Wear a Motorcycle Helmet

I am writing because I think the law on motorcycles should be changed because wearing a helmet is a lot safer. Wearing a helmet protects your head from a crash and makes you see better.

It is safe to wear a helmet because of a bad storm. If it was hailing it would hurt your head if you weren't wearing a helmet. If you wear a helmet the wind wouldn't hit your head. It would not hurt your head if you wear a helmet.

Changing School Hours

I think that we should go to school from 10:00AM to 5:00PM. Here's why:

#1-If we went to school later in the day we would be less tired and would be able to pay attention better in class. Plus we would have more time in the morning and we wouldn't forget our homework as often.

#2-More time in the morning would give teachers more time to plan the day out. Also,we could do our homework in the morning instead of the night because school gets out so late.Thank you.

Voting

I think kids should be able to vote. Kids are people too, we are just younger. And everybody in the whole world can vote for who they want. But under 8 should not. And kids should vote because we are citizens of America. And we are going to one day but I think we should start now. AND people who want to run for president know there are more peole out there who want to vote for them. And it will be fair because everybody is voting.

Stop Polluting the Earth!

I think we should stop polluting the earth with carbon monoxide that's released from factory's and cars. Because in a year or two from now we're going to have no ice and the polar bears are going to be extinct. With all this ice melting the oceans waters WILL rise. We could just ride bikes for a month or two and will cause a great help with global warming. So that's the reason why I want to help fight with polluting the earth with carbon monoxide.

No Uniforms

I think we shouldn't wear uniforms because they could always be ugly or REALLY uncomfortable. And if we did we would all look the same and that would be boring. Another reason why is parents would waste their money on buying uniforms when kids have a dresser and closet full of clothes.
If we do get uniforms (which i hope will be never)it would be fair to make all staff and students wear uniforms too. And most of all we should wear what we want to wear.

School Rights

I think kids should go to school later and get out earlier because some kids need more sleep if they stayed up late to spend more time with their family. Maybe some people need to finish a project they never got to finish or some people are going to do an activity with their friends and family. Some people say they "need" to finish a game or play the game with their family after their parents get home from work. Teachers would be able to finish checking work so they still be able to use the rest of their spare time. Some people can stay up late to watch a show that only comes on at night. Then if people get home from college to visit the family late at night, they get enough sleep to get up to go back to college. This can help so if there's kids that went on a long trip, they get enough sleep to stay awake at school the next day.

Volunteering

I think more people should want to volunteer for more stuff. Like for example Haiti's earthquake. My uncle is in Haiti helping right now, because that's a big issue. Volunteering to help teachers. Stuff like that. People should want to help the red cross or fire fighters. Because they care about you and help you. So you should help them.

Trouble Sleeping

School should start later because some students go to bed early but have trouble sleeping. Sometimes trouble sleeping can cause less sleep. So the student will get lazy and get lower grades. That might cause students of all ages to have to or even be forced to do summer school or repeat a grade. And school doesn't come free, actually it costs money.And families will lose money and they won't have much fun in the summer. If all of this trouble happens there will be bunches and bunches of madness and complaints. And that is why school should start later.

Voting Rights

I believe that citizens of America should get to vote when they are thirteen years old. I believe this, because more Americans may be happy with the presidential choice. Also, more opinions may be voiced, so you may see the candidates from different perspectives, which may cause you to make a choice for the better.
Also, thirteen year olds are citizens too, and their fate is also in the balance, so why shouldn't they get a say in their country's leader? And that is why I think thirteen year olds should vote for the leader of their country.

Save Water and Trees

We should stop cutting down trees. We are killing poor animals by cutting down trees.Birds nests are falling when we cut down trees. We can start building houses out of metal. We should start saving water. When you brush your teeth, turn off the water until you rinse your mouth out. When you take a shower, do not leave the water running.
