How Technology has Impacted our Lives in a Negative Way

Have you ever wondered how Technology has impacted our lives in a negative way? Most people think that it makes life better, easier but in reality many people's lives have changed because of this.
Many people are getting injured because of technology. About 1.6 million crashes happen because people are texting and driving. Making 330,000 injuries of the people that were texting and driving. Most of these accidents are caused by teens that can drive and adults. 34% of people have admitted to be texting and driving when the crash occurred. 13% of the people were people from ages 18-20 admit to have been texting and driving.
Teens that have phones and are always on it even at night don't sleep as many hours as they should be sleeping. Teens need about 9 to 9 ¼ hours of sleep but they sometimes get 7 hours or less. Some teens don't sleep at all at night because they spend their times on their phones. When your phone wakes you up from a peaceful sleep it will start to make you lose Melatonin which are hormones that control our sleeping and waking cycle. By people reducing Melatonin it starts to make it harder for people to go to sleep or sometimes stay asleep. Sometimes if you watch a movie before going to sleep or even just texting someone goodnight your brain will make you think that you still need to stay awake. The light that your phone provides mimics the daylight. Causing people to wake up tired, anxious, and depressed.
With technology always around us we don't communicate as much as we used to with the people around us. When there wasn't a lot of technology back then people would talk to each other if they were waiting even if a person was a stranger. But now people spend most of their time talking on the phone or just doing something on their phones and don't bother asking someone how their day is going that is next to them. People should at least try to talk to others around them instead of always being on their phones.
Technology has also affected people's educations. People that like to be on their phones all day don't do their homework and don't learn everything that they need to know. Sometimes kids have their phones with them during the school day and try to use it as much as they can. Sometimes kids forget about their homework because they just spend their whole time after school on their phones.
I did a survey on the kids in my school. The first question I asked was how many hours do they spend on technology. The highest someone spends on technology in my school is a whole day. The other answers were 10 hours, 8 hours, 3 hours, 4 hours, 5 ½ hours. Another question I asked was how many hours do you sleep. The lowest was 6 hours and the highest was 10 hours the other answers were 9 hours, 8 phours, and 7 hours.
Another question was how long can you go without your phone. 3 people said 30 minutes, 1 person said 1 hours, 3 people said 3 hours, and 2 people said other. The last question was do you think technology is bad for you. 10 people said it's not bad and only 2 people said yes.

The $100 I Got For Christmas And A Big Teddy Bear I Got For My Birthday

When it was Christmas morning my,other went into my brothers room and mine and gave us $100 each, I was so happy because I would be able to buy what I wanted for a long time.

Also for my birthday I got a big Teddy Bear from my dad. I was in my room talking to my friends when the doorbell rung and my dad came in with a teddy bear. I was happy because I always loved to have and stuffed animals because they are soft and I just always loved them.

My Favorite Quote

My favorite quote is  

"Be helpful. When you see a person without a smile, give them yours." ~ Zig Ziglar

What this quote means to me is that many people seem sad and that once someone smiles at them they smile too.
When I would see my friends or family sad I would always try to make them smile because I dmt like to see people sad.

What I am grateful this year

I am grateful for having a home to live in and stay warm, clothes, shoes, and everything that I need. What I'm mostly grateful is my family because they take care of me and provide for me. Also they love me as much as I love them. My family gets me through tough times and also supports my decisions even if they don't think that, that is the correct one. I'm grateful for having my family and everything that I have now. I'm also grateful for my friends because they help me with problems and they also support me and I love them like they love me. I will never stop being grateful for my family because they are the best thing that ever happened to me.

My Thoughts and Feeling About the Election

This election is not bringing everyone closer it making everyone go against each other. I don't think that's it fair that Trump won because the citizens had to vote for someone to decide if they would vote for Trump or Hillary. I kind of do want to be more involved in politics to know what's going on but then again I don't cause then I might get more focused on that when I'm supposed to be focused on. I won't be voting the next election because I still would not be old enough to vote. But I am excited because some of my friends will be able to vote the next election. Some issues I find important is the immigration because Trump wants to send all the Mexicans that came to the U.S.A illegally even if they have worked hard on earning money from the job that they do. I just didn't like this years election at all.

My Mother Hitting an 18 Year Old That Runs Onto the Street

Last year, a women named Mariana was picking up her two kids from her sisters house. Her kids names are Natali who is 12 years old and Jose who is 16 years old. Mariana drove two streets before turning the corner to go back to her house. When Mariana turned the corner she had just gained a little bit of speed when a kid runs out on the street. Mariana steps on the brakes as hard as she can to stop the car. Mariana told her kids "I just hit a kid with the car,"Mariana got out of the car to see if the kid was ok.
      When she got out she  saw that the side mirror on the drivers side had completely flown off the car. She saw that the kid was sitting in the curb of the street. Mariana had to move the car since there was other cars waiting behind her car. Once she was parked she got out of the car with her kids. After a few minutes passed the cops came with the ambulance and the fire department. The nurses went to check the kid that was hit and the cops came to ask Natali and Jose where they were in the car and other things while another cop asked Mariana some questions.
       After a while the cops took Mariana. The kids aunt came and took them back to her house since their mom was taken and their dad was still working. After an hour or two the kids father came to their aunts home to try and see if they would let their mom out. After waiting some hours Mariana called to say how much they need to pay to get her out which was $100 or more. The family of Mariana gathered the money and one of the family member of Mariana went to the police station to get Mariana and bring her back.
         A few days later after they got Mariana out, Mariana had to go to court to see what would happen. Once court finished they found out that it was the kids fault and that the kid was 18 years old. Kids do you want to get hit by a car? Parents do you worry about your kids getting hit by car? Always remember kids that you should look both ways before crossing the street.

The Best Day of My Life Was:

The best day of my life was when I went to Mexico because I finally got to see my grandma in person instead of always seeing her through pictures or video calls. I was always with my grandma and her boyfriend and also my little cousin that went with me to Mexico. I was so excited because I would see how my parents grew up and how different it was from theU.S. It was kind of different because the streets were mostly made out of rocks and there were many hills. The ocean water was very salty and it burned your eyes. The sun was also very hot and if you didn't put sunscreen then you would get burned really bad. I actually kind of liked it better over there then over here because you could walk alone in the night and also if you could reach the petals of the car then you could drive. Mexico was the best days of my life.
