Debit cards

So, I've been thinking a lot lately. I mean, I usually think a lot, but I guess I've had more thoughts recently. But one things for sure, I definitely don't think about things most teens think about.  I've been thinking about debit cards.  Now, I currently have a debit card, and when I first learned about debit cards, I thought they were a great idea. Not only would I be able to manage my own money, I could have my own cash card, and I would be responsible for every penny I spent. So I asked my mum and she agrees that there are pros and cons of leaving a kid responsible for a debit card, and so, today, I'm here to explain to you about debit cards and why or why not you should leave a child responsible for one (from a teens perspective)

Pros:
Debit cards can teach kids how to manage money (making sure they're not overspending)
The exhilarating feeling of independence (liked riding a roller coaster, BUT BETTER)
Prepares children for the future

Cons:
Easy to lose
A hassle
Debit cards often come with additional costs, it might have been cheaper to just use cash. (This is dependant on what your debit card carriers policies are.)

So what do you guys think?

Korean Dramas YASSSS

This past summer, I spent most of my time watching Korean dramas, I was feeling pretty introverted a lot of the time and preferred to spend time with my Korean BOYS <3. So Imma rant about some of my favourite dramas so that future me can watch these and cry like present me has just done. (These are not in a particular order.) To the beautiful you: It basically features an AMAZINGLY CUTE GUY called Choi Min Ho and wow his face was pretty good looking I must say. ;) There are some moments that are so cringe worthy because the characters always manage to embarrass themselves but its a good drama because the acting is so believable. There are many famous actors/actresses in this too, which was an added bonus. This whole series is about a high jumper who was injured and can no longer high jump as well as he used to. However, this girl believes that he has so much potential and decides to push him to continue high jumping, so she dresses up as a boy and pretends to be his roommate. TBH...

A VERY WEIRD DREAM

Okay I had the weirdest dream and I really want to write it down so that when I'm old I can read my blog and be like "WOW I WAS A WEIRD KID." Okay so it starts off with me in a house, its not my house in real life, but it was the place I lived in in my dream. I had 6 siblings and we were all sitting around the dining room table eating dinner and the parentals were out of the house. Suddenly, I hear this knock at the front door. AND DREAM ME IS REALLY STUPID, because I just open the door. Outside are two of my classmates...who are holding mugs. But they're not very friendly looking (they're actually so nice I don't know why I imagined them this evil) but they run up the pathway to my house with these vicious looks on their faces and they're flailing their mugs around and somehow in the back of my mind I know they want to kill me and my siblings. And for some reason, I'm holding 2 construction worker helmets in my hand ( DONT ASK WHY I have no idea) an...

I feel like I'm the only one who reads my blog

AS WEIRD AS THIS SOUNDS, I feel like I'm the only one who reads my blog (which I know isn't true, because from what my page views tell me, I have had hundreds of people visit this webpage.) But that's how it feels. And honestly, its nice to have a little space on the internet where no one knows you and you can just rant about your likes and dislikes randomly. I'm probably the only one who reads my blog, but honestly THATS OKAY. In fact, ITS GREAT. I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME NOT TO. I CAN TYPE IN CAPS LOCK AND NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
