Why is writing important?

The reason why we are publishing our newspaper online is so we can save paper, and save money instead of paying for all of the paper needed for a printed newspaper. We want to find out if more people would view our website more than a printed website. When you practice your writing skills, it helps you out a lot in the future. When you go to college, you are going to have to write a lot of papers and this class willl really help you out because it will prepare you. Good writing skills make you look, and sound professional as well, and that is good when trying to get into a good college or when trying to get a good job. Another thing that writing can do is change the way people think of something, or change their views of something. Believe it or not but people really do listen to what other people have to say if it's something important. Something that I would like to talk about or get through to people is advice on teen life and the sress and struggles that we go through. Parents and other adults always seem to think that just because we are young we have nothing to worry about or nothing to stress about. We have a lot more on our shoulders than they can even imagine, and that is something I'd like to get through to people.
