irresponsibility

Irresponsibility, it comes in many ways. It hurts people and it stops people from doing what they want and deserve to do. Many people have it. Adults sometimes have it, children usually have it, and the majority of teenagers have it too. Many people are irresponsible, and most of the time they don't even know it. Sometimes people aren't irresponsible but, are thought of as irresponsible. I have been called irresponsible a number of times, mostly by parents and some times by teachers. I don't believe that I am irresponsible I believe I am just unlucky. I usually get my homework in on time, and when I don't I usually have a good reason. I do my chores on a regular basis, and I clean up after my self at home. In my eyes I am a very responsible person, or at least compared to other teenagers. One thing I have been called irresponsible for is not doing my homework. I have time, yes, I am smart enough to do the homework, yes, but there is one reason I cant do some of the homework. Im not like most people, I don't have parents that spoil me, I don't have a laptop, a tv in my room, or even a phone with a camera. In fact I am missing one very important thing when it comes to doing well in this school, I have no computer at home. I believe it is irresponsible for teachers to get the thought that every student has one at home. Because of my lack at home and the fact that I need to ride the bus I am required to do my homework during late start and lunch. I have this blog, two papers on two different books, a two page essay on another country, and I have to look up things on blackboard as homework and some of it is overdue because lunch just isn't long enough for me to complete the work on time. Before the computer broke at my house I had good grades, almost straight A's. But now, because this school relies on computers so much I have dropped just about every grade possible. I didn't think it was irresponsible when I had a computer, but now that I don't and I'm being called irresponsible for not having one, I realize that it is irresponsible for teachers to force us to rely on computers so much. I feel very sorry for other people that dont have a computer, because this school relies on them so much that they must stay after school just about every day to do their work, I know if I didn't ride the bus I would. The worst part is that I don't really have a choice but to loose my grades all because of a few different teachers' irresponsibility.

The Army Today

There are lot of things that I can see both sides of, or reason for, but one thing I can not is supporting our troops. Many people think that war is immoral, or wrong, or that the my was sent for an un-just reason. Those reasons that I have heard from other people is still no responsible reason to tell others that they should not join the army or to not “stand behind the troops”. As I said previously I can reason for other things. The other things in which I can reason for includes, being in college or not, whether classes should be required or not or even abortion. Not supporting our troops is an act that every person should have if they expect to be free in any way. A person should support their leader if they want to, or want to support their country and whether you think its not right or is you should still support it, you don’t have to join. In America the president always has to have a good reason to move the army to a specific region, and go to war there, so if they need a good reason it should be a good enough reason for you to simply support them.A reason one person has given me to not support the troops was because they wanted world peace, and they though war was wrong. Not all the people in the army supports war, though they are in it. Going into the army and not supporting the war is like not liking people fight but still fighting other people, its not always good but it usually helps especially for America. I am one on the seemingly few people that are against war but still want to be in the army and still support the troops. Supporting the troop is a vital thing to help keep the country intact and thriving. Someone differing from your opinion is all right, and just because someone differs from your opinion doesn’t give you the right to tell them they are completely incorrect and that they shoud give up. Its just like if you wanted to start a recycling club or wanted to be a singer and some one telling you not to because they don’t like music or think you wouldn’t be able to make a difference. Doing something like that is like telling someone not to joined the army. I would agree now and then on other topics but I don’t care what you could possibly say because there is no true, reasonable, way to say that the army for the United states is wrong.
