Teen Life Intro
Hey, my name is Mariano and I’m 13 and I’m in 8th grade. As you might or might not know I live in Malaysia which is a country in South East Asia. I’m originally from Argentina but I have been living outside of my home country since I was four. When I was four I first moved to Malawi in Africa and I lived there for about three years, after that I lived in The Philippines for another three, and now I have lived in Malaysia for two and a half years. My hobbies or pastimes (however you want to call them) are listening to music for hours, playing rugby, soccer, or basketball, skating, or playing some type of video game. I don’t have too many pastimes because I’m usually doing one or the other. During the week I’m usually quite busy because I do quite a lot of things after school; for example on Mondays after school I usually swim for two hours, on Tuesdays I’m usually doing homework which is usually quite time consuming, on Wednesdays I also swim after school for another two hours, on Thursdays I have guitar class, and on Friday mornings (6:30-7:45) I swim before schools starts. On weekends I’m usually go skating with friends or just chill at home. Finally on Sundays I have rugby practice in the afternoon for two hours. Somewhere in between my free time I usually do my homework.
Well we also had to write about concerns or worries we had so this is what I care about: First of all I don’t why countries have to wage stupid wars against each other for dismal reasons that could as easily be solved in a debate where no innocent lives and soldiers lives would be taken away. Also if countries are so rich and able to afford stupid machinery that is used kill people how come a government can’t spend the amount of money their spending on the military instead on a better cause like helping cure diseases like cancer or AIDS or instead using it to help people in third world countries. Coming from not one of the richest countries myself I would say if all the rich or middle classed countries were to put together at least half of the money they use on the military into a global fund to help third world countries and to cure global diseases, I think that the world would become a better place in only a few years. Another thing that really annoys me is terrorism. The fact that you can kill innocent lives just to prove something seems really stupid to me.
Well that’s who I am and the concerns I have for the world and I think that’s it about me.

Hey, my name is Alexandra. You seem like an interesting person, so do you almost always do the same things, don’t you change once in awhile, me my life consists of doing something different every day, sometimes that bothers me beacause that means that the only traditions in my family are that we live half the year somewhere else and that me and my sister are alwaysfighting because of something or another and that I will always end up with some kind of bruise even though she’s younger, what about you? do you have any siblings, and if you do, do you fight alot?

It´s true that the government in places should stop spending money on wrs when they could spend the money fixing other more important problems like poverty, less people would be begging on the streets, if they made more places for them to go and live while trying to find a job.
