Raising Voting Ages to 25?

I may have no interest to vote, well for this election for that matter. Everyone running this year is completely horrible... we have Bernie, our communist, Hillary, one who's expected to get arrested any time soon, and Trump, our... well lets just hope he doesn't win AT ALL, cause if he does, forget about the "American Dream" my friend. But that's besides the point, irrelevant. Point is that there are many kids my age that are like me, we know about office and all these things, we deserve to vote. We used to go to war and fight for our country, so why cant we decide who runs our country? Its honestly unfair, us 16 year olds can do many other things other than vote, don't people know that if we were able to vote we can bring up the numbers and replace those who don't vote with our votes? Many adults act more like 16 year olds than we may. They don't work, they're hands down lazy, know nothing about politics, that they don't even vote, and if so, they don't ever know who they're voting for. You trust me with a car, some states even trust kids with drinking, but not to vote? If the fear of government is having 16 year olds vote for someone who destroys our country, they shouldn't be because we are well on our way to a collapsing empire. The fear should be of those who vote for Donald trump...  like c'mon, seriously who chose these people to run for office?? This situation is more confusing than common core geometry.

I'd be lying if I told you that I totally remembered to blog, because as late as this is, you would know that I totally forgot to blog. Guess winter break just got me a little too excited... I remembered to blog only because it's Wednesday and winter break is about halfway through :(. But that's irrelevant, besides the point. Before winter break, we finished reading Lord of the Flies and we also watched the movie that was in black and white, which wasn't at all that bad. 

 

There was a part of the book where the kids were being whipped and let me tell you... In the movie that totally caught me off guard and I totally forgot about that part... All i managed to do was laugh, it was unexpected because I guess I didn't picture it to be as it was in the film . The kid was completely naked! And don't even get me started about the noises he was making that were meant to sound like he was in 'pain'. There was pretty strong comments said in the movie that don't seem so bad when they're being read in your head but once it comes out of a 12 year olds mouth it's just like, "watch your profanity". It was a bummer that it was black in white but I hope that soon someone will make one in color Rated R, showing the pig actually talking and all the other things that they missed in the black and white film, producers should know that it's the smallest things they tend to miss that also count. But over all it was a book that turned out to be pretty good.

And that's what I'm talking about ... A movie as great as this picture in color! 

It's been weeks ago when Mr. Jackson gave a lesson about two things that caught my attention. He talked to us about being left out...

It's not the best feeling in the world when you know that you're being left out on things. Wether it be hanging out with your friends or just having a conversation with them. It really makes me think about how people may feel when I've left them out, because I'd be lying to you if I said that I've never left someone out on something before and if it's not too late, I'm very sorry for that. If I have ever been left out, I'm glad I don't know about it, because now that I've heard how people have felt, I can only wonder about the feeling. But I've also learned that it's okay to give those the gift of your absence wen they may not appreciate your presence...

I also recall a lesson about rules you live by. I feel as if these rules should apply to anyone... Everyone. But as I've noticed, everyone seems to set different rules down for themselves. Rules that may only apply to them and not anyone else. Wether it be because of religion, the way you think, or how you were raised, these rules are different to everyone. Sometimes people may look at you funny or talk because maybe you're more honest or maybe you're more conservative, because maybe the rules you live by are different. But that's so wrong because people should just let you rock... I mean that's why there's diversity because we're all different . I'm not saying it's okay to go around doing the wrong. I'm saying that just because my rules don't apply to yours doesn't mean I'm any different... I'm still a person, It shouldn't give anyone a right to judge me .These are the rules I live by... Be original, have determination for your goals and ambitions, and treat others as you wish to be treated. Maybe yours are different.
