ASOIAF American highschool AU bc I want them to suffer
-Jon is that guy you see in the hall all the time and he’s super cute but then you talk to him and he’s just. The most pretentious asshole you’ve ever met. He’s better than you bc he takes AP classes btw. And he’s on the basketball team but he’s brooding so he barely has any friends
-Dany is a little FREAK ugh I love her. She’s a GSA officer and wears weird clothes and cat ears to school and everyone makes fun of her but she’s the nicest person ever. Very passionate ab her special interests. super smart too like no one can say that she isn’t top of class
-Sansa is the nice popular religious girl who likes to make cookies for people. She’s like condescending nice though and is sweet to the losers mostly out of pity. Obsessed with Loras in a comphet way to cover her real crush on Margaery. She is on the swim team and loves to run the student council like the navy
-Arya is on the soccer and basketball team. Slightly to weird to be popular but too cool to be a loser. Kind of disruptive in class but it’s okay bc she’s funny. Definition of a low maintenance girl. Cuts her hair short and likes the way she looks in a sports bra and baggy clothes but has yet to find out what non-binary is
-Robb Homecoming King football captain you get the gist. Sincerely nice and is the one jock who’s on good terms with literally everyone in his classes. Tries his best to defend Jon (it is so hard) Has dated around but his most intense relationship is with his drug dealer burnout bestie Theon. They get jealous when the other starts dating a girl (both of them have yet to find out what bisexualism is)
-Joffrey is a grade A bitchass. He’s on the soccer or lacrosse team only because Cersei bribed the coach. No one really likes him but they hang around him anyway because he has a sick ass house and his moms hot. Thinks he’s smarter than he actually is, maintains a C- average
-Bran is that freshman you only see in khaki shorts and graphic t-shirts about bugs or some shit. Completely lives in his own world (autism slay!) and has trouble interacting with other kids. Besties with Meera and Jojen tho who just get him. Reads big ass philosophy books in his spare time
-Aegon is Dany’s cooler cousin. He’s way more popular than Jon and the two have a one sided rivalry that Jon made up in his head. Pretty nice to other people but he thinks he is such hot shit. His superiority complex is kinda crazy
-Theon graduated last year but still hangs around campus. Goes to Robb’s football games and sells drugs under the stands. “Where’s my hug at” guy. Drives a beat up Honda civic that’s on its last legs. Has multiple misdemeanors on his record. Robb thinks he can fix him
-Loras is Robb’s teammate who’s also mister popular. Already has a scholarship to a D1 school and is every teachers favorite (he takes advantage of this to skip class). Smart but doesn’t really try that hard in class. A classic DL gay guy who is in a situationship with grad student Renly after lying about his age on grindr
-Davos is everyone’s favorite History or English teacher. Gets invested in the students wellbeing. Gay kids LOVE him, he never can have a lunch period to himself those kids who are looking for a father figure are always eating lunch in his classroom. Has a loving wife and kids but is down bad for the eternally suffering Vice Principal Stannis
-Robert is the football coach and in most American schools you have to be a teacher to be a coach so he probably teaches health or sex Ed or some shit. Half asses his classes so he can go over film with his football players instead. You can hear him yelling from across campus. He is so loud
-Stannis is the vice principal who absolutely no one likes except Davos. Even the teachers don’t respect him. Has wanted to be principal for years but keeps getting fucked over by administration. Wants to move to a different school district so he can get a pay raise but the sexy Spanish teacher Mel is trying to convince him to blackmail the school board instead
-Tywin the principal. Used to be a AP US history or AP economics teacher but then discovered that he hated kids so he bullied and bribed his way into the principal position. Kids run when they hear him in the hallway with his walkie talkie crackling and his keys jangling. Lets Joffrey get away with everything bc he’s the principals grandson
-Cersei as the head of the school board. Always shoveling funds to her kids school instead of any of the other ones in the school district. Probably is in some sort of tax evasion or bribery scandal that Tywin is trying to cover up. Number one passive aggressive hater on Facebook

