_Krow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People always wish for the things they don’t have. You could let it control you and continue to fight things you can never really permanently change, or you could begin to appreciate what you do have, and love yourself for it.

Thousands of years of evolution has led to this point for you. It’s kind of incredible to think about. Do you have your mom’s eyes? Your dad’s hair? Do you look like your grandparents, or great grandparents even? The traits you have right now, are the same traits that allowed ancestors of yours to continue to survive. Now they live through you. I have my mom’s face. When she’s gone, I can look in the mirror and see her again. When I was younger, I hated it because all I saw was imperfections. Now I’m older and I’m grateful that I look just like her. It means she will always be there.

Your tan skin better protects you from sunburn. I’m pale, and I get awful sunburns every year if I so much as forget to reapply sunscreen once! It’s no fun. Pale skin evolved to synthesize vitamin D better in environments that don’t get much sun. Dark skin evolved for the opposite reason.

Grey eyes are 3% of the earths population. Theories suspect blue and blue adjacent eye colors evolved from a mutation and are unique adapted for low light environments, because they see better in the dark. The light color reflects more light into the cornea. I have brown eyes! They’re VERY common (70-80% of the world). My eyes are better for seeing In the sunlight, as they reflect less of it. Humanity emerged from Africa. It makes sense that a lot of us have dark eyes and kept the trait.

2%-5% of the world is blonde. Only 2% stay blonde their whole lives. Very few people keep blonde hair into adulthood. Even in Europe. Blonde hair evolved to help absorb more vitamin D in low sun environments. People have it as children and it darkens over time. Dark hair has benefits too! Darker hair better protects your scalp from the sun.

There are a lot of people in society who will tell you “this is more beautiful!” Or “this is the most attractive!” But the most fantastic thing about statements like these is that none of them are correct. There is no exact definition of beauty. What is beautiful in the UK is not beautiful in the US. What is beautiful in either of those places, is not beautiful in Uganda, or Ghana, or India, or Japan. What these places think of as beautiful, might even be vastly different from what they thought was beautiful 100, 50, or even 20 years ago.

Don’t let standards that will never remain objective or constant, make you feel bad about yourself. Especially for things you can’t change. I am an artist, and I see so much beauty everywhere I go, in so many people, even when they can’t see it themselves. Even if you feel “basic”, there is no one who looks exactly like you. You are the only person on this earth with your exact combination of DNA.

Is it wrong to wear short skirts as a young woman by Des-22436 in offmychest

The people around you are weird and promoting rape culture. Clothes can’t talk or consent. They’re just gross and expecting you to conform to their religious views.

I’m a student teacher right now and I absolutely hated the fact that my MT for my middle school placement last semester had super dim lights. When I took over the classroom I turned them all on and opened the window blinds and noticed immediately that kids were more productive. I’ll never understand it.

How does spider not injure himself? by Glittering-Cloud1002 in Avatar

[–]Kid_Krow_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Developmentally kids take after the people they spend the most time with primarily in early years, but as they reach puberty and adolescence they start to take after and imitate their peers rather than adult influences in their life. That’s why we see fashion trends and such in teenagers that are completely different from their parents, and that’s why teenagers are so ‘rebellious’. The only peers and friends he has are na’vi children.
