I was unable to post do to being temporarily grounded. Sorry.
(I'm honestly not going to apologize too lengthy. The only person I really had to apologize to was Sarah for disappointing her.)

Gender-Swapped Twilight
This is just the first chapter or so summarized 'cause I'm not re-writing the whole damn book. XD Edward is not in this, sorry. Just the friendship between "Ben" and Jake.
-------------------------------------------------------
My dad pulled up to his house, a place I hadn't seen in several years. He lead me up to my room, which was exactly the way I left it. Bright it's-a-boy! blue walls and lego's as well as action figures stored in the messy closet. I had stopped coming here for the summers for several years. I couldn't believe my dad hadn't even moved anything. The only thing that was different was the bed, which I wouldn't have fit in if it were the old one.
"So, you start school tomorrow," my dad said as we heard a car pull up in the yard. I didn't bother to look outside. "I wanted to give you something to get there."
I raised an eyebrow. "You got me a car?"
"Well, Ben," he replied," it's nothing much, of course. It's just a ratty old truck."
I grinned. "I like 'em that way."
He lead me outside and, to my surprise, there was his good old friend Billy and his son, my old friend, Jacob.
"Hey." Jake said casually. "Long time no see Benny."
I grinned and punched him playfully in the arm. "I told you never to call me that again."
He grinned back. "You've been gone for years. It doesn't count anymore." He gave me his smile. I'm not gay, but his smile was really perfect and just teased you. Made you wanna smile back, you know?
"Yes. But the word 'never' refers lasts forever."
"Damn." he cursed. "Guess you're right."
"Hey," I said, changing the subject," do you go to my school? I start tomorrow."
"Sorry, no." he answered. "I go to school on the rez."
"Oh." Damn. "Okay. Woulda been cool to know someone though." I said
"Yeah." he replied. "Sorry bro."
That was when Billy cut in. "Well, son, we should get going. Just wanted to drop off the truck."
Oh yeah. "Thanks a lot." I said politely with a smile.
-----------------------------------------------
This story would be different if Bella were a boy in the way that "he" and Jacob would just be friends. Probably really good friends. Instead of Jacob and Edward fighting over his love, they would probably fight over simple friendship. I don't think much with the Volturi or the others would change.
"Ben" is a lot more insensitive than Bella considering he is a boy. His actions and words would be a lot more boyish than Bella's more feminine side.
-----------------------------------------------
Sorry, that was brief. I don't have much time today and I ran out. In the future, this hopefully won't happen.
'Til I post again,
Sarah

Bullying
BULLYING
Bullying is something everybody experiences. It takes on different forms; verbal, emotional, cyber, and physical. You are involved whether you are a bystander, victim, or the bully. It involves everyone in your and their lives. It is something all humans experience; it's who we are. Humans are prone to these things because at the core of our beings we are animal, and animals bully. Except it.
When people are being bullied the freeze. It's fear. At our cores almost every human fears being ostracized. It's a natural reaction. Do not succumb to the bullying. Rise above, and stay strong. Take it from somebody who's been the bullied and the bully. Never attempt suicide. Suicide erases the chances of things getting better. Life gets better and it continues. Never give up on yourself that way, things get better. (source to picture on right)
BULLYING: HOW TO STOP IT
Tell somebody. To stop to it tell somebody. Tell an adult/guardian/parent whomever you want to. Advice can sometimes the best. Even though you fear they might not understand, they will. Stand up. Tell the bully. Most likely, the bully has a greater fear of being ostracized then you. Bullies may seem to carry the fight gene, more than flight, but they are protecting themselves. Protect yourself from them. Do not give up. Stand up and be proud. Tell someone. Life gets better.
LIFE GETS BETTER. DO NOT GIVE UP. STAY STRONG.
Topic change!
NEW TOPIC
The new topic is; pick a character (from a story you are writing, from a favorite book, from a favorite movie, etc.) and swap the gender. Write a seen in their point of view. Then tell the contrast between how it would be if he/she were in there natural gender.
Have fun!
