What are some of the worst things in the world. Well, lets see... murder, maybe? Well yes, but there are other things... things people don't realize very much.

There are specific people suffering because of these world issues.

All of you have ought to have seen this:

Its everywhere, for a good cause.

Many women are suffering breast cancer, which can be a serious problem. Cancer is a big killer in the world. Grey ribbons are for brain cancer. Clear is lung cancer. Emerald is for Liver cancer. SO many people are dieing, right now! Right now!

Another thing: Abuse. That is a broad topic, but lets say- child abuse.

If a parent physically harms a child on purpose, disturbs them sexually, or calls them a bad name that can put them down, that is child abuse. You wouldn't think a child's loving mother would do that! Well, to be honest, a lot of childrens mother's don't love them, and beat them.

Next: Animal cruelty. Ever see someone tease a dog on the street? Or even worse, beat it with a stick? This is all animal cruelty.

If in any way you purposefully harm or misuse an animal, that is animal cruelty. Some people just beat their dogs or cats. Some use them for terrible purposes! Some people... eat their own pets....

What about children who's parents are in jail? Should we let them see their parents in jail, or make them forget everything about their parents...

Orphans, Homeless People, Sick People... you see them on the streets. You know what? 90 percent of the time, people don't donate and walk past them, with no eye contact!

Starving children in Africa. Have you donated? Most haven't.

What about Haiti? They aren't completely restored yet... same with the Gulf of Mexico! There still trying to fix it, little did we know!

The Pandas are dieing... and scientists are letting them die out!

Racism... do you think there is anything wrong with being different?

I could go on for ages saying these issues... but I won't. I will keep this speech short and sweet.

If you want to donate, please do! It may seem like a waste of five dollars, but it really does something! Every cent makes the difference! Every time a cent goes into that donations jar, a house is rebuilt. Every toy you donate, a child is happy. Every food item you send, well, a life is saved.

You can make a difference in many ways! Here is a guide to make the biggest difference in the world:

Code:

Global Warming:
To stop this, you may:
-Use less electricity
-Switch your old light bulbs to new Fluorescent ones!
-Turn off lights when you leave the room, turn off water when brushing your teeth.. etc
-Participate on Earth Day!

Haiti and Starving People in Africa:
-DONATE! Donate money so we can build houses!
-GIVE! Give some toys and trinkets to let a child still have a happy life, even if they are poor...
-FEED! Give canned, healthy food items to the poor and starving... that saves lives.
-SPONSOR! Just simply sponsor a child!

Endangered Animals:
-Have a rally to stop hunting that kind of animal!
-Donate money to help save the animals!
-Help science create a new, stable environment!
-Stop forestry and forest fires!

I hope that can get you started! Feel free to post below what you are doing to help already! Maybe donate some blood or an artery to the sick! Perhaps give away a lot of money, I'm talking hundreds of bucks, to the poor! There a big things you can do in this world, so don't hesitate, and make a difference!

Try this:
http://www.freerice.com/ Freerice.com... you play a game to donate! Every question you get right, 10 grains of rice are donated! That ends up to be a lot of rice! Over 18 Billion grains of rice were donated already!

Nice speech! All of those issues definitely need to be attended to. Btw, freerice is awesome. 

I've been to freerice.com before. I've helped who-knows-how-many people finally get food by getting a lot of the questions right! 

I got 1000.

-I use free rice
-I donate to homeless people I see on the street
-I donate at the little donation things in grocery stores.
-I save energy (almost everything that's electronic in our house is Energy Star.)
-Recycle!

tl;dr.

Rant.

Do you even care?!? You just ignored a great speech of a sad topic! Do you have a heart?

*Checks heart beat... Yep. I have one. 

The only part I agree with is helping other people. It's true- we should take care of our planet and help animals, but global warming is fake, and I think our first priority should be to help other people.
