CURRENT EVENTS!! xD SPRING BREAK! This spring break was pretty exciting. We did a lot of really cool things. We had an Easter Egg Hunt for Easter Sunday. We made dream catchers and we had a barbeque. We watched tons of movies. We got kinda bored, but it was nice not having school for a while (By Savannah!!

“Time”

The time we spend together is rare and oh so true,

But the time we spend apart makes me feel sad and blue.

The time we spend together lifts me up and makes my heart soar,

And the time we spend apart is full of closed doors.

The time we spend together is wonderful because of all the things you do,

And the time we spend apart just reminds me “ I love you”.

Hello everyone, my name is Ryan, and today I would like to share my thoughts. The other day, a number of girls walking back to their unit went past the boys unit. They looked over and one waved, and as they did several of the others were staring out of the window. What I saw on our side of the window made me sad. I saw a lot of disrespect from a select few people and it made me wonder why. Why is it that there is so little respect among us? Not just people here but everywhere. Why has it become socially acceptable for men to gawk and speak out disrespectfully against women? What happened to the ideals of chivalry? Think about the girl you taunt. What if she was your daughter and someone else did the same. How would you feel? Even though she’s not your daughter, she’s //someone’s//. I can’t make anyone change, but I can be an example. I choose to stand for respect and honor, and I ask that for the sake of //people,// that you will choose to do the same. -Ryan V. That's one of the best things I've ever read on here. It's well written and very thoughtful. Thank you. Much respect (: By the way,Ryan V, your post was way adorbs:) Much apprectiated! Don't ever forget that. People who think like that get places:) Good luck:)

Ryan V: Thanks for your post. The girls at Artec really appreciate it. I think it's really cool that there are other guys that notice how much women are disrespected and actually care about it.So thanks again (

Dear Artec Boys & Girls, My name is Brad and I’m going to be giving you all some advice. I’ve noticed the last two months that I’ve been here in Artec that everyone’s going to get mad. I know that being locked up and being with 7 other young Men and Women that it’s not going to be easy, but you can’t let others control your emotions! I have some peers on our unit that once one person gets inside their head they lose control of their emotions. I’ve noticed that once they lose control and that other peer has their emotion control in their hands then they do things to make you mad, to get you to react to things that they want you to do. They get under your skin and then taunt you and make you do things to see a reaction. Don’t allow others to control your emotions! Stand up for yourself and walk away if you feel like others are starting to bug or push your buttons. Take a time out for a few minutes then come back with a clear head and work the problem out. When you’re looking and seeing with red then all your going to get is negative things. Just remember if you’re in control of you then no one can make you look like a fool and make you mad. You control yourself. Make it a positive stay so you can get home to your families. Yeah I know that it’s not easy, but it can be done. I’m tired of being locked up and away from my family so I’m going to make it the best and get myself home. I’ve been gone a year and a half, time to get home to my family. Don’t do it for anyone besides yourself!!! Hope you all take in the advice and use it. I’m not just talking because I want to hear myself talk. I’m doing it because I care and because I want you all to be back at home. Think about what you really want in life and then do it. If you get mad, say this to yourselves "is it going to matter in an hour"? If it’s going to matter in an hour then don’t get mad about it. Move on. As a past peer always told me forgive and forget!! Your Friend, Brad W.

We have AA group Tuesdays, a man came into Artec we listened to his story. He had been through a lot. He wanted us to know that he felt right at home being here with us. We let him know we feel like a family. We want to let kids know if you go to a treatment center, look for one or two kids to look up to. Find good traits about that person and use what you need/like. Kids, need guidance, so look for good people. There’s a good kid with good knowledge so when someone tells you what to do, do not take it as, “Oh, he’s trying to control you.” You may not know he/she may just be helping you. Most people think, “I am the boss of my life, so someone cannot tell me what to do.” When someone says what to do take it into consideration; it’s not to be the boss it is just a helping hand. They are trying to be a friend to you. People make mistakes so just try the advice and say, “Thanks for the advice.” Cody I AM GOING TO SE E MY MOM AND MY GRANDPA AT STEPPING STONES. I AM HOPING TO GET SOME THING TO EAT OR FIX. I THINK MY MOM WILL TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD ABOUT MY DOG KOTA BEAR.. AT LEAST SHE WILL BE HONEST AND MY GRANDPA WILL TELL ME SOME THING FUNNY. I AM PLANING ON A VERY GOOD VISIT. BY JAYDEN Music Review By Antonio

