Leave Barron Trump Alone
PMCHOLLYWOODLIFE

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
