  6. I want to get a GED, I am tired of taking classes that will not benifit me in anyway but I still have to take them (Health, language classes etc) Highschool graduation takes to long to reach and I get irritated by all the drama and teenager emotions I am surrounded by. I feel like a GED would be faster and that I am wasting my time in highschool. Waking up everyday marching to school going to classes that you will never need in life and everything you learn in them will sadly most likely be forgotten by the time you are in your 20's.

  10. My social class is very low on the chart due to my "adult" life just starting. I just moved on my own in a apartment. I would be consisdered in the working class. I work and go to school at the same time. I thimk that working class dont get the respect they should. People think low of them because they dont have much money but, people dont realize they work the hardest. Most of them are taking care of families and trying to finish an education sot they can get more money in the future.

  11. I think social class should not be based on income.People should not judge you by how much money you make.I think it should be on how good a person or how mature you are.

    1. How would people judge "how good a person" is? People have different opinions of what "good" is. People have different views of what "mature" is. Income is so much more tangible...but I agree with you.

  12. The crime rate in Chicago is crazy! The fact that a 3-month-old baby was shot and killed there a few weeks ago really makes me mad.

    I think the reason so many kids are getting killed in the city is because people aren't raising their kids right.

    Parents aren't teaching their kids how serious it is to take someone's life. I think people are becoming desensitized to violence because they see it so much on t.v. I mean, most of the reality t.v. shows seem to have people fighting everyweek.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of The Bad Girl's Club, but if I let my kid watch it, I would tell them that being a bad girl is not ok.

    That is just my 2 cents. Why do you think so many kids are getting killed?

    1. i blame the music industry of today. Due to the violence that rappers rap about, many teens act out what they hear on these songs.These actions conclude to many deaths from babies to older people. SMH -_-

  13. Sports are not ever thing if you don't have a education. I am a great football player, but recruiting coaches say I need a education. I am hopping to go to the NFL like my dad. Everyone tells me I need a education to play football at a higher level. This should help the young people in all the community who want to play a sports at a higher level, but you will always need an education before anything. So stay in school.

  14. I really don't know but uhm for gender i really dislike how they think girls can't do what boys can. If a girl wants to play football then let her play i dislike hearing "your going to get hurt, its just not for you" or if a girl wants to try something manly.
    Same for guys, if he wants to wear pink let him wear pink its not going to hurt anybody. Colors are colors it doesn't define anything. Sometimes i be seeing that its not manly for a guy to cook? uhm says who? hes going to be a great husband one day!

    Respect people's choices and let them do what they want to do, its not hurting you or anybody else.

  15. i think this is great b/c there are a alot of people who talk about there other people gender and there alot of social class in the school. in the school they would say oh that person is gay i hate when people judge other people it's not nices. Plus they would talk about there clothes and say that they rachet maybe they poor or they can't afford clothes.In school they would act like they the boss of people and act like they big and bad.And the worst part about it is they like to bully people which i hate. would always get bully just like other people there always somebody getting bully which needs to stop.they really need to get off of people backs. REALLY!
