(I know the competition is over. But still, I wanted to take a chance to write on the topic of this prompt. I hope I can improvise a piece worthy to be read.)
We're all the same, are we not?
Humans, kids, children, people.
Beings who just want to be accepted. Who just want to be loved. Who want to be part of a community.
So why do you give me that look?
As if I do not belong.
As...

Change- its a word we all use, but its a word that means many different things in many different cases. To me, change is a chance to make this world a better place for the people living in it.
Coming up with something I wanted to change about the way society works in England today wasn't easy because I had so many things I wish I could change. But, after careful consideration, I came upon one idea that stuck out the...

I am at a point in my life where I'm able to fight for what I believe in. I'm able to stand up to others. I'm able to speak my mind, and share what I believe in. I can scream my beliefs to the sky, to the world, even into oblivion. I am at a point in my life where I can fight for Liberty. For equality. For world peace. I am at a point in my life where I...

This isn't about a feminist putting down men. This is a feminist speaking up for men and supporting them. I should add- fem·i·nism /ˈfeməˌnizəm/. Noun. The advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men. Note that nowhere in the official definition does it state "Women who loathe men and other women and who believe women are superior". Sorry about that- just want to clear things up. Anyways, now...

Let me introduce you to a girl we will call Nina. Nina is one of those girls that has close to a thousand friends on Facebook, ten thousand Instagram followers when she follows only ten people and she always puts new snaps, every single hour on the hour. Nina gets up at around five in the morning, when she goes to school at seven thirty. Why? Well, she has a little routine she has to uphold every single day. She...

One of the most decisive issues in society today is whether or not abortions should be permitted in the united states. Some are “Pro-Life”, which means they are against abortions, usually for the reason that it is morally wrong to end a life. Others can be “Pro-Choice”, which means they think the mother should be able to choose whether or not to have an abortion, because it is their child, and they are the ones that need to give birth...

For decades, parents have been hovering over their children and their freedom. Now these kids rebel, overuse social media, and disrespect their parents. These kids should be given enough freedom so that they aren’t on their phones every minute they are alone. Some reasons why parents should give their children a good amount of freedom is trust, kids are more likely to rebel if you don’t, and kids will be negative towards you.
For starters, trust is a big...

These college football players are pretty much are already being paid. They are getting full ride scholarships of about $40,000 a year. They are getting paid with an education worth $40,000 to play football at a specific college. There have been...

Since 2003 school districts have thought about random drug testing in schools. However not all schools have been in favor of this. Most students who do drugs don’t want to have this at their school because they think they will get in trouble. But the opposite could actually happen. They will have a chance to go to rehab and have a better life than they did when they did drugs.

Most of the public schools in the United States are letting homeschooled children play on their sport teams. But there are still some schools out there that believe that letting them play on their teams would be a problem. There are many reasons why I think we should let every single home-schooler participate in public school’s sports teams. For example, it will give the children a chance to make friends and meet new people. However, there are still some schools...
