Write a narrative essay of two hundred words that ends with had I know<br>​
QveST [7]
One time I was walking down Town and I could feel the wind in the trees in the breeze and suddenly I hear a sound I couldn’t quite put my mind on what the sound was but I knew that the sound was familiar. I ended up walking home after hearing that sound it made me uncomfortable but I know I heard it before. The sound was a high-pitched bell so that night I went home and told my mom about the sound she said you probably just heard something from the park down the street but I knew that sound, it was from when I was little. So I slept on it and then I remembered the sound was from the mill pond which is a park that I went to visit on vacation it has a musical section and I used to always play with those every time I would go to that park on vacation. when I heard that sound it just brought back so many memories. I could feel the high-pitched music note go through my body and trigger all the memories from when I was younger, and it just made me so happy and it made me realize that I may have grown-up a lot but the little kid that I grew up with is still in me and the memories will never go away.

Why do you think people in middle and high school are so critical of what others do and appear? What’s the solution?
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

I think we are raised to be this way. With our parents actions, and all the media, it is very easy for us to be influenced. there is also many body standards which is a huge problem. From a young age we are taught what is pretty, and what is "not". And there is always adult influence who will complain abt themselves, getting it into your mind that that's bad. then when we see peers, we are insecure abt ourselves, and are quick to judge them. just to bring ourselves up. the solution would to be more accepting of everyone, and to abolish body standards.
