Kids with phones

Today kids get phone very easily. All they have to do is ask or beg. I have to pay for my phones myself. Recently I bought the Samsung Galaxy s4. I have to pay for my own data plan and everything except insurance. Other kids don't pay for their data plan or the phone itself. They end up breaking their phone and just ask for another one. Some kids don't even know what a data plan even is. I believe kids need to learn that things aren't just handed to you. Don't you agree?

Doctor Who

                 Doctor Who is a great show my brother and I love to watch. It is about a person called The Doctor who time travels with a companion. The Doctor is the last of his species a Time lord. His time machine, The Tardis, looks like a old police box in London. A new remake of Doctor Who started in 2006 and is still playing today. My friend told me that they had found some lost Doctor Who tapes in Nigeria. It was shocking because about 60 tapes were lost and they found about 20. You should go on to Netflix and look up Doctor Who. It is a great sci-fi and comedy show. Currently they are airing season 8. So get started and enjoy the show!

Scuba diving



Scuba diving is the most amazing thing I have done in a long time. When you first enter the water a cold wave chills you. Your wetsuit quickly warms you up. You wait for your partner to enter the water then you go down. People don't realize when you go deep into the water there is more pressure on your ears. Therefore you have to equalize you ears. The easiest way to equalize is to pinch you nose and try to blow through your nose. After you have gotten close to the reef it's time to explore. However, you have to be careful. There could be dangerous animals like sharks, jellyfish, and lionfish.  But you have to be aware of the reef. Even if you barely touch you could damage it for years. You should get certified to scuba dive if you haven't. My first scuba dive was in Sant Matin. It is a different world underwater. Have you ever wanted to scuba dive? You should scuba dive. Ask me any more questions in a comment.

Bullying

         Lets face it, we have all at least have been bullied or have bullied someone. Now I'm probably going to check one comment that says otherwise but wait. You may have made fun of someone in a joking way but have never stopped to think if it hurt. Or maybe you have been at work or school, which are where the most bullying occurs, and get named called, excluded, or even pushed and shoved.
    I was bullied at public school. It wasn't severe bulling, but it still hurt. I was mostly named called and excluded from everyone else. The worst thing that ever happened is when I was at a school event and I was trying to keep up with the "cool kids". Then just all of the sudden they turned to me and told me to leave. It hurt because I wanted to be with them. I think the future generations will need less bullying to succeed.
    The terrible events and Columbine High School were predicted to be caused by bullying. That could be the after effect of bullying. Or it could be something smaller. Like the victim never gets a job, gets bad grades, never goes to college. So speak up for yourself and others.

                                                                          Online Gaming

Online gaming is fun. You can play with your friends and meet new ones. However you every once and a while find really mean or weird person. I think it matters because kids about 8 to even 5 year olds playing these games with these people. I think that kids 10 and older should be able to play with some setting set to keep these kids safe. Right?
So my dad has set the settings so I can only hear my friends.  However, I have one friend at school that is really quiet at school but is really mean and obnoxious. Sometimes you can't protect yourself enough because they seem quiet and nice but online they aren't. Don't you agree?
It could matter because these people online will cuss and these kids won't know what it means and goes yelling it at school. Then you have the weirdos that ask for the kids address which that can get scary. How would you feel if a guy came to your door claiming he knows you/your son/daughter.
