Doing It

Did you know that 5% of kids and teens get paid for doing their chores all over the world? All kids and teens should be paid for doing their chores. Chores help kids by teaching them responsibility at home, they'll become more self sufficient, and they'll learn to handle their money better. I want the 5% rating to bump up to 90% for all kids and teens getting paid for chores. To start off, responsibility is a big and important part of our everyday lives, and all kids should master it. In…

This week in school we learned about an interesting book called A raisin in a son. One assignment I am doing well in is the A raisin in a son packet. I think I will be able to improve my grade in Math class because I retook the test to see If I will get a better grade. If I were watching myself in my Math class I would keep doing the same thing I am doing but try to complete my Khan academy more and also try to not get off task. One thing that helped me push myself was to get my grade up so I…

make up both of them. People do things that are “evil” but they think what they are doing is “good”. Something that comes into my mind when I think about something like this is 9/11. The reason that 9/11 comes into my mind is because Bin Laden was doing something evil and he had all of those followers working for him. These followers believed they were doing something “good” for god but in reality they were doing something evil. When I was reading Plato’s Gorgias I believe that Plato thinks…

“Everybody’s doing it”, has come out of my mouth on several occasions, especially when I was a teenager. If everybody’s doing it, it must be o.k. That way of thinking, has caused me my share of trouble. One story that stayed with me for over 35 years is when my high school basketball team won the state championship. Our coach decided to have a cookout at her home in our honor. Not only were we invited, but some of her adult friends as well. She had sodas for the team, but alcohol for the…

games, but the first one I started to play on the Xbox 360 was Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. It is a first-person shooter. I played it every single day for hours with my friends and had endless conversations about random stuff. I stopped studying, doing my homework, and classwork. I started to flunk all my classes. I honestly couldn’t care less what grades I was getting because all I really thought about was playing video games. Before I got the Xbox 360 I did very well in school. Every day…

There are many parents that wonder what their kids do over the internet. Coben’s argument states that parents wonder what their kids are doing over the internet. He states that spyware can be a useful tool to spy on your child. I agree with coben’s argument that parents should spy on their for certain sites. Spyware can let you see every keystroke your child does. There are many dangers on the internet where your child can not go on. His arguments state many reasons why parents should put on…

just take a couple of minutes and clear my head, take a deep breath and try to fix what we are arguing about. Also, when I’m stress sometimes I freak out and go crazy, think about deep things and try to calm myself down; Back away from whatever I’m doing and take a couple minutes for myself. For some people they do this everyday or this is their job. I would say meditating works if you do it right and you’re a patient person because some people are so impatient and want the results right there…

responsibility, gain valuable skills, or learn money management. Chores are vital in a child’s childhood, and children should do chores. Chores can shape a child’s behavior. For example, when a child is busy doing chores they are less likely to be in trouble. When I…

after reading the text, I still have the same conclusion. He is not doing it out of empathy or sympathy, and it’s hard to say if it is apathy, but conforming to the perception of more or harsher punishment is a motivating factor which would put him in Level 1 - Stage 1 - Punishment and Obedience. His ultimate motivation is to complete probation without having to go to jail or prison, and is purely self-serving.…
