Some of you may think that this is another article about adults "trying" to understand kids, but this article is extremely accurate. It connects tome like no article has before. We do worry about everything at this age. Even if that one kid acts cool and chill about everything, they're really worried about their appearance and what they say or do. I know that's how I am. And there's nothing wrong with that. It's a stage we pass through. When i read this I remember all those people who constantly check themselves out. It's not because they're conceited, it's just that they're really insecure. (Except those fb girls, they're just conceited.) This article is the struggle for teens to find out who they really are. It's a struggle that we all overcome at some point, but for now, we all must face it together.

DA FLU.

This is an article about the flu that has been going around and has caused deaths.

105 kids have died so far. More than these don't need to die. 90% of them were not vaccinated. This article talks about the struggle that everyone faces. We can all die at any moment but we can choose to try and prevent a death. This is also the struggle of not being able to find a cure. Get your flu shot please, no one wants you or anyone to die.

Kill,----,Marry.

This is an article about girls that have two choices. Marry or die.

Most of us have this beautiful vision of our future. Marry our perfect match and have a great family. Some girls don't get the chance to live like that or imagine living like that. In Sudan, girls are forced to marry men that could be 50 years older than them just because their family wants some money.When the girls refuse, the parents simply beat them, sometimes to death. Who knows how many girls face this struggle because I doubt that this only happens in South Sudan. These parents have no heart.

Okay, so I'm going to be seeing this article with a different perspective. The article itself didn't contain much of a struggle. The article gave a brief summary of how Danielle Wagasky and her family have lived the last four years of their life. You see, her husband was in the military and thanks to the GI bill, they are given $14,000 a year. In 2008, after her husband was deployed, and after she started getting behind on the bills, she knew that something had to change. Her husband told her about a book and after reading it she changed a lot of things. Her kids are home schooled,go to the grocery store once a month, switched cable for Netflix and hulu, and she learned to cook so they wouldn't go out much. Overall they say that they live a happy life and don't feel like they're missing out on much. But, would you be able to do that? wave good bye to McDonald's every time you see it? i know for sure it'd be a struggle for me. It's got to be a struggle for them sometimes too. It's not easy to have a budget, just ask Justin Bieber who pays $750 for a haircut. This my friends, is the struggle of not knowing when or how to save money and thinking that it isn't possible. Danielle Wagasky does what most of us don't have the will to do.
