On a public death like the deaths on 9/11 I would feel sadness more then anger. I would feel sadness because a lot of people in the country died in that day. I also would feel some anger towards the group that killed the people. I would feel more sadness though then anger because I would feel bad for the people who died families and there great friends who loved them very much. On the anger side of me I would want to start a war with the country or group that killed all of the people. On the sadness part I would have sympathy towards the people who lost loved ones and the great friends of the people who died. I hope nothing happens to any of our students at Central valley because I would super sad. I feel bad for Keisha and all the people at Hazelwood High school. 

“Dear Lord�

    My friends wanted to go to the North Loup River, without asking permission from the adults. My cousin Abbie just turned sixteen and got her license. She wanted to go to the river and blast music, eat food, and of course, play in the river. She asked me if I wanted to come and I said yes, without hesitation. My cousin, and my friend Aubry, and I went to the river and did what we said we were going to do. We had the best time. I thought about it after we got to the river, Did Abbie ask her mom is we could go to the river. I asked her and she said no. I starting saying what if shes looking for us? Abbie then said that she was sixteen and basically an adult. So, I never put anything past her we continued playing and having fun. We later went back and her mother was home and the first thing she asked was were have we been. 

If a public tragedy would happen I would most likely show it with sadness because there would be no need for me to show it with anger because that would only make it worse. If you get angry the only outcome that would happen would be that it would get worse. If something like public would happen it wouldn’t only devastate me, it would devastate the whole community. So because of that reason I find no need to get angry about it. I would probably get angry a little bit but if I did get angry I would keep it only to myself. Nobody needs to see me take out my anger and I don’t think I need to take it out. I think I would and should just keep it to myself. Hopefully nothing in our public will be tragic so that I don’t have to worry about it. 

Last year during hunting season Kord and Rico went with me coon hunting. We knew we needed to get to the place we were going to hunt at and a way to get back so I thought I would just drive since I wanted to go hunting with them. So I packed everything, Guns, ammo, spotlights, and warm clothing. When I left it was only 3 miles from my house do it wasn’t very far. When I went out there it was like 11 and the coons were just getting out. I met Kord and Rico out there and we started walking along the cornfield and treeline. Immediately we saw two racoon in the tree I shot one and the other one got on the ground and started running. Rico and Kord chased that one into a different tree and got him. So right away we got two coons. We left the raccoon in the cornfield and kept walking. It was a while before we found anything but finally I spotted something’s eyes. I couldn’t tell what it was but I just chased it. Once I got close enough to see what it was, it was already too late. I got sprayed by a SKUNK! It was so nasty and we decided to leave. After that I had to ride all the way home in my truck and my truck still smells like skunk. 

I think kids do it to think they are cool. It is illegal for a reason and kids think they are being cool and funny doing it while its illegal. Cops need to be more strict and keep an eye on smaller communities because it seems like that's where and when it happens the most. Also we might do it for the effect it leaves on us for that short period of time. Some people drink to get drunk because they like that feeling of not really being in control. People do drugs to get high and make them feel nothing. Smoking is just gross I don't know why people smoke. We know the harmful effects it leaves on us in the long run but yet we still continue to do it?

  Honestly I've never really tried to be with a group of friends I'm always apart of group people want to be in. I guess it just come natural to make friends. It also helps that we are in a small school/town so everyone has known everyone since they were young. When you are in those friendship that are close you can give a honest opinion, now they might be mad at you but they'll respect your honesty and think about it. So that helps and when you get older it's kind of all you have is a couple of friends that will always be there. Some will come and go but there will always be a couple that will stick with you till the end. 

 

I guess you could probably deal both ways. If someone you knew was in the tragedy then you could defintly be both. You could be sad that it happened to them but sadness isn't going to solve anything. If you were mad about the situation then it would be a little easier to deal with. If it were me id be sad for a little bit but then anger would set in. 

"Dear Lord" 

 

I think the reason we still do things that are more likely to end in disaster or death is because we are teenagers and sometimes we do not think about the things we do. We do not think about the consequences that may happen for when we do certain things like drinking and driving, using drugs, or smoking. We think we are invincible and that kind of thing will never happen to us but it could like getting in an accident or getting cancer. Even adults do the same thing it is not just teenagers. Adults may know what consequences are but still do things like speeding or driving under the influence of alcohol. We are human and we do make mistakes. If we can tell people that we are not invincible and bad stuff CAN happen to us it may raise awareness but it’s not likely because they think that it will never happen to them.
