Kony 2012

     The Kony 2012 idea I think is a brilliant way to get people to notice him and to let the government know that this has to change. But there are some flaws with the idea, yes people are starting notice him and know his name. But they dont exactly know who he is and what he does. They should also advertise more about the horrible things that he did and still does so people really know what is going on and why he needs to get noticed. Also alot of people think that this came a little to late becuase what he did has already been done and the worst is pretty much over.

Are people good or evil ?

     There are very good reasons for each argument, and its hard to choose a side. But I believe that humans are more on the side of evil than good mostly because of nature and how we started global warming and making it worse. There are many different videos and books about what humans have done to the environment like the inconvenient truth by Al Gore, in my opinion that is one of the best movies about global warming and one that could make a change. There are good people in the world trying to change it but theres way to many that are oblivious to what is happening and arent making a change at all. Those are the people that are evil even though some dont even know it.

Teenagers asking viewers

      It is true that alot of kids are very insecure with there looks and what poeple think of them. They go out and spend all their money on clothes and makeup soo that kids at school will like them more. Yes there are alot of kids out there that tease and pick on people for how they look, from what I have seen its mostly girls trying to fit in and also being mean to others, they pick on other girls to try and show that they are better then them. There are way better ways to feel better about your self and less insecure then to ask people online how ugly you are. If you tell them to be honest and that you can handle it, The viewers will be brutally honest and very mean. Posting a picture of your self online is just letting all those other bullies around the world see you and be able to say more mean things.

Should victory lapped be scrapped ?

     I think having a choice to take a 5th year should not be taken away from students. Most kids probably know what they want to do with there life when older but some kids don't and need the extra year to figure it out. I agree with Jenna Hazzards comment on fifth year saying "Since many students do not decide on their future career until Grade 11 or even 12, they end up scrambling to fit in the necessary courses for their chosen career. The fifth year is high school’s last gift to its students before we are expected to join the adult world, and it would be a shame to take that away". I am only in grade 10 but i am pretty sure I want to take the extra year to figure out what I really want and to be sure. The victory lap is very useful for students and should not be taken away.
