Who am I? I am Mason Larson. A privileged young man who hasn’t ever had to struggle for much. In my life I have been blessed with basically everything I have ever wanted. I have a good support base and a loving and caring family. I was raised to be a good young man and sometimes I get off track. my goal in my life is to make a positive impact and leave my mark on the world. I like having friendships and being close to people. I love being apart of a team and competing to my fullest ability. I am a happy person and try not to let anything bring me down. I try to live life with a smile on my face and will continue to live that way till the day I die.

Who do people think I am? People look at me and think that I am an out of control teenage kid. Lots of people look at me as being a punk because of my competitive nature. People think I am selfish and all about me. People think that I talk to much and say too much dumb stuff. 

With the number of shootings that have happened in America and now in the world there has been a stereo type that has been developed about shootings. In this article they talk about how the percentage of people who partake in these shootings are males and they talk about things on how it has to do with the way men act or their personality is.

                Quite honestly, I do agree with them on this a lot. There is no one on this earth that is the exact same as someone else and no one that has the same morals or beliefs. When I think about if I would ever do this I say no but there are many other things I have said that about that I have done too. Obviously, none of them are as extreme as shooting people but it still is the same concept.

                Stress can lead to many terrible things and can make peoples life change and turn into something that they never thought it would be. Think about the hardest moments in your life and how you handled them and made you feel. Sometimes people just lose themselves and they act out irrationally. I’m not saying I think that it is ok that any of this happens I am just saying that I can see how it does and why it does.

                Also in this article it talks about how men feel the need to be dominant and have a sense of pride about themselves and quite honestly, I can second this as well. I always feel the need to be the sort of tough guy and give off a certain demeanor to make myself feel bigger than what I am. It is as simple as someone telling you that you don’t have the ability to do something so you have to prove to them that you do. It is a scary world and I hope there is change for the better.
