1. The biggest problem in a America today is people are to gullible. As soon as people hear something from someone or something they automatically believe it if everyone starts believing it. I read an article once where people protested dihydromonoxide on the streets saying why is was so bad, eventually people joined in and started helping them. It was a joke because it was water that they were protesting against and all people did was listen to what the protesters said with out knowing what it really was. People will watch TV and get the wrong idea about everything with out knowing. You have to believe in what you believe in and do some research before you make decisions. Everyone will watch the news and celebrities and always get the wrong idea because someone tells one story. This goes for people to, if someone sees or hears that someone is involved in a crime or drugs they automatically put a label on them. Sure it is bad but you never know the situation and what people are going through. People just follow the crowd weather they agree or not.
2. The thing I would recommend for everyone is just be real and yourself. If you're straight up and not fake everything will fall into place. If you act the same when your with your friends, family, and by yourself theres no need for you to act different in front of other people. Sure your not going to be the same with your friends and your parents but you shouldn't have to worry about weather people will like you or not. Every teacher, parent, and adult will tell you this, and at first we as teens might say "whatever what do you know" but the fact is its true, through the years that they've been alive they've learned this and are only trying to help us. You can really notice this in highschool, with the freshman's all worried about image and who there getting involved with, but when you see the upperclassmen they know the deal and know that thats just a maturity thing. So I say this advice to help people early and because it is the truth. Being your self and straight up is the best way to be because you'll probably find happiness where ever you go.
3. Before i leave for the summer of 2012 i want to accomplish and do alot of things. For one i want to advance to the state tournament later this month in march. ive been working all season and i thought my season would end last tournament at districts but i fought through it to make it to regionals and i am now state ranked, so i dont want to be a disappointment. i also want to get my license in april and have my car ready. im ready for the responsibility of that and want to be able to do things my own way. i also want to take my SAt's and do good in them. Hopefully your class will help me in that. i want to start working alot more because collage is coming up and im going to need all the help i can get. ive grown alot so far and i just want to continue with this progress. Everyone says it will be over before we know it so im making it count my last two years here. Hope fully when im gone people will remember the things i did here and say good thing about me.

I completely agree with you when you said that you have to believe in what you believe in and do some research before you make decisions. think also that not many people today have their own opinions, and I think more people need to not listen to everything they say because to be honest, most of the time it is bull. We need to not stand by, but stand up for what we believe in, not what others believe in.
