If I could change the world I would get rid of plastic guns, drugs, and liars.

      To start with, I chose this because I feel that when children or teens buy that thing it’s not going to do nothing but teach them bad habits. I also think that parents should go on an strike because that one little toy gun would get you child in a lot of trouble okay it’s okay to play around with a toy gun but some kids takes it to another level. They take it from playing with a toy gun to buying a real gun and them buying a real gun they gone end up going to jail so that’s why I think they should eliminate toy guns.

       Next, I think that they should also eliminate MOST drugs because drugs can bring you a whole lot of hurt. If one of your family members are using drugs it’s going to have a huge impact in you because you love that person and you don’t want to see them loose their innocent life over crack, heroin, or crystal meth. I once was put into a position and I didn’t like it. My auntie was using crack and I didn’t even know it we were so close and I love here with all my heart but I just hate to see her using something that she can’t stop using and truthfully and honestly its going to be one day that her immune system is going to shut down and there’s going to be no hope. I think that when you use crack you might as well say you messed your whole entire life up. I think that because you get addicted to it and its going to be hard to stop and then you become homeless, or you lose your job and your family might not want to help you. They probably want you to learn the hard way cause they not gone always be their, or have you back when you need them. Also, in the future, it’s going to be hard to get back on your feet ; like getting a home to lay your head or a job to your bills.

The last thing I would eliminate is liars.  I think that to be a liar is the worst thing you would want to be. I feel that if you gone lie, lie about something that people would not know you’re your are lien. I’m not going to say that I hate liars because HATE is a strong word and may hurt people feelings but I think that people should not lie cause its not good at all and take this advice never lie.

            In conclusion, I chose these main things because these are the main things that are hurting people and they should just be eliminated  and we should act like it never exist.

If I could change the world I would get rid of is bullies, rapist/child abusers, and also homeless people. If we could get rid of these three things this world would become slightly better. Here are some reasons why:

First, I would take away bullies because they just pick on people for no reason. Why would you do that to someone that didn’t do anything to you? Now if someone else did something to you, I would understand why you may want to react. But just to pick on someone without a reason is pointless and I disagree with bullying.

Next, I would get rid of rapists and child abusers because you are forcing children to have sex with you, and you know they don’t want to have sex with you. Also, child abusers because that’s not fair to beat a child that you know can’t control what you do, and they can’t do anything back.

Finally, the last thing I would eliminate is  homeless people because you don’t want to wake up and see a homeless person sleeping in the alley, asking for change, or even might try to break your house. A person should have some type of shelter over them because to me that’s not right just to see some one suffering on the street because of a bad decision. Every homelesss should have a home/shelter over their head, so they won't be homeless.

 In conclusion, this world would get better if we could get rid of rapists to save the children. We need to get rid of homeless people so we can see a richer (not money wise) town/country where everyone is happy. we need to get rid of bullies too  because some people kill themselves because people pick on them so bad to a point they can’t take it anymore.

 If I could change the world I would get rid of gangs, problems, and pin.

First,  I would get rid of gangs because people die because of them. People get killed in driveby shooting. Gang members use drugs and go shooting and killing people. I  lost one of a loved one and a family member. Gangs use money to get them drugs or steal money  too. People are afraid to go out wihtout a friend because you know they will try to jump you and steal something so that's why getting rid of gangs is a good idea.

The second thing that I would change is problems. Everyone has problems and without them this world would be less crazy. Homework, video games, and  hard problems should not exist. Things need to be easier because sometimes life feels too hard.

Now the third thing that I would get rid of is pain. Because if we did not feel pain people would  will be much happier.  I want there to be a world where people will not feel pain like emotional pain or physical pain. Like for example,  one of my friends died in a car accident when he became a father. This made  me sad for about  two months and I keep a picture of him.  I would get rid of pain because I don't know anyone who likes the feeling of it.

These are the  problems in the world. I wish we could end all gangs, problem, and pain for those people. People would be happy  all over the world. There would be peace with no pain. Family will be happy to see peace in the streets without any problems. No gangs, no pain, and no problems forever is my dream for us all.

Three Things I Would Change

Theirs Three Things in the World that I would change, and the first thing I would change is racism. If you’re reading this, you might be thinking why would I change racism? Well I would change it because all my life I’ve been observing other people to see how equal they think their race is. But at this point I’ve learned to live with it because theirs people in this world that hate people because their skin color isn’t the same as theirs. For a fact, I know that every race acts different. I think white people, black people, Mexican people and other races don’t fight because of their different background and lifestyle. It’s because of the way we act today. Well I don’t have any race problems cause my brother like friends are black and Mexican and their names are Corey Lofton and Andrew Lopez.

               Another Thing I would Change in the world are Gangs, Now I know that gangs involve racism because basically  Kings are Mexican, Gds are mostly black and triple deuces are all white. I believe that all Gang Bangers aren’t nothing compared to the Brothers back in the day, and the brothers of this time are fighting over territory and Respect. This Is My Own Opinion about gangs because I’m not in a gang but I grew up with them.

                 The Last Thing I would change is the Hammond high school lunch because it is the nastiest crap you can eat. The meat on the cheese burgers taste like rubber, and the milk taste spoiled, also about three weeks ago I got a cheeseburger and it had strips of someone’s hair in it. Well I hoped you enjoyed reading about the three things I would change in the world.