Headcanon Stuff
 I realized I have a lot of headcanons how hero licenses work and I wanted to share them. Note: Some of this is based on Canada’s driving licenses. As well this includes what I call Quirk Permits.
Quirk Permit 
We see multiple cases of people using their Quirk in public- Inko one of them when she pulls her son’s toy to her. As such, I have thought up what I call a Quirk Permit.
A Quirk Permit is a permit that lets you use your Quirk in specific areas. For example: A learning permit allows children to use their Quirk in training areas to learn how to control them. 
The system goes like this:
Learning Permit: All kids get this. It lets kids learn to use their Quirk in specific areas and also at home.
Training Permit: Kids with unstable or dangerous Quirks or kids who want to be heroes get these. These permits allow the children to train their Quirk in specific areas or in their own home and backyard. 
In Home Use Permit: Inko has one of these. It allows her to use her permit while inside her home. In fact most of the population has these.
Job Specific Permit: Uraraka and Midoriya discuss this briefly. He mentions she can get permission to use her Quirk at her parents’ company which is what this would do. So if you can use your Quirk at your job you get this one.
Public Use Permit: A permit for the usage of Quirk in public. Now, these permits only go to people like Hagakure and Tokoyami- Quirks that are on all the time or those who have Sentient Quirks because they can’t help what their Quirks do.
Hero Licenses
Now we get to the licenses.
Provisional License: I honestly think this is like a learner’s for a driving exam. You only can use it with permission and while under the watch of an older mentor.
Intern License: Like a class 5 GDL (For Americans and others who don’t know- Graduated. Not an actual license yet, but close enough most of us stick with this for a few years or forever), this license is used for Interns who aren’t sidekicks but no longer need the supervision of someone more experienced. (Also, side note- I then headcanon part of the reason Mirio doesn’t take Eri with them is because technically he isn’t allowed to be the mentor for Izuku while he only has a provisional. Like everyone sends interns the first few days of casual patrols but otherwise no.)
Sidekick License: Like a Class 5 license, non GDL, they are a sidekick who doesn’t need to be supervised, and can mentor Provisional and Intern. 
Now this is where I kinda step away from what I’m used to.
Rescue Hero License: Self-explanatory, the licenses that a rescue-based hero uses.
Capture Hero License: A license that a hero based in capture uses (Meaning they restrain villains.)
Intelligence Hero License: A license an information gatherer would use as a hero. Also is known as ‘undercover hero license’ as heroes who work undercover also use this.
Combat Hero License: A hero who engages in combat would have this as a license.
All Rounder License: A license that lets someone work as rescue, capture, intelligence and combat. You can work your way up to this one- you just need to pass each license exam.
Underground License: Just the All Rounder license but you HAVE to get it to work underground. All Rounder License holders enter into the official records for heroes, but underground heroes don’t. This is also the hardest license to get as you MUST take all of the exams at once, as underground heroes have to often do all four at once.
Now- you can have two or more licenses. Most people have combat no matter what. It’s rare that a hero doesn’t. 
Thirteen for example has Rescue and Combat listed on their license. However, they aren’t a good fit for Capture as part of their duties, So when participating in raids they aren’t allowed to work with the capture squad. 
Mt. Lady has Capture, Combat and Rescue on her license. 
Kamui Woods has the Same
Now, then, we get into it more.
Someone can only have an Underground License but also work partly as a limelight hero. This is Sir Nighteye.
Most students who graduate from a Hero High School only have a Provisional or Intern license. It is very rare that people graduate with a Sidekick or Hero license. You can, it’s just rare. 
Some don’t even have a license at all.
 So then, this is where I play with the school system.
Hero School System
You have hero schools and then Hero Universities.
But this is where I really have fun.
Rescue Hero Schools: Schools that are based solely on training rescue heroes.
Combat Hero Schools: Schools that are based solely on training combat heroes.
Intelligence Hero Schools: Schools that are based solely on training intelligence heroes.
Capture Hero Schools: Schools that are based solely on training capture heroes
Now- there are a hundred at least EACH of these schools. They’re not rare.
But then we have the rare type.
All Rounder Hero Schools: Schools that do not focus on only training one type. This is what UA is. As well, typically underground heroes come from these schools and each school has at least one or two on staff to train potential underground heroes.
 UA has Eraserhead and actually another who is a Math teacher for Gen Ed. 
Now, when someone graduates from one of the above but does NOT have a license yet, or only has an Intern or Provisional license, they then typically go to a Hero University where they continue their education.
This is where I really mess with canon.
 As we know, a stat offered about UA is that only 0.2% of people who take the exam actually get in. I in turn call that statistic taken out of context.
0.2% is the over all amount of graduates per year FROM UA that come from the hero course Meaning- out of 20,000 graduates, only 40 come from the UA. 
