Abuse

If it is often okay for a woman to put her hands on a man. Why is it such a big deal when a man hits a woman? If I were to hit my boyfriend many people would not worry about it but if he were to hit me then it would different. I think that people should be treated the same and if I hit him I should have some kind punishment. Maybe men don't report it because they are scared what their friends will think like the are weak or something like that. But women and men should have the same kind of consequences.

freedom

I feel as a female I have more restriction then I would if I were male. If I want to go out somewhere my mom never wants me to go by myself and calls me 100x when I do go. One time I went to Wal-mart and I didn't answer she called Wal-mart and had me paged I turned so red. I was so mad with her I didn't want to talk to her ever again. Females are always in the news being messed with not very often are males.

Many low-income countries have less freedoms then we do. We have the right to a free education, many people get to go to college for free. We have the freedom of religion and freedom of speech and the birth right to vote. Many things we forget we could not have.

The more I find out about other societies the more blessed I'm to be an American. I may forget to be thankful for everything I have but I need to learn to be more thankful for what I have and don't have. I need to be happy with what I have and not be worried about getting what I don't need.

Text messages

My mom is always saying "do you not know how to talk on the phone". I prefer to text and probably just about everyone else my age. Sure my mom text too and even my grandma after I taught her. I would rather text someone then call then is that a bad thing? I don't think so I think it is easier then talking on the phone to someone. You don't have answer them, or you can answer when you feel like it. My boyfriend and I text all day we would not be able to talk on the phone to each other all day. I'm in school and he is at work so it makes so much easier to talk and see what each other is up to.

Credit Cards

When I was 16 I went to Disney World, we usually go every year for Martin Luther King Holiday. When we walked through the gate there were people their getting people to sign up for credit cards, if you signed up then you received a free bag with Disney on it. I asked my mom if I could sign up knowing I wasn't old enough she said no. But I did it anyways. I put a fake birthday so I could get the bag and didn't put my social down, about two weeks later I received in the mail a credit card from them. That just shows why Teens are more likely to be in debt they sign up just to get what ever it is they are giving away. So I had a 500 dollar spending limit and boy did I max it out. Well, I didn't pay it so now my credit pretty much sucks if I could go back I would never have signed up for it. Now they bill is so high I cant afford to pay it.
