I am a 17 year old black male who will be turning 18 in August. When I do, I will be registering as a Republican. In my opinion, the Republicans have the best interests in mind for this country. Here is why I will register as a Republican:

#1. They are against abortion. Abortion is murder, and certainly NOT a woman's right. Where is a woman's "right" to an abortion mentioned in the Constitution?

#2. They are for tougher punishment of illegal aliens. Why should my tax dollars go towards people who are not citizens? My tax dollars going towards US citizens who don't want to work for their own way of living is bad enough.

#3. They are against too much money being appropriated into social programs such as welfare and food stamps. I get that some people actually do need this help, but a substantial amount of people cheat the system. I lived in the ghetto for a while, so I know this to be true.

#4. They support traditional marriage. I'm not saying that gays shouldn't have the right to be together, but marriage is for straight couples. Let them have civil unions with the same legal rights as a married couple.

#5. Unlike the libtards of the Democratic Party, the Republicans are not trying to restrict my gun rights. I'm all in for REASONABLE restrictions, not the ones that libtards are trying to roll out.

#6. They are not religion bashers like the Democratic Party. I REFUSE to say "Happy Holidays." I'm saying Merry Christmas whether you like it or not.

#7. They do not try enforce political correctness, unlike the Democratic Party. I'm not going to stop saying something just because somebody feels offended. It's called the First Amendment, you stupid libtards,

#8. I am losing faith in this generation of libtards. It seems that the more liberal the generation, the dumber that this country is becoming.

Don't get me wrong, there are some liberal ideas I support. Using tax dollars to rebuild aging infrastructure and protecting the environment are two examples. Also, I get how trickle-down economics is ideally supposed to work, but I think that it doesn't always work that way. Other than that, the Democratic Party is not good for the African American community. They preach of reliance on the government instead of working for what you want, and unfortunately, the people of my race have followed these teachings to a tee. No wonder that 39% of all welfare recipients are from my race, a race that only constitutes 13% of the population of this country! The Republican Party stands for how the American Dream used to be accomplished: through hard work and dedication. Now, my generation of libtards is set to further damage the greatest country in the world. How come more black people, and people in general, vote for the Republican Party?

I am a 17 year old high school senior. I am 6'1" and at last check, 277 pounds. I hate the fact that I am so overweight. I have a stomach that bulges and man boobs (the worst part about being so fat). I want to lose weight to increase my attractiveness to females. I do flirt with and hang around girls, but let's be honest, girls want a nice muscular guy, not some fat dude with b-cup sized man boobs. This is especially true since I'll be going to college soon. Here are some of the reasons why I have trouble loosing weight:

1.) I don't know where to start with dieting

2.) I set the alarm clock to wake me up early but almost always end up pushing the snooze button

3.) I don't know what exercises I should be doing involving weights

My college plan is to go to a community college and then eventually transfer to either Penn State or Maryland. So if I start working out and dieting with more intensity this summer, and continue it throughout the two years I'll be in community college, can I be at a healthy weight? And is it possible to even be ripped by that time?

Additionally, I've been fat for most of my life. I fear that one day I may come down with hypertension or even diabetes, especially since my grandfather has diabetes. If I lose weight now, would I still have a high risk of coming down with either of the two aforementioned illnesses?

Is it gay for a guy to like that song? I'm really starting to like it

1. Philadelphia Freedom (also my all-time favorite song)

2. Rocket Man

3. Crocodile Rock

4. Bennie and the Jets

5. Somebody Saved My Life Tonight

When I was a little kid living in West Philadelphia, I enjoyed rap artists such as Chris Brown, Bobby Valentino, DJ Webstar, Lil Mama, Keyshia Cole, and much more. As I became a teen, I totally ditched rap for rock, dubstep, and a little bit of country. Now, as a 17 year old, I have started to ease back into rap, but not the rap of this decade. I enjoy 80's rap from artists such as Biz Markie, Rob Base, the Sugar Hill Gang, Keith Sweat, and Salt n' Peppa. I listen to 80's rap because I can't stand the artists of today such as Lil Wayne, Macklemore, Trinidad James, Drake, Meek Mill, and all the other crappy artists of today. Do you think that rap is going downhill? What decade was the best decade for rap?

