Yes, I am proud of my country because we have more freedom then other countries do. We have something called freedom of speech. That means that if we have a different opinion about something we can speak our minds. Unlike other countries when if you speak your mind you could possibly be put into jail, which I think is terrible. Just because you think a different way doesn’t mean you need to be put into jail. I’m sure there are other people that think that way as well but just don’t have the guts to say anything about it.
Even though I am proud of my country there are also some things that I am not so proud of. Some of those things would be that because we as a country are in dept and can’t pay the people that work. So, those people had to get laid off. This isn’t a good thing because those people could have a family that they need to feed and have a stable home for. Another thing that I am not proud of would be that if we don’t have supplies that we need we have to barrow from other countries. If it weren’t for the law I’m sure we would be bombed right away because of how many things we need to barrow.

Bullying
How would you feel if you made someone feel bad about them self? I would feel terrible. But think about this, would you stop someone if they were making fun of a person? Would you be the bigger person or would you leave it to someone else? Would you really want to go to school the next day if you knew kids would just make fun of you? Well, bullying is something that kids shouldn’t need to worry about when they go to school. They should be able to go learn and have fun with their friends!
First, I know for a fact that I would never want to be bullied. That would just be a terrible thing. Most kids at our school don’t bully other kids because they know that is it wrong and that there is no point to it. In the end both people are going to get hurt, so why do kids even do it? I think that to stop bullying from happening from happening at our school we can stand up to the bully and tell a teacher. Some people fill out a bully report and then both people get talked to.
When you see kids bullying other kids it is usually because of their life at home. Maybe they do it because it makes them feel like the bigger person when they aren’t at home. Or sometimes the other reason might be that they are jealous of the person they are bullying. I personally could never see myself bullying someone. I would then think that I am being so mean and rude and I’m going to end up with no friends if I keep treating people like this.
Even though kids get bullied at my school, no one really knows about it. Because when kids fill out a bully report no one ever finds out really. Unless the people it involves tells you or other people. Do you think when you bully someone it makes you a bigger person? Well even thought it might seem like it at first, in the end it will make you the smaller person. Some people are more wise then others and realize right away that bullies have a low self esteem about their self.
So before you bully someone think about the highs and lows. You might have a different opinion about this but I believe that bullying is very wrong and everyone should stop from hurting other people. This is why I believe that bullying is wrong and people should be the bigger person and stand up to bullies. Show them who the bigger person is!

Why School Should Start Later
Author’s note: I strongly believe that school should start later for many types of reasons.
There are many explanations why school should start later but still end at 2:45pm. I know I’m not the only one that wants this. Many kids would think they could sleep in then, even though they still have school in the morning. That would be great! I know I would like it. But would you too?
First of all I think kids then wouldn’t be exhausted during their classes. If kids got more sleep during the night then they could be more interactive during class. The only terrible thing about this is kids might not go to bed at the same time. They might think of it as “oh school is starting later so now I can stay up later at night.” I know some kids already stay up late and you can tell when they do. They usually sit in class and stare, or rest their head on their arms and desk, and on rare occasion some kids might even fall asleep.
Secondly, kids would stay more focused rather than spacing out during class. Teachers can tell when kids are tired because they usually will just stare at the ground or out the window. Some teachers know students more than others do. So let’s say that I am a student that is always happy and loud and interactive in Social Studies. And I have a ton of homework and sports after school and I don’t get to bed until 11:00pm. I would be very tired since I wake up at 5:30am. My guess would be that I would be quiet and not interactive during class. Also, my teacher would notice that I’m not really into class.
Even though, students are in after school sports and clubs they would have more energy if they got more sleep. But then again that brings us back to not knowing what time kids would go to bed, saying that school would start later. Some kids have enough energy for after school sports but once Thursday and Friday come around I get really tired and it’s hard for me to focus. But that’s just me.
As you just read, there are many reasons why school should start later but end at the same time as it does now. I know that some people would think that school should just stay the way it is because then they would get to see their friends longer. But in my opinion I think that school should start later because once Friday comes around I am so tired I can usually barely stay awake in my classes. Consider it and think of how many more kids would be happy and more awake in their classes.

He's with Me
Author’s Note: This is an extended ending to the book “ He’s With Me” It also tells what the climax is and why.
After Jake told Lexie that he actually wants to date her instead of just pretend to date Lexie was in shock. She couldn’t believe that Jake would want to be with a girl like her. Lexie thought that she was ugly, shy, and fat “why would a guy date me, a girl like that?” Jake didn’t think Lexie was any of those things, the thought she was beautiful and everything that he ever wanted in a girl he would date.
Colin, Lexie’s brother even got a girl friend too. Her name is Sally. Every weekend they would go on double dates. It worked out quite well, even though going on a date with your brother would be a little weird. But since Lexie and her brother are twins they are very close with each other, and thought it was a great idea.
Over the next year or so Jake has to move. He tells Lexie and she is very unhappy and sad because she knows that she won’t be able to see Jake. Colin was even sad to because he was going to miss his best friend. The climax of the story is when Jake finds out that he has to move. The reason for this is because Jake really can’t do anything about it, and has to leave his friends, family, and even his girlfriend.
After Jake moves, he and Lexie keep a long term relationship. But in the end it didn’t work out. They couldn’t be together with actually not seeing each other. All they wanted to do is be together. So, they take a break from each other which weren’t easy for either of them. But in the end it paid off. Jake ended up moving back! He and Lexie got back together and continued their lives with each other.
