[11:10]  Shanka SMSTrekker: tummy
[11:10]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Yeah, and most can’t get out of debt
[11:10]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: for a loooong time

[11:10]  Joella SMSTrekker: yea and without a fixed amount they can spend a ton and get into alot of trouble
[11:10]  Centes SMSTrekker: teens should have a credit if they have a job that can pay the credit card bill
[11:10]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: what if their cars break down and they need a place to stay and food for theior tummioes

[11:11]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: They have to watch what they spend on it though
[11:11]  Kythera SMSTrekker: also most kids dont hav a job that could pay huge credit card bills
[11:11]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Most aren’t that bright
[11:11]  Stateira SMSTrekker: and if you lose cash, thats it, its gone. but if you lose a credit card, you can call your carrier andcancel your account so you arent charged with purchases youdidnt make
[11:11]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: true

[11:11]  Stateira SMSTrekker: mhmm(:
[11:11]  Centes SMSTrekker: This convo is intense
[11:11]  Kythera SMSTrekker: in sum ways thats ok but stil….
[11:11]  Shanka SMSTrekker: double a is very irrespnsible and i cant

c him have the responisbility to have a credit card
[11:12]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: credit cards are a symbol of responibility and teens need to feel good bout themselves
[11:12]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: TOP IT
[11:12]  Kythera SMSTrekker: but…would a kid feel good if they went

into debt?
[11:12]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: It’s irresponsable to give them that “reponsibility” Harrison
[11:12]  Joella SMSTrekker: teens may feel goood but they will relize they spent more money with a credit card then they could of with cash
[11:12]  Stateira SMSTrekker: well never mind feeling good, what happens if theres an emergencey and you dont have any money on you?

[11:13]  Centes SMSTrekker: Credit cards are something someone with trust can only handle
[11:13]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: but they will feel responsible and try not to get into debt
[11:13]  Joella SMSTrekker: then how about debit cards in case of emergencies. that way its money they have
[11:13]  Kythera SMSTrekker: yeah but wat if they make a huge mistake
[11:13]  Shanka SMSTrekker: umm i like money

[11:14]  Stateira SMSTrekker: well if they make a mistake, they’ll have tofix it. theyget a learning experianceout of it
[11:14]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: then they are in trouble but credit cards are important for teens
[11:14]  Kythera SMSTrekker: yeah but do you like money y

ou have to bac w/ interest?
[11:14]  Joella SMSTrekker: yea but th

eir credit score will be bad and then they will end up paying more because of the higher interest
[11:14]  Centes SMSTrekker: Credit cards these days are the safe way to keep money
[11:14]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: thats great5 double a
[11:14]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Don’t forget those high interest rates….. o_O
[11:14]  Kythera SMSTrekker: so r debit cards
[11:14]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Debit is b

etter.
[11:15]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: It’s safer
[11:15]  Kythera SMSTrekker: thank u!!
[11:15]  Shanka SMSTrekker: credit cards get kids into debt b.e they charge such high interest rates and kids think they r cool b.e they have it and think they r rich when they arent
[11:15]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Exactly Shanka
[11:15]  Joella SMSTrekker: safe and c

onvienent yes but more dangerous. and credit cards could cost you alot of money
[11:15]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: yes but the longer they have credit cards the more expierenced they become and then they will have a better credit score
[11:15]  Kythera SMSTrekker: very tru…thx shanka
[11:15]  Stateira SMSTrekker: actually

, teens w/ credit cards qualify for favorable interests on allll types of loans
[11:15]  Centes SMSTrekker: teens have other options like having a low credit limit
[11:15]  Shanka SMSTrekker: cash is

like a bank account r the safest and credit cards are like stocks very risky

[11:15]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: not if they use them right
[11:15]  Stateira SMSTrekker: not necessarily
[11:16]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: But teens often don’t
[11:16]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: well no

w they are educated
[11:16]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: They don’t have the minds of adults yet
[11:16]  Stateira SMSTrekker: if they have a fixed limit on the credit card, they cant get into debt
[11:16]  Joella SMSTrekker: teens often go on a spending spree and then they are up to their ears with debt
[11:16]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: agree

