Cat in the Hat is a Children's Movie??    As a person who loves Cat in the Hat and knows almost the whole script from memory, I do have to say that it is very inappropriate. Some mothers have restricted their kids from watching Cat in the Hat because of all the sexual references. I think that Cat in the Hat is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen.  Unfortunately, it should not be classified as a children's movie.   Some of the inappropriate references in the movie: The Cat's hat growing when he sees a picture of Conrad and Sally's mom.

Should Social Media Websites Be Blocked On School WiFi? Many schools around the United States have chosen to block all social media.  Some say that blocking social media is a way to prevent students from getting distracted.  Teachers might be afraid that students will choose to go on gaming websites instead of using their computers for real school work.  Another reason schools might block social media from students WiFi is to prevent cyber bullying.  Students could use their snap chat , Instagram , or Facebook , to be mean to other students. In previous schools I have been to, social media has been blocked.  Having social media blocked did help me during class, but after class it wasn't helpful.  I understand the thought process involved in why social media should be blocked, but it makes free periods and lunch time no fun.   During study hall, some kids choose to play on their phones when they don't have homework.  When social media is blocked student don&

     Six Things You Should Know About Moving To A New State     When moving to a new state it is very important to know and be comfortable with a huge change.  The most important thing to be is prepared.  From my personal experience, there is definitely things I didn't know that would have helped me a lot when I first moved out of state.  Here are six things everyone should think about before moving to a new state.    1. Only pack what is important to you.   When I moved to Tennessee in 2012,  I was only 11 years old.  When my family first started packing for our big move, we packed almost everything we owned.  We didn't think anything was anything wrong with packing all of our stuff.  When we finally got to our new home in Tennessee, we realized that packing everything we owned was a bad idea.  Instead of going through clothing and donating all of the stuff that didn't fit or didn't want anymore, we took everything with us.  Unpacking the boxes in

  Media Consumption By Charlee Davis  This photo is an example of teenagers spending their time on their phones instead of socializing and hanging out together. Media usage in 2017 can seriously affect someone's lifestyle and time management. Most people spend the majority of their day on electronic devices or watching TV. During the past two weeks I was asked to chart my media consumption. Throughout this time I have noticed that I spend way more time on social media platforms than normal. I was spending approximately 5 Hours a week on social media and gaming apps.  I would decide to play on my phone instead of doing my homework or scheduling my time usefully. I was initially shocked when I logged my time in the chart because compared to the other categories I spent almost four hours more on social media than watching TV or seeing commercials and advertisements. Using the information gathered within the past two weeks I definitely have decided to restrict mys