 And before anyone goes that’s too high, it really isn’t. Japan in 2019 had 126.3 million people.
UA is actually the only hero school that almost always has students graduate who do become heroes. Shiketsu usually is about 50/50.
 Hero Universities are places students continue learning or actually start their journeys. You don’t need to have come from a hero course to enter a Hero University. In fact, some purposely focus on other things first because they A) need more time to work with their Quirk or B) had other reasons they couldn’t enter a hero based course in highschool.
There is also another school. It’s made for students who have the potential to be heroes but have serious attitude issues that cause plenty of problems for others, or they have criminal records (Nothing to serious is allowed, but theft, minor assault cases and the such is allowed. Drug dealer, sexual assault and murder no). This school is special as you are required to go to a hero university before being allowed to get any sort of license at all. 
Hero Licensing Exam Rules and Laws
I made this it’s own section because I wanted to include the Hero University stuff to.
Provisional Licenses are good for fifteen years. After that, you’re done. You don’t get to take the exam again. This is done because you then take the other licenses while you still have it. Let’s say you take the Provisional at age 18- you then have until you are 33 to try and get another. Provisional licenses are ONLY offered if you are part of a Hero Course High School or attending a Hero University. You MUST be either one. Or you must have attended one.
Intern Licenses are good for five years each, and you can retake the licenses four times- make it twenty years you can remain as an intern. You cannot renew, but can retake. You also NEED to have at least three months with a provisional under your belt. If you do not retake before the five years (plus a month in case of time issues), you drop back to a provisional. Intern licenses are handed through agencies or by a mentor hero. You must either have a mentor or an agency vouch for you.
Sidekick Licenses are good for five years, and you can renew. Failure to renew means you drop back to intern. There is NO limit to this. You can remain a sidekick for your entire career- in fact a lot of people do because they can’t get a hero license. To get a hero license is extremely difficult. Sidekick licenses are only offered once you have had an Intern License for a year. 
Hero Licenses are good for five, and you can renew. Failure to do so means dropping back to sidekick. There are no limits to hero licenses, however the test itself can ONLY be taken ten times. After that no more. You can’t take it again. If you can’t pass the test in ten times, they don’t want you to be a hero. You must have had a Sidekick License for two years before taking the test. 
Exceptions to hero licensing are if a student is getting more experience then normal. For example: Class 1A students have villains targeting them, so they might be allowed to get intern licenses early with the potential to land sidekick ones early to, and All Might received a Hero License early due to a lot more experience.
 Hope this all made sense for how I have things set up in my fics!
Heroic Law
AKA Random Laws that might be references (created mostly by @anastasian-dreamer but I use them to)
Hero’s Right To Privacy: Any hero, when not on duty, has the right to stay out of the public eye without consequence or being pressured to otherwise. The following law is the only exception.  
Public’s Right To Knowledge: If someone is suspicious that a hero is performing poorly outside of duty, be it illegal activity or societal indecency (?), the public has the right to demand a publicist investigation. This law can not be abused due to the previous law. 
Hero Executioner: In extreme situations, and only by no other choice, a hero has the right to kill a villain. 
    Note1: the hero must be ready for an intense, publicized inquiry into their actions
    Note2: If the hero uses this law 3 times at any point in their careers, they will be investigated for abuse of the law. 
        Addendum: Due to the Paralisa Inquiry1 in France, the Hero in question will be tested for unknown quirk developments before being investigated for law abuse. 
1: the Paralisa Inquiry refers to when the French hero Paralisa was investigated for Abuse of the Law. An unrelated quirk check revealed that her quirk, a paralysing neurotoxin gas, had increased potency over time and had become deadly. Paralisa was compensated for the trauma caused by the quirk development and the investigation. 
Hero’s Right Of Public Care: If a hero has reason to suspect that someone is being abused, the hero has the right to start an investigation and remove that person from the situation. 
    Note1: The hero must be ready to defend their logic. 
Hero’s Right To Defense: if a hero is attacked, verbally or physically, the hero in question has the right to defend themselves accordingly. 
Public Right of Dismissal: If enough of the public decides that a hero’s actions are sufficiently unforgivable, the public has the right to demand that hero be dismissed from duty immediately as long as the public has not relied on prejudice or gossip for their demand of dismissal.
Hero’s Right To Family: A hero has the right to have a family. A hero cannot be denied the adoption of a child due to their job. A hero has the right to retain custody of their child unless they have proven to be unfit, not because of a dangerous job.
    Note 1: A hero also has the right to marry who they wish.
    Note 2: A hero’s family has the right to remain private unless permission is given to the media to report on the family.

