  1. being young:
    1. Im not old and rude/mean about everything
    2. Im not super slow and parrticular about everything
    3. I dont have wrinkles and a super boring day
    worst:
    1. I would like to have already started my life and get past all the nonsense
    2. You cannot drink liqiour or beer
    3. To much technonology and messed up generations

    I would go 10 years in advance and see where i was and if all my hardwork paid off and what i did with things. I would like to see if i had kids or was married yet. I want to see how i live my life as an adult and without the childish things i deal with now.

      The best thing about being young in this day in age I guess is child labor laws, movies, and songs. Bad things are that we have a bad government; everything corrupt is being called good, and the movie Twilight. I would go let’s say 1000 years in the future. I would like to see how good or how bad the world had become.

  2. The three best thing about being a young person today is not having to deal with finances, not having to deal with politics, and having a lot of energy. The three worst things about being a young person today is you have someone that you have to abide by, you have to go to school, and you cant finance anything alone.
    If I could go to one year in the past or present I would choose to go to 2020 to see where I am in life. I want to know if all my expectations were met and who stuck around for all of my accomplishments, or failures, and who left my side.

  3. The three worst about being a young person today are that we are made grow up faster. We are pushed into work and college. Times are different and a lot of things have changed. The three best things are that we have more responsibility, many options for style, and many forms of entertainment. If i could go back in the past i would love to visit the 50's. I love the culture and history the 50's brought.

  4. The three best things about being a young person today are new opportunities, modern technology, and modern advancements.
    The three worst things about being a young person today are the limitations on youth, others ruining how we are viewed, and how superficial the world has come.
    If I could choose to spend one year in the past or future, I would choose the past probably around 1900, but not quite the 1920’s –I do not want to live through the great depression. The 1900’s were quite interesting, inventions were popping up left and right and the world was just simpler.

  5. The three best things about being a young person today are the freedom we have been given, the ability to grow more knowledge using the new technology that has been created, and to be able to travel to other countries and places more easily. The three worst things about being a young person today are the effects of social media on younger generations, the environmental issues that the current generation is dealing with, and the negative effects that new technology has when it comes to privacy or security. If I could spend one year in the past or in the future, I would choose to visit the past during which we had prohibition laws and flappers.

  6. BEST
    1. The technology and gadgets that are constantly being invented.
    2. The amount of opportunities there are as a female.
    3. How I can access things easier, and therefore learn things faster.
    WORST:
    1. The decrease in available jobs in certain industries.
    2. The stereotype that we are all addicted to phones/self centered/etc.
    3. Amount of crime and violence/not as safe

    I would spend my year in 2100, because I would like to see how 100 years changed us. I would want to know if we had had a woman president, if our government had changed, and if we had gone to war with other people. I would also like to see how people dressed and what leisure activities had changed to.

  7. 3 best things
    -technology
    -life expectancy
    -advancements in some areas of the medical field
    3 worst things
    -social media
    -too many crime shows
    -that there is a pill for everything and you can get addicted to them easier.

    If I could go back in time for a year I would live in 1925. I would have to be in the upper-class so I could attend all of the flashy parties and wear the fun sassy dresses. Life would be a party and I would not have a care in the world.

  8. Being a young person means your young! You still have opportunity; as well as a future to PLAN for. Its sucks being young because you have to go through the trial and error process of life. You are just starting or getting started to make money so really your broke. I wish that I could go back to being 12 years old. You don’t have to worry about driving or insurance or really anything related to money.

  9. A couple things are is having the technology that we do today and how many opportunities’ that we have as well, we also have such a variety of fields to study in school and to get a degree in

    The difficulties of school and technology as well as dealing with figuring out how to be successful in life.

  10. 1) Technology, opportunities outside college after getting a degree, advancements in hospitals
    2) Unemployment, economy, weapon threats from foreign countries
    3) I would choose to visit the year after i graduate college to see if i accomplished everything I wanted to. If i did not, when i return to the present i would work harder to accomplish my goals.

  11. 1) One good thing about being a young person today is simply the fact that we have so much to look forward to in the future. Who knows what technology will come about? I find that very exciting!
    2) Another good thing about being a young person today is the fact that we are able to learn from our predecessors in order to shape a better future for us.
    3) And finally, a good thing about being young today is the amount of opportunities there are laid out for us. I would say that we are the generation with the most potential just because of the high quality of education that is available to us.

    1) One bad thing about being young today is perhaps the amount of unhealthy food. Food is no longer fresh and is canned or injected with hormones and chemicals in order to make it taste better or last longer.
    2) Another bad thing about being a young person today is our reputation. The younger generation's reputation today isn't exactly very good, and that will be hard to break out of the mold.
    3) Today's young generation seems to be disgraced by technology, and I know that I am guilty of this.

    I would spend the one year during the Roman times, I find those times very fascinating and would love to experience them firsthand.

  12. There are many advantages to being a young person today.My first reason is the advantages of living in the digital age.Tthe digital age has allowed us to make and maintain an incredible network of peole connections.Second, the amount of resources most of us have at our dispoosal is unreal. The last thing I think is great about being young today is the amount of music accesible.The internet gives us the opportunity to hear and acces music that we may not be able to otherwise.
    The 3 worst things about young person today are as follows. We live in a society that revolves arouhnd technology.Although technology can be good, most people have come to be completely reliant on it. I believe that it has taken away some of the basic human instincts people had before technology.Next, today's society has over promoted the "rat race." Many people leave morals and things that they have learned behind in pursuit of money. It's all about how mcuh one makes and what material things one can buy. Last, ,most of the modern music we hear will not stand the test of time.We have things like autotune, and computer production programs that can fix imperfections in music. Alot of today's musicians are only popular because they have a marketing team to write hit songs for them.Musicians from before 1980 had to play their intruments and had nothing to rely on but their own talent.If I could spend one year in the past or future, it would be the past.I would probably go back to 1969.The late 60's and early 70's had so many great muscians of that time from Led Zeppelin to Miles Davis. It would have been really awesome to be back in tat era when music was truly evolving.I choose 1969 so I could check out Woosdstock and Wat ch Jimi Hendrix perform.

    1. Being a women there are many great things growing up in today society. First and for the most important thing is that we, women, have the same rights as men have. Marriage is no longer arranged by our family, and we can speak up our mind without being judged to drastically. And of course there is technology that greatly helps us to enjoy life more. Three worst things are that people forget to family ruts. There are too disconnected from our grandparent’s traditions. There are oriented too much for success and money and don’t spent quality time with their family and friends. We have many virtual friends rather than real friends.

  14. The three best things about being a young person today is that:

    1. Most kids have more "enlightened" (ie cool) parents whereas in previous generations there was a bigger gap between kids and parents.

    2. Young people (and older) are able to keep in touch with others much easier than previous generations. This makes for more lasting relationships.

    3. Kids are more encouraged to do things than ever before such as play sports, go to college, enjoy their friends, and enjoy life.

    The three worst things about being a young person today is:
    1. There seems to be less belief in the "American Dream".

    2. There is so much substance abuse among youths. Babies are being born drug addicted to young mothers and young men aren't taking responsibility for the children they spawn as often as in previous generations.

    3. There seems to be more pressure to be beautiful, smart, excel in sports etc.

    I would want to go back in time and live in America before the white man came.
