You might think Until I
i’m just a short become tired
14 year old and show
high school freshman no sparkling
But I am much emotion
more than you I take a chance
would expect to let
not a single someone else
flower petal express their
not a grain of sand own emotion
A stick of dynamite

If i am annoyed Then I show
or agitated my feelings
When I go into again
another room again
and bicker and again
I am a stick
of dynamite The short
newly sparked 14 year old
and lit 9th grader
Tempers flaring Packaged small
my angry on the outside
thoughts exploding but full of
exotic emotions
But when I waiting to be into my sparked and
original lit again
petite packing
Then I can
rain in my
frustration and
the next time
explode with
happiness
excitement
and joy

“Fear is just a reason to try harder.” -Lindsay Sills. This is true but sometimes fear is uncontrollable and can have a major impact on someone’s life. Fear can have an impact on people’s life whether it is a small fear such as spiders or clowns or a big fear like being kidnapped or afraid of people in general. Fear can affect peoples lives by causing paranoia or anxiety issues.
Fear can cause paranoia in someone’s life by them being afraid of something so much it changes them as a person. For example, if a woman was kidnapped and not rescued until six months later, she may become paranoid of it happening agin. This could cause her to lock down her house and “push away” her loved ones, majorly affecting her life. In addition, even though the paranoia may be based on something less serious, like a fear of the dark, it is still, nonetheless, real to the fearful. If a six year old boy in first grade is afraid of the dark, he may not get any sleep at night, affecting his next day at school. Paranoia, or always being afraid, can affect someone’s life whether it is in a big or small situation.
Fear can cause anxiety issues because fear can be majorly stressful, almost to the point of health issues. For example, if a girl who has anxiety attacks forgets to tell her best friend happy birthday, she may become afraid her best friend won’t like her anymore and have an attack. People with anxiety issues usually think of the worst thing that could happen and become majorly afraid of the entire situation. In addition, if a woman receives a call that a loved one has passed away, she may have an emotional breakdown by fear of change to her life. Anxiety is an emotional breakdown of fear.
Therefore, fear can affect people’s lives by causing major emotional stress that can be endangering health and if not treated can lead to extreme cases of depression.

As Kelsi was running her 3rd lap at track practice, she felt a few buzzes in her pocket. She answered the shaking cell phone once she realized it was her mother. Kelsey’s mother calmly stated that there was a family emergency and that she would be leaving early. If, Kelsi did not have a cell phone she would not know about her leaving early. Cell phones can affect people’s lives by changing how people communicate with others socially and have helpful apps/tools.
Cell phones can help or hurt anyone’s social life and communication skills. For example, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and texting, can help a teenager who recently moved to keep up with her friends by checking their pages or talking to them through text. Using a cell phone for these social media sites and texting can help her communicate easier and conveniently with her friends from home. In addition, although it can help it can also hurt a person’s communication skills. If two cousins were shopping and one of them was constantly walking and texting, this could affect the relationship with the cousins and they wouldn’t be communicating properly and having fun together.
Cell phones can also affect people’s lives by being a helpful tool. For example, if two 12 year old kids were riding their bikes and got lost, they could simply use a GPS app to find their way home. This could affect their chances of getting home safely and not becoming severely injured. In addition, a cell phone can affect our everyday lives, even ifit doesn’t make that big of a difference. If an adult was going to go mountain biking in the morning, they can use their phone to check the weather. Whether it be big or small, cell phones can affect someone and be helpful in any way.
A cellphone can be useful or helpful in a person’s’ life. But cell phones are also a big responsibility so they are also capable of teaching humans how to be responsible. Therefore, cell phones can definitely affect a humans’ life no matter how big or small the situation is.

In life, money can be hard to come by. Most jobs require at least a high school
diploma, but some people start working with major jobs at a young age. This and frustration can lead to teens becoming high school dropouts. Some people drop out of high school if they have a family at a young age, or self-confidence issues.
Some students may drop out of high school if they have a young family to provide
for in the future. For some men and women, love comes at a young age with a plan for a long future life together. Sometimes, the young man and woman may drop out together to be with each other. For example, if a student proposes to a girl he has loved for years, but they are
only seniors, he might drop out of school to work as many hours as possible to provide for her.
In addition, if the young couple start a family, they will both need jobs, so his now wife may drop out during her last half of senior year also. Therefore, students may drop out of school if they have something or someone to provide for.
In addition, some students may drop out of high school if they have confidence issues.
For example, if a young man who isn’t very intelligent always puts himself down for it, he may make a major decision and drop out of school because of his self-given flaws. Self-confidence issues can also mean a student thinking too highly of themselves. If a student is high up in the “social rating,” they could become sort-of cocky and think they are too good to be in school
and dropout.
Therefore, some students may drop out of school to plan and start a future with a family
to provide for, if they think they’re not smart enough, cool enough, or strong enough, or they simply believe they are “too cool for school.”
