Yes, I believe that children learn bad thing or habits at a young age. As you d children grow up they are exposed to many problems there family faces arguments, fights and disagreements. A child could catch on to be worriesome about the issues adults face. For example bills, not all family's can pay the high bill amounts so they struggle with low income. If a child seances that his/her parents are upset or worried about a disconnection he/she could become worried as well. Some other problems such as cheating, lying, and not comunitcatimg can effect a relationship to the point where verbal fights break out in front of the kids without the parents knowing they are hearing everything that is being said. These reasons make me believe that young children do learn bad things at a hound age. a child should be allowed to live a child's life, no child should be deprived or denied everyday childhood things so adults can fight about there problems. Children shouldn't have to worry about adult issues because they have years until they even have to think about them.

If my school required a uniform and I was allowed to design it, I would let the students have an input on the look first. I wouldn't have a strict dress code but instead I would want the students to express theirselves in a school appropriate manors. Basically the look would be jeans and a t-shirt. Graphic t-shirts are allowed but nothing negative or provocative. I would allow dress down days where you could wear yoga pants/ basketball shorts. As long as students don't break the rules and obide by the dress code rules there wouldn't be khakis and a polo shirts. But if it gets to the point where numerous people are breaking the rules over and over again the dress code would be changed.

Phone or No Phone? 👍 or 👎

I am personally against the fact that we are not allowed to have our phones out while in the hallways of our schools building's. If a phone is being used in the hallway it's not hurting anyone, at all. The students could be simply responding to a few text messages or updating their status on a social media sight. But I do agree that phones shouldn't be used in the classrooms, simply because of cheating and while your in a class it's to learn. We are in a college setting around adult men and women. All people are good people so what if one person decides they want me or fellow student? We won't be able to do anything because we "can't have our phones". It seems like we are only recognized for our wrong doing. Like I said before we are expected to act like adults because we are on a college campus, but college students have the freedom to have their phones, go to the market place and so on. We are being treated like children but expect to act as adults. Therefor I am against the no cell phones in the hallway rule.

The Magic Smart Phone

If I could design a smart phone with pre-downloaded apps on it I would have a few popular apps built in. Apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Vine and Skype. Theses apps allow the owner of the phone to connect with others with the same app. Plus you don't have to pay for them at all. Even tho most of these are free on the appstore already it could be a hassle to download everything. That's not all this phone could do, the phone would be able to talk you as a human, not as a robot. My magical smart phone can give you 99.9% accuracy on any question you ask it. From the simplest questions to the most outrageous. I think this phone could be a good fit to most people today because it seems the world revolves around social media and people don't want to do much work so the talking human does all the work for you.

Sharks in the Forest!

After awakening my head feels weak, blood runs down my neck. The cut on the back of my neck wasn't deep but had me in pain for a while.what scares me more than being alone is the blood. A shark sense the blood from a distance. Not a moment goes by where I'm not frantic. All of a sudded I hear swooshing above my head. Sharks coming from every corner bobbing and weaving through the trees. I can't keep track of how many are there. All of a sudden the swishing stopped. I look up and sharks around me. I'm so scared that when my just attacked me. But weirdly enough one shark pulls out his medical kit, he starts stitching my cut to stop the bleeding. After he was finished I thanked him. But that wasn't it. We went back to his tree house where we are dinner with other sharks. Fish and coral was on the menu that night. This went a lot better then I thought.. I'm still alive aren't I?

Comfort 
There are many things that comfort me at times. But only a few things can help me through rough times. Some comforting things such as family members, friends and Dylan. I can't talk to many about certain things but those who I do talk to understand and talk me through these hard times. Whenever I need someone to talk to they are always there. My family is open to listen about anything and everything I need to talk about, my friends are there to vent too, Dylan is always there to talk to me and remind me of the good times. With certain people I can open up a little more and dig deeper into my feelings. I would say Dylan comforts me the most because he is there through all the good times and all the bad times. He makes everything better.