d
[11:16]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: wit stat
[11:16]  Centes SMSTrekker: Shanka do u feel teens shouldnt have crredit cards b/c most teens relay on parents for money
[11:16]  Shanka SMSTrekker: yes s

o let the adults keep the credit cards and let kids borrow it when they need to

[11:17]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: You can still overspend thou

gh, right?
[11:17]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: With fixed credit
[11:17]  Kythera SMSTrekker: if teens make mistakes with their credit card….the lower their credit score and reduce the ability 2 obtain credit
[11:17]  Shanka SMSTrekker: no how
[11:17]  Joella SMSTrekker: but credit c

ards don’t have limits. they are limitless amount of money and this would lead to you owing alot of money
[11:17]  Kythera SMSTrekker: tru
[11:17]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: veru tru

[11:17]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: *very
[11:17]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: some jobs require credit cards in order to qualify
[11:17]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Jobs for teens?
[11:17]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: and same with loans
[11:17]  Stateira SMSTrekker: if teens can

maintain a good credit history, you’ll obtain lower auto and homeowners insurance premiums
[11:17]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: yes

[11:17]  Kythera SMSTrekker: yeah…4 teens?…i dont think so
[11:18]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Liike what?
[11:18]  Stateira SMSTrekker: so you can actually save money with credit cards
[11:18]  Joella SMSTrekker: yea but it

is harder to get loans if you have a bad credit history
[11:18]  Shanka SMSTrekker: yes so kids should just be trusted with money (cash) and let kids use credit cards from their parents when they

REALLY need it like we said before kids dont have adult minds yet
[11:18]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: like if they want a college loan or a car loan
[11:18]  Centes SMSTrekker: Zerlin do u believe that a parent should have trust in there child even if there irresponsible
[11:18]  Kythera SMSTrekker: but we r tlakin bout kids our age….
[11:18]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: tell the

m
[11:18]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: no not really
[11:19]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Why shou

ld they trust them?
[11:19]  Kythera SMSTrekker: i wouldnt
[11:19]  Shanka SMSTrekker: i disagree
[11:19]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: ok
[11:19]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Cassy will represent the disagree
[11:19]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Or Shanka
[11:19]  Kythera SMSTrekker: yeah!!

!!
[11:19]  Stateira SMSTrekker: well they should be given a spending limit in the beginning, but as they get older they get more respnsiblee
[11:20]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Doesn’t mean they won’t overspend
[11:20]  Kythera SMSTrekker: tahts

tru…but kids our age want 2 spend
[11:20]  Stateira SMSTrekker: yes it does
[11:20]  Shanka SMSTrekker: actually cassy can take stand
[11:20]  Stateira SMSTrekker: if theyre given aspending limit, they CANT go over it
[11:20]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: In conclusion, we feel that teens should have credit cards becuase if they get into an emergency like if their car breaks down, they need to buy food, a hotel room and maybe pay for the car to get fixed and they dont carr

y around cash like that
[11:20]  Joella SMSTrekker: in conclusion we believe that kids should not have credit cards because they can get into a lot of debt, sometimes they are irresponisble, they might go on a spending spree and they will have bad credit history so they won’t be able to get loans in the future.
[11:20]  Stateira SMSTrekker: cant**
[11:21]  Shanka SMSTrekker: pyrhha plz spell right
[11:21]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: als

o it will give them expierence with credit cards and bills for the future
[11:21]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: Are we done?
[11:21]  Stateira SMSTrekker: y

epp
[11:21]  Kythera SMSTrekker: no wait
[11:21]  Shanka SMSTrekker: nice job everyone
[11:21]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: ye

ah nice job
[11:21]  Kythera SMSTrekker: stopp wait
[11:22]  Joella SMSTrekker: and are we really that resbonsible?? sometimes moeny is indespensible to us because our parents could just pay for us. those aren’t the kind of peop,e who sdould have a credit card
[11:22]  Pyrrha SMSTrekker: k
[11:22]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: should we stop now?
[11:22]  Shanka SMSTrekker: yes

s
[11:22]  Zerlin SMSTrekker: ok
[11:22]  Kythera SMSTrekker: sure
[11:26]  Platform-Five whispers: Platform-Five now descending.
[11:26]  Stateira SMSTrekker: well…that wasfun…

The topic for the 8th grade class debate was whether or not teens should be allowed to have credit cards.