OUR COLLEGES, OUR COURTS, OUR COUNTRY: WHAT THE KAVANAUGH HEARIN​GS TAUGHT ME ABOUT ELITE INSTITUTIONS
Our country has experienced a revolution of sorts; now more than ever before, cases of sexual assault are being brought to the forefront of American society. Issues of misconduct have seeped their way into Hollywood, politics, and— perhaps less obviously— our schools. Brett Kavanaugh, who was recently approved to serve as a justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, attended the prestigious Georgetown Preparatory School as well as Yale Law School. These two schools have much in common: they’re both elite, expensive institutions that breed privilege as well as a culture which can make students feel as though their status puts them above the law. Perhaps not coincidentaly, at both institutions, Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault and misconduct by multiple women. Most notably, Dr. Christine Ford testified to the Senate and recounted her experience in front of politicians and America. Regardless of whether you believe Dr. Ford’s testimony, one thing remains clear: sexual assault and the culture that accompanies it is alive and well within elite schools. Yale News reports that Ivy League schools were found to have higher rates of sexual assault than the average college or university. Paulina Bahary, a senior at Cornell, stated, “I see manifestations of rape culture almost every day in my school community. This isn’t specific to solely Cornell, but present in every privileged, ‘elite’ institution that I have attended [Fieldston and Emory]. Slut shaming, victim blaming, cohesion, and a misunderstanding of consent and the word ‘no’ is commonplace. I think that among white, wealthy men in particular, there is a common, overarching feeling of being entitled, untouchable, and of more importance and value than subordinate groups.” On a similar note, the University of Southern California, one of the most prestigious colleges in the country, made headlines when a school gynecologist was accused by over 100 women of sexual assault during his thirty year career at the university. His long career was not a product of a lack of complaints by his victims, but rather USC’s blatant disregard for the victims’ accusations. A comparable case occurred at Stanford when Brock Turner, a student and valued member of the swim team, was convicted of assaulting an unconscious woman and was given a mere six month jail sentence, which many felt was inadequet. Transparency and education surrounding sexual assault contribute to its prevalence. Elite institutions want to have spotless reputations; discussing these issues as directly impacting their school community mars the institution’s facade. highschool Junior Imani Camara stated, “The failure to educate teens and openly talk about these issues makes getting away with assault easier. Change begins and ends with education.” High school and college students are most threatened by this epidemic: the National Center for Victims of Crime reports that 80% of rape victims experienced their first rape before the age of 25, and 42% before the age of 18. If our students are most at risk, why they have some of the most prestigious schools in the country fallen short in addressing the problem? highschool Junior Jacyn Daniels stated, “Elite schools often consider if the family of the perpetrator donates money to the school. If that is the case, they look past the morality of the situation and sweep it under the rug.” Senior Xander Luke-Mallett agreed, stating, “Although rape culture is perpetuated through all socioeconomic strata, it is definitely more prevalent amongst the elite.” In a highly publicized recent case at Columbia University, a male student whose parent served on the Board of Trustees was allowed to remain enrolled and graduate despite credible accusations of sexual assult by multiple female students. Although parental donation may play the most significant role in fostering rape culture within a school itself, if the case is brought to court, the judicial system contributes in skewing the outcome at the state level. Cornell senior Paulina Bahary, who worked at the New York District Attorney’s office in the domestic violence precinct, explained, “I was glad to see that the law is interpreted and applied in the same way for all perpetrators, regardless of race and background. I met over 50 prosecutors, and I can say with certainty that none of them would pursue a case a certain way based on a defendant’s identifiers. Regardless, there are other functioning systems at play. The most prevalent manifestation of inequality is the extent to which money affects your relationship with the criminal justice system. This isn’t because you will be favored by prosecutors because you have money, but rather, because you have access to more expensive, competent attorneys who will do a better job of representing you at trial (which could lead to less charges and lower sentencing), or get you a deal with the DA that a defendant with less resources would have no idea even existed.” In order to dismantle the systems which contribute to the problematic wealth disparity in the justice system, we need leaders who will care enough to do so. Leaders who have benefited from these systems themselves may not be as inclined to break them down. Once allegations agaisnt Kavanuagh were made public, defenses rolled in quickly, characterizing each event (if it happened), as a stupid, childish mistake. All too often people dismiss this kind of behavior as “boys being boys.” This concept suggests the behavior is innocent and insignificant. Highschool Junior Wes Hauser stated, “We have to do better as a community. Not just at Columbia Prep but at institutions like these in general. If we’re not aware of the issue and actively trying to fix it, behavior like this will continue.” https://siteforsoreeyes.blog/2018/12/24/our-colleges-our-courts-our-country-what-the-kavanaugh-hearin%E2%80%8Bgs-taught-me-about-elite-institutions/

