"I don't think that Santa's real, but I think that it's a good thing that many children still beleive in this theroy. The orgin is super intresting, but I know that in reality Santa Clause doesn't really exist."

"I'm kind of dissapointed to read that projects are becoming less common in school classrooms. I remember that doing projects, coloring on pages, and writing stories used to be my favorite things to do in the early days of school. I don't know if…"

"I used to beleive in Santa Clause, and base all my decisons off of the question, "Would Santa approve of this?', but now I obviously know that Sanata isn't real and something like Santa's made out to be just isn't relastic. "

"The grinch is one of the better Universal Studios and Illumination movies, but a lot of their movies are just unpopular and the older grinch movie, in which waasn't produced by Universal Studios, pulls out a lot more people's heart strings, as…"

"Even though ordering off of amazon or big websites like that might be more handy, there's no denying that buying locally gives items more uniqueness. I think we should buy from both, big and small corpreations; because it's important. Personally, I…"

"I think that exchange years are good and a great oppertunity for students to meet other students and learn new ways of life. Personally, If I were to become a forgein exchange student, I would be very picky about what country I go to and what state…"

"I do't want to justify our corrupting country falling behind on events that other country's are on top on, but I don't think we should be dependent on other countires for our goods. It's time for America to begin getting our things together,…"

"Personally I think that these laws are very benifical and I support the,. I couldn't have worded it better, these laws indeed do save lives. I would also agree that ALL, including guns but not excluding other harmful weapons, should be taken out of…"

"Unless their kid has given them a reason to seach through their social media, I personally would'nt agree that parents should monitor children's social media activity. Children, and even teenagers, tend to have very little freedom, and social media…"

"I want to go to college and attneding college is actually one of my biggest life goals. Everbody has their own opinions, but I personally don't think that college is too much money if you're really passionate about your major."

"There's no doubt in my mind that Crumbely is guilty. He's the one who pulled back on the trigger to let the bullets fly. He WANTED and was PLANNING to hurt, if not, intentionlly kill his classmates. I understand that Ethan had an mental illness, but…"

"Personally, I don't think in any cases that child marriages should be justified. Honestly, it all depends on the love history, so there really is no "good answer", to put on what age is reasonable for a marriage to be done, but I would say 18+. My…"

"This school shooting most defintely could've been avoided. Even if the shooter didn't know he had a mental illness, he knew something was wrong with himself when he planned how he was going to shoot his scool up, He easily could've reached out for…"

"Honestly, I beleive that there's always going to be some new type of Covid-19 varaint, but I understand the reasons why this variant could have people concerned. I think that people have learned what to do from the last Coroavirus pandemic so we…"

"Honestly, as long as kids have some kind of common sense about what and what not to wear I don't think dress codes are extremely nessacary. I understand that there has to be some form of rules, but some staff members at school can be extremely…"

"Honestly, I think it's all about personal prefrence. Some people use cursive of their main form of writing, but others just use normal print. To me, I don't mind writing in cursive but I would much rather write in print. Most people sign their names…"

"In a perfect world, healthcare would be free, but unfortunely we don't live in a perfect world, though it would be nice, somebody has to pay for that all and the United States has already dug themselves a deep holein debt. I don't think healthcare…"

"If I found this mummy, I would think that it's exciting but terrifying at the same time, and wouldn't help to wish that some other person would've found it rather than me. "

"Depending on your future plans and goals in life, learning a new language can be important for people. For me, I take spanish and it's not the class I'm the best at and I couldn't even imagine taking it at a younger age, so I think it really devlops…"

"I don't really see nor understand why anybody thinks that oreos are racist. I really don't think that it was the famous cookie's coorperation's goal to show equality through a cookie, but much less the oreo cookie literally has more black and white…"

"I think that they indeed should lower the voting age to 16, but I understand why the goverment would be skeptical of this, because 16 year olds don't make the wisest deciosns and some are often very unfamilar with important issues, but the…"

"I could put up a pretty good argument that homework doesn't help children learn, and is more of just a chorse. Students either know the material well enough to stay consitent on homework, or cheat. In the end, nobody really learns anything when it…"

"As somebody who drinks monster energy drinks on a pretty consistent bases, I don't think that energy drinks are the best for people, but of course that's true at any age. Prohibitting it for people under age 18 isn't going to be any different from…"

"I think that more time and conisderation should've been put into this vaccine. I think that the Biden Administration rushed this vaccine carelessly because they were embarassed that every other country was condoing this pandemic and getting it under…"

"I beleive that Travis Scott could've done more for his fanbase. Travis has a long history of not caring enough, and sometimes even premoting, his fans to do dangeorus stunts and things at concerts. There's even clips of his fans jumping off…"

"I beleive that it's important for children and their parents to get educated about the vaccine, but premoting it on a TV show isn't the place to do it.  I think that talk about the COVID19 vaccine has been out enough that parents should be educated…"

"I don't beleive that anything that this conspiracy theroy group is doing is right, and if it does exist and is as damaging to the United States as we all predict it is, than I think that's a terrible thing."

