Whats Wrong with America?
I just don't get it. Am I the only person that does things the right way or the considerate way? Am I the only person that follows the rules and has great respect for people? Am I the only one that sees the problems we have in America?

Do you always hear about how schools aren't  doing much for the students to be successful? How come there aren't any rules enforced in schools, especially black schools? I hate to criticize my own race but its mostly the black people that got to mess things up. Black people don't want to help each other anymore. They always got to hate on what you got.  When you walk into a black school, most likely, that school would NOT be a great school to go to. In black schools, there are always students cussing teachers out, fights everyday, gangs. Parents want to come up to the school and cuss the teachers out because their child doesn't do their work. Most black parents have excuses for their children for not turning in their assignments on time instead of taking action to help their child do better in school. The problem with America and most of these schools is that their aren't any rules being enforced, thats why students go out of control. There aren't any real consequences.

And another thing, did you hear about this teen that tried to post a fight he videotaped on youtubed? Did you hear that a 10 yr old and a 11 yr old broke this 10 yr old's arm? Do you know how hard it is or what you have to do to break someone's arm? Are there any violence in the homes for those kids to think its ok to do that? Whats wrong with parents today? Its like the parents aren't doing anything about their child's behavior. People have so much pride now a days that they don't want to improve on themselves and be better people.

And another thing, what happened to having compassion for people? People don't care for each other anymore. There are high crime rates, because the rules aren't being enforced. America needs to be like other countries and actually enforce the laws and these places needs to enforced rules.

I agree with so much of wht yo observe and say... It's as harsh out there as it ever was I believe. There is a turning tide in America but it hasn't turned fully yet.., we are in flux. But there is a core of people who still do the right things, still stand up for whats wrong and terribly unfair. Still care about themselves and others... you and me? we were raised decently, so many just have never seen or experienced decent. I don't take that as a rational excuse. Because any body who wants to can change it's requires effort though so I guess, it's not attractive enough.

I wish I were your age Plakola, what I couldn't do! Sweetie, what would you do to change things if you could? Really, I am asking, what do you think would make a difference in schools?
I am amazed that people are allowed to leave school without a means to make a living. The 'carrot' of college is not for everyone. We all have to...
1.eat
2.pay rent
3.pay utilities
4.clothe, transport, and educate, entertain, sustain, ourselves.

NONE of which is taught in high school, rich or poor.

I agree with you. The world is so totally messed up. People don't care about themselves or anyone else. I wish I knew the answer.