Who is Maine Mendoza for this Storyteller?
Maine is just a simple celebrity for me as I watched her first in July of 2015. Few months after that, I started venturing in my inconsistent freelance career. I’m a home-based content writer submitting my outputs through email or uploading in a Wordpress admin account. I’ll make sure at 12:00, I have to watch Eat Bulaga to have a glimpse of her. As the days passed by, I just find myself laughing and smiling at the slapstick comedy and funny antics of her silent character relying on Dubsmash.
I did not know it was a point of no return of my fangirling on Maine.
Being in a fandom is not new to me. I was an active UAAP vball fan before to the point I would even watch highschool vball games to know who are the prized bluechip recruits all UAAP teams want to have in their program. I made my Twitter account almost a decade ago to follow the Gosiengfiao sisters (Alodia and Ashley) to interact with them via tweets. Also, through Twitter and other socmed sites, I got to be in a fangroup of Pinay American Idol finalist Thia Megia and saw her in person. Through social media too, I met other fans of our Olympian Yan Lariba and met her in a friendly encounter.
I know the good side and also the bad side of fangirling. I’ve been into useless arguments with online trolls and I admit their words get to me…until I just learned to be indifferent and not mind it at all. Then here comes Maine. I was hesitant to be a vocal fan because of her immense popularity but again she just have that “something” in her that I want to root for.
I started profiling Maine like how I used to in the other celebrities I look up to her public accounts like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Ask.fm and lastly her blog….
MAY BLOG SI MAINE!!!
MGA KAPITBAHAY MAY BLOG SI MAINE!!!
Yes, I was surprised to know she has a blog!! My writer heart is leaping with joy!! That was the conviction I told myself it would be easier to fangirl for her since writing is my core and passion.
I started following her and knowing more about her like how she is close to her family, the rumors she went to PBB Auditions, and her other past Youtube uploaded videos. But I was still a silent fan back then since I am clueless how to handle a barrage of comments from other fans once I begin to be vocal. I am happy as a silent fan until the inevitable thing happened…
Maine released her Open Letter in November 26, 2017.
Yes, I won’t forget how I cried after reading it and not enjoying the ice cream I am eating on a Sunday afternoon. I began to connect the dots. I wanted to hate some people and wish them to have double, triple the pains of whatever Maine felt. I do want to start expressing my support for her to prove there are still like me…”isa sa sampu” fans of Maine.
The problem though is I am still at a down moment by that time. I failed to handle the pressure of a teaching career. I love the kids inside the classroom but the paperworks overwhelmed me. Attendance, quizzes, understanding the lesson plan, submitting other requirement, etc---those did not fare good for me. I just realized I only want to be with the kids even if I am with them 6-7 hours straight, I don’t get tired at all. I found out I like to be a public speaker but I cannot cope up with the tremendous responsibilities of the teacher.
Being an overthinker, I felt I failed again not myself but my family and everyone who believed in me. I was down for months and clueless what to do next. I even think if there would still be a company or business owner who would take risk with me seeing my resume with months of no work as I rested after resigning from the teaching post.
I thought of how I am a burden again and have no direction in my career, whereas my batchmates might already be settling down with their partners, finishing their master’s degree, or exploring more of what they can do abroad. There I was, clueless and do not know again where to start. I am just thankful I have a supportive family and set of friends who waited until I got tired of being afraid and overthinking.
There were even days I wish I can just sleep forever and not wake up to those clueless and empty days again. I was also telling God that time I wish I was the one He took instead of my papa who passed away in 2007 due to an illness. Because my papa would be able to help my family instead of my inconsistency, fears, and overthinking. I was in that bargaining stage and I am too blinded, hurt, and tired to see my own worth and potential.
In those dark times, I would pray for a direction…for an enlightenment. Angels in the form of my friends and my family gave me words to fight back. It was enough to hold on….until I saw an excerpt from Maine’s book through an online article of cosmo.ph promoting her book:
“Things may go from bad to worse and you might feel like it’s never going to change, but believe me when I say it will get better. Everything will be all right, I promise you. We may have our own different battles, but remember there is only one God. He is always looking down on us wherever we go and whatever obstacle we face. You may currently be in a lot of pain, but you never know what God has in store for your future.
Marami pang magagandang bagay ang mangyayari sa buhay mo. Magtiwala ka. Kapit lang, laban lang.
P.S.  If you are looking for a sign on whether you should still hold on or give up, this is it. Hold on tight, my dear. Don't you ever give up; never ever give up. “
I cried and smiled after reading it. “Ikaw talaga Lord ha, si Maine pa pinadala Mo rin para sabihin kaya ko pa.” The darker those moments are for me, the brighter are all the Bearers of Light shone in my life. I begin to see more how my mama is patient with me, how my brothers would ask what do I want to eat or where do I want to go, friends who would tell me they will meet me anywhere I wish to be…and that excerpt from Maine’s book.
So I told myself: May laban pa ako. Isang subok pa.
It took me until January to gather all my guts. I started editing my resume. I came back to my freelancing career by looking for homebased jobs. It was also the time I just thought of blogging for Maine. I was still doubting if I am ready to be a vocal fan…but I know in my heart if God is telling me to do something even if I am still scared or doubtful of it.
I posted my first entry about Maine on this tumblr account. What comes next are series of unexpected blessings coming in my way…I did not look for them but the opportunities found me instead. Here are some of them:
(a)    Got a DM asking if I can write for Clairedelfinmedia.com after they read my blog about Maine and Nadine parallelisms
(b)   Got invited twice to Maine’s bday party by generous fans. First is when I told her she is a Bearer of Light and we are her 10th heartbeat in the #EnchantressMaine23. Second is when I co-host in the #DearMaine bday event.
(c)    An anonymous fan who works abroad gifted me a Microsoft Surface Tablet just because she is thankful for my support for Maine.
(d)   Meeting some fans who are as level-headed and as classy like Maine I felt I attended a business conference instead of a fan event.
(e)   Getting back on my feet again to find the direction in my career.
Also, I am grateful my mama is a silent fan of Maine. You see, I am already in my late 20s but she treats me like a pre-teen kid and I find it difficult to ask permission to go to different places and stay late. Kung pwede 6pm sa bahay na ako at may number si mama ng lahat ng kasama ko para mapanatag siya. So I was surprised it was easy for me to ask permission going to Maine’s bday event even if I come home late at evening. As my mama said, “May swerteng dala sayo si Maine, puntahan mo lang pag meron.”
Of course, going back to my freelance career is not as smooth as what I expected. Rejections and no follow-up interviews came, some would even ask me to stop writing for them and they would just pay me for the weeks I wrote, or I have already written an article then suddenly my contact person said the client forgot to ask for the specific writer and that isn’t me.  
It was still difficult but I am grateful to find this new courage, thanks to God’s constant faithfulness in my life and to all my Bearers of Light. In 2018 too, I found CCF, a Christian church whom I am comfortable with in sharing my flaws and mistakes. They focus more on God’s grace, justice, and mercy for everyone than other close-minded religious people or groups who condemn sinners.
Thanks to Maine too, I started to try new things which I still hesitated before. I remembered reading her IG post on her skydiving experience. She encouraged us to try things out even if we are still scared. In 2018, I tried acting workshop and auditioned in a production house for a voice-over artist. I even tried if I could be a female reporter in an FM station. Although these things haven’t yet prospered for me, I am happy to try it out and see what else I can try aside from writing.
At present, I invested in a copywriting module and joined an uplifting and supportive Filipino community of freelance copywriters in a Facebook group. I am determined to venture into copywriting because it is parallel to my passion in storytelling and writing. The process of improving myself excites me.  I am a homebased content writer (as of this time) who still have a lowpay rate but I am enjoying the flexibility of my time. Plus, the company I work for recently gave me incentives and gift certificates.
Going back to one of the dark times in my life and just want to give up, God sent His angels in different forms to remind me I still have to fulfill His purpose, His story, and His plans in my life. He intended to break my heart and dreams so He can form it with a new one. In those times, God chose Maine too to tell me I can and I will be able to do it with God’s help.
This is just a fraction of what Maine did for me. I am more than thankful and will always support her even in the future that she is a private citizen and enjoys that under-the-radar life away from the fame and attention of public.
Salamat talaga Maine sa lahat lahat! 
Bearer of Light, please keep on radiating! 
God rewarded your sacrifices and good heart.
Embrace the genuine happiness you have now.

