And that's why I'm quasi-scared to the country that is us; The United States. I mean, I know we aren't "utopian", but in some respects we are, aren't we?
We always "try" to help others, we are the country of "the free", Freedom and equality (on paper at least, though discrimination will always reign somewhere..)...sounds good, and it has worked for a while...
But I mean in today's society, it just feels like there's been a drastic decline in everything... there is a lower in state test scores, not to mention school grades... most kids don't seem like trying...I mean, I'm seventeen, and I witness it every day... its like a vicious cycle, and maybe it isn't the kids themselves faults... but I mean, sometimes it just makes me wonder where our country is going right now.
