Why teens should not keep their rooms anyway they want

Why should parents intervene on how their teens keep their room? Health, organization skills, and it work skills are all great reasons on why parents should help their teens.
Many teens have a hard time reminding themselves to pick up cloths, or wet towels off of the ground. Usually adolescence gives excuses and forgets to vacuum or pick up trash from Friday night’s sleepover. Because of their forgetfulness rodents, ants, and flies make their home in your kid’s bedroom. Icky and slimy mold and fungi start creeping in and a starts fouling up the air in your teen’s bedroom. Furthermore your young adult becomes sick more often and eventually stays sick constantly. Health is extremely important for teens so helping to remind them to pick up that wet towel will help your teens stay healthy.
Looking around, you might notice that God is very organized; our bodies are a testimony of that. God did not just throw a bunch of organs inside our body and also throw a couple extra organs also, no God has a purpose for every organ and they are placed in a orderly fashion. Also teaching your teenager discipline is very important. Learning discipline will teach them to stay organized and become more responsible. Therefore helping teens become orderly and teaching them discipline is no crime, in fact God wants us to be orderly.
In the future your teen will be more productive and efficient. When your kid is employed for their first job, their boss would be impressed on how organized, productive, and efficient your teen is. Also your teen will either have an apartment or house that they must look after and repair. Furthermore your child may have children of their own that they must teach the skills you taught them. Throughout their life they will be practicing the skills you give them.
So for your kids health, organization skills, and to help your teens in the future it would be better to intervene in your child’s organization.

Why P.E Classes should be mandatory
Why P.E Classes should be mandatory

Why should P.E classes be mandatory for High School Students? Teenagers would be healthier. It would teach them teamwork. It gives Teens a chance to do an activity. These three main points are excellent reasons why physical education should be mandatory.
Teaching student’s teamwork will help them later in life. For instance learning to get along with their peers will help them later when working with costumers, employers, or employees. Also they will develop their friendships better and give them a sense of belonging and security outside the family.
Another advantage of P.E classes is teenagers would be able to fend of sickness better when they have a healthier body. Also teens would get better sleep and higher grades because of working out and will work their brain as well as their body. Furthermore posture would improve as well as less body fat. Therefore the heart would not have to pump harder to get through all the body fat that teens seem to possess. Teens would have a better chance of less heart diseases as well as a healthier body.
The most important point that will help Adolescent is it will give them an activity after school. Many of our teens today are involved with drugs, drinking, smoking, and gangs. Giving them activities after school will help the temptations of drugs, drinking, smoking and gangs. The more they learn about their body and how it works and the more they exercise their body they would have less time to create bad friendships, start drugs, drinking under age, joining gangs, and smoking the better our crime rates would be less and less.
Giving teens an opportunity to learn teamwork, giving them a healthier body, and giving teens activities to do will help them in the long run. Help teens today!

Black Belt Means What to Me?
As I asked myself this simple question: Black Belt Means What to Me? I came up with several experiences with Master Peter’s Studio.
The first time I walked into Master Peter’s Studio was not as a student or even a person who was thinking of taking class. When I walked into the studio it was a lot bigger then the YMCA class which only had about five energetic seven and eight year olds. As we walked in, an instructor, who we later learned that her name was Linda, scurried over the blue and red mat and asked if my dad needed any information. While talking to my dad, I watched as instructors walked around counting while the kids kicked. It looked pretty cool but not cool enough to give up my current sport, swimming. Connor looked on in amazement. I could tell he was sold on this studio. His eyes were as big as eggs and he could not stop talking about it on the car ride home.
At first it was only my brother, Connor into Taekwondo, but Andrea after breaking her arm wanted to quit ballet and it went down hill form there. Soon even my younger brother, Alexander found his way into Taekwondo and I could tell my time would soon be coming. Little did I know, it was only one month after Alexander started that I started.
I remembered that first day clearly when I walked into Master Peter’s Studio for the first time as a student. About ten kids showed up to the class and that day was labeled the hardest workout in my life. From learning how to kick, to squatting down and walking across the room, I learned to hate the word “Go” that came from the instructor’s mouth. Once I came home after an exhaustive workout, I went straight to bed, not even caring to eat my supper. I was exhausted. What made it even worse is that my brothers and sister could run around and you could not tell that they even had a work out. I soon got used to squatting and walking across the room that gave me a little victory in itself. Later I learned that I would have to accomplished many tiny victories before getting to my final color belt.
After two months of learning punching, and kicking I got my first taste of sparring. The first person that I sparred was someone who was half my size and was ten times faster then me. Thanks to her I learned a lot. As time went on my habit of kicking with my toes got to me leaving me with tears in my eyes and a badly bruised toe. Thanks to Master Peter I have since then learned how to kick correctly and have gotten a tiny bit faster.
Still I lately had to overcome even another obstacle in my way. After trying six or seven times to break a board I finally overcame the board and it cracked but not after twisting my ankle and jeopardizing if I would quit, of course as you can see I did not.
Yellow, Purple, Orange and all the other color belts seem to be the most obvious accomplishments but before you get to yellow you must know how to kick, punch, count, jump, roll and so on.
So what does Black Belt mean to me? It means that I, Morgan Thomas, can accomplish whatever I set my heart to do.
