I’m 12 years old and this may seem really stupid.. but I️ really want a dog but my mom says no and it makes me really upset :( all my friends have dogs and I’m such a huge animal lover and it’s really the only thing i want but my mom is a huge nono because I️ have a big fam, 3brothers and one sis.:(

Dogs are a lot of work. At 12 years old, what you really are asking for is for your family to get a dog so that you can have it to play with. You aren't going to walk it every day, you aren't going to take it outside at 3 a.m. when it's gotta go pee (or clean up the mess on the carpet when it doesn't wake you up) you aren't going to scoop up it's poop, make sure it has food and clean water, pay it's vet bills or take care of it when it's sick. I'm a dad myself who's had dogs, and I know how it goes. But if you want a dog, stop asking for it for yourself and start trying to convince your mom that SHE wants a dog. That's the only way it's going to work for you.

What sporting events will you be following in Winter Olympic games?

Most of the skiing events. Maybe some of the snowboarding too. Luge and bobsled are fun, and so is curling. Really, I'd watch just about everything except figure skating (no real interest) and I'm not huge on Olympic Hockey either.

What spot would you like to teleport to?

So do I have the ability to teleport anytime I want to but only to a single location every time, or just one time, teleport to some place? I think home would be my choice. I can spend the time and money to get somewhere, but then get home easily. Getting back isn't often as fun as getting there anyway.

Where is the world safer - online or real life?

Online. IRL people have guns and baseball bats and cars, and yelling and screaming and pushing. Online, people only have bad attitudes and words. I can turn off online, I can't turn off real life as easily.

do you love yellow leaves? how they rustle under their feet ....

Yes. I love the red and orange and brown ones too (as long as I don't have to rake them).

Thoughts on people who constantly post about how they are single on Instagram

I honestly don't see this that often, but it would depend on how they bring it up. Some people want people to know they are unfettered with a relationship (look how free I am!) while others might be desperately trying to get into one (hey, ask me out I'm single!).

Would you rather have your child grow up to be kind or smart?

I'll probably have one of each, but I hope they can both be both. I can't actually imagine that those are exactly either/or characteristics though. They aren't movie characters.

Is getting married young a good idea?

Statistically, no. Though young is a relative term. Marriages that begin before the people are in their late 20's fail more often than people who marry later.

Which cafes do you prefer to stay at?

Do people stay at cafe's? Do you mean, to drink my coffee and what-not? I don't really, unless I'm meeting friends there for coffee. But then it's just whichever one we go to.

Why books are better than movies?

Are they? Books that tend to precede movies are thought of as better, but this is often because we use the book as the measure of the movie. They also don't tend to make movies about bad books (except Twilight and 50 Shades of Gray, perhaps).

What is one thing u regret

I don't have any regrets. I might have wanted to try different things in hindsight, but I don't regret doing anything the way I have.

Coca-cola or Pepsi? What's your choice?

Regular Pepsi or Diet Coke. Not that I drink either of them. For Cola's, I always preferred RC. I now will have the occasional root beer (IBC if I can get it) but that's not more than once a year.
