Speaking Up - A Teen’s Greatest Challenge People are unique and have different perspectives and opinions about certain things that occurred in our society. People require speaking up in order to communicate their thoughts and feelings to the society. A lot of teenagers find it difficult to speak up. They choose to stay silent when something is essential to be said. Speaking up when it may otherwise seem impossible is a teen’s greatest challenge because it may take risks, trigger rebellions and hurt other people’s feelings. One reason that makes speaking up a teen’s greatest challenge is that it requires a teen’s courage. Many teenagers are not brave enough to speak up when something really important should be said. In The Shape of The Girl, at the age of fourteen, Braidie is not able to speak up for Sofie, a girl that used to be her friend and is constantly being targeted by the other girls: “Sofie's head is turning, twisting away from Adrienne and… turning to me. Braidie please. You do what you have to do. You look down. Like this.” (Macleod 55) Braidie knows what adrienne has done is wrong, but why does she choose to stay silent instead of speaking up? She knows Sofie needs her help, yet she feels she couldn’t move even if she wants to. The reason for that is that Braidie does not have the courage which allows her move forward and act. Many teenagers face the same problem as Braidie when they try to speak up. When they are not courageous enough, fear will take over and…

The term “rent-seeking” was coined by a man named Gordon Tullock in the late 60’s, then became an expression in 1974, by Anne Krueger.

One of the most challenging jobs in the world is raising a child. There is nothing comparable to the constant worry, love, and nurture that a parent provides for their child. It is a nonstop job that follows one to the grave. It is a job that holds many joys, but holds many adversities as well. Robert Hayden’s “Those Winter Sundays” and Langston Hughes “Mother to Son” are two different poems that share the same theme—Parents continuously face hardships, struggles, and obstacles when raising a…

In our world, there is a common misconception that everything is possible in the United States. For example, people often image a life with a spouse, home, and white picket fence. However, in reality, there is a huge difference between this common misconception that everyone can achieve this picture-perfect life and what life often entails for many.
