"I don't have a tracking app on my phone and thanks to my parents trusting me, we have a good relationship. If parents want to know where their kids are, they can just call or text them. I know the world is a dangerous place, but in rural Iowa the…"

"I think that the death penalty is justified when the convicted is a murderer, rapist, or pedophile. Those are the worst crimes in my opinion and I think every state should have the death penalty for those people. That being said, I know the death…"

"I would rather have practice after school because I'm already not getting enough sleep and my homework doesn't take too long to finish usually. Plus, I play soccer and there is no way I would stay awake at school after running around for two hours."

"My favorite pop is Dr. Pepper and while that isn't a Coca-Cola product, I think that buying their products is fine. It was just a business trying to make as much money as possible and that's the whole point of capitalism. Also, sometimes we just…"

"I think it's smart to have students take standardized tests, but no school should rely solely on them. If a student has a bad day and does bad on a test or gets a lucky guess, the test won't be accurate, so schools should also look at daily…"

"I have never and probably never will set a New Year's resolution. I just make small goals for myself throughout the year depending on what's happening in my life. New Year's resolutions don't exactly cause problems, but they don't solve most…"

"There definitely were depressed farmers because they were losing their livelihoods. I don't know enough about what changed after this, but I would think that there would be less giant farms and more smaller, family-owned farms. Farming isn't as…"

"I think that talking in class can help as long as you're not interrupting anybody and it's not an individual work time or test. I don't often join in any discussion because I'm just a quiet person naturally, but it does help sometimes when others…"

"I would prefer it if school started at 8:30 because I'm someone who just can't fall asleep before 11:00, so I never get 8 hours of sleep. Although, that would mean having to start sports later in the day which sucks, but more sleep equals better…"

"You should definitely go to Yellowstone and try to see a wolf."

"Those animals are definitely more common then wolves in Yellowstone."

"Then it's a good thing I wrote this so you know about it."

"The way I'm reading this, it sounds like you think taking the wolves out of Yellowstone was good. That's definitely wrong."

"I also saw elk when I was at Yellowstone, but they never ran across the paths."

"I agree that endangered animals need to be repopulated."

"E-cigarettes and normal cigarettes are both terrible for your health, but if I had to pick one, I would probably say e-cigarettes are worse overall. They specifically target teenagers with the flavors and the chemicals could be even worse than…"

"I agree with the black rhinos being brought back to more of their native habitat. In fact, most African animals deserve it."

"When I went to Yellowstone I saw some of those signs too. I didn't see any mountain goats though."

"I've been to Yellowstone, but didn't see a wolf either."

"Now you know more about the reintroduction of wolves."

"I guess its a good thing I wrote this then. Hope you found it interesting."

"I don't think that my parents should be worried, but that doesn't mean that others shouldn't be. I usually only use my phone for Google, communication, and games. However, I know some people are addicted to their phones and can spend hours on them.…"

"I did grow up believing in Santa and stopped believing around 9 years old. I think parents should have their kids believe in Santa. It brings more joy and magic to Christmas, and lets kids have a more positive look at life. It can also make them…"

"bump"

"When I went to Yellowstone, I didn't see any wolves either."

"I have been to Yellowstone and it's awesome. I definitely suggest going."

"I agree that it's cool that animals can restore nature mostly on their own."

"I agree that Yellowstone is amazing for doing this."

"I don't know how they would go about it, but I agree that the African elephant population needs to grow."

"I don't think that daylight saving time is necessary because society has been built to last without it. Vehicles have bright enough lights that you can fairly easily tell what's in front of you. There are also plenty of people who work better at…"

"I don't think that anybody should have a gun in school. If it was up to me, there would be way stricter gun laws. Since that won't happen and people keep finding ways to bring guns into school, maybe there should be security guards with…"

"I think that self check-out is making shop-lifting easier, but if people are going to steal, the kind of check-out won't change anything. It is probably taking away jobs in stores, but there are a lot of jobs out there. I personally like self…"

"I think it would be good to offer the class, but I also think that very few people would sign up for it. Maybe if it was just a semester were you learn the ASL alphabet the class could work. I probably wouldn't take the class because I am already…"

"My favorite part of Christmas break is that it is time off of school. Plus, you get presents. My family puts up decorations both outside and inside our house. This year, we decided to take advantage of the warmer weather and put up the outside…"

"I think it's fair to sue Panera Bread, but there is no reason the girl who died should have drank the lemonade in the first place. If she knew about her heart condition, then she should have known how dangerous caffeine could be for her. That being…"

"I think that if I had a big farm and not enough or bad employees, I would want an autonomous tractor. There is no way these tractors won't start off costing over $100,000. However, I think that 50 years from now, they will be somewhat common and…"

"I think the government should pay for all public colleges like it does with K-12 schools. This would help with poverty and businesses not having enough employees. I don't know if I will go with a public college because I prefer smaller classes, but…"

"Midgley's invention is definetly to blame for lead poisoning being more common. He may not have known all of the dangers of lead, but he still caused a ton of lead-related deaths. It's kind of difficult to hold him accountable though because he's…"

"I think it depends on the celebration. If the celebrator is making fun of the other team, wasting time, or being inappropriate, then there should be some sort of penalty. If they're not, then there shouldn't be a penalty."

"I probably wouldn't let my kid get a tattoo because kids and teens tend to be impulsive. I don't see tattoos as a bad thing, but they could be regretable and need careful consideration. I know I'll never get one. I think it depends on the tattoo's…"

"I don't really care if there is flag football or American football in the Olympics, but I would say that a sport called American football would be unfair in a global competition. I think that NFL players would like it because it would mean more…"

"I don't think the U.S. should get directly involved for either side. I say we just send humantarian aide to both Palestinians and Isreali people. This is a civil war between Hamas/Palestine and Isreal. I don't think it's our business other than the…"

"I don't have a job but I plan on getting one next year. I think it's important for teens to get jobs so we know what working is like before we have to completely rely on our own income as adults. It's also a way to pay for college or have extra…"

"I do use plastic water bottles because metal water bottles don't fit in my bag nicely. I will refill the plastic water bottles though, so they last about a week. Then I recycle them. I hope they are recycled but a lot of plastics we recycle are just…"

"I have glasses that I hate wearing, but I doubt I will ever try contacts. I can't even use eye drops. Trying to put something on my eye probably won't work well. I can see why a lot of people prefer contacts, but glasses are just easier."

"I would suggest getting a college degree, but I don't think it should be required. I think that everybody should have a backup plan, especially in sports because of the high risk of a career ending injury. If somebody can go pro right out of high…"

"I would love to go to Italy. I think that they have some of the best food, the citizens are likely to know some English, and Rome is in Italy. Rome, of course, has a ton of history in it. I would be cocerned about getting lost or mugged. "

"I think that books are better than the movies. The only movies that I have seen that are better than their book counterparts are the Lord of the Ring and Hobbit movies. I liked the Hobbit book but couldn't finish the Lord of the Rings books. Every…"

"Holidays, especially Christmas, are becoming commercialized for better or worse. Christmas has almost always included giving gifts, but nowadays it's way more expensive. I wouldn't say that it lost its meaning though. In order to give gifts, you…"