"Even though they're some postives, I think that social media is more negative than positive. I spend a lot more time on social media than I should, when I should rather be dojng school work or basic chores.  There are a few postives to social media,…"

"Personally, I couldn't have said it better when you talked about how it's not fair for a child to be sent to a ten week long camp without their consent. It's these childrens choice to get better, and honestly I think they would pick better options."

"From the resarch I gathered, I've seen that all camps are very similar to the camp in Utah that this forum focuses on, if not worse. Stories like the one you've mentioned are very common, and sleeping conditions can be even worse, if allowed to…"

"I agree, and wouldn't send my loved ones to a camp like this either. There have been reports of children not coming home, losing their lives at the camp, and having permant post- damage and trauma. Mental health is an important issue and should not…"

"I understand you're mindset, and maybe the camp did try to have good intetions behind their idea, but if they geninly cares about these children becoming aware and themselves again, they wouldn't be beaten half to death because they didn't finish…"

"I don't think that our school district should require uniforms. I understand the perspective that uniforms could solve the concern of students wearing, "street clothes", to school, but honestly to me, as long as the clothes a student wears is…"

"Honestly, I don't really care if facebook changes their name or not, but I do think that it won't stick as well as Facebook would."

"I would'nt like to attend a wilderness camp either if I were struggling with my mental health.  I agree with you when you said that if it was ncie and calming I would like it, but one that is rough would just honestly make my mental health worse."

"I agree, and you're right, you just can't help somebody who doesn't want help. Sending your child out to the wilderness to freeze for 88 days is not making their case any better. It's truly not saving them from anything, and there's much better ways…"

"I agree, Tolga. Mentally ill teens who are already struggling deserve a better idea of therapy and treatment. The United States proves that they're lacking personal thoughts and emphaty the moment they made those camps elligble for teens to enroll…"

"I agree with you, some things that cancel culture "cancels", are out of pocket, and just because they offend a few people doesn't mean that they should be taken away, but cancel culture can also be a good thing, because no matter how against it you…"

"I think that school defintely does affect students' mental health, and some things that teachers could do to decrease stress over their students' academics, is by betting the education system and have less things like homework, tests, etc..."

"Exactly. This is a more traumatizing experince for kids than a bettering. "

"I agree, and couldn't have said it better when you wrote, "stopping things like this would be a major step", towards betterering how America deals with mental health. You're completely right, it's torture."

"Before reading this, I didn't really think that Disney was up to any nefarious acts, but post-reading this, it is very odd how Disney recives the 2nd largest shipment of gun power, ironiclly behind the U.S Military. I think that Disney puts on an…"

"When I first became aware of the shipping crisis, it's because my package came in three weeks later than expected. I looked into the situation, and that's when I became aware of the global shipping crisis. So, yes, this has affected me personally…"

"Honestly, I think that there should be parts of the interestate without a speel limit. This could benifit indivuals who are in a rush, or just get them to their destination faster. Not to mention, I know our society isn't the most intellegent, but…"

"I understand where you're coming from when you said that teen's drinking is a horrible thing to do and should never be dand it's a one, which I agree, in a perfect world teens should not even have accsess to alcahol, but nothing is going to stop…"

"I think that we should change the way that we teach kids, because honeslty school just feels like it's about passing and not about really learning. This kind of scares me for our future, because we are generation of kids who've basically learned how…"

"As somebody who's been vaccinated with the COVID-19 shot, I would not let my child get the vaccine. I'm a 14 year old girl who felt the same horrific side efects as adults who are in their 40's do. I could never imagine a child enduring all the side…"

"I agree with the reasons that you've listed about why America is so high in obsesity rates, and I defintely think their is measures we can take to prevent obesity as a society. For starters, if you've ever taken any kind of FCS class, even back in…"

"I agree with your views about euthanasia. This sounds like a humane and ethical way to put somebody's pain to an end, without them feeling anything and can even be voluntarily done.  I see how the public could raise concerns about this topic, and …"
