Driving at 16? I think not! by Kerstyn B.

The legal driving age of a person should be eighteen instead of sixteen. I have researched and there are too many deaths among sixteen year old drivers. It is only the smart thing to do. With this change there would be less accidents and fewer deaths among teens.

America Is Killing Its Future by Kara D

In America, people always seem to think they can find a way out of things. This could be cheating on a test, skipping a day of work, or it could come down to abortion. There's no get out of jail free card when it comes to responsiblity. America needs to think about what they do before they make a decision that could alter a life.
