Celebrities Have Voices Too!
UNITED STATES—I have to point out something that recently has started to annoy me. For some reason we live in a world right now where the political climate is so tense, just the mere mention of politics, candidates or a political affiliation can lead to all-out war. I read a story that apparently made national waves, when in reality...
Teaching Kids To Value Money
UNITED STATES—How do you teach children the value of money? It seems simple, but to me it always seems like a never-ending battle where I feel like I always come out on the losing end. I’ve been told that if you give a child money and force them to spend it to get the things they want, it will...

Are Video Games Dangerous?
UNITED STATES—This is something that has been discussed for years, and I mean years dating back to my early childhood.
