Teens tend to connect better to shows that relate to them or something they know like high school. One plot that stuck out to me was the school shooting; a student was bullied to the point he brought a gun to school and took his own life instead of others. Growing up in a time where bullying is everywhere and dealing with a similar issue made me think what could students do different to to change someones life to make things better for them. As a teenager students don't think of the consequences their actions could have on another person.

Why Athletes are Good Role Models Ever since the ancient years, we have admired athletes and the hard work. that they do to achieve their goal of winning. We idolize them and wish we were more like them. What happens though when the realization sinks in that they are human too and that some of them do get greedy and selfish?
Colin Singleton, a child prodigy, was fixated on only dating girls named Katherine. At only seventeen years of age, Colin had dated nineteen girls named Katherine, in a row. Not only had Colin’s life been revolved around Katherines, but also around becoming a genius. Furthermore, he wanted to create the Theorem of Underlying Katherine Probability, a theorem that would predict the future of a relationship that is meritorious. Colin wants to make a difference and find his place in the world. “I just want to do something that matters. Or be something that matters. I just want to matter” (Green 94).
Athlets have been lookd up to as role models for as long as sports have exsted. There is just something attractive about the thought of being in good physical condition and being talented in sports. But, are athlets the kind of people that children should be looking up to for direction and guidance? Many children often look up to the professional athletes as role models. In fact, in 1995 Sports Illustrated for Kids did a survey for kids who were ages 7 through 12 about who their role model was. The majority of the kids answered that a professional athlete was who they most looked up to. Only four percent of the children answered that their role model was one of thir parents. Because of today?s media, athletes are constantly in the public eye. Everything they do on and off of the playing field. Some professional athletes speak a positive message through their fame by demonstrating constructive ideas such as teamwork and commitment while they are on the field. Even off of the playing field some athletes set a good example by visiting children in schools, going to hospitals, or even setting up foundations and organizations to help the ill and less fortunate people. However, other athletes are not as considerate to the fact that someone may be looking up to them, some athletes are not concerned about anything other than the sport they are getting paid to play and themselves. These athletes are the ones that propose questions over whether athletes should be considered role models or not. A role model can be defined as a person whose behavior, example or success is or can be emulated by others, especially young people. Who would want their child looking up to someone who has been convicted of domestic violence or has a drug addiction? It is an argument of opinion that cannot be settled.
Like Cole, I too have learned a few lessons in the short thirteen years I’ve lived on Earth. One of the most important things I have ever learned is one of the most important relationships to have is friendship. A lot of times I’ve thought I can do everything by myself and never let anyone else in, and often than not I’ve ended up hurting myself worse. I’ve learned being surrounded by people who care about you and believe in you is one of the most important assets to being a happy pe...
