Four teens pull up to a McDonald’s Drive through and attemp to Rap their order. Apparently, they had spent too much time on YouTube watching different McDonald’s rap videos. They apparently didn’t watch the whole video to see that no one actually understood what the rappers wanted. The people at a Utah McDonald’s were not amused and asked the “musicians” to speak clearly.

I realize that this subject is interpretable and perhaps a bit controversial, but the way teens dress for school really does affect their education.

Steve Jobs was the idol of choice … Continue reading →

Years ago, a family member lost his college scholarship because he was caught with friends who were doing something illegal. This person had alot of “the wrong place, the wrong time incedents”. There is a young man in my county who is being prosecuted for an attack on a young woman and her baby. He dropped off two “friends” and left them at the residence. I just heard about two teenage boys being charged for some very serios crimes because friends asked them to help get something back from a girlfriend. The simple breaking and entering escalated into something ugly. … Continue reading →
