Talk to Text

 What has happened to the generation now days, you can just walk outside your door and see at least three people talking on the phone, texting, or listening to their ipod.   You hardly ever see youth talking to other or even doing something physical.  Sometimes people text someone who are in the same room as you instead of just walking over to the person and talking to them.  We are loosing important life skills by using technology all the time.  Don't get me wrong I love the technology now days, and the phones are awesome you practically have a mini computer in the palms of your hand. But with having awesome things also comes consequences.
The simple communication skills are lost, if you were to put teenagers, who love technology into a room then cut them off from technology. Would they be able to know how to communicate with each other? I don't think they would be able to talk about anything except facebook, or twitter. Communication is a huge part of life, if you want to get a job you have to know how to present yourself as well as how to communicate. Communication is also the keystone of our society today because using technology through communication it can result in a miscommunication.  The best way to communicate is face to face instead of using technology.

Thats so not fair!

So get this, Nadia Habib , a nineteen year old girl has to go back to her home country because she isn't a U.S. citizen.  But in her family her young siblings get to stay in America because they are U.S. citizens. Her father gets a green card to stay in America while her and her mother have to return to their home country.  Even though she has no idea how to speak her language.  You can watch this video to hear more about Nadia Habib
Honestly if you ask me about this situation,  I would give her a green card.  The article doesn't answer a lot of questions.  A main question is why does she have to go back, when she has obviously been a honorable American citizen and she doesn't consider herself to be anything but American.  I feel really bad for her, if I were put into that situation I would be freaking out.  Not only do I not get to see my siblings but I have to go live in a country that I don't even remember.  I think the green cards should go to immigrants that have proven their U.S. citizen and is honorable to America.  
Recently, there was another article that came out about her and her friends are protesting, saying that she shouldn't have to go back to her country. Later on another article says that for now she wont get deported back to her country.  Having people who care that much for a person immigrant or not they shouldn't have to leave their "home country."
