I would like to talk about something important and that is the family. A lot of people work 1 or 2 jobs just to pay the rent, the mortgage, food, clothing and other basic things. We all know that the minimum wage is not enough to cover all the expenses that a family might have. Knowing this problem, the government decides to waste money on other things, and they also keep raising taxes. Even though parents do a lot to survive these hard times, they are leaving their kids husbands or wives unattended. Some kids get dropped off in daycare and others go to school. Some kids go strait home after school. However, other kids stay a long time outside because they know that their parents will probably not come back until 9 PM or later. Those parents that come early from work pick up their kids from daycare if they have any in such a program, and they go strait home to sleep. In the meantime, the older kids are on the computer or in front of a television and most of the time; it is not for educational purposes. Others are getting introduced to things like sex, drugs, and being in gangs. Some if not most parents, do not play with their kids because they are too tired and if the kids want to talk to them, or simply give them a hug or kiss, they tell them to go away. There are some moms who don't like or want to kook or clean, and the dad has to do both things. It is very sad to say but this was caused by the feminist movement who told men they were not going to do whatever they wanted. I remember one morning when I was in an elevator on my way to one of my classes, and I heard a woman telling a man that she did not like to kook. The man also said that his wife did not like to kook and as I herd this, I thought to my self, “I hope I don't get a woman like that.” I was uncomfortable hearing this. But I am even more uncomfortable when I hear kids talking about another problem that is corrupting our country and that is sex. These kids are doing this in school when they don't even know what this is. Most people have sex with out love, and they think that if they don't do this, they are not going to be compatible on other things. In the first or second week that people meat, they begin to have sex or they start using drugs because of pier pressure. When a month goes by, they start living together not after they have a big argument with their parents because they think they are better than their parents. I know that it is very common to live together with a person without marrying that person. They see it as test driving a car and if they don't like the person, they could leave. In able for a relationship to work out, you have to spend more time asking questions about the other person and see if that person agrees or disagrees on the things that you believe. Watch how that person behaves with other people, and don't take him or her to expensive places. Some parents think that teachers should have the job to educate their kids about sex and drugs. However, teachers don't tell kids about the deeper issues of these two problems. Unfortunately, Because of these things, kids learn to be violent and they also learn about sexual education and drugs the wrong way. Think about it. What would you do if you don’t get what you want? It is likely that you will become violent. Some internet sites, radio shows, songs, TV shows, and video games have things relating to sexual activity or drugs. Unfortunately, these things do not tell kids the bad side effects. Parents don't put too much attention on what their kids are watching or hearing and that is another reason why kids tern out to be violent. If parents took time to talk or play with their kids, and watch TV with them, they wouldn't be the way they are now. Parents don't talk to their kids about the consequences of their actions and what could happen if they abuse things. Parents should start educating their kids about sex, drugs and violence when they are young. Also, they should tell them what is good or bad so when they get older, they will know what and what not to do. Because of the misinformation that kids get from their friends about sex ed, they start having it at a young age.
People have now gotten pregnant as early as 14 to 25 because they did not know how to control them selves. Remember in the early 80's when aids was something that nobody knew about? People started getting this by going to bath houses witch are places that allows people to fornicate with whomever they want. The same thing is happening with young people. They have sexual relations with multiple partners, and they get STD'S. However, they don't know how they got it. Many girls, who are going to high school or college, drop out because they need a job to support their kid. Others do it because of financial problems or because they did not wanted such a responsibility. They decided to have an abortion. The common side effects of abortion are Infertility, Cervical Laceration, and Uncontrollable blood clotting, severe hemorrhage, Seizures, Coma, Cancer, and Death. Unfortunately, women do not know this because doctors don't have to tell them these things. I believe that some doctors may say that to themselves. Other women have abortions because they were abused but even that is not an excuse to do that. The government should give money to the women so they could get more help.
I believe another thing that Leeds to a bad family is domestic violence. This includes physical, verbal, and sexual abuse. When children see this type of behavior, they grow to be even more violent than the parent that was doing this. This is how a cycle starts, and women who have kids, stay in the relationships because they think that if the man leaves nobody will be there for her or for her kids. This can also lead to a person using drugs because there is so much drama in their lives that they use the drugs to escape from reality. What these people don't know, is that when they try to stop, it is going to be too late because they are going to be addicted to the drug.

The family

Budget crisis
We go through the same thing in California every year. It always takes a long time to pass a budget. We are in at least three weeks behind. It is scary to think that people will be going back to school, and there is no money. I heard on the news that kids will be spending not as much for there school supplies. This means that they will have to use their old school books, they will wear the same clothes, and they will have to use the same writing materials in this upcoming school year. However, California should not be the only won at fault, but The US as a whole. So now, we have two problems. I believe that we should not be hearing the same thing over and over from the politicians. Republicans don’t want to raze taxes, but the democrats do. Someone must give up. If we don’t raze taxes, what can we do to reduce the deficit? On the other hand, people cannot start cutting programs which are beneficial to the poor, the disabled, the sick, and the elderly. I believe that now it is time for the people who are in power, to think about others and not so much about themselves or people who have the same economic status as they do. We must realize that things are not for free, and that we must pay for what we need. If that means razing taxes, then we should do it. Again, unless the republicans have a better plan, I do not see another solution.

a taste of an article
These are some things that I will probably include in a future article. I wrote in the Third person. I hope that this article will get published in newspapers. I will also be publishing it on here. Enjoy
Blind student will publish an article on school unfairness
A blind student, whom recently graduated from SMC College, will publish an article in a few months that will tell people how SMC College expects him to pass a class in able to obtain his AA degree. He will also talk about how future students could be affected by these requirements. According to the student, these requirements are unfair.
For example, the class that he has to take in able to get his AA degree, is not targeted towards him. For example, this person has to take a journalism class. Half if not more of the material in the class, is for people who can see. Also, since he took a math class, he knows that because the concepts that are going to be used there will be to guide people who can see, some blind people would not be able to understand them. He knows that they would probably not understand things such as: decimal points if there is not someone who knows how to explain to the blind student, in a proper way, what that is.
He would like to write this article because it is not fair for students to take a class about something that they know nothing or very little about. In this case, it would be the things, descriptions, format, or visuals that the teacher is using to teach the class. Because of these methods, the person who will write this article would talk about how the student will lose more instead of gaining something. For example, instead of earning an A or b, the student could get an F as a grade. Also, he or she will probably never use or understand the things that are being taught. He thinks there would be interest because it would show how The California educational system focuses on the majority. Also, because more blind people are going to school, it would be necessary to change the educational system. By people reading this, they would be more conscious that there has to be a change. Further more, since a lot of veterans are going back to college, there would be some people with disabilities that are going to school or will go to school. “Since we owe our freedom to these people, people should care about this problem,” The future author of this article said.
The author would include four pictures in this story. A picture of a blind man or woman sitting in a news writing class with arms crossed as all of the other students hold a newspaper, would be included. In the picture the students are divided into groups. The blind person is sitting nowhere near. In another picture, the professor is walking towards the student. In another one, they are talking. In the last picture, the student is alone and upset. The student still has nothing to do. The teacher is walking to the front of the room.
The student would interview professors, students who are blind, and those who are not, the president of the college, and department chairs.