If I could change the world I would get rid of is guns, feelings, and homework. My list might look kind of weird , but this is only my own personal opinion. If I could change the world these are the reason why.

First of all, gun’s would be the first thing I would get rid of because if it wasn’t for guns my cousin Philip would still be alive and be able to be in his child’s life. As my cousin grew up he and most of all my family member’s were in a gang (males) only, but as he grew up he got his self  out of the gang. He gave up his gang banging life because he knew it wasn’t for him. He had a baby girl on the way so he didn’t want all this mess to affect  his family or his new born child’s life. He came to Illinois on the fourth of July to see his baby mama and his new born child.  He wasn’t staying here, he was going back to Iowa to his aunt's house, where he ended up in a shooting. Even though they say the bullets were for his friend in the driving seat they both got killed with guns. Now a beautiful little child is going to grow up without knowing her father. This is my main reason why I would get rid of guns.  

 After that, I would get rid of feelings because everybody with feelings get depressed over a lot of things. Without feelings most people won’t be in the type of situation they are in now. People  get depressed over feelings most of time end up in a hospital from having a lot of stress or being depressed. My opinion is feeling should only come if something terribly bad happens or if they fall in love with somebody. Having stress or depression is not good and it will cause serious pain to you.     

The last thing I would eliminate is homework. My reason I would get rid of  homework is that us students already spend eight hours in school. By putting extra homework on students after school is tiring. After school kids and teens would like to spend their time and mind off of school and homework. We understand homework is good for our help in school  but its just too much to handle. Most principles, teachers, and other school staff wonder why a large percentage of students dropout. Homework is most defiantly a reason I would get rid of it for  students' sake.

In conclusion, these are the reasons why I would get rid of these three things on my list. My list might sound weird to many different people but everybody like me as an example has there own opinions. So if I could change the world these are my main three major things I would get rid of.

Jeremy Robinson

If I could change 3 things in

The World

The three things I would change in the world is (1) raciest people (2) the way people  judge others (3) Hammond high

The first reason why I would change raciest people because I feel like they hate other race’s because they stupid or it’s the way they grow up around raciest people. Also a lot people died because of raciest people

Next I want to change how other people judge people because the way they look I hate that. The reason I want to change it because when people look at me they think am a D boy because I got corn rows and jobs they think am bad and stuff that’s just not fair at all I feel like people should get to know them first.

My last thing I want to change is Hammond high my reason because this school need help . The teacher don’t know how to teach, the staff don’t know what their doing, there’s to many police in the school. Its bugs in the school, it’s too many testes, all they care about the school uniform, this school just messed up

If I could change the world I would get rid of Guns, Drug, and Gangs.

To start with, I would get rid of guns for the reason that I lived a life around people full of guns and seen too many deaths committed with a gun. All over the world from any age people get kill for arguments or fights and then end up killed by a weapon.  I know by experience of that, which I saw my best home boy get killed in front of me at a corner store in Chicago, later on growing up at a night walking to my house some unknown persons chased and shot at me.  I thought I was about to die, but I ran away from a bullet but was hit on the leg. I was lucky, but those who weren’t got killed by a gun violently. A gun could never solve anything just caused pain and have lost a lot of family members and loved one.

Next, I would get rid of drugs. For the reason that most people who try it get addicted to it and would have a urge to steal and give pleasure for money and for drugs , From existence the world was at peace and now it seems that  it's at war with itself . As humans we choose a bad side to drugs . Now drugs are what they live and die for. A dope dealer sees addicts happy for the money but in real life I would be happy to see my friends be healthy again with out drugs in there mind. That’s why I would get rid of drugs to have everyone be healthy without any jobs being affected by it or anyone being killed for drugs.

The last thing I would eliminate is gangs. Why? Well because all around the cities there are neighborhoods made into gang areas. Places where gangs can be a family to kids like me. As all know, I am a former gang member and my decision to be in it was for a place to belong and to have a family. Most young teens  have problems and feel rejected and some always are at the street and have no where to go. With open arms the hood will accept you, but blindfolded we are the ones who hurt each other more by killing one of a other for colors. We are smart and we are the next generation of teenagers who can make it big. To be successful as doctors, police officer something that its positive, just something that will make you live to the fullest as to pursue your dreams and hopes. Gangs will only get people, kids, and innocent’s people kill in the streets and end up in jail or dead for something that never belongs to us, A home called hood. That’s the last thing I would get rid of to make the world a better place.

In the end, there would be more possibilities. A lot of people would still be alive and that most of the lost would still be happy enjoying what is beautiful in life. Some people get second chances and some only have one life to live. Life is a video game. We only got one life and at any moment we have to decide how we play it. We can end it depending how us our self play with our own life as our life is on our hand. Most people don’t live a good life and have a lot reason to get in drugs gangs or to be in position of guns but to every door closed there’s a window open with opportunities. Life is joy to be still alive to breath feel and see what we got that still makes us live as everyday we step up we get strong overtime we fall  but we get up and still fight for a great day. With out drugs and guns and gangs life would be a better way to live and to still be alive to see our love ones again . That would be a world I would one day want to live.
