Mykel asked:
What kind of affect does fast food have on your everyday life?
Emily responded:There are so many ways that fast food plays into your everyday life. Whether it is sitting at home watching T.V or driving through town going by all of the restaurants. There have been many times that I have wanted to stop by and grab a bit to eat at one of the fast food places since their food and drinks are so cheep. I try and stop myself by realizing how bad it is for you. It is also very convenient if you are in a hurry and are needing some food just to pull into one of the many restaurants along the side of the road. So yes fast food does effect me everyday, and I know that it effects many other people in the same ways it effects me.
My response:
I do agree with Emily. Fast food is so delicious to me! It's hard to turn it down, especially when in a rush. Because I am an athelete of our high school, we stop to eat almost every time we go to away games or matches. This becomes a problem because we want FAST FOOD! I'm always so hungry after my events so obviously I'm going to buy a nice four dollar meal from McDonalds. This can lead to many issues for me though. I know Emily is a runner and she can relate because we both have to stay in shape for our sports. Eating these kinds of food doesn't help the cause. Sure, the food is quick and tasty, but it's extremely unhealthy and definitely affects my every day life.
Macayla asked:
Have you ever done something just for the popularity?
Sam responded:
I my self have not done something just because I thought it would make me more popular/give me more popularity. Sadly, many people in todays generation do however. I think that they need to realize being yourself will make you a lot more friends than you trying to be someone else or by acting different.
My response:
Sam, I think that's a very good point you brought up about being yourself. Saying this, I feel like everyone has a point in their life when they feel like they want to fit in so bad that they do things they wouldn't normally do to "fit in" or to "be popular." High school might seem like a popularity contest, but it's really not. Nobody really cares about what you wear, who you hang out with, or even what sports you play. I'm not saying I'm innocent of not doing things for popularity before, but as time goes by, you start realizing that you need to let the little things stay little and you need to find happiness within yourself instead of relying on a popular group to make you happy.
Calli asked:
How would you deal with the pain of losing a family member?
Morgan responded:
If I lost a family member, I would be very upset and probably be in a stage of not knowing what to do anymore. Eventually, I would start to accept the fact and move on. It isn't easy losing a loved one, but sometime, you just have to let go and go on with your life. It would be tough, but we have to realize they're in a better place. To deal with the pain, I'd think about all of the good times we had together and then start to move on because there is nothing I could do anymore to make them be with us still.
My response:
I can see what Morgan is saying, but I honestly can say that I don't know what I would do if I lost a family member. Psychiatrists always say that people go through a phase of disbelief, then denial, depression, anger, etc. but I really can't say that stage would come first for myself. I do believe people's grieving processes are different, but I'd probably just have to take things day by day and surround myself with my friends. This is a very difficult question to answer because no one really knows what they'd do until the time comes.
Emily asked:
"When they talked about how kids used their parents to get to go to McDonald's, do you ever remember doing that to your own parents?"
Ben responded:
Yes i do. I would always ask to go to McDonalds because of the Playplace. And then inevitably i would say "im hungry" and we would get food. And thats how McDonald's makes their money.
My Response:
Ben, it's funny you say that, because I know kids our age that go to McDonald's just for the play land... STILL. It's kind of ridiculous, but yes, that's how that corporation makes their money. I was never one of those kids who cared for the play land, but I absolutely loved McDonald's food when I was younger, and I still do!! I remember pitching fits and having my sisters join in on it just so we can get a small fry from the McDonald's drive through. I think that all kids have attempted this scheme at least once in their lives!
