Video Games

There have been many controversies lately about violent video games and whether or not they are bad for young kids and teenagers. Well I think that It does affect them, but it’s not just the video games fault it the parents. I think it is unhealthy for young kids and teenagers to just sit inside all day long. What happened to looking forward to summer so you can go ride your bike or building snow men in the winter? The perfect example is my younger step brother who is like 13 or 14. Every day he wakes up and plays video games, gets home from school and plays video games, stays up all night to play video games. The video games haven’t made him violent or anything which is good, but his vocabulary only consists of a few words, with “fuck” being number one. The rest are followed by other curse words. I never see him do homework and the last I knew he was failing a subject. But it’s not just because of the video games, but also because of the discipline that he doesn’t receive. His father lets him say and do what he wants when he wants and as far as I know his mom woks late and also comes home and plays video games. I think that there should be a distinct time to where there should be homework and chores done and another time for playing. It is unhealthy for kids to sit in front of a television or computer all day. It is impacting their learning abilities, and also it hurts their eyes. Also people always say that the youth is our future, so is this what our future is going to contain?

paper 1

This first paper was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. When I first started out it was hard to think of a topic. Once I started writing it didn’t take long because I think it is easier to just get it all done with at one time instead of stopping and having to continue with it later. I really like how we get to pick any topic we like because I think it’s easier to write about things I am interested in rather than be given a topic to write about. I also think that the endorsement groups are helpful because I feel like they pick up the pieces in order to make the papers better and I like how they catch little things that may have been missed. I am also glad I got it over with before spring break so that way I didn’t have to work on it while I was on vacation. I think that the writing criteria was pretty easy for it and I think that the worst paper will be the one where it has to be formatted as an editorial.

lifes better blonde

every one knows the classic joke... "why do blonde's" or "how many blondes." well the truth is blondes are not any more dumb than any other color of hair. the only reason that people think so is because of these jokes that people made up. and the only reason blondes are good at playing the part is because they are allowed to and can get away with it easier. this is because if people already think that a blonde is dumb and make fun of them for it then they will step in and act dumb when truthfully they re not really dumb.
i know a lot of people who are blonde and majority of them do act dumb and act like they don't have any common sense. but usually they do.
also a lot of times if they do make a mistake or say or do something dumb they blame it on their hair color because they are allowed to because many people see them as being dumb anyways.
really though, people who have blonde hair are not any dumber or smarter than a person with brown, red or black hair. how smart you are does not come from what color hair you have, but how well you may apply yourself. so the next time you think about telling a blonde joke, think again, because the joke may be on you.
