Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a great and safe Turkey Day!! Ive been working on my paper and am getting so aggravated for lack of a better word because every topic that I come up with is sooo broad that there is way too many different views to be contained into one paper. I'm almost dead locked on peer pressure and its effects on adolescence, probably because it hits so close to home. My daughters are 15 and 17 and peer pressure has been the topic of more than one discussion this year. The way they style their hair, what they wear, where they want to go or not go.. Now our biggest battle is my daughter doesn't want to go to college because all of her friends say its a waste of time. Her argument is that she has spent the past 12 years in school so why go back for 4 more. I guess at her age I could understand where she was coming from however at the point in life that I'm at now it sounds ridiculous.. I'm so glad that I actually am able to go to school from home because I am able to spend more time with them and monitor what they are doing. If I had to take 2 or three classes away from home and worry about the commute and being away from the house and less available it would bother me. Oh well those are the happenings here in Richmond tonight. Hope things are great in your neck of the woods:)
