Ever since Donald Trump made the decision to run for president, he and his family have been under tremendous scrutiny. With Donald Trump himself launching attacks on various groups within our society, it is easy to forget that his poor choices are not on the behalf of his family. People of our nation have been fighting fire with fire by sending insults to even the most innocent and vulnerable of the Trump clan: Barron.

Barron Trump, the ten-year-old "first boy" of the country wasn't the one who mocked the disabled reporter, or Hillary Clinton, or the several others that President Trump elected to bully (305 to be exact!)

He did not choose for his father to run for President of the United States, putting his family in the spotlight. He didn't choose for his every move to be analyzed by the media.

He, I'm sure, is much like every other ten-year-old boy in the country. I'm sure he loves video games, pizza, and cartoons. What he probably doesn't love? The terrible insults being hurled in his direction.

When I saw that the SNL writer made a joke about the Barron being the "next homeschool shooter," I was absolutely disgusted. With all of the controversy about guns and the recent tragedies surrounding school shootings, it was insensitive on all fronts.

That is just one of the many instances where, instead of directing frustration where it should be sent, the media is taking down the easiest target.

The last thing this country needs right now is negativity. Trying to inspire positive changes in the government through bullying and force is ultimately going to be ineffective. Not to be cliche, but fighting fire with fire is only going to create an environment where bullying is acceptable. And honestly, it is the last thing we need.

We need kindness. We need respect and love and a lot of it, and not just in regards to Barron Trump. To truly make America "great," we must create an atmosphere of kindness, respect, and love, and we must create it as soon as possible.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
