"I think that smoking in public can be banned. It isn't good for you to breathe in the smoke, even if it is second hand. The smell of smoke can bother some people, and it can affect their health as well. I think that you should only be able to smoke…"

"I think that the paparazzi should be banned because celebrities just want to live normal lives, and they don't want people chasing them around with cameras. I also think taking pictures of children should be banned. If the paparazzi was following…"

"Personally, I have never used photoship. However, I don't think it should be banned. Many photographers use photoshop to make the pictures look better. You can use photoshop for beneficial purposes as well. People just need to know that not…"

"I do think that semester tests are necessary because the show what we have learned throughout the semester. They also prepare us for higher education. Semester tests might seem big now, but they are the size of a pretty average test in college. They…"

"I think that everyone that isn't failing classes should have open campus during semester tests. There haven't been many issues in the past, so I think that until there are major issues, we should be able to leave for lunch and study halls. Sitting…"

"I do think that schools should require the classes that they require now. I don't enjoy learning these subjects either, but they are necessary. They can help us decide what we want to do as a future career. Many of the skills we learn in school can…"

"I don't think that unmarked police cars should be banned because they can be very useful in stopping crimes. They can approach crime scenes easier. If you are obeying all traffic laws it shouldn't be an issue that there are undercover cops on the…"

"I would like to have open seating, but I do understand why we have assigned seating. It does help us learn better because we aren't distracted by our classmates and friends. I also think it can be more beneficial for sudents to meet more people and…"

"I think the penny should be taken out of circulation. I don't think I've ever used a penny to pay with exact change, and they don't add up very fast even if you collect them. It is a waste of the U.S. government's money by keeping them in…"

"Personally, I don't experience anxiety on a day to day basis. In certain situations, I do begin to feel anxious, but that is not very often. I think that practicing mindfulness in school could be beneficial for some students, but I don't think it…"

"Personally, I think the abortion pill should be illegal because it is still an abortion, and abortions are banned in many states. I don't think the government will ban this pill because they are only used for early pregnancies. I do think that the…"

"I do think that AI is one of the fastest growing forms of technology in our world. Personally, I can't see myself using an AI chatbox regularly, but I do see how it can be helpful in some circumstances. With the career field I want to go into, I…"

"I don't think My AI is very helpful because all of the questions you ask it get computer generated responses. Although I do think AI will be a big part of our future, it is weird now because it is still very new and it is very fake. Personally, I…"

"I think that the people should have to enter into a class with their biological gender at birth. This goes for all sports, not just powerlifting. There is a reason why sports have had two different genders forever, and nothing in todays world should…"

"I do think that dress codes are geared toward girls, and I think that should be changed. Personally, I don't wear clothes to school that break the dress code, but that is just because I prefer wearing sweatshirts and leggings over jeans and a…"

"I don't personally know anyone with severe childhood trauma. The best thing that I would do to help someone with childhood trauma is just be there for them to talk to and make sure they know that I am there for them whenever they need someone.…"

"I don't think airpods are bad for your hearing. I have had airpods for almost 2 years, and I haven't noticed any change in my hearing. Sometime my airpods do hurt my ears after wearing them for a long time, but it isn't anything major. I use my…"

"I live in the country. When I get older, I'm not sure yet if I want to live in the country or the city. Living in the city can give kids more opportunities, but the small town/rural community also teaches kids a lot. I enjoy the country because it…"

"I do not think students should be required to take 2 years of a foreign language. Personally, I would anyways, but a lot of students struggle in learning foreign languages, so I don't think it should be a requirement. I think that teaching kids a…"

"I have two siblings. I think that siblings are better than being an only child because it gives you a lot more socialization at a young age, which is important for child development. You get socialization at home too, rather than just at daycare or…"

"I think that we should be required to wear seatbelts. Statistically, the majority of fatal car accidents happen when the deceased wasn't wearing a seatbelt. These laws aren't put into place for no reason, and I think that this law should stay in…"

"I think that Netflix has become less popular over the years. I still have Netflix, but I don't watch it near as much as I used to. With streaming services such as Hulu and Peacock, I feel like those services have better options for both shows and…"

"I did not know about the impact that palm oil has on the environment, and it is not something I usually check for on my food lables. I think that rainforest deforestation should be limited, and we should use alternative oils like canola oil rather…"

"I use tiktok on a daily basis, just whenever I have free time during my day. I don't know if the Chinese are spying on us, but if they are I think someone American should buy out tiktok, so we can continue to use the app. I understand why Joe Biden…"

"Personally, I think that sports participation is decreasing because there are a lot of older players that are coming out with injuries now. People see that sports, while they can be very good for you, can also cause lasting damage. If it is a risk…"

"I think that walking single file is much better than just letting people walk around freely.l It is much easier to track students and make sure all of them get out safe. I would not change the way the school has it now because I think it is a very…"

"SInce Tennessee is a very conservative state, I think that not feeling included had something to do with it. Obviously, anyone that can commit such a horrific crime is severely mentally ill. The cops did a great job by putting a stop to it only 15…"

"I do see your point that putting an age limit on them wouldn't be fair to the people who only drink them when necessary."

"Yes, energy drinks are fine in moderation, it when teens are drinking 3-4 a day that it becomes an issue."

"I agree that if there was an age limit on them, the younger kids would have their siblings/friends buy them for them."

"I agree that parents should discuss energy drinks with their children, and it can be up to the parents what they want their kids to consume."

"yes, young kids drinking energy drinks often can cause lasting heart problems that are irreversible."

"Yes, I agree that 21 would be way too old, but a limit around 15 could benefit a lot of people."

"Yes, I think that the age limit on 5 hour energy is appropriate since it is a lot of caffeine all at once, but ones like monster and red bull would be hard to enforce."

"I agree that kids shouldn't be drinking energy drinks since they have a lot of natural energy as well."

"I agree that your body doesn't make caffeine naturally when it is being supplemented daily. That is why you get headaches if you don't have caffeine for one day after drinking it regularly."

"I see your point that if energy drinks are banned, people could just start drinking more coffee or other natural sources of caffeine."

"I agree that the people who consume them should know the risks."

"I agree. Any kid under the age of 14 shouldn't be consuming the large amounts of caffeine that energy drinks have."
