the power over what their children watch. Because of
this, many scientists recommend a number of things
that parents can do. Reduce the amount of hours of
TV that your children watch, watch at least one

Qualified teachers instruct students during their
education. Sometimes, there are teachers that do not
meet the teaching standards. In this case, the
parents should voice the problem to the school
authorities as there is a better chance of finding a
solution. Parents' spending quality time makes a
difference in a child's attitude. Children learn
from their parents' morals, values, and boundaries
that they will use throughout their life. A parent
must be able to communicate and be an active
listener with the child. This kind of support will
help the child and the parents feel secure in their
relationship. As a result, they will be able to work
out any problem together such as the child having a
difficult school project or a conflict with another
student.

The media does not go around reporting all of the
good things athletes do, just the bad things and
their mistakes. They are only human just like the
rest of us. Are these people safe for our children
to idolize to look up to? I think that the answer is
yes! If you were watching the news, would you really
want to hear about all of the charities which an
athlete has donated money to? It would be
interesting at first, but you would get tired of it
afterwards. That is why the media never covers
anything like this. We all know that they really
don't care about anything else apart from a hot
topic.

The air does get a bit warmer after the middle of
March. But it is always covered in dampness that no
furnace in the world can hope to dry. Of course the
season fools us by granting one or two nice days so
we can get out and proclaim that winter finally
left. The following day brings the beginning of at
least two or three weeks of sub-freezing weather.
Even after the temperature reaches the freezing
mark, that sluggish low pressure over the Bay of

days.

Not nearly as many teens would have guns if they
didn't get the money from selling drugs. So if we
can stop the selling of drugs, less people will have
money to buy guns and there will be less violence.
We can at the same time blame our parents for
violence. When parents buy a gun and put it away,
their kids could get hold of it and bring it to
school. This is why parents ought to lock away their
weapons not just stick it in a drawer or on the top
shelf of a closet.

scarcely have guns ..........

Generally speaking, people hate war, and want to
avoid it at all costs. It is believed that a large
