    My only question is: what for? I just don't understand the purpose of such tall buildings, which require incredible amounts of energy to operate efficiently and become death traps in the case of fire or earthquake, if the experience of 9/11 haven't taught us anything.

Is it possible that we will stop being a throwaway society?

The problem of throwing things away is really big novadays. People instead of segregate rubbish are throwing paper, glass, plastic into one bin what results of creating new landfills because of long decomposing term of same of the trash. I think people now just dont care about the environment because problem of too much rubbish will happen in future so it will be problem of the next generation.

  Some time ago I decided to watch a popular series ,,13 reasons why” based on a book ,,13 reasons why” by Jay Asher.   After watching the series I had mixed feelings, did not delight me, did not make any ‘WOW’ as with other people who also watched it. Despite this lack of ‘WOW’, something was slowly born in my head. I started to think about how our behavior could affect another person. How can we inadvertently hurt someone?   Some situations that seem completely indifferent to us may be of great importance to someone else - and vice versa. Someone will hurt you a lot and you are not even aware of that. Because we are different and other things are more or less important to us.    After a few days of reflection I understood a few things and tried to change for the better and think about how to relate to my peers so as do not make them unhappy   Finally I would like to add that everybody should watch it.

does school prepare us for life?

school teaches us many usefull skills like cooperating with people or even making a contacts with others but in my opinion school doesnt prepare us for adult life. First thing is that we cant be creative in school becasue we must do everything like they said. Second thing is that we must raise our hands and wait for being chosen to express our opinion. The last thing why school doesnt prepare us for life is that we are learning a lot of useless things only to get a good grade at exam and later it becomes useless.