[10:07]  Nora SMSTrekker: yes i do

[10:07]  Bondia SMSTrekker: they would spend o much money nd not pay it back

[10:07]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: why do u think teens should have credit cards titania

[10:07]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: or anyone

[10:07]  Titania SMSTrekker: responobility

[10:08]  Bondia SMSTrekker: teens dont have much resposibleity…..

[10:08]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: what about responsibility

[10:08]  Titania SMSTrekker: u dont know that

[10:08]  Nora SMSTrekker: they can be responsible if you make them pay

[10:08]  Bondia SMSTrekker: noooo cause they dont have a job so they cant pay it back

[10:08]  Euphemia SMSTrekker: they shouldnt have credit cards

[10:08]  Titania SMSTrekker: it will teach them resposoblitiy

[10:08]  Bandusia SMSTrekker: i think that young adults such as teens should not have credit cards bc of the financhal slop . if adulst with a greater income can not pay off a bill how can a teen?

[10:09]  Bandusia SMSTrekker: no bc they arent responsible

[10:09]  Bondia SMSTrekker: but teens dont have money like parents do

[10:09]  Nora SMSTrekker: it depends on the teen

[10:10]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: money is earned with responsibility. you wouldnt give a teen $3,000 in cash. whats the differencce

[10:10]  Nora SMSTrekker: no difference it depends on the person

[10:10]  Titania SMSTrekker: they could be not every teen is irrresponsible

[10:10]  Bondia SMSTrekker: its more for credit cards

[10:10]  Bandusia SMSTrekker: bc if the teen is given a credit card and spends so much they cant pay it off the bill is going to be increased or the parenst will be paying for it

[10:10]  Euphemia SMSTrekker: yes

[10:10]  Bondia SMSTrekker: no

[10:10]  Euphemia SMSTrekker: ok

[10:10]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: Teens must learn that credit is expensive and that they will end up spending much more money on item that they would otherwise need because of interest.( Randy Scott helium.com)

[10:11]  Xenia SMSTrekker: but sometimes if you make mistakes with your credit card your interest rate can increase and then you have to pay more money in the end

[10:11]  Alesana SMSTrekker: yes

[10:11]  Renate SMSTrekker: yes but some teens get into sucj bad debt that they wil be like 60 by the time its all paid off so over that time they rnt going to buy anthing else anyway so even if they learn the lessinb they wont use it

[10:11]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: well if the parents know that the teen is responsible enuf 2 hav 1 then they can giv them 1

[10:11]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: yea

[10:11]  Alesana SMSTrekker: its to big of a responsibility for a teen

[10:12]  Brangane SMSTrekker: no matter how responsible they are, they need to be an adult, mature. And if they get a credit card, and lets say they loose it. it takes a while to pay it off

[10:12]  Bandusia SMSTrekker: u to

[10:13]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: no interst

[10:13]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: interest*

[10:13]  Titania SMSTrekker: yes but its new to them so they will make mistakes

[10:13]  Bondia SMSTrekker: no

[10:13]  Euphemia SMSTrekker: yeah thats true

[10:13]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: $6,000 mistakes

[10:13]  Nora SMSTrekker: thay will but as long as thay are not drastic

[10:13]  Titania SMSTrekker: so

[10:13]  Bandusia SMSTrekker: the avrige debt for the american is 20000 $ imagin the avrige if teens had that

[10:13]  Titania SMSTrekker: omgz thats lots

[10:13]  Nora SMSTrekker: so

[10:14]  Metcalfia SMSTrekker: its the average debt of a college grad without tuition or car is $6,000

[10:14]  Titania SMSTrekker: so so

[10:14]  Nora SMSTrekker: how old r they

[10:14]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: well you have to b the one that makes the right choice we all no right from wrong

[10:14]  Brangane SMSTrekker: yes but its yerresponsibility

[10:14]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: well then those parents hav their own problems anyway

