Why Are Teens Not Engaging with Books as Much?
Many teens today are not reading books as much as previous generations. In my opinion, technology is the biggest reason because phones, social media, and video games grab their attention more quickly than books, which I agree with, as I would rather be on my phone than read a book.

Why Skinny Ripped Jeans Are No Longer in Style
Fashion trends are always changing. I think skinny ripped jeans are not as popular as they used to be. Many people now prefer looser and more comfortable styles.

Which Makeup Products Are Worth Your Money?
Some makeup products are worth spending more money on, but others are not. I think it is smart to mix expensive and affordable products.

Should Celebrities Be Political Role Models?
When you go onto social media, whether it be Facebook, Twitter or something else, you more than likely will see some political drama about some controversial topic.

Is Replay Technology Good for the Game or Does It Ruin the Fun?
