The Price of Snackz

Kids that come in to the corner store in west oak lane  are complaining about how the price of snacks at corner stores are getting higher and higher each day. Like chips. Right know for a bag of chips its 35 cent. come on now back in the day it only used to be 15 cent for a bag of chips. Also candy back in the day candy only used to be 1 penny can you imagine that 1 penny that is dirt cheap. Now for a little sour patch or for a little fish it is 10 cent. Now that is to much money for a small piece of candy. Candy all over the world is going up sky high because of the economy. The economy need all the money that they can get so they are going up on everything. But are you serious 10 cent for a piece of candy now that is way too much money. They would go back down to candy how it was in the back of the day. Some people want the price of candy to go down and some people want the price of candy to keep going up. Like myself when i go inside of a store i will complain because the prices are way to high. Like a hug the prices of hugs are going up the price of a hug was just 25 cent now they went all the way up to 35 cent that is way too much money. I work in a store and i see people complaining everyday when they come inside.

Plan B!!!!

I think that there should not be over the counter birth pills for children. One reason why i think that there should not be over the counter pills for children under sixteen, because children will take advantage of the pill and keep using it, Also children under sixteen should not get this pill because it is like telling a child that it is okay to have sex, and that they can get the pill any time they want to come get it. At the same time i think that it is a good thing to have the pill ready, because there are still mature young teenagers out there that are having sex but they have no way to get protection and they wind up getting pregnant.  This is a big topic to argue about with different people. I believe that if someone ask children on what they think children are automatically going to say yes just so they can have sex as many times as they want to. I believe they should give out the pill because a 12 year old boy can go to the corner store and get a condom so why cant girls got to the store or somewhere else and get the pill be for they get pregnant.

There is a law that in 2015 all graduates from High School will have to take a exam called the Keystone Exam. Basically the Keystone Exam is a Exam where it decides if that graduate is accurate enough to get there diploma. This Exam will start for all graduates in the year of 2015. The law is already signed off. The Keystone Exam basically makes up diffrent subjects such as a section of Algebra a section of English even a section Of physical Scienece. The Law states that if any 2015 graduate does not pass this test they will not get there diploma. They will get a piece of paper saying that they complete the 12th grade but it is not a diploma. Some sudents are worried about this exam because they think they wil not pass. Teachers are sayig students should not worry, because this will be the first year of the Keystone Exam so evrything should be alright. This Exam is so serious that i will decide if  any graduate is able to go to college or not. When ask Freshman Alexis Andino what she think of the Keystone exam she said" i hope i pass the Keystone Exam because i really want to go to college." The Keystone Exam will start in 2015 for all high school graduates. Some people will pass and some will not. Every student in the state of pennsylvania will have to take this exam.