Programs, Policies, and Laws to Address Mental Health Stigmatization
Recall earlier I had indicated that I will present a blog post about the initiatives, programs, policies and laws that can be implemented to reduce and prevent stigmatization and discrimination of people with mental illness. Well, here is the post.
Here are several ways to address stigma:
Increasing awareness and Education:Through increasing education and awareness, this includes increasing education for those with mental illness, for the public, and for structural and institutional sectors and participants such as health and social services and healthcare professionals. This can be done by implementing mental health education in the school curricula whether that is in highschool, university, or a health profession schools such as medical school. In addition, opportunities for healthcare professionals to pursue continued educational and professional development is crucial for ensuring good quality of care (WHO-WPA, 2002). Healthcare professionals should receive and have access to education and training in order to “recognize, address, and diagnose the full range of mental illnesses and addictions and differentiate them from the signs of normal aging “ (Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario; 2010). Education related stigma reduction programs also need to help healthcare professionals and providers improve their skills with working with older adults with mental health problems or illnesses (Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC), 2014). The Canadian Mental Health Association also identifies the need to educate individuals about “the differences between normal aging and signs of mental illness `` (Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario; 2010). It encourages the the dissemination of resource materials about aging and mental health across senior groups, senior centers, conferences and workshops in order to increase awareness about the stigmatization and discrimination that exist regarding aging and mental health (Canadian Mental Health Association, Ontario; 2010).
Tumblr media
Mass media anti-stigma campaigns can also be implemented. Advertisements through multiple forms of media (TV ads, flyers, posters on public transportation) can be distributed. Websites and resource/ advice lines with information about the topic can be created (WHO-WPA, 2002).  With today’s technology education campaigns and mass media anti-stigma campaigns can be presented in the forms of videos, radio stations, newspapers, training materials, conferences, and community presentations (U.S. Department , 2005).The Mental Health Commission of Canada (MHCC) recommends that each anti-stigma program needs to target content to a specific or particular mental health problem or illness. They state that designing anti-stigma program will be unique and different to different audience groups as anti-stigma programming developed for students will be different than the anti-stigma programming developed for healthcare professionals (MHCC, 2014).
Tumblr media
Another initiative to address stigma is to empower and educate older adults. Campaigns need to be implemented to encourage older adults to share their narratives, stories, and experiences regarding mental health (MHCC, 2014). Anti-stigma initiatives should promote and incorporate social contact with older adults living with mental health problems. Older adults need a platform to share their personal testimony and real-life narratives of their experience with a mental illness (MHCC, 2014). This is known as social contact or contact based education (MHCC, 2014). Through personal testimonies and narratives of older adults living with mental illness we can start to understand the challenges and struggles the individual has experienced (MHCC, 2014). We can start to look beyond the preconceived notions and perceptions we have towards aging and mental illness (MHCC, 2014). This allows us to see who the individual truly is and helps us identity their circumstances and needs (MHCC, 2014). Furthermore, it is important to implement campaigns to educate older adults about mental illness to prevent the internalization of stigma from occuring. Peer- Educators (PE) are individuals that are trained to provide support and education for individuals suffering from mental health problems in the community (McKinnon et al., 2019).  Many of the PE have experienced a mental health problem like depression and have been previously treated for it, thus they have an understanding of what it is like to suffer from mental health problems (McKinnon et al., 2019).Studies have shown that using PEs is an effective and in-expensive approach to help and meet the needs of older adults suffering mental health problems, whom underutilize mental health services (McKinnon et al., 2019). A pilot study also found that PE reduced public and internalized stigma because PE support encouraged older adults with depression to develop positive attitudes and encouraged older adults with depression to search and seek out help and information (McKinnon et al., 2019).
Tumblr media
Finally, mental health policies and laws can be implemented to promote human rights and promote the inclusion of those with mental illness. In Ontario, examples of such laws include the policy on mental health and services known as the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act which makes denying healthcare or any type of service (e.g. housing, insurance, education, etc.) to people with mental health disability or addiction illegal (Ontario Human Rights Commission) (Refer to previous post for more information about the importance of policies and laws in regards to mental illness).
Tumblr media
In my next post I will give examples of anti- stigma initiative that I have talked about in this post.

