Esme Cullen Bio

Esme Cullen (born Esme Anne Platt and later Esme Anne Evenson) was born 1895 and lived in Columbus, Ohio where at age 16 was treated by her future husband Dr. Cullen after she broke her leg falling out of a tree. She was forced by her parents to marry a man named Charles Evenson who abused her.

After realizing she was pregnant, Esme left her husband and gave birth to a son. After losing her son to a lung infection, Esme attempted to commit suicide by jumping from a cliff (Edward tells Bella she "fell"). Esme was presumed dead and taken to the morgue... but she was still alive.

Dr. Carlisle Cullen heard her beating heart and remembered her. He didn't want her to die, so he chose to change her into a vampire like himself. Edward was the first human Carlisle had changed and Esme the second. Carlisle and Esme fell in love and were married.

Carlisle Cullen Profile

Carlisle Cullen was born in the 1640s (his exact DOB is uncertain, as it is unmentioned in the books and time was not marked as carefully then as it is now) to an Anglican pastor in London, England. His mother died giving birth to him and was raised by his father who believed in the existence of vampires, witches, and werewolves and led hunts. He put his son in charge of the hunts although at first, he was a failure. However, Carlisle found a coven of vampires living in the sewers and he led an attack on the vampires.

He chased after one of those vampires in the sewer, but he was bitten since the vampire was too thirsty to continue on and Carlisle turned three days later having stayed hidden in a sack of potatoes. Carlisle, disgusted by his own existence tried many ways to destroy himself, but to no avail. After trying to starve himself, he came across a wild animal and his thirst overpowered him. Carlisle discovered he could survive off animal blood rather than human, creating a new way for the vampires to exist unnoticed among humans.

Carlisle studied in many areas but chose to stick to medicine deciding that he rather help people with his new vampiric abilities. He works in Forks hospital and is almost completely unaware of the appeal human blood holds for him, but only after hundreds of years of practice.

When the Spanish Influenza broke out in the early 1900s, Carlisle came across a dying teenager, Edward Masen, who had been orphaned in the pandemic. Overcome with the need for companionship, and mindful of the promise made to the boy's dying mother (that he would do everything in his power to help), Carlisle stole him away and turned him, beginning his family.

Carlisle now has a wife, Esme, and five "adopted" children: Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper. Carlisle is described as being tall, blond, and the look-alike of a model. He stands "6'2" and is slender yet muscular. He is physically 23 years old.

Human Trafficking (types)

Alright guys, here's another off-topic, yet still incredibly important blog segment. HUMAN TRAFFICKING. To get the word out there, and to get more people in the know about Human Trafficking, my friends and I wanted to do a joint-blog entry, just like last week, but about trafficking. For the next segment of this topic, visit http://winsomewisdom.blogspot.com/. There, Berkley's gonna talk about how common trafficking is, which is pretty surprising. Check it out! But for right now, I'm gonna talk about the types of trafficking.

Type One: Sex Trafficking

This prevalent form of trafficking affects every region in the world, either as a source, transit or destination country. Women and children from developing countries, and from vulnerable parts of society in developed countries, are lured by promises of decent employment into leaving their homes and travelling to what they consider will be a better life. Victims are often provided with false travel documents and an organized network is used to transport them to the destination country, where they find themselves forced into sexual slavery and held in inhumane conditions and constant fear.

Type Two: Labor Trafficking

Victims of this equally widespread form of trafficking come primarily from developing countries. They are recruited and trafficked using deception and coercion and find themselves held in conditions of slavery in a variety of jobs. Men, women and children are engaged in agricultural and construction work, domestic servitude and other labour-intensive jobs.

Type Three: Commercial sexual exploitation of children in tourism (child prostitution for tourists)

This crime type has been apparent in Asia for many years and has now taken hold in Africa as well as Central and South America. The phenomenon is promoted by the growth of inexpensive air travel and the relatively low risk of prohibition and prosecution in these destinations for engaging in sexual relations with minors.

Type Four: Trafficking in organs

Trafficking in humans for the purpose of using their organs, in particular kidneys, is a rapidly growing field of criminal activity. In many countries, waiting lists for transplants are very long, and criminals have seized this opportunity to exploit the desperation of patients and potential donors. The health of victims, even their lives, is at risk as operations may be carried out in clandestine conditions with no medical follow-up. An ageing population and increased incidence of diabetes in many developed countries is likely to increase the requirement for organ transplants and make this crime even more lucrative.

Once again, check out http://winsomewisdom.blogspot.com/ for more information, specifially about how often trafficking occurs! Thanks guys!source: http://www.interpol.int/Crime-areas/Trafficking-in-human-beings/Types-of-human-trafficking

Stop Bullying!

             I'm gonna do something a little different this week, guys. I'm gonna talk about bullying, and some of my friends who have blogs are, too. Here are the links to their blogs, check them out! http://teamfreewill1.blogspot.com/ , http://edwardsheeran.blogspot.com/ , http://jenanicholle.blogspot.com/ , http://meghanmcdonald15.blogspot.com/ , http://winsomewisdom.blogspot.com/ , http://neshia116.blogspot.com/ , and http://procrastinatorweekly.wordpress.com 

             Bullying has become a serious epidemic in schools all across the United States. Sadly, one of the most popular new fads is self harm, which is directly linked to bullying. Bullying doesn't happen at a specific age, to specific people or in a specific place in the world: it happens everywhere to everyone. It isn't just kids and teens, either: adults do it to each other, and even parents to their children, making those children future bullies. Bullying is a vicious, never-ending cycle, and will continue unless something is done.

