(scratching and popping sound effects)
- I don't think through my crushes like that,
I'm not like, "I love him so much."
(girl laughing)
I'm like, "Okay, I like him." Yeah.
- But that's the thing you can like them as a friend,
not...
(kids laughing)
(upbeat music)
(beep)
- [Interviewer] Using bad words is okay.
Three, two, one, go.
(feet shuffling)
- You shouldn't swear, that's a common fact,
but then again, you have to let your anger out some way,
so, that's why I only somewhat disagree.
- Using, well, words, can,
they have meaning,
and when you use 'em,
it means something,
so when you use a bad word
it means like you're angry and you're not happy,
but when you need to use 'em, you can just scream
'em in your pillow, not yell 'em out at someone.
- And I don't think that you should just
scream into your pillow,
that's just gonna bottle up your emotions
and that's just gonna get worse and worse.
It's just gonna eventually burst
and you're going to say even more bad words than you should.
- Yeah.
- What if you just get a stress ball?
(girl giggles)
- Yeah, but that's for a specific, like physical,
I don't know, therapy.
- Yeah, well you said that if somebody's like really angry,
so what if you just get a stress ball?
- But it depends on the person,
in my opinion, squishing something
isn't gonna make me any happier.
- Like, let's say like, you have like a best friend and all,
and then like you, I don't know,
like you say like a swear word to them,
then maybe they'll just like,
not wanna hang out with you
because you like cuss and all.
- Sorry if people here are not Christian
but it's against the Bible,
you shouldn't swear because it can also hurt a lot
of people's feelings if you swear directly at them,
but, yeah, you shouldn't do it.
- I'm Christian,
so I guess I'll just put in disagree.
- [Interviewer] I have a crush on someone.
Three, two, one, go.
(kids scrambling footsteps)
- Okay.
- Ooh, we're gonna find out some romantic love interest.
- You should not love someone when you're this,
like this age, it's like more of a mature thing,
like you should just like people as friends,
you shouldn't like, love people
like you wanna marry them and stuff like,
like that, that's like high school, college things.
- Yeah.
At this age we just like have a crush,
we don't like, love them to where we're marrying them
and we're gonna have kids and,
I don't think through my crushes like that,
I'm not like, "I love him so much."
(kids giggling)
I'm like, "Okay, I like him." Yeah.
- Yeah, but that's the thing,
you can like them as a friend,
not...
(kids laughing and giggling)
- But at the same time, it's not like your choice,
you can't make yourself forced to
not like him or have a crush on him.
- Yeah, but then-
- It's a way of the heart though.
- Yeah, it's okay liking someone,
it's just like-
- You shouldn't be too excited about this.
- And you're gonna find someone else that you're gonna like,
so don't keep your hopes up.
- [Interviewer] Kids should be allowed to have cell phones.
Three, two, one, go.
- I strongly agree, because, what if.
- That's disagree. - That's disagree.
- Oh sorry.
- It's okay, bro.
- What if you got lost
and your parents said that you couldn't have a cell phone.
I wouldn't be able to call anybody
'cause I wouldn't have a cell phone.
I have a phone and I use it for certain reasons,
like to FaceTime my friends,
and like FaceTime my family and text,
and then like I kind of don't really think we
should have one,
is because we usually wanna hang out with our friends,
not stay on really, devices all day.
- Children just, they could break the cell phones and-
- Drop it.
- It depends on what age.
- So that's why I believe it should be "teenagers
can have cell phones",
because they actually understand the world,
how to not break phones.
- But like some kids do have responsibility too,
from their parents.
- But also because children could just
access a bunch of really inappropriate things, and...
- You can go into like, a like dark web or something
on accident, and then like,
you could accidentally give your address,
like while playing like a game,
you could like accidentally be like,
leaking it on social medias and all.
- Parents, technology these days,
you can put child block on your phone,
that's a thing on YouTube,
you can put child block.
I'm pretty sure they can't like access certain things.
- If you post something wrong on accident
it stays there forever,
even though you delete it, it's still up there.
People can see that and then
they can get into stuff that you don't want them to see.
- [Interviewer] I understand what racism is.
Three, two, one, go.
- This is a saying I feel like I've heard many people say.
It doesn't matter what's on the outside that counts,
it's what's on the inside that counts.
- Yeah.
- Like what does the skin have to
affect you by.
- Back in the forties and fifties,
black people and Hispanic people were being harassed
by white people, no offense, and-
- It's fine.
- Like they used to get water hosed,
I know that black people didn't like that
'cause what if the white people were black people
and they were being treated like that,
like they don't know what it feels like,
they just think that they have all the power,
they can just do whatever they wanted,
because we were helpless.
- People are stereotyped over the color of the skin
which doesn't make any sense
because everyone's mean at some point,
everyone's upset at some point,
everyone's nice at some point,
but I just don't get why people are stereotyped
by their skin.
- We're all the same,
we're all human beings,
if we're from different places,
it's like, if (indistinct)
there's a lot of sun,
you have more melanin in your skin,
if it's like more cool, barely any sun,
you have less melanin.
We have to respect each other
with the same ways that you wanna be respected,
and people get killed just by protesting,
and then it just makes me so sad,
like they're just trying to get their own right.
- It's a good way to put it.
- [Interviewer] I'm afraid of climate change.
three, two, one, go.
- I'm right here.
- I'm going to be here.
Okay, fine.
- Okay, so there's no point of
being afraid of climate change.
Like you can be like concerned about it,
like about the animals that live in like different climates.
Like I don't know, okay.
- Places.
