So there were quite a few people raging about kids and how their behavior is unacceptable. Some people going as far to say that they, not the kid’s parents, they are very much on board with smacking a child that isn’t there own. Other extreme cases say that kids shouldn’t be taken out in public if they cant keep their cool. There’s something I want you to consider. How the world treats a child shapes how they’ll turn out not just their parent’s influence alone. Also that while you may have apparently been some sparkling precious angel other are highly imperfect. These imperfections such as blunt honesty are what makes being around kids refreshing. We live in a world that lacks the ability to properly communicate so this just makes everyone’s lives a little easier.

Even if you have other people’s kids syndrome, opk for short, please bear in mind how you would want to be treated. Most kids don't go out for often because of people like you shamming hardworking mothers and fathers. Would you have really wanted to grow up and only go to school? You really don't remember what it's like to know virtually nothing. To quote John Malaney "I am very small, and I have no money, so you can imagine the kind of stress I'm under."

When you have your own nieces and nephews, whatever your views may be on family there's one thing that you can't really complain about. When your siblings have children and you become an aunt or uncle it's one of the most worthwhile things you can do. I've had my nieces and nephews in my life since I was Very young. I can say that it's only made me be a better person because I've thought about the kind of example I'm setting for them. From the moment you meet them, while you may not be particularly enthused, you know that you'd protect them.

Watching them grow up you know there isn’t a single thing you wouldn’t do for them. You see just a bit of yourself in how they act. You get to see how they change as they grow older and help them as they grow up. You kind feel [roud of them for getting so far even if they're still so young and they've got so far to go. All that you can hope for is that they grow up to be kind and happy. Our society is constantly changing so all you can really do is offer to listen to them and learn from them about where ever their interests lie.

To come to a close, we need to have a bit more empathy for the adults of tomorrow or they may lack empathy for us. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows but we can work to make things better for all of us in the long run.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
