by Jacob P. March 19th, 2012| Teen Perspective

by Sam P. March 16th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
School projects are never very easy.  A lot of times, specifically science ones, they are rather hard.  I actually just had one where my partner and had to create a newton scooter;  shockingly, I did very well.  Although it was incredibly hard.

Seatbelts: From the Teen’s View

by Jacob P. March 7th, 2012| Teen Perspective, Teens