I am a 17 year old high school student. I am 6'1 and I weigh between 270> and <280 pounds, and I am a male. Despite my weight, I stay active. The problem that has been plaguing me for about six weeks now is a chronic cough. Before the onset of the cough, I was spitting out mucous for about two-three weeks. Then came the cough. For the first two-three weeks, the cough was very dry. Now, within the last week, the symptoms have become significantly worse. I now suffer from debilitating coughing spells that have reached a new record today at over a minute. They also take literally ALL the energy out of my body. I also now suffer from the chills. Today, I went to the nurse, but she said that my temperature was 99 degrees and that there was nothing in my lungs. Despite her conclusion, I don't think this is the flu. I have had the flu, but no flu has ever felt like this before. So what do you think I have?

P.S. Here's some additional info:

1. My calf muscles in my right leg have been tensing up on me today.

2. During my Sophomore year of high school, my school was subject to a Tuberculosis outbreak. I was not found to be infected at the time.

I like to watch Fox news because they favor Republicans over libtards. What's wrong with that? The libtarded MSNBC is much worse! And on top of that, AL SHARPTON has his own show on the network, and he is much, much worse than Rush Limbaugh. I am a black male and I do not need Al Sharpton to speak on my behalf

Ever since I was a small kid, I have dreamed of being an airline pilot. Up until the middle of my sophomore year of high school, that was my career goal. But after doing extensive research into the field of aviation and due to my attendance of the National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine, my career goals changed drastically. Now as a senior in high school, I want to be a neurosurgeon. Still, my heart is telling me aviation is the right path for me. However, my brain is warning me of the risks of a career in aviation such as prolonged furlough and unemployment. What would you do if you were me? Would you chase your dream in the unpredictable field of commercial aviation, or would you take the more practical approach of attending college, in its honors program, in the hopes of becoming a doctor?

-How come pro-choice women think that they have the "right" to take the life of an unborn fetus/zygote?

-How come the main pro-choice argument is that a fetus/zygote is just a "group of cells" when, in fact, a cell is the simplest form of life?

-How come pro-choice women tend to think that the unborn fetus/zygote doesn't have a "right" like pro-choice women claim they do?

-How come women complain that men are trying to "control their bodies" when women don't try to pro-actively get female candidates elected to office, or even run for office themselves?

-How come some women believe that it's ok for a woman to hit a man, but it's totally unacceptable for a man to hit a woman?

There are three songs at the moment that I can't stop listening to: Good Time, Fireflies, and Call Me Maybe.

Good Time: When I first heard this song, I was driving somewhere (That means that it had to be sometime in August since that's when I acquired my license). I instantly fell in love with it! Now that it's on my iPod, it's probably my most played song! It's not my all time favorite song (Philadelphia Freedom by Elton John is), it's definitely in the top 10. I usually play this song 2-3 times a day, but on days like today, I can play it upwards of 4-6 times! My friends call me gay for liking this song, but I don't care! I absolutely love this song!

Fireflies: This song was introduced to me by a good friend of mine. Like Good Time, I instantly fell in love with this song. People don't usually call me gay for liking this song, but a few have.

Call Me Maybe: At first, I despised this song; however, as I acquired my license and began driving, I realized that this song is very catchy and really good driving music. A ton of people call me gay for liking this song.

So is it gay for a guy to like these songs?

For me, they would be "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen, "Interstate Love Song" by the Stone Temple Pilots, and "Philadelphia Freedom" by Elton John!

About a month ago, I asked my best friend from another school to my senior prom and she said yes. Well tonight, I asked her if she still wants to go since I would be the only person she would know and she said that it would be best if I went with somebody else :( The options that I have now are: Ask my best friend to reconsider, ask a senior, ask a junior, or ask somebody from another school. After doing a lot of thinking, I realized that I have a lot of friends in the senior class, but none that I'm really close to. I have a ton of junior friends as well, a few of which asked me last year to take them to this year's prom. And finally, I could very well get somebody from another school to go with me, but it would be just as awkward for them as it would be for my best friend. What would you do if you were in my shoes? I wanted to ask my best friend out since sophomore year, but now I most likely have to find somebody else.

