Teens and Traffic

Last school year there was 27 students in Volusia County who got hit by a car from or to school in which two resulted as death. With only 10 days of school already five Volusia County students have been hit. We as adolescents believe that a car sees us when we cross the street whether is on foot or a bike. The truth is they really don't see you until you're an inch away from their car, their job as drivers is to be aware of pedestrians, however, we as pedestrians have to also be aware of cars. This is not a good way to start this school year, it's scary to wake up walk to school or even to the bus stop knowing that you can be hit by a car. People are always in a hurry sometime we just have to breath, calm down, and take is slow, students cross where they are not supposed to just to save up a little of time (maybe seconds) and get struck by a car, drivers forget all about school zones and drive fast without looking for pedestrians crossing and next thing they know they've hit a student. Whether you walk, ride your bike or drive to school, always be aware of what and who is around you.

Intro... We are teens

Hey guys! My name is Enid, I'm a junior, I'm sixteen and yes I'm a teenager. Let me tell you that we as teenagers share many weaknesses and fears. All my life all I've wanted to do is help others, many of my close friends come to me for help when ever they need something and I thought what better than to make a blog about some of the sort of things we go through daily. One of my favorite quotes is "Nobody can go back and start a new beginning but anyone can start today and create a new ending" by Maria Robinson and I believe this applies to us as teenager because we think that life is going to be easy, but as soon as we make a mistake the world falls on us and we're just done well no, it's true you can't go back and fix what you did but you can start today and fix how your story ends. We as teenagers go through many "tough" situations and in my opinion life is more than fair what makes it unfair is our actions and attitudes towards a situation in life. We as teens share so many emotions and experiences, we just don't know it because we keep everything to ourselves. I believe ones have more luck than others because they have the support or trust of family but others don't, many teens keep things to themselves thinking they are alone, thinking things only happen to them. It's not like that, just as children or babies do similar things at similar ages, teens do too but we just don't know it. Some believe they are alone. Whether you believe it or not just as there are many negative things that happen to teens, there are also many more positive things that we as teens go through we just don't see it because as soon as one bad thing happens we feel like we're done like we have a miserable life. Like we are WORTHLESS! but we're not, we just need someone to be there and guide us in the right direction once again and that's what this is all about.
