My Weekend Plans

Today me, John, his sister, and her boyfriend are going to hang out. Then Saturday we are going to a dance. Then Sunday I'm going to go home to sleep. If it snows then we are still going to hang out and dance.

An Angry Time

I was watching my niece for my sister almost everyday. I was supposed to get 120 dollars every other week from my sister and her boyfriend, but they always paid me late. A couple times they didn't even pay me. I got really mad and yelled at them until they finally paid me. My sister still owes me like 5 dollars though. Everytime my sister has money, I ask her for the 5 dollars that she owes me, but she never pays me. I'm happy that they finally paid me most of it.

Circle Justice

Circle sentencing was also born in Canada, as a result of the efforts of a growing number of judges to counteract the futility of the current sentencing process, and to respect in Native communities the traditional aboriginal method of dealing with members of the community who broke the law. It begins with an offender pleading guilty in court and agreeing to accept a community-imposed sentence. Experts say Minnesota is the first state in the nation to use circle sentencing.

Where I Grew Up

I grew up in Amity, Oregon. It's a really small town, so it's about 5 blocks long. There was only 3 schools and 1 park. Since it was so small everyone knew everyone. There was a big field right across the street from my house, and when we had nothing to do we would gather up a whole bunch of people, and play football, or tag. On rainy days we would go to the high school, and there would be big puddles in the field, and we would jump in them.

Sleeping Facts For Teens

Most teens need about 8½ to more than 9 hours of sleep each night.
If you dont get enough sleep it can impact everything from a person's ability to pay attention in class to his or her mood. Research shows that more than 20% of high school students fall asleep in class, and experts have been able to tie lost sleep to poorer grades. Lack of sleep also damages teens' ability to do their best in athletics.
