Heroes

Who's your hero? Your mom, neighbor, teacher? Most people look up to the celebrities for their guidance. How to dress, how to act, how to look. Kids now have more celebrity idols from the high class world then ever before from athletes to actresses to politicians and even business executives. Has anyone looked at our "Heroes" recently? Miss USA almost had her crown taken from her for underage drinking. Both Nicole Ritchie and Paris Hilton had DUI's. Britney Spears has been in trouble from driving with her child on her lap. Barry Bonds has been caught more then once for steroid use. Also some religious leaders have been publicized for being pedophiles. Are we looking up to the right people to be our role models? I think children should look up to their parents or someone that isn't this bad in the law. They should look up to the one's that teach hem the most in the world and that giving is better then taking and to think of others before yourself. Not how to take drugs run from the police and cheat at sports.

What If?

What if there were no journalists in the world? I think the world would be a better place for everyone. If there wasn't any journalists i think that people wouldn't be as stressed, and girls would look a lot healthier than they are also i think that there wouldn't be as much crime. I believe that people act on such things hoping they'll get on television. Girls wouldn't look into magazines or at sitcoms thinking they must look a certain way to be popular or be beautiful. Then again you wouldn't know if obesity is a problem in your town either. There also might be a murderer going around your city you wouldn't know about or even what he looks like so you could avoid him or keep your children safe from him. The weather, you wouldn't know if you should prepare for an earthquake or a tornado. We wouldn't know what was happening in the war or what Iraq even looked like. If people were looking to buy a house or cars they would have to look right in around the town they live in. So therefore after all my thoughts i think that there should be journalists to keep everyone updated on everything they need to know to be safe and protected.

Bias in the Media

I find that the newspapers that we get weekly always have a negative issue right on the front cover and why? Do they think that the public love reading about horrible things in the paper? I know i hate it do they ever put anything positive on the front? i find that the only positive we get from the front page is when i see something about sports. I'd like to see a lot better things written in the paper rather then people writing in complaining about everyhting or people writing about all of the horrid things kingson has going on right now. the editor is

5 Year Old Rebel

In the paper a couple weeks ago there was written an article saying that there was a kindergartener that just grabbed his bags and walked down the street instead of being in class. The police found the little boy down near a local park with his backpack. Don't you think it's weird how a little boy could find his way down the road with no help what so ever? Okay maye not weird just it makes the school look really really bad though. Do these teachers even pay attention to the kids as much as there suppose to? Do they just care about gettin paid? Anyone have answer to my questions? I think teachers have also changed sooo much from what they use to be like. Well from the definition that my mom gave me and what i see at school now. They use to be in charge and strict and never did dress the way they do now either. Times are changing, slowly but surely maybe for the better.. maybe for the worse. My question are students learning better now rather then when they did back then?

Odd Girl Out

This movie is kind of like what our school is in general..well kind of. The stereotypical girls gossiping about one another and getting mad becaus the boy likes some other girl. Is this to much stereotyping for one movie? In the movie the bestfriend gets made fun of because she eats alot of food that have a lot of carbs, she also cuts her hair because she gets really frustrated with all the girls at school that start to make fun of her. Skinny, beautiful, long smooth shiny hair. Did i mention she was popular before she started eating more and chopping her hair off? I think girls now a days really do care to much about looking the right way, weighing the right weight talking to the right people to be popular. I think it should all be more about the way of feeling good, if your comfortable or not in what your wearing, eating what you want when you want and how much of it you want, i think you should talk to who you want without people labelling you in whether or not your punk prep or whatever. My Question... who are these girls trying to impress, or do they just act, dress and look like this for their personal enjoyment? In my opinion though girls just don't walk around with 2 cm worth of cloth around their thighs that they have to keep pulling down every 2 minutes very comfortable.
