One of the main themes in Scott Westerfield’s text Uglies is the conflict teenagers have with where they stand in society and learning to respect and value themselves. Using examples from the text compare them with today’s world for teenagers.…
When I was younger I was playing with my sister and she ran up to me and asked me to push her on the swing so I did. After a few minutes I got tired and stopped and went in leaving her on the swing. When I came back out side she was tangled in the swing upside down I got in lots of trouble. I made that choice sort of unintentionally because I forgot she couldn’t get off the swing and I had to pee. I regret the decision now because every time I go to the park with my sister my parents remind me to take my 11 year old sister with me when I…
I really enjoyed reading your discussion post. I always find it interesting when reading another's classmates discussion post. When it comes to interacting with you customer and keeping them happy, you nailed it. You said, "we are constantly being rewarded for providing excellent service, in the end what is more important than job security." Without job security, you and your family could be jobless. One of my biggest pet peeves, is going into some department store or restaurant and encountering a employee who is has a additude and is borderline disrespectful. Why should I spend my hard earn money at said place of business, when, me the customer who basically pays you bills, is feeling somewhat slighted?…
Me and Gary were once going to a picnic to play softball. He left me in the car and i could smell the hot dogs. Then a little girl smaller than me came to the vehicle and had a hot dog. I could hear Gary screaming to tell the girl to get away, but my mouth was very dry and my saliva was drooling down. I was very gentle with the…
My pet peeve is when my brothers take a plastic bag of something from the pantry, and keep the top open. Whenever I go to eat something, the food is as hard as a rock! It drives me crazy! always ask them why they keep the top of the bag open, but the usual response is " I didn't." Now you know that my pet peeve is when my brothers don't close anything in the…

Have you ever had a person just sit and talk and complain to you about something you're doing? A person who tells you how much what you're doing is wrong, and why you shouldn't do it. A person who just nags you all the time, when in all reality they are guilty of doing the exact same thing? Well, I have and it drives me absolutely crazy, which leads me to my biggest pet peeve of all time hypocrites!…
As planned, my father arrived at six o’clock to pick me up. He had planned to bring me back to his house where my sister was getting ready, when, all of the sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach. As my stomach began to turn, I looked at my mom and told her that…
Once i went to a party to have a good time with my friends and family, but then people started coming that weren’t invited .The people started to bring alcohol and drugs and this party was a NO alcohol and drug party.The people that were there were making bad choices, so i left the party with my friend and her mom came to pick us up and her mom dropped me off at home. my mom came outside and said thank you for dropping her off… Then i walked in the house and my mom said, “Why you guys came home so early?” i said, “People was doing Drugs,vaping,smoking, and drinking, so that's why we left the party so early.” My mom said, “good job for leaving that was a good choice for leaving the party.”…
If you’re a fitness freak like me or spend countless hours in the gym rather than your own home you know what goes on wants you step a foot in the gym. But at one point or another we’ve all seen nasty, irritating, and confusing behavior by others at a gym or reaction center. Like for instance it are giant puddles of sweat left on machines, a meathead hoarding dumbbells in a packed weight room, or that one old man or women nude in the locker room. Nevertheless, for some people common respect seems to disappear in a gym setting now days. However, the common pet peeves I have always experience is preventable if people follow my advice, then everyone’s workout will go peacefully and smoothly.…
We were so happy, I started explaining to her where we were, how the place looked like and that there was a big garbage can, as I explain tears dripped from my eyes. We hugged each other, cried, and stayed put right next to the garbage can. We finally saw my mother’s silver BMW car. We slowly walked towards the car, making sure that it was my mother or one of our parents are in there. I then saw my mother did something with her hand, I know what that meant to hurry up, I told my little cousins to hurry up and get in the car, we ran as fast as we could towards the car and got in. Since then my little cousins and I learned a very big and important lesson that we will never forget, it to your pacings with your family, close and to tell them that you need a break if you are losing your…
My daughter at the age of 5 loved Strawberry Shortcake. When I took her school shopping for kindergarten she was so excited to be able to get new Strawberry Shortcake sneakers. She put them on the first day of school and danced around, showing them off. That afternoon she walked into the house crying, ripped the shoes off of her feet, stomped over to the trash can and threw them in. After much persuasion I discovered that the kids on the bus harassed her because of her shoes and called her all kinds of names.…
We walked around the whole mall twice creeping on people trying to see if they were Deaf or not. I was so pissed at her because I figured that while we were going store to store, the event finished. Not gonna lie, I was giving her hell, but it was for a good reason, my grade!…
Finally by the time we got home I went straight to my mom and dads room and I noticed “I WAS MISSING A TOOTH” I screamed at the top of my lungs and my mom rushed to the room but eventually I stopped screaming and calmly laid down on the bed and fell asleep while watching the show Phineas and Ferb(I was only 6 so I should be aloud to watch the show alright).The next day when I woke up I smelled heaven and right away I knew what it was my grandmas pancakes!I rushed out of bed and ran as fast as I could to the dining room. I was just on time because the pancakes were about to be ready. After…
I really bloody hate it when my sisters take my stuff and don’t put it back. My clothes are conveniently ‘getting lost’ in the wash and in a moment of complete idiocy my sisters ‘mistake’ my clothes for theirs. Despite my things being at least two sizes too big. When I finally get my clothes back from the sticky paws they are covered in stains and are completely ruined. I swear my sisters are secret agents sent to seek and destroy anything that will make me even the remotest bit attractive to the opposite sex.…
