Outdoors Or TV?
Words: 250 - Pages: 1.... kids are becoming more violent and committing crimes is
because, they sit in front of the stupid TV all day long. They don't spend

Being Young
Words: 612 - Pages: 3.... dominate the youth's everyday.
Perhaps the reason is that they feel insecure and think that the "right"
clothes will give them a feeling of being accepted by the group. This
phenomen has a negative side. What if a pupil can't afford to buy these
clothes? Will he or she be excluded from the gang? Some schools in various
countries have tried to solve this problem. They have introduced a rule
that allows pupils to go at school only if they are dressed in a specific

travesty. Government organizations, such as the FCC, routinely and systematically subjugate and suppress the freedoms that we have to express ourselves as guara .....