Do parents really expect their teens in highschool to pay for their own cars?
Its enraging when I hear my parents/parents in general tell their kids, who have their licenses to pay for a car yourself . Not even a split? A loan? These kids are still in highschool! Even after highschool in college, I just don't see how one can pay for even a cheap used car themselves unless they dedicate their life and save every penny for the damn car. People that age usually earn close to minimum wage, and if they spend all their time working instead of studying, that's all their ever going to make. Ex) my friend earns 9.25 hourly at a grocery store (he's worked there for a while so its not exact minimum wage), and works 40 hours a week. He is ALWAYS at work. At the end of the week, his checks are worth about 338 after taxes. A crappy used car is probably about 5000? I'm not fully sure. Someone that age would have to work 40 hours a week for quite a long time. Since they're teenagers, that would pretty much leave them no time for studying/doing homework and a social life in general. Don't parents want their children to perform well academically as well? Aside from financial issues of their own, why wouldn't a parent with a decent amount of money atleast agree to help their responsible teenager pay for a used or inexpensive car? I'm not suggesting brand new BMWs or mercades, but why not like an 06/07 used toyota or honda in good condition? Why not agree to help pay for.half or a smaller fraction of it? And don't they get sick of their kids always using their cars? What do you think?""

Should I buy car insurance or not?
I am a teenage driver of 16. Insurance is very high for a teenager. My parents have Allstate Car Insurance for four of their cars including a Toyota Corolla which im going to be driving. The Corolla is covered by AllState insurance. I have a California Driver's License and live in California. About 6 months ago, my mom asked the insurance company whether the insurance would cover the car if she lent the car to someone and the insurance company said that they would cover the car as soon as the person who borrowed the car has a VALID DRIVERS LICENSE. I have a valid drivers license but I am under 18 (I am 16). The insurance person did not say anything about age. My question is whether it is necessary or not to buy insurance for myself. It will be very expensive and I do not want to pay for it but I will If i have to. Do I have to get my own insurance for the car or not? If I dont buy insurance and I drive the corolla and get pulled over, am I okay or will I have problems?""

How Can a 17 Year old Teen Afford Car Insurance?
I am a 17 year old guy working on getting my first car. I was thinking possibly a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, or a 2006 Saturn Ion. I had looked up a few quotes from Progressive and Esurance, and noticed that the semi-annual price was VERY high, way beyond anything my family could afford. I was wondering If anyone knew of a way that I could possibly afford this. Many of the quotes totaled at $800-$1000 per six months. This is outrageously high, and that was just insurance for an adult I had quoted. Adding a teen onto the insurance would be much more expensive. If anyone has any ideas on what I can do to cheat the system per say, or just find a nice and cheap affordable, reliable insurance company I'd be extremely grateful.""

Will insurance companies charge Yahoo Answers users more than others due to cheating on the written test?

Auto insurance question - I hit a big pothole..?
Saturday night I hit a big pothole and a few miles later my tire was completely flat and actually had holes big enough to stick a few fingers through. I took it to a tire repair shop and the rim was bent as a result of the tire going flat. They've found a replacement rim, but it doesn't match the other 3 on the car.. I would like all matching rims, but a complete set with tires is about $800. Would something like this be covered by auto insurance? The cost of the mismatched replacement rim and 2 new tires is $350, my comprehensive deductible is $500, but I would pay the $500 if insurance covered 4 MATCHING rims.. So basically I'm wondering: 1) Is this something auto insurance would cover? 2) Would they just cover any replacement rim, even if it didn't match the other 3 or 3) Would they pay for a whole new set of rims? If anyone worked for an insurance company and might know the answer that would be great..""

How can you get dental insurance when you can't afford dental insurance?
My husband and I have health coverage, but it doesn't include dental insurance. So we have to pay our dental bills out of pocket. That was okay until I started needed expensive procedures, like root canals and crowns. Last year we paid for a root canal ($1000) and this year we paid for a root canal ($1100) and both of those teeth still need crowns (which will cost $1000 apiece). Since we were still paying the bills on my root canals I put off having the crowns done until those bills were clear. Now today my tooth broke so I'm going to have to have that crown done. Is there ANY way to escape this? I feel like I'll lose my teeth just because I'm not lucky enough to be rich. Do you know of any kind of affordable dental insurance that will take care of procedures like root canals or crowns or oral surgery? (My dentist wants me to have THAT done too for an impacted wisdom tooth.) I want a healthy mouth. But I can't afford it. Is there anyone that helps people like me? Thank you. Nita""

I just got my car but it needs a few things for it to be awesome how much will this cost me?
For my graduation present my dad got me a car! Its pretty cool and it runs well but it needs a few things for it to be to my liking, they arent needs just wants that i plan to pay for but i have no idea how much they would all cost. Ok so i can give u a good image in your head its a green Daewoo, Nubria and its year is 2000 so i hope with this info youll know how to answer my question. 1) Air conditioner. if u look at the inside you would see the air conditioner and u would think that if u turn it on it would work but it doesnt so i need to get that fixed especially in a state like ARIZONA where its always hot lol 2) New radio. I need one installed bcuz the one it has in there doesnt have sound and u need a code to use it. 3)Wheels and Rims. It has wheels but no rims and i kinda want new wheels lol whats a good size wheels for this type of car and what kind of rims should i buy is there rims for this type of car with the daewoo symbol? 4) Paint job. Ok so this is important my car is a dark green like spinach leaves lol i like it but it has white scratches all over the left and right side and the roof looks pretty worn out so i want it to be spray painted you know like in pimp my ride lol idk whats a good reasonable price for that but just write down a good estimate. 5) The front bumper. on your left side of the front bumper you know right below the headlites and the grill its broken and it dangals a little. Its perfect on the right side but scratched up quite a bit. So i want to get this old bumper off and install a new one. how do i go about doing that do i have to order the part or what exactly do i do keep in mind it doesnt have insurance yet but if it did could the insurance company do somehing about that? Ok so thats it thanx for reading and i want this answered in numerical order you know just line them up like this. 1) how much it would cost and a description or extra info i might need to know or consider 2) how much it would cost if i want a new modern radio like the one u can take off and put back on. 3) how much it would cost and all the general info 4) how much it would cost and give your opinion on a cool color to consider for this car 5) how much it would cost and how i would go about doing it Feel free to write as much as you need to on this to get the message across and remember exact prices are great but if u want u can give me estimates. thanx again for taking the time to read this. lol""

