Public school systems - 8/22/2011
As a sophmore at Alpharetta High School, i am voicing my opinion about treatment of students in Public school systems is unprofessional. There are alot of bad kids at this high school, we change principals every year. This school is like a juvinile detention center. The rules are like a prison. We only get 5 minutes between classes, the kids are extremly rude and snotty and push people in the halls. They dont give us any time to use the bathroom!!!!!!!! If we ask in class they make us fill out a bunch of information, and the answer is usually no. We cant wait upstairs before school in the morning without getting In-School-Suspension. The counselors at this school are usually off, and not very helpful on getting students ready for college. Teachers lock the doors after the bell rings, so it feels like being in lock down. The lunches are really expensive and small, and they even make us pay for a locker and plastic eating utensils and there are not even have enough lockers for everyone.

Seasons - 5/1/2011
The Seasons are the absolute the best. Winter are from cold to mild. Some times you can have a 70 degree temp for some of the weeks in the winter time which almost make it a early spring. And when spring does come it is prefect as well as summer and fall.

Atlanta - 4/18/2011
I have lived in Atlanta off and on since 2002. I have never been the victim of a crime, and I have never witnessed a crime being committed. I think many people fail to take precautionary measures. When I lived in North Decatur I heard about people being robbed, etc. These incidents always took places after mid-night near ATM machines and parking decks. In addition, I have heard of men coming into college dormitories. Most often, men would enter unlocked rooms.
My point is that you can drastically reduce your changes of being a victim by increasing situational awareness and protecting yourself. Zip code 30303 (downtown) was recently listed as the 4th most dangerous zip code in America. I lived in this zip code for 1 year and walked to and from work for 6 months (about a 6 minute walk). I never had a problem. I would argue certain parts of 30303 are safe for downtown living. Of course, there are areas south of the GA Dome that I would not walk around in.

Not all is bad !!! in Atlanta - 1/24/2011
Compared to some south states Ga still has some southern hospitality. I want get into the white/Black/Purple/Green of things. But some drama did come along with an increase of 6 million out-of-towners, really what do you expect. People come here for cheap living and jobs that most thought they won't have to compete for when they arrive. Later they find out, that's not true because yes people from the south go to college too, Sorry. Yes there are still good hearted people in the city, someone to help you change a flat,make an emergency call for you. Yes we party here too, I know our parties are not as big as the ones up north. But if you plan on keeping it positive your more than welcome to join in on the fun. Traffic is bad from 7-9am and 4-6pm but I'm a Ga peach so I remember the day when we only had 2-3 lanes but once again do to the increase of about 6 million people. We have some fine dining and some hood spots, like any other state. But there's something for everyone, Art,

Horrible place to live. - 1/4/2011
Your absolutely correct! What a horrible place to live! The crime here is OUTRAGEOUS! And the people are rude, every where u go. Even on the phone. But you're wrong, the cops are a problem, however; the crimes are committed by some of the most dangerous individuals ever!I moved here two years ago and I still can't find a job. I want to leave here so badly, but I don't have the means to get out of here! But you're right to tell everyone not to move here. If you value your life, the safety of your family, your sanity and the morals and high standards that you obtained living in a better society, DON'T MOVE DOWN HERE TO
