It seems society has always been stable in America. Today it has gotten carried away and no one really seems to care. Kids are killing themselves, obesity is at its highest, people are phone addicted, and the list keeps going on. Not many people are speaking out against it and less people are acting to change things. Society has many problems and we need solutions before it is too late.
There are so many things happening right now that we don’t even know some of the major things. People ignore some important things and only focus on the good.

If they weren 't they get whipped or punished. Now in almost every class there are kids who disrespect the teacher every day. A problem with teachers is that some of them yell a lot, or make students feel dumb. That makes learning harder because students will fear asking questions