            In October, 2011, a girl named Alex tried to take her life. This is her story, and her message to others suffering from the same abuse...

"On October 20th, 2011, no one was home after school so I tried to hang myself in my basement. I know what your thinking, why would she do such a selfish thing? Well I was going through so much I couldn’t even handle anything anymore. I gave up at the time. I ended up getting off the ground and going upstairs. I looked in the mirror and I saw the brush marks all over my neck from the rope. I knew in school the next day people were going to ask where was it from.

Then I started to cut myself. It was addicting, I did it a couple times that night. In the morning at school I ended up telling 2 of my best friends, someone told a guidance counselor about what I did last night. When I got home after school, social workers came to my house and I had no idea why they were at my house at first, but then they asked me if I really tried to hang myself, and of course I told the truth. So I got taken down to ECMC after school, I had to sit in the emergency room for 6 hours, then I had to sit in CPEP for another 6 hours, the nurse finally took me up to my room. I ended up staying there till November 4th. It helped a lot, and taught me a lesson. I’m glad that whoever told, did tell the guidance counselor about how I attempted suicide because I wouldn’t have gotten the help I needed. When I tell what happened that night I attempted suicide, I actually smile at the end now. My friends wonder why I smile.I smile because I’m happy it’s over and I got the help I needed. I’m glad I don’t have to go through any of that pain anymore, because I try my best to think positive everyday. Things do get better; you just have to hang in there. I know this suicide attempt was recent and your wondering how I could tell this so soon, but like I said I’m happy that I got the help I needed, and I’m happy that the suicide attempt didn’t actually work out. And remember things do get better.  Suicide is 100% preventable, speak out and reach out. People should at least try to get help even through its really hard at the time. There are many people that can help you. Everyone is concern about teens committing suicide. Everyone feels guilt when a teen commits suicide because they think they could have done something to prevent the suicide.People shouldn’t feel embarrassed about trying to attempt suicide or even expressing their personal feelings. Everyone has difficult times in their lives and we need to help each other. Just remember things do get better."  

Laura also suffered abuse.

"I have never really told many people how far the bullying got; I don't think my mum even knows really.

I have never been slim, but I was never that big, yeah I am overweight but not by that much-I have never been anywhere close to being obese and I don't have a double chin or rolls on my stomach except when I sit down. Yet in the latter years of primary school I was constantly called fat by boys and a few mean girls, they would try and lift up my jumper and say things like-"She's got a pillow up her top, oh wait it's just her fat stomach,". I did have some close friends but my best friend who was also plumper and overweight was one year older and at a different school, she understood how I felt as she was bullied because of the steroids she has to take for her arthritis (from birth) made her gain weight.

The real bullying started when I reached secondary school, the first few week were good until a girl from my old primary school joined late as she was ill and started telling people lies and how I was so fat I have once made a chair collapse, people were soon making fun of me and calling me names and soon the friends I had made were too embarrassed to hang out with me and I got really depressed. I was confused as well because at my biggest I was only a size 14/16 and I was nearly 5, 8" by the time I was 12/13, compared to the blonde petite girls in my year I was ugly and fat according to them.

After a school residential trip in France where comments such as "OMG, she's gonna sink the boat," and "Are you sure she needs as much food as the rest of us," I snapped and a day after getting home I tried to hang myself because I thought it would be best to die and not have to face up to them at school. My mum found before I could really try and took me to see doctors and people who thought they could help, although I then saw that killing myself was not the way out I still felt so isolated and lonely. The bullying didn't stop as all the head teacher would say is-"You’re lying, there are no bullies at this school,”

In 2010 I decided to move schools and I now love it there, I am starting my GCSE's have some really good friends and I have lost 20lb and loads of people are complementing me, I still get the odd remark about my size, or the way I look but I calmly say I don't care and walk away as I know they are only doing it for attention.

Since moving schools my grades have gone up as I am happier and I am hoping to go to University to study History and/ or Motivational speaking as I want everyone to know that they are special and beautiful."

As you can see, bullying is, without question, one of the most traumatic experiences anyone can suffer in their lifetime. It is also completely and totally preventable. It's pretty simple, actually: DON'T BULLY. It takes more effort to bully someone than it does to NOT bully. There is no reason to be cruel to someone. You don't realize how much your words hurt someone; you don't know what they have to deal with at home, or what they've been through. People suffer all kinds of abuse and never tell anyone about it, just keep it inside all the time; your cruel joke could be the final straw, it could make them take their life.

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer

Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected vampires come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella from the tracker named James. James manages to outsmart the Cullens, Bella in particular, a..nd tricks her into meeting him and facing her eminant death. He begins torturing Bella, but soon Edward arrives, along with his family. They kill James, and save Bella's life. What they failed to realize until later is that Jameswas he mate of one of the unwelcome visitors to Forks, Victoria. Victoria finds out that Edward killed James, and begins to plot her vengence against him; kill Bella.
