  2. What type of impact does music have towards kids?
    Music has a major impact towards kids, music helps them express themselves let them be them, depending on the type of music kids listen to, that’s where it all boils down to depending on the music. There’s so many kids that listen to music it makes them feel like nothing in there way if you think about as well as making them feel like they can express on what they like and who they truly are deep inside. Some music might help some kids get through a hard time others song may help a kid out with life in general.

    Are there certain types of music that are bad for kids to listen to?
    Music isn’t bad to listen to everyone listens to music, but it depends on how kids take the music, meaning that there’s if they take what the message of the song serious and they try to adapt towards there lie then it would be consider bad, again it all depends on what kids listen to whether it’s a song about killing, losing love, finding love, revenge or self-hatred then those type of music would be consider bad if they take the message of the song serious, if they don’t then there’s nothing bad about listening to those type of music

    Can music kill a person, not physically but mentally?
    Music in general can’t kill a person physically but in a way it can kill them mentally, whether people are listening to Rock music, Rap music Hip-Hop music, Country music…..etc. if you think about it there’s a lot of people who listen to music and take the song serious, in other words the take the message of the song to heart, and maybe it’s a song of depression and they start remember about the bad things that happen in their life, maybe the song is talking about self-abuse or hurting someone else. That’s why music can kill someone mentally, but music isn’t bad just don’t take the message serious.

  7. Why is adoption a good thing?
    Adoption is a good way to get certain children to grow up with a family. Most children grow up in shelters with no family nor siblings to support them. Its good for a lot of people to adopt a child for the kid could be able to grow up with a family that will call them their own. Every kid needs a family and some one that will make them smile. Adopted children will be healthy children in aspect.
    Should more people adopt more children?
    Yes, people should adopt more children because everyone deserves to have a family and they're are certain children that don't have that luck. People should consider adopting children for the matter of them being able to have a better future. Everyone deserves to have a good life even if they are off to a bad start. Adoption is good for those who aren't able to have there own.
    What type of people adopt children?
    People that adopt kids sometimes just do it cause they have good hearts. Most often people adopt kids because they aren't able to have there own children . I believe that regardless of the fact that you are able to have kids for your self or not you should still adopt a child that doesn't have a family. A child always deserves to have a home and a family.

    Technology is really important in our lives. Everywhere we go, we see technology and use technology. We use it to call someone, help someone, and make a product for someone. Technology is what makes the world go world. It's like a necessity for the world.

    There are many types of technology these days. We have portable technology like our phones, tablets, and laptops. In people's homes, they have microwaves, television, and computers.

  13. Why do people go to school just to drop out at the end?

    At a young age I was taught that If I didn't go to school I would be considered a fool but by going to school I would feel dumb trying to retain information I didn't want to hold. Why was I going to school just to be taught these distractions I didn't personally need? It was so I would give up. School wasn't made for everybody, it was made for those who have patience and that's why people drop out.

    Why should someone continue to get their studies?

    Just because school is difficult doesn't mean it's a dead end, it's only a stop sign. If it was easy what would be the point of going? School was made in the form of a key to open many doors, you just have to find out which door is for you. Someone shouldn't stop their studies for whatever reason because the day we stop learning is the day we stop growing.

    What if school wasn't made for you?

    School wasn't made for everybody not because it's impossible for my friend to learn, but because my friend is a quitter. Unless the person is disabled there's no reason for someone to say they can't learn. The only thing that stops you from learning is yourself and if you feel like school isn't for you then find what is.

  14. Why does childhood obesity happen?

    It happens due to low income from the family. Many people haven’t notice but fruit vegetable are more expensive then junk food. It also has to do with the children lifestyle. Nearly 11 percent of calories consumption has to do with sugar beverages. Kids also spend most of their time watching TV playing video games and being on the computer.

    How does it affect the children long term?

    Kids who are overweight have a greater chance of diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol. If they are obese at an early age they will likely be obese as an adult. This can lead to heart disease, stroke and joint problem. Long term it will also affect them medically. Medical cost is three time higher then children who are obese
    How can we stop childhood obesity?

    Take away the kids video games and TV and tell them to play outside. Children are supposed to participate in at least 60min of physical activity. Instead of rewarding sweets when your child does something good try to reward them a healthy snack. Try to lead by example and eat a healthy snack and encourage them to join you. You think your child is not getting the 60 min of physical activity sign them up for a recreation program

  15. Why do certain individuals have bad eating habits?

    Personally i have experienced with this and observed other people as well who faced this problem. Some individual who have long work hours and little to no break time is the root of the cause of this. This cause the person's stomach to starve at a high point and the individual craving a huge meal which can be unheakthy for calorie consumption and the content in regards to oils, fat, and etc. In between break all that is available would be fast food, which backs up my previous statement.

    Is there a solution for improper eating habits?

    Of course but it is not easily obtainable. For individuals who face this problem don't have time to flex their time and properly eat well. It is commonly known that an average person requires 2000 calories a day, which is ignored and not properly taken in consideration. Understandable that most would skip their breakfast or have something small don't really have any form of energy to start off the day. This leading to eating a large meal and consuming more than 2000 recommended calories and excess store in the body. Another solution is to small meals at different times and of course counting your ideal calorie count.

    Is there a way to lose weight from these habits?

    Of course, not many ppl are aware of this but you can lose weight by cutting down your daily calorie consumption by half. Every food item has a number of calories and difer in size. 1 quarter of a cheeseburger is the same amount of a bowl of broccoli. With this individuals who want to fill their stomachs in a more efficient way to "hit the spot".

  21. It's Monday afternoon, & people have to be places. People have to present business projects to get that raise. People have to be at the airport in an hour to pick up their beloved aunts and uncles. As you look around, the humans rushing off & on trains suddenly start looking like birds. They look like a big, flock of birds flying away because you clapped or stomped on the ground. One second, you hear sincere goodbyes that are face to face. The next second, you hear frustrated voices speaking through cellphones. The smell is awful; it always has been awful. Everyone just gets use to that dumpster scent, & only you only hear tourist say things such as, "Damn it stinks down here!". This is the only place you try to touch everything as least as possible because so many other hands probably touched it. No, an infinite amount of hands probably touched it! 4 sick people touched a railing. 2 dirty people touched that door handle. Yet this where we commute.
