1) i guess my mom or somebody famous
2) lol im not in school i basically droped out for like a month but i will be back later this week, nothing is really motivating me to stay in but friends even though im going to a new school and probably never seeing them again =/
3) idk
4) teens
5) idk lol i have death with hard things idk which would be the hardest
6) i don’t care really i’ll drink when i want to
7) say the same, if u lower it every one will get drunk and drive and die lmao if u raise it every one will be pissed
8) you should make it at least 18, i cant imagine driving i would crash and kill every one in the car lol
9) i have had like 3 friends get pregnant and have the baby and 2 get an abortion, i say use a condom every time and if u r pregnant and don’t want the baby have an abortion because i hear too much stories about adopted kids that try to find their parents and then they blame them for everything wrong in their life
10) pro choice
11) i think that if ppl want to have sex outside of marriage its okay, its really their choice. but i kno i wont wait until marriage
12) gays should have just as many rights as straight ppl do, all because they are gay doesn’t mean that they should get treated differently from straight ppl
that’s just my opinion

1) who are your models and why?
Andy Warhol- Because hes amazing.
Christina Aguilara- Shes hot and shes an amazing role model for girls.
My Mom- Shes the most amazing woman EVER!
2) what or who is your motivation to be still in school?
My future.
3) what is your goal in life?
Move away from here.
4)What do you think is the age of an adolescent?
15-19
5) what is the hardest thing you have encountered?
My fathers death or watching drugs pull his soul out of his body.
6) what do you believe about the drinking age?
I think its rediculous. If an 18 year old is old enough to be killed in war they are old enough to have a beer.
7) should the drinking age be lowered, raised or stayed the same and why?
lowered, i think it would become less of a problem if it was legal.
8) how about the driving age?
i like how it is.
9) what is your view on teen pregnancy?
i think its okay if you handle it the right way but i think its giving up on your whole life.
10) what is your view on abortion?
I’m very very pro-choice. i think that if a baby is unwanted enough for the mother to DECIDE herself that she wants an abortion it shouldn’t be born and be like.. regreted. i would rather see a woman go to an abortion clinic and have it done respectably than shoving a clothes hanger.. you know or finding a baby in a dumpster.
11) what is your view on sex outside of marriage?
i think it causes mental issues in a way but i think it shouldn’t be looked down upon as bad because its natural… and wonderful honestly.
12) what about gay rights? is it or isn’t it ok for people of the same sex to get legally married?
I think its perfectly fine. Love is love and its nobody elses business. If you don’t want to see it keep your eyes closed because personally i believe thats basically what a homophobe has to be doing 24/7.

Hi! I’m an 18-year-old girl (I wasn’t sure it I qualify for this, sorry if I’m too old).
1. My family and my extended family (especially my Grandma) are my models because I’ve always been close to them and I want to be like them.
2. Well, I kind of like learning… I also want to get a good job (lame reason for still being in school, I know).
3. I want to write for a living (still not exactly sure). Also when I get my own house I want a room with huge bookshelves that cover the walls and comfy chairs and a fireplace for reading (this falls more under the lines of a silly fantasy though).
4. 12-18-ish. Maybe?
5. I’ve worn hearing aids since I was 3. I used to be wicked self-conscious of them, but it’s all cool now.
6. I think it should be lowered.
7. It should be lowered to 18. I live in America, and here you can vote, fight in wars, and gamble at 18, it’s silly to have the drinking age 21. I also think that if the drinking age is introduced at a younger age, people will be less likely to abuse it and less likely to drink just for the sake of rebelling.
8. The driving age is fine, sometimes I think it should be raised. Or at least people should be required to re-take their driving test (like you do when your 16) every few years instead of just retaking the sight test.
9. Well it’s obviously not the favorable way to go, but sometimes things just happen and you can’t do anything about them.
10. I personally disagree with abortion unless having the baby will damage the mother (more than the average birth pains). Though it is ultimately up to the people getting the abortion, and I wouldn’t rag on anyone who had an abortion.
11. If you think it’s okay and you’re responsible, then go ahead. Though I think anything under 16-ish is pushing it and kind of naive and childish.
12. I completely support gay marriage and gay rights. I am of the opinion that it is not my place to judge someone based on something as insignificant as their sexual orientation. (Be aware that I have a biased opinion of this topic as several of my friends are gay.)

1: my grandfather. he died when i was 9, but the lessons he taught me have kept me safe all these years. he was full blood cherokee.
2: all higher learning does is prove you’re able to learn. i’m in school because i like learning new and advanced things.
3: financial stability and a wife and some kids. the american dream, if such an illusion could exist.
4: between 16 and 24, imo. young adults who need structure and some freedom to make their own mistakes.
5: my grandfather died when i was young. and my mom had an abusive husband.
6, 7: the drinking age should be lowered. or maybe an exemption for people with a military id. it’s hypocritical to die for our country and not be allow to consume.
8: the drivers license system should be overhauled for a ‘graduated’ one. too many kids thinking they’re hot stuff and driving recklessly. they’re a danger on the road, and something has to change.
9: have some self respect. and abstinence only education does not work. the first step to responsibility is honesty when raising our kids.
10: a hard decision to make. it’s traumatic enough without being judged by strangers.
11:it happens. take steps to protect yourself. another byproduct of abstinence only education, imo.
12:if you’re not gay, it’s none of your business. hypocrisy sickens me.
