I can already tell that the book‚ “The Curious Writer” by Bruce Ballenger is going to make me a better writer. My writing process is not really good because I usually get stuck and I do not know what else to say. I lack information.

IN MY opinion‚ our teenagers nowadays are enjoying too much freedom compared to those before. Freedom helps teens feel more powerful and self-confident. But too much freedom can easily backfire‚ leaving a teen floundering. Some of them start taking advantage of too much freedom.