I'm a popular senior who hangs out with a ton of underclassmen, especially freshmen. I'm pretty well known around school since I won Homecoming King, but instead of hanging out with people of my class year, which I could do, I have this desire to hang out with freshmen. I suspect that this stems from the fact that I attended my current school for my freshman year, transferred out sophomore year, and transferred back in junior year until present. Also, I think that it's because I love giving out advice about things they will encounter later on in life like college apps, the driver's test, SAT's, etc. Is this normal behavior?

I am a 17 year old senior from Pennsylvania. It's sort of weird that I'm a Republican since I'm black and from Philadelphia...so yeah xD Here is what I would try to do as Governor of my great state:

-Impose stricter standards on state-issued entitlement programs, especially welfare, food stamps, and Medicade. I would want a drug test, mental health screening, and an explanation from the recipient on how he/she will spend the state-issued money. Also, I would want to shorten the time in which said benefits can be received.

-Spend more money on the educational system, especially expenditures such as requiring foreign language to be taught in the younger grades, greater emphasis on STEM fields, and investing in our colleges, including state-owned universities (IUP, Kutztown, West Chester), state-related universities (Penn State, Temple, Pitt), community colleges, and technical schools.

-Try to amend the state constitution, defining marriage as between a man and a woman.

-Spend money on Philadelphia and Pittsburgh to attract new tourists. Being a resident of Philadelphia, I believe that either Philly International should expand, or that there should be another international airport either in the Philly area, South Jersey, or Northern Delaware

-Support the dredging of the Delaware river in order to bring in more ship traffic to Philadelphia

Would you vote for me?

When I was a sophomore back in 2010, I was forced to switch high schools. Three months later in November, I had found my best friend. She was extremely beautiful and we had a lot in common. As the months went on, I started to suspect that she might have a crush on me. For one, she would hug me every morning before homeroom. I didn't think too much of it; however, the next sign was telling. After homeroom was Spanish, which we had together. After we would both complete our tests/quizzes/assignments, I would usually put my head down. Soon after, she would lay her head on my shoulders. I got to admit, I loved it haha! She would also try to make me picture what it would be like if we ever got married. And finally, at the end of the year, she tried to get me to touch her butt twice. I didn't want to ask her out back then in the fear that if I did ask her out and she said no then it would make our friendship. Looking back, I wish I did ask her out. So do you think that she may have had a crush on me? I think she did.

So last week, I took my best friend out to the movies. Since I had switched schools, I hadn't seen her for about 1 and a half years up until last Saturday. After walking her to her door and hugging her, I finally gained enough courage to ask her out to my senior prom...and she accepted! This is great because I like her and I have a feeling she liked me back during my sophomore year. But one thing she said that I didn't pay attention to at that moment has me thinking now: "It would be awkward." It would be because she doesn't know anybody at my school except me. I am a popular guy, so it's not like I can't get a table or anything, it's just that she won't have anybody else to talk to if she doesn't introduce herself to my friends. Would you take her if you were me? She's extremely beautiful and the girl that I currently like.

How come they like to hide the fact that they are nothing more than lazy, religion hating, gun opposed, entitlement minded, flag burning, weed supporting, racist, baby killers? They claim that they are the party of free speech and ideas, yet they look down upon anyone who has religious beliefs. How come they claim that they claim that they are so patriotic, yet they support people who burn the American flag on American soil? This party is so backwards and barbaric! It seems as though they are hellbent turning America into a shythole. For God's sake, they support killing unborn fetuses, reverse racism, idiots who do illicit drugs, and violating our Second Amendment rights by taking away our guns; furthermore, they want to turn the U.S. into a welfare state. What I hate even more is their campaign against free speech called "political correctness." I REFUSE to call myself a first-year student as opposed to a "freshman" just because some libtards think it may be "offensive." I'm doing my part to save America by registering as a Republican when I turn 18 in a few months. Those libtards also hate me because I'm a BLACK conservative, something that they just can't stand. So how come libtards try to hide their TRUE identities?

P.S. America has been increasingly liberal since the 1960's. My generation is an example of the damage done by libtards

These schools are my two biggest reaches. Please chance me with your honest opinions. Finally, no douchebaggery please!
