About me - Kyla

My name is Kyla, and I love to read and write. My favorite subject is history, and I like to write stories. I write mostly either stories based in the past or in the future...except for my mysteries, which are based in 2007. (The year changes every year...LOL)

Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Politics: 29 of 51
Congressional Code: a political satire written from the perspective of a US congressman. 1- Main Street. Really means 'Wall Street'. 2- Promptly. Really means 'slowly and as inefficiently as possible'...unless of course, we're trying to pass a pet bill, in which case 'promptly' really means as quickly as possible, with no ti... More..
Relationships & Family > Dating Commentary Dating from the teen perspective: 4 of 6
I must confess that I've always thought dating was a silly thing. My idea was- 'what's the point?' Having seen friends who were putting themselves through the heartache of the dating game, I knew from an early age that I never wanted to get in on it. I remember the first time I was ever exposed to dating within my age group.... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Teen Views Teens views: Teen writer autobiographies: 2 of 3
I have loved to write ever since I was a little kid. In fact, I still remember the first book I ever wrote- a children's book called 'Dogs Don't Look Both Ways.' It was a moralistic story that I was extremely proud of. I graduated after that, up to a teenage detective named Jessica who was all of 14- a great, big, grownup ag... More..
Pets & Animals > Vets & Pet Health The best products for getting rid of fleas: 7 of 9
Flea control is probably one of the most important things you need as a cat owner, whether you have indoor or outdoor cats. Think: what would happen if people never did gave their cats' flea prevention medications? Having to pick fleas off a pet is not the best occupation around. So, unless you want to have to pick creepy, b... More..
Home & Garden > Home Interior Plastic storage bins and their uses: 11 of 14
Plastic storage bins can save your life. Seriously, they can. Just think of all the closets in your home that you could clean out...so all that stuff doesn't come cascading down on you. Seriously- I have found that storage bins have more uses than people think. They're versatile, look great, and make handy depositors of stuf... More..
Creative Writing > Songs Songs: The love of my life: 14 of 17
HE WAITS Verse One- He waits around the corner waiting for me. I can feel him so close, yet I know he's respecting me. There's something so sweet about the way he waits, that I cannot find him yet, for he's waiting for me. Chorus- There's just something about it, that makes me want to smile. To dance for joy, to twirl about,... More..
Education > Homeschooling Is homeschooling better than formal education?: 85 of 102
All of my parent's 6 children are homeschooled, including me. I love it. The advantages that a child has when spending quality time with their parents are many. We don't have a set curriculum. We just use everyday life to teach, yet most of us are above grade-level in most if not all subjects. I read all the time,mostly adul... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Feminism & Women's Rights Should US companies be required to provide equal pay to women and men?: 46 of 55
It should be based on the individual's competence to the job. If a man and a woman share the same type of job, yet the man does a better job than the woman, he should receive higher pay, for he is the more valuable employee. But let us say the woman is the better employee. She should receive the same pay as the man would if ... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Brothers & sisters: 47 of 54
I am the eldest of six kids. Of those, two are girls, three are boys. Now, add to this one crazy dog and a three-bedroom, one bathroom house. To some of you, that may seem like a recipe for disaster, but usually we get along quite well. True, there are moments where it all seems to fall apart. Like the time my little brother... More..
Home & Garden > Cleaning (Other) How to keep a clean, organized home when you have small children: 19 of 21
I have 5 litte brothers and sisters. 2 of those are 'small'. (2 and 4) Life does get exciting, but it is a struggle to keep things 'clean and organized'. First off, it's best to have a space where the kids can play and wreck things, and not mess up the 'guest' part of the house. This should be a pretty sizable place, maybe t... More..