[10:14]  Leonora SMSTrekker: because they think that you can handle the freedom

[10:14]  Alesana SMSTrekker: it is the parents fault but its not completely

[10:14]  Xenia SMSTrekker: well if you dont have a job you shouldnt have one because your nnot earning anything just spending

[10:14]  Renate SMSTrekker: just b/c u KNOW right from wrong doesnt mean u will DO wats right

[10:15]  Alesana SMSTrekker: yes

[10:15]  Brangane SMSTrekker: but stillits YOUR responsibility, if you really think that you could handle it, thats your problem but if you loose it, dont blame anyone but yourself.

[10:15]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: you learn from your mistakes

[10:15]  Cava SMSTrekker: exactley

[10:15]  Xenia SMSTrekker: yeah you will stillspend money no matter what. even if you are responsible

[10:15]  Brangane SMSTrekker: but you wouldnt make mistakes if you choose the right desicion

[10:15]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: ok but they are still alowed 2 hav one, its not like its against the law

[10:15]  Alesana SMSTrekker: but u shoodnt want to make a huge mistake like that

[10:15]  Renate SMSTrekker: ur rght b4 u spend anything u shud have an incmoe

[10:16]  Alesana SMSTrekker: you shouldnt have to lean the hard way

[10:16]  Brangane SMSTrekker: exactly

[10:16]  Renate SMSTrekker: y shud they have 1 just b/c its not agantst the law doesnt mean they can handle it

[10:16]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: ok well then parents shud giv RESPONSIBLE kids credit cards

[10:16]  Cava SMSTrekker: why even have a cc anyway it just makes you take advantage

[10:16]  Leonora SMSTrekker: thats the only way you learn though

[10:16]  Alesana SMSTrekker: thats why when yyour a mature adult you should have a credt card

[10:16]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: and MATURE kids

[10:16]  Brangane SMSTrekker: yes i agrede

[10:16]  Xenia SMSTrekker: yeah and why would you want to spend so much money inthe end if you got things that you dont really even need

[10:16]  Brangane SMSTrekker: but adults are much more mature then kids

[10:16]  Brangane SMSTrekker: comeonm

[10:17]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: you should b mature but if your not mature mayb it can teach them a lesson to b mature

[10:17]  Renate SMSTrekker: sometimes though people can make the same mistake over and over again and not learn the lesson wat about those people

[10:17]  Renate SMSTrekker: they’ll never learn

[10:17]  Alesana SMSTrekker: thats a very hard lesson

[10:17]  Alesana SMSTrekker: you shouldnt have to leanr that way

[10:17]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: but if they are paying the amout they will learn

[10:17]  Renate SMSTrekker: and even if u lear the lesson its eaiser sed then done

[10:17]  Alesana SMSTrekker: theyre other ways of learning that dont cause u debt

[10:17]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: well if they get in very bad debt, dont u think theyll be smart enuf not 2 do t again cuz they know the consequences

[10:18]  Cava SMSTrekker: yes

[10:18]  Cava SMSTrekker: yes

[10:18]  Brangane SMSTrekker: listen, i think that no matter how mature u are, its for ADULTS not teens. teens are sure to loose the credit card. IT TAKES SOOOLONG TO PAY IT OFF

[10:18]  Alesana SMSTrekker: yes!

[10:18]  Brangane SMSTrekker: yeah(:

[10:21]  Brangane SMSTrekker: exactly

[10:21]  Renate SMSTrekker: xactly many parent wudnt

[10:21]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: not evry1 in the world always goes in2 debt

[10:21]  Jess SMSTrekker: credit cards are bad for kids

[10:21]  Alesana SMSTrekker: they r

[10:21]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: then they wudnt hav ccs 4 any1

[10:21]  Renate SMSTrekker: it just doesnt make sence 4 them 2 have 1 its not nessacary

[10:21]  Brangane SMSTrekker: they are bad

[10:21]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: we r not talking about kids we r talking about teens

[10:22]  Xenia SMSTrekker: yeahh its really a waste of money to give an irresponsible teen a credit card

[10:22]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: i think we all know that

