Shorty799 opens up about her experience with her parents' divorce.

Shorty799 here, talking about something that many people have been experiencing a lot this year: divorces. I know from experience. A sad experience that many people have endured.

My experience happened when I was four years old, a preschooler. My brother was eight.

My mother said my dad had sent her an e-mail to her while he was on one of his business trips. He basically said, "I don't love you anymore."

I can never imagine my mom and dad being together. I was too young to remember how they acted with each other or what it was like to be a full family. I don't remember what I did, whether I cried and locked myself up in my dark room or just sat there confused; thoughts rushing throughout my brain, "Why? Why me? Why do we deserve this? Where did the love go?" and my heart pounded against my chest as I heard it ring in my eardrums.

Pinkfly07 reports on Whyville's most recent party.

It's another year and it's time to celebrate, leaving all our bad memories behind us! Here is a chance you won't want to miss to get a fresh start with something new!

Hey fellow Whyville citizens, it's pinkfly07, trying something new in the year 2008. I am writing my first article!

Each year we count down, looking forward to what the New Year will be bringing us. In different places there may be different events happening around the world on this day with different types of celebrations!

The celebration of the New Year is an event that happens when a culture celebrates the end of one year and the beginning of the next year. Cultures that measure yearly calendars all have New Year celebrations. Most cultures follow the New Year that occurs on January 1 of each year.

As each year passes we look forward for the year ahead, usually by having a party we meet all our friends and celebrate the mark of a new beginning. Like each culture Whyville marks a new beginning for the New Year as well. All of us were invited to come and enjoy a few moments for what had passed and for what was ahead of us.