Nelly is good at r apping. I like songs that are cool and funny. I like Ride Wit Me by Nelly, my sister likes it. I saw Nelly at the concert in Salt Lake City. Nelly is very sick at singing. Movie review The best movie I think is Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 2. I think that is the best movie. This movie is about 900 or so vampires. But there is 1 family called the Cullen’s that lives off of animal blood. I so wish that I were a vampire in this movie.

By Justin H. This girl is struggling to fit in the shell she’s made for herself. Her thighs are too big and her brain too small. Her skin too dry and her hair too messy. The thread is too weak to hold it all together. She can’t get anything symmetrical. And she loses the needle in the mess of fabric. The other girls stare from their hollow shell and laugh. They watch her struggle. She doesn’t know the music she likes, or the clothes she should wear. Or the people to talk to, much less who to love. She couldn’t care less about the laughing girls, or judgmental bystanders. She’s the problem. She never meets her standards. Or achieves her goals. She is her worst critic. She is her own worst enemy. One day she’ll make a shell that fits. It will be small enough she won’t get lost, But big enough for freedom. She will make a shell that fits. She is her own worst enemy.

Alex She She used to be my hero when I was in a chokehold. She melted the pain away when I was so froze. She was my new day when things got too old. Me and her were a good pair thought I would never fold. I’m contemplating in my head if I should still chase. Caught in a maze you say it’s just a phase. But hate is setting in and it turns in to days. Days in to months, why does it keep switchin. Trying to feed for us to I was your nutrition. Melody, tempo, you was my musician. Shown you things you have never seen like a magician. Lifestyle addiction, led to this condition. Trying to make you love me, an impossible mission. Debatin’ back and forth like we politicians. Now we are tryna play chicken, with a heart break collision. I took my time hope you guys like it enjoy. Comment if you like it lol. I am writing about a movie called Don’t Be a Menace To South Central While Drinking Your Juice In The Hood. This movie came out January 12 1996. The main actors are [|Shawn Wayans] ,and [|Marlon Wayans]. It is rated R. This is a comedy about the main actors making fun of gangsters and other gangster movies like Boys N the Hood, Colors, American Me, and South Central.

What was your first pet? A dog. What was your first job? Lagoon How many kids do you have? 2 How long have you lived in Utah? 27 years What was your first car that you had? Chevy Celebrity Do you play any sports? Soccer Have you taking any trips? Going to Myrtle Beach Do you like working at aretc? Yes How many sisters do you have? 1 By Taren ** Music By Mac Dre **



I like how Mac Dre talks about Money and how it makes the world turn. I also like that he talks about girls and his overlook on specific types of girls. I also like that Mac Dre talks about true stuff that goes on in the world, he also talks about the streets. I think that if you like to hear about true stuff then you need to listen to songs by Mac Dre or other Bay Area Rappers. By Isiah // My artec news is on twilight saga because it is a pretty cool movie. //
 * Title-Game 4 Sale **

// So the movie starts out with a young teenage girl her life is the same as any other teenage girl until she meets the mysterious Edward Cullen at first they didn’t get off to a good start because her smell was irresistible to Edward and so he disappears for a while then when he comes back they start to talk a little bit but not for long but the more they talk the more bell starts to wonder if Edward really is a human. So she goes to the local library to find more answer but as soon as she walks back trouble surrounds her from every corner but as soon as she thought all hope was lost right before her very eyes Edward appears out of plain sight but even though she cant see she feels protected and secure and decided to get in the car with him. After all of that he decided to get her dinner at this little nice restaurant and as they order Bella is carious and ask Edward how he new where she was at first to her //