[10:22]  Alesana SMSTrekker: yes

[10:22]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: its bout teens

[10:22]  Renate SMSTrekker: same thine teens kids we’re not talkiing abut 6 year olds

[10:22]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: no its not a waste of time if you learn a lesson\

[10:22]  Leonora SMSTrekker: they should have ccs because if thye dont go into debt as a teen you probably will as an adult’

[10:22]  Cava SMSTrekker: and adults

[10:22]  Renate SMSTrekker: if thats wat u mean

[10:22]  Brangane SMSTrekker: okay but it rlly is a waste of money, if your going to want a credit card, why would you pay MORE money on yourself when your parent has one?

[10:22]  Alesana SMSTrekker: most teens will only spend it on luxury items

[10:22]  Cava SMSTrekker: yea why not use cash

[10:23]  Platform-Four: You have been paged by Bondia SMSTrekker on Platform-Four

[10:23]  Brangane SMSTrekker: obviouslythey have the money for you. so no need for a credit card, just use cash

[10:23]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: even adults go in2 debt so its the same 4 adults so do u think adults shudnt hav ccs either??

[10:23]  Jess SMSTrekker: not all ppl are going to be in debt

[10:23]  Renate SMSTrekker: eacly teens dont need CC it just is an unnessacry risk

[10:23]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: yea you havea point

[10:23]  Brangane SMSTrekker: exactly

[10:23]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: yea they do

[10:23]  Xenia SMSTrekker: yeah and then youend up buying what you want and you buy to much

[10:23]  Alesana SMSTrekker: most TEENS will be

[10:23]  Jess SMSTrekker: not really

[10:23]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: and wat about adults 2??

[10:23]  Brangane SMSTrekker: teens will take advantage and buy NEEDLESS things on a cc

[10:23]  Renate SMSTrekker: yea adults go into debt but it will be even worse wuth teens

[10:23]  Xenia SMSTrekker: yeah teens should use cash not credit cards

[10:23]  Zwetana SMSTrekker: did u learn about sumthin called the great depression

[10:23]  Lindemannia SMSTrekker: adults can b as bad as teens

[10:24]  Jess SMSTrekker: true

[10:24]  Alesana SMSTrekker: yes they can

[10:24]  Cava SMSTrekker: very

POD 2
[8:03]  Platform-Two whispers: Platform-Two now ascending.

[8:04]  Lei Hillburn: Hello will

[8:04]  Lei Hillburn: We are here today to discuss tv food advertising.

[8:04]  Quachita Hillburn: hi

[8:04]  Arkansas Hillburn: i agree that tv influences a child’s diet

[8:04]  Lei Hillburn: i disagre

[8:05]  Quachita Hillburn: i agree

[8:05]  Banalore Hillburn: I also agree that tv influences a childs food choices

[8:05]  Lei Hillburn: what about you banalore

[8:05]  Lei Hillburn: The adds don’t buy the products for the kids

[8:05]  Arkansas Hillburn: Children see about 4,000 to 6,000 tv ads a year, and 4,000 of them are about junk food

[8:05]  Lei Hillburn: no matter how hard they try : )

[8:06]  Banalore Hillburn: some kids get addicted to tv and cannot stop

[8:06]  Quachita Hillburn: true also obisiti comes in

[8:06]  Lei Hillburn: Parents are the ones with the final decision

[8:07]  Banalore Hillburn: yah, an tv makes kids think that the food is cool with enjoying music and funny characters

[8:07]  Lei Hillburn: so its there decision on what they buy for thier children

[8:07]  Quachita Hillburn: it comes in because kid just sit and wach tv and body fat stores

[8:07]  Arkansas Hillburn: well sometimes parents don’t let them buy products but there are patterns in purchasing

[8:07]  Lei Hillburn: yes that’s where i’m coming from!