Can my insurance company deny my claim...?
Lots of info, sorry! My car was parked on the street and hit during the night. I drove the car to the repair place the following morning and the airbag deployed on the way there. (Stupid, I know, I wasn't thinking). My insurance company, GEICO is insisting that the damage is not consistent with a hit and run accident. They have taken recorded statements from me and my boyfriend. They have contracted an independent accident reconstructionist to read the airbag deployment. The reconstructionist originally told me that he was unable to retrieve the data, but the insurance company is now telling me that he was able to get a partial reading. And that it shows that the airbag deployed as a result of impact. The airbag did not actually fully deploy. There is no powder or injury to me to justify a complete deployment. Does anybody know if they have the right to deny my claim based on suspicion? They keep trying to make me say that my boyfriend was driving the car, which he wasn't. We were in the house together all night. Also: car was in previous fire; severe damage to front of car, all repaired. accident happened in CA, full coverage policy written in GA I know its a lot of info.

Do insurance rates always go up after fender benders? even super minor ones?
I was in a minor parking lot fender bender, more like fender TAPPING if you ask me, neither car has more of a scratch, I am pretty sure that she is more at fault in this situation because when we tapped i was all the way out my my parking space and she was only out about half way, hence why our bumpers tapped on both of our rear passenger corners. she has a witness claiming they saw the whole thing and that I hit her, but regardless of if my car tapped hers or her car tapped mine, I was all the way out of my space and she was the one who wasn't looking enough to not hit me. I was about to shift into drive right when we tapped, I had my foot on the brake, which is probably why we didn't hit hard enough to do any more damage than a scratch. ANYWAY she is basically making a huge deal about a small *** scratch on her 1998 honda in which i am sure that she is at fault for. in maryland, I have always been told that parking lot accidents are equal fault cases no matter what. she called me 3 days after the incident and also called my house number(which i did NOT give her!!! creepy) she got mad that I called the police for advice on what to do and said she is going to go through my insurance to get things settled. m my question is, will my insurance go up if she files a claim using my insurqnce info? even though the repair for her tiny scratch couldn't possibly cost more than 200 bucks? It is so small i feel like someone at a body shop could buff it out for even less than 100, maybe even 50. it just baffles me that someone would make such a big deal over a scratch that is less than an inch, especially when my scratches are deeper and longer than hers! you can tell by the direction that my scratch was in that she was the one who hit me, because of where the paint was pushed.""

Car Accident Advice: Someone hit me and doesn't want to go thru insurance?
Someone recently hit my car while it was parked across the street from my house. I almost thought it was a hit and run till I found their business card on my windsheild. I called her and she said she'd rather not go through her insurance but pay me directly for the damage to my car. I have been in accidents where I was hit but usually the other person just gives me their insurance info and I call them and get my car fixed fast, no problems. So I was already a little hesitant about agreeing to this, but I figured as long as it gets fixed it should be alright. So I did like she said and got an estimate from a body shop, then called her with it. Right off she said, Oh thats really high,(almost a 1000) and I reminded her that the damage is pretty severe, she backed into my rear passenger door, now entirely dented and scratched up. I know the estimate is fair compared to other work I 've had in the past. So anyways, I thought she'd decide right there like she had told me before, if it was affordable for her she'd pay me if not she'll go through her insurance. So since she acted like that was so much money I asked well does that mean you want to just use your insurance? She still sounded unsure and said she needs to figure this out. So it's been another day since that, still waiting, she did call again and say she's running it by her insurance agent to see which way would be better for her, insurance or pay me off. So I am still waiting, it's only been a few days since the accident but I am getting anxious because I kind of wish she would just give me her insurance info and go through it, my car would probably be in the shop already and this would be taken care of. But instead I 'm waiting for her. She still has not given me her insurance info, I don't have her license plate # or even what her car looks like, just a business card. And its a big inconvenience because I know I will be without a car for a at least 2-3 days, and even if she pays me she sure didn't mention a rental car. So my question is am I being too nice by waiting for her to decide whats best for her... and even if she wants to pay me should I have gotten her insurance info, like is that my legal right. So how long should I wait for her to decide?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as obviously I should act fast. Thanks""

Affordable health insurance in NYC?

I have a completely clean driving record: no tickets, no court, no violations. What company will cover me? In the notice it said something about insurance through the DMV? Anything helps!!!""
