Should School Days Be Extended One Hour.???

      Educators have debated extending school for an extra hour. They believe that in doing so, students will be able to achieve all that is expected of them and will keep them out of trouble. I disagree, these educators have made all these accusations without asking the students themselves. I think extending the school days will have an negative affect on the students. With making the school day longer: it will be darker after school, there will not enough time after school to do more necessary things, and the students will lose interest. I think they should take the students point of view into consideration since they are the ones that have to deal. 
        Students already get out at 3:31. By extending the school day one hour that will mean we get out at 4:31. During this time of the year, it is daylight savings, meaning it gets darker faster. That means that by time school is out, it will be getting dark. Most students have after school programs that make them get out later. Also, we are in Chicago, a very dangerous city. No one is safe. There is more violence later in the day. Keeping in mind that most of the students in our school don't live in a good neighborhood and our school isn't in a good neighborhood; we shouldn't get out of school an hour late. Some students have to travel farther than others, too. By time they get home and it will be really late an really dark. I think that educators should think about the safety of the children when they discuss extending school for a hour. 
         Secondly, school should not be extending because it would deprive student of their time to do more necessary things. There are only 24 hours in a day; school takes up 7 1/2 of them. Educators have not thought about the other things that students have to do after school. Things such as the following: extra curricula activities or clubs, travel home, homework, chores, prepare for school the next day, and everyone knows teenagers love to get on social media. Everyone also needs 10 hours of sleep in order to function properly. Adding an extra hour to the school day will effect us in a negative way.
        Most importantly, the students will lose interest. Both of the other factors also plays a part in this. The risk of more danger and lack of time to complete more nessecary things can make the students lose interest in school. Teachers or administrators will tell us that school isn't suppose to be fun. I agree, but it's suppose to be engaging; making the students learn in a more effective way. How can.we learn if we're tired and worrying about afterschool. Most students nowadays aren't forced to go to school. So them losing interest will mean lost of student and suffering attendance. It can affect the teachers paycheck and cause more shutdowns of schools. Extending school days will effect everyone negatively. 
      In conclusion, I do not think school days should be extended. Educators will regret possibly losing children because of violence at a later time. Losing students in extra curricular activities because of time management. And losing students in school because of those reasons and more. Students deserve to have an opinion, too. And I think every student will argue that the school days should not be extended.

School Uniforms Should Be Required....

Uniforms Isn't That Bad

            Ughhhhhhh.!!!!! School uniforms are disgusting.! Everyone has a different argument about whether students should be required to wear uniform or not. Some think that not wearing uniforms is a distraction. Others think that students should be able to express themselves. After examining both sides, I believe that students should be required to wear uniform.

                Most students and even parents believe that students should be able to wear what they want. They believe that it will save money and promote individuality. With uniforms, they say, students are convinced that they are like one another. They believe they shouldn't be required to wear uniform so they can be themselves and save money.

             I don't agree. Kids are so judgmental, especially teenagers. They believe that if you don't have designers things, you are dirty. Most students don't like to have their peers see them in the same clothes twice. Some families cant afford to buy their kids new things every week. I also believe that you can make school uniforms your own. You don't have to be out of uniform to show your fashion since or personality. I believe you van still add style to school uniforms. From your hair, makeup, and even to your shoes. I don't think wearing school uniforms should hold you back from showing your personality. 

I think school uniforms should be required. Kids judge each other off of simple things such as clothes. I feel students are more comfortable wearing uniforms. I also that wearing uniforms is a way to save money, rather than having to buy new clothes very often. I also believe that you can show your personality with uniform. I think if you cant show your personality with uniform, you're just as simple minded as everyone else. I think wearing uniform can help you make the most out of your situation and adapt to it. For these reasons, I think uniform should be required.

Spending For My Party.!!!

  MY PARTY: FEBRUARY 22.!! 2 MONTHS 17 DAYS TO GO.!!!



If my parents was to give me $500 for something, I would spend it on my sweet 16. One of the most important days for a girl is the day she turns 16. It's the day she gets the most attention and gets more privileges from that day on. She wants that day to be big, special, and perfect. 

I Would spend my money on the decorations for my party. I don't want it to be last minute, so I would start getting the stuff now. My decorations are going to be cheetah print and that's not easy to find. i would have to order them. I would want to show them that I am responsible enough to get something handled for my party by myself.


I WOULD SPEND MY MONEY ON THE PARTY OF MY DREAMS!!!!!


Everything Is Better With Makeup....


EYELINER, EYE SHADOW, AND LIPSTICK, OH MY.!!!!!!!

Don't think of makeup as being insecure about yourself. Think of it as a enhancement to your beauty.!!

Just because you wear makeup, doesn't mean you're ugly. It means you care about yourself enough to make an improvement.

Plus, Makeup make you look 10 times better than you normally do.
ANDDDDDD, ALLLL CELBRITIES WEAR MAKEUP.!!!! ALL OF THEM.!

Even Beyonce and Candice Swanepoel (Victoria's Secret Model) wears makeup.!!!
EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH MAKEUP.!!!

Meagan Good VS. Lauren London

Megan Good vs. Lauren London                                                           



A lot of people debate over who is better. To me, it isn't just about looks. I feel that looks as well as talent.


  • Meagan Good is gawwwwwwwwgouusssss with any hairstyle or any outfit. 


  • Whereas Lauren London is only pretty with certain things.

  • Megan Good is a better Actress. She has starred in more movies than Lauren London and she acts more realistic in her movies. 

  • Lauren London doesn't act well. The only movie she is known for is ATL. She acts like she is reading from the script; she doesn't put any emotion in her acting.

Meagan Good is better than Lauren London because she is more gawwwgouuuusssss, can act better, and shes just amazeeeee!!!