[8:07]  Quachita Hillburn: yes and its not right

[8:07]  Arkansas Hillburn: Most ads do not promote healthy foods

[8:07]  Lei Hillburn: no

[8:08]  Lei Hillburn: and the parents buy this stuff

[8:08]  Banalore Hillburn: some parents are not being as serious as they should be when it coms to food choices

[8:08]  Arkansas Hillburn: i never said that all ads do

[8:08]  Quachita Hillburn: parents should buy healthy food 4 them and not select non healthy

[8:08]  Lei Hillburn: and their not the ones who watch the advertising

[8:08]  Banalore Hillburn: yah they shood

[8:08]  Arkansas Hillburn: so it is kind of the parents fault

[8:08]  Lei Hillburn: exactly

[8:09]  Banalore Hillburn: yes, it’s the way they treat their children

[8:09]  Quachita Hillburn: true but u want 2 live long and by eating healthy it helps

[8:09]  Lei Hillburn: the parents buy it but don’t watch the adds so the adds don’t persuade them

[8:09]  Banalore Hillburn: yes it does

[8:09]  Banalore Hillburn: by doing that you will b strong and have more energy

[8:10]  Quachita Hillburn: yes you can play sports and have fun

[8:10]  Lei Hillburn: Although i agree that healthy foods should be more advertised

[8:10]  Banalore Hillburn: yes they shood more than junk food

[8:10]  Arkansas Hillburn: I think once a child sees a food ad on tv they crave that product

[8:10]  Quachita Hillburn: ya then kid will eat better

[8:11]  Landro Hillburn: hi im new im agree

[8:11]  Lei Hillburn: landro what position are you

[8:11]  Landro Hillburn: agree

[8:11]  Quachita Hillburn: so do u have any thind 2 say

[8:11]  Lei Hillburn: im really outnumbered here now

[8:11]  Landro Hillburn: yes

[8:11]  Lei Hillburn: go back and grab someone who’s disagree

[8:11]  Quachita Hillburn: then say ur mind

[8:12]  Lei Hillburn: but i can type faster than all of you in second life

[8:12]  Arkansas Hillburn: 90% of United States TV ads are about food. That there has to say something for itself

[8:12]  Lei Hillburn: lol this will be a tough battle

[8:12]  Landro Hillburn: ahh yea rite 

[8:12]  Landro Hillburn: w,e,

[8:13]  Lei Hillburn: but maybe the best diplomat

[8:13]  Banalore Hillburn: tv people try to convinice children so they cood get money

[8:13]  Lei Hillburn: win

[8:13]  Arkansas Hillburn: ya money is the big thing in ads

[8:13]  Lei Hillburn: but the parents buy the products without even watching the adds

[8:13]  Lei Hillburn: !!!

[8:13]  Banalore Hillburn: yep

[8:13]  Landro Hillburn: food safty and intervention postivly in fulenes colage kids

[8:14]  Quachita Hillburn: yes that is why people shold advertise healthy foods

[8:14]  Lei Hillburn: hmm

[8:14]  Lei Hillburn: sorry about that

[8:14]  Banalore Hillburn: well it influences more children becuz they watch tv a lot!!!!!

[8:14]  Landro Hillburn: food choices during teen years may influens canser risk later in lif

[8:15]  Landro Hillburn: ew

[8:15]  Arkansas Hillburn: parents should cut down on their child tv time

[8:15]  Landro Hillburn: i know rite

[8:15]  Banalore Hillburn: yes and make them go outside to get some energy

[8:15]  Lei Hillburn shouts: but the parents buy the products without watching the adds!!!

[8:15]  Arkansas Hillburn: that way there will not be a lot of unhealthy food products in there house

[8:15]  Quachita Hillburn: 4 en example the fruts they put when they say real fruit juice its true

[8:16]  Banalore Hillburn: yah and also they shood lower the amolunt of food they show on tv

[8:16]  Landro Hillburn: yes they should

[8:17]  Quachita Hillburn: yi think they shold lower the pice on healthy food and raise the price on non

[8:18]  Lei Hillburn: kids should know what food choices through shool and FACS

[8:18]  Banalore Hillburn: yes and reduce the amount of junk foods needed

[8:18]  Landro Hillburn: i donbt have anymore facts abotu this i only had 2

[8:18]  Quachita Hillburn: yes the shold also give more choices of healthy foods a schools

[8:18]  Banalore Hillburn: but their parents also need to try to tell them
