Should the United States Get Involved in Other Countries Affairs?
I don't think that the United States should get involved with other countries. We're a free country. We own ourselves. We have enough going on, plus the war, to worry about any other countries.

People only change after something bad happens.
I think that this statement is true. We do feel unhappy when something bad happens to people, don't we? We wish we could have kept it from happening, but we couldn't. When you are very sad, you may not feel like doing anything that you used to do, like riding your bike or doing your chores. You may even have trouble going to sleep, because you can't stop thinking about the things that make you sad. An example of something bad that can happen to people is when someone you are close to dies. When they die you want to change something bad you are doing in your life. Because what people don't realize is that life is short. You have to do the best you can in life because you never know when something else bad is going to happen.

Is it okay to get involved in other people's business?
I think that getting into people's business is not a good thing. Unless there is a good reason
for it. Like if someone is in danger. If you know about something that may be harmful to
someone, or risking their life you should tell someone with authority as soon as you can.
But as far as personal business, people should be able to tell their business to whoever they want to. You don't have to know everyone's business. that is how trouble gets started, especially in school. There is always some drama going on in school, just because someone got into someone else's business, and told it to the wrong person. I've never really got into anyone's business. I really just mind my own business. In don't get into anyone's business, because I wouldn't want anyone to get into mine.
