I'd go for proportional representation. Here in the UK we are governed by a party that got only 37% of the total votes cast (and only 34% of the potential votes). That means that almost twice as many people voted against them as for them. Yet, they claim a "popular mandate" for the policies they … Read more

Teenagers have been doing this since before you were even born!

A teen might do drugs or drink for many reasons. Someone in their family does it, peer pressure, bullying, problems at home, loneliness, etc..

Dating has many of the same reasons. Teens who live with one parent, and don't know the love of a mom … Read more

Because parents don't know how to parent these days....
Or because their positive influences are zero to none. They take after each other and are influenced by what's around them.  Just remember, you become what you behold. If you are seeing, hearing, hanging around things that bring you down and cause harm, your tendencies will lean … Read more

It's tough being a kid these days, most need a good hobby to keep them busy , and out of trouble. Parents should encourage this more, and take part in their child's activities.

I hate to break it to you, but this is what teenagers have been doing for generations. They are challenging their boundaries. Stay true to yourself and don't worry about what others do.

All Confederate flags, including the Confederate battle flag which is the topic of heated debates at this time, are symbols of the government of the Confederate States of America.  When you look at that flag you must remember why it exists.  Here are the words of the CSA vice president, Alexander Stephens, on the occasion … Read more

It's "bad" only to the extent the USA flag is "bad".

Many more terrible things are being done under the USA flag, than slavery.  How many people have been killed, maimed, and oppressed under the name of "Manifest Destiny"?

I understand.  The CSA no longer exists.  There is no discomfort blaming it for past wrongs and removing … Read more

No.  The flag is just a nice rectangle full of colors.  IT is an inanimate object, so I don't think it can be deemed "bad."  But the people who believe in what it stands for are immoral in that they believe that blacks, some of the nicest people I've ever known, are inferior to whites. … Read more

Satan convinces them that it will make them look cool, seem mature, fit in, or stand out.  He also convinces them that rumors of their health "benefits" are true.  Teenagers don't generally think; normally, they feel.  The connections between the emotional part and the rational part of their brain won't be fully developed until they … Read more

Repetition of concepts.  There are many concepts that can't really be hammered home without practice, like foundational mathematics.

Since teachers in our public school system are overburdened and underfunded, they don't get to spend as much time just practicing concepts as they would like- homework helps them gauge whether the kids have picked up the material … Read more
