I was reading about George Washington and there are so many inaccurate things about him.
For Example:
George Washington did not chop down a cherry tree. The story was invented by Parson Mason Weems who wrote a biography of Washington shortly after his death. Since so little is known about Washington’s childhood, Weems invented several anecdotes about his early life to illustrate the origins of the heroic qualities he exhibited as an adult.
*George Washington did not have wooden teeth. He had a large collection of false teeth, made of everything from elephatn ivory, walrus tusk, hippopotamus tusk, and one of human teeth. But none were made of wood.
*George Washington did not wear a wig, nor did Thomas Jefferson. Even though wigs were fashionable, they kept their own hair. Both wore theirs long and tied back in a queue, or ponytail. George did, however, powder his hair as was the custom of the time, and as a lawyer Thomas would powder his hair for a trial.

Are. You. Serious.
Are you freaking serious?!
What the hell.
My friend who's been getting sexually abused by her dad for who knows how long finally told authorities about it. She's been missing quite a few classes to speak to the police and go to court and such.
Today, the results came back.
Although they have next to no evidence of her dad being innocent, and the odds are pretty much leaning against him, they let him go with no charges. Living in the same house with her still, everything.
They got her a lock.
That was it.
They purchased a lock for her door.
I mean, that's still good, but she needs to get away from that dirtbag of a dad. She already has major depression and cuts herself constantly because of that monster.
Do you honestly think getting a lock will help?
She can't even put a restraining order on him or anything.
She's pretty much stuck until she moves out.
I am so angry right now. What in all heck.
What is wrong with people these days, I mean really. :<
She's not even allowed to see any friends for awhile because of the police and her mom and such making sure she gets the lock on her door, and until then she has to stay at her house, and can't do anything about it. I don't think she can even invite a friend over to her house or anything.

Oh be calm.
Be calm.
I know you feel like you are breaking down.
I know that it gets so hard sometimes,
Be calm.
Take it from me, I've been there a thousand times.
You hate your pulse because it thinks you're still alive
and everything's wrong
It just gets so hard sometimes
Be calm.

I'm just done with everything, purely defeated.
There is no other way to describe how I feel right now.
Homework, make-up tests, severe depression, perfectionism, inability to go to my first two classes, disappointment I create, my gender related problems, foreclosure, art block, friends, and the list goes on and on.
@Benny;
That sounds absolutely terrible. People in court are sometimes so insensitive and careless, it's hard to believe this is the society we live in. ewe

Oh my god, that's horrid. Your freaking kidding me. That guy obviously has to be kept away from her. How could they even do that. A lock? Seriously, she's probably extremely scared in her own house and the police don't even do anything?
