Online we can discuss things about ourselves that we wouldn’t reveal in real life. (Bob)
I don’t understand how anyone can just do one thing at a time. I would be so bored. (Peter)
Most of us care about the world, for it will be ours and we want it to be the best. (Lana)
What things in my life matter most to me? Schoolwork and how hard I have to study at it is one thing. Another is my friends. (Justin)
Yes, video games and social media are topics of conversation, but we don’t revolve our lives around them. At my school, the emphasis on helping others is huge. Last year we sent students to Cambodia to teach English and build houses. I am sure, we will continue volunteering. (Beatrice)
I believe that most young people are good and will grow up to be good citizens. Many of my peers agree that kids are more tolerant than they were 20 years ago. (Nick)
