First Kids

I know what you are thinking right now. You are thinking about first borns. No, that is not what my topic means. I mean first kids like the kids who live in the White House.

Most people want to be first kids, but I think that there are some disadvantages of being a first kid. One of them is that every thing you do ends up on the newspaper. If you flunk the big math test, it ends up on the newspaper or on tv. I am not saying that all of the atention is bad, but most of the times reporters focus on bad things instead of the good.

Also the other thing is there is pressure on you. There is the pressure of living up to your parent's and the public's expectations. It is another thing to live up to your potential, but everybody excpects you to do something as important as one of your parents. It is hard enough having the pressure of getting good grades when you are a normal person now you have to be perfect every second of every minute. This is the reason many first kids take up drinking or some type of drug. They use alcohol and drugs to soothe the pressure and pain.

There are also advantages of living in the White House. There is a pool, bowling alley, and a private movie theater. What kid wouldn't love that? Plus, the famous Easter Egg Roll celebration takes place right there at the front porch of the White House, which is really cool because many celebrities come there to perform. For exmaple, last year the Jonas Brothers performed at the Easter Egg Roll. Also, many world leaders and other presidents drop by constantly.

So my advice to the new first kids Sasha and Malia Obama is to have fun and just be kids. I know it is kind of hard to not be kids when you have the secret service watching you 24/7 but they should try their best.