- But, places, yeah.
There's no point of you to be afraid,
because you're used to warm weather
and a little cooler weather,
but you can be concerned about it.
- It's actually our fault.
We're making more pollution and pollution and pollution.
It's making the air-
- So that's why you're just not concerned about it?
- That's why people are switching
to electric cars, because gasoline is part of it.
- But people are now changing to electricity,
but still electricity is made with gas,
and I don't know what it's called,
but there's like over the planet,
there's like a big protection
from the sun rays-
- Ozone layer.
- Really extreme on us,
and burn ourselves to death,
but we're destroying that,
and that's why we're endangering ourselves too.
- I just really remembered,
but like, remember like when we had to like evacuate,
from like some of our homes, like how it was like showing
like a couple weeks ago, because like a fire and stuff
was going on,
wildfire, climate change,
maybe we should be scared,
I'm not saying that you should have to.
- Well that's just being concerned,
there's no point of being afraid,
Like, "Oh my gosh, I'm gonna die."
There's like no point of being afraid.
- Because you are gonna die, that's the thing.
- Not for sure, but you might, it's a possibility.
- [Preston] Yeah, there's a low chance you are.
- You won't guarantee die,
but you will guarantee you have third degree burns,
be drowned to the point where you become a fish, and...
(kid chuckles)
- [Interviewer] I miss going to school in person.
Three, two, one, go.
- Oh my gosh.
I'm so, I keep forgetting.
I strongly agree on going to school
because you can like,
get more help
from your teachers and you get to see your friends again.
- In my opinion, there's just no reason to have
to wanna do school at, in person,
and that's just way less safety
with this whole COVID 19 going on.
But then as for distractions, you could just turn it
on safety lock or something, or get grounded.
- There's not only distractions on your phone
and your computer,
that you can just put lock on,
you can also get distracted
if you're in your room,
because I'm sure your parents will be doing something
in the other room,
but I also feel like school is great
because your teacher can give you like one on one time
and go to your desk and help you with a certain problem,
and you also get to see your friends.
- A bunch of my friends that I know do online,
and are like failing their classes,
and the exact same thing happened to me,
except like I was doing it like online,
and then I had straight Fs,
but then I went to the school, school,
and then changed all my grades to As and Bs.
- [Interviewer] Adults are always right.
Three, two, one, go.
(kids footsteps)
- I don't completely disagree,
I'm sure that every adult isn't always right,
because women are always right,
but you can't have some kind of telekinetic mind power
that lets you be right a hundred percent of the time.
- Sometimes my teacher gets things wrong
and I, sometimes the students have to correct my teacher.
- My grandma has a daycare and
one of her helpers that used to work for her,
she didn't go to school,
so she kind of didn't know anything.
- No one's ever right all the time.
- Yeah.
- Like, no matter if you're an adult or a kid,
I feel like parents just say they're always right,
because they like want you to do something else,
instead of playing video games all day,
they want you to go outside,
so like, I feel like that's kind of-
- Well, its good to go outside and run out your energy, but-
- [Interviewer] Making friends is hard.
Three, two-
- I expected this.
- One, go.
- I'm really talkative,
so I will just like go up to someone and I'll be like,
"Hey, what's your name?"
And then we'll start a full blown conversation,
and then we'll swap numbers,
and also acting makes it a lot easier to make friends,
like this,
like when you're working on set with someone ,
you're literally just like,
with so many other kids that you can make friends with.
so I feel like it's easy.
- Whenever I'm doing like my magic to someone,
I did make quite a lot of friends and all,
it was easier because I was talking
and I wasn't like talking about like other stuff,
but I was talking about like what I loved
and what I was doing.
- Juan, I'm gonna have to disagree with you,
because you said that you did a magic trick
and now people wanna be your friend right,
what if you are a regular kid,
some people just wanna be friends with you
because you're either famous or you're rich.
- I know, but I wasn't rich or famous.
- You're really cool,
so like, what if you were just like a basic kid,
do you think they would still be friends with you?
- Well, most likely,
because its not well it was like out on like the outside,
It was what's on the inside that counted right there,
at that time.
- I just be myself,
and I just see if they want to be friends with me or not,
because it all, it just depends on what they think of me.
Sometimes I have to act to get friends,
because sometimes I hear their conversations,
and they're saying that they
don't like to be friends with my type of personality.
I kind of feel like I'm lying because
it's not like truly me,
and I just, I prefer getting friends
like the way I actually am.
- [Interviewer] I don't want to grow up.
Three, two, one, go.
- I honestly wanna grow up because it's like part of life,
and you just get to experience different things
depending on your age.
- I wanna be like a kid, but like staying
a kid forever is like being in school for a long time,
and redoing your grades,
it's like not fun,
and when you grow up you can have a job
and do what you love.
- I mean, technically as long as you're good at school,
if you just keep repeating the same classes-
- It's not like-
- The worst thing that can happen is just you-
- Its like you're reviewing the same thing
you learned last year,
and then you get bored of it,
that's why you wanna go move on to something new.
- I strongly agree on not growing up,
cause I won't have to pay any bills.
(kids laughing)
- Once you grow up, you learn a lot more
so you can get a job,
and then it's easier to pay bills and pay taxes.
- I don't really want grow up,
because at the same time, you do get older and older,
life does go on,
and you really won't have a childhood again, and-
Change is good and change can be bad,
but you'll know till you do it.
- [Interviewer] Awesome, so that is a wrap.
(kids talking)
Did you guys have fun?
- [Kids] Yeah!
- Oh, my ears.
(upbeat music)
