Personally, I hate the suburbs, but what do you think of them compared to the city? Well, while the suburbs are safe to live in, when i lived in the city, I couldn't even play out on the front yard as a child. In the suburbs, it's not as dangerous, and is more kid-friendly. The city also is more crowded and filled with people than a small town, and can also be easier to get lost in. While the suburbs may be more safe and less busy, big cities are more diverse. In some suburbs, like mine, most of the residents are white, which I really can't stand because I think that places should be more diverse than they are. Also, in cities there are more options for entertainment, than the suburbs, as well as more places to visit, or just to go. The one thing that makes me furious is the fact that in the suburbs, the schools might be better than the ones in the cities. My school in the suburbs doesn't do a thing to improve other schools, which I think they should. In Winnetka, we hold this big fundraiser for our own school, while other schools are way worse off and nothing is being done. I'm not saying all suburbs are rich, and all cities are unsafe, I'm just trying to talk about my own experiences In both the city, and the suburbs. Should suburbs like Winnetka do things to help problems in Chicago?Which is better to live in: The city, or the suburbs?

Hi Winnetka Greaser. I liked your ideas about the city vs the suburbs. I grew up in a very small town that was very safe but didn't have much to do. Then I moved to a suburb near New York City when I was 13 and that was a big culture shock! It was still safe but everyone was white and there were pressures about having money. But, the school was much better than the small town and better than the schools in Chicago. I live in Chicago now and I wish the public schools were much better. But, I do love living in the city! I like your idea about helping other schools since your school has a lot of money. Maybe you could start a club, a fund raising club, and find a "sister" school in the city that you could give money to. That might be great!
Thanks for responding! I'm glad you liked my post, and I like your idea a lot. I might do that. I was just so furious that the switcheroo benifit that my school throws every year doesn't do a thing for other schools. I hate the suburbs, and Miss Hyde Park a lot so I decided to post this. I noticed a lot of the differences, like that almost everyone was white. Thanks again!
Hi Winnetka Greaser! I love your idea about helping out a Chicago school. Also, I really like your blog and your writing. Thanks for sharing!
Yo Cupcake Ninja,
Thanks for replying! I posted it because I used to live in the city, but moved to the suburbs. In the suburbs, my school threw this benefit for my school, which had a lot of money, and that made me furious because schools in Chicago weren't as good or as well off. I appreciate your compliments, and am glad you find my blog interesting. Thanks again!
