Overpopulation

There are many forms of population control. Some are natural, such as diseases and lack of resources. Some are unnatural, such as war, genocide, and forced sterilization. Some of the natural types of population control are caused by humans, like China's Big Step Forward. It caused a massive famine that killed millions of people. China currently has a one child policy to control its population through economic means. India had a mass sterilization program. My personal method of population control is a lot like China's but also includes benefits for not having children to reduce the population to a more reasonable level.

My last two weeks have been very uneventful. One of my parents' friends got engaged and came back to Austin to plan her wedding. She used to be my brother and my babysitter and left Austin for Phoenix and San Fransisco. I am very happy with my grades for last six weeks. I was surprised that my lowest grade was not in geometry.
