 * An issue that i think is important is the food being served at schools and in vending machines. Yes we are kids, and we like to snack at times but many American citezins are now being classified as obbese. I think vending machines need to be removed in schools, or filled with healthier choices. Now i am not saying fill it with fruits and vegetables, but foods that will appeal to kids such as lower calorie snacks. Also i think school lunches need to be made bit healthier. They can still cook the same mneals, just limit the choice of junk food snacks. Americans are overweight and people need help.**

 * Another issue that came to my attention is after many school shootings many schools still do ot have security cameras or security. Schools should really have metal detectors or some other device to make sure kids arent bringing in any weapons or items to potentially hurt other students. After all the shootings in the past and many things in the news I feel it is crazy not to have some sort of security system. I think something needs to be done about this and every school should have security to keep all students and teachers safe. This is a major issue and some schools aren't taking it very seriously. After the Chardon incident, and it making world news, i honestly think this issue is even bigger. Parents are scared to send their kids to school because of the dangers. This is serious, and the government should do something to keep everyone safe.**

 * Yet another issue that comes too my attention is cyber bullying. Teen suicide rates have gone up in the last vouple of years due to cyberbullying. When is society going to realize that the things we say to others can seriously affect someone. I think we need to take a stand against cyber bullying, and put it to an end. A few wats t stop cyber bullying is to get the government involved. We need to have congress pass a law making cyber bullying illegal. We are loosing to many of our youth due to he things said online.**

**President endorsment****:** Barack Obama. I agree with most of Obama's statements. I am alos part of the Democratic party. I feel like Obama has the same opinions on things that i do such as gay marriages and cyber bullying. []

**My Bill**: In this bill I hope to end cyber bullying. When is America going to realize that cyber bullying is not okay. I hope to end it for good. In my bill I will punish anyone that is part of the problem, and they will be held accountable for what they say. I think social netowrking is a great thing, but peoples comments need to be monitored. The things people say on the internet are unacceptable, and I wish to end it. Also I think the governmet needs to get involved. A bill must be passed to stop cyber bullying, and make it illegal. SB2
