Hello everyone! Gosh it seems so long since I've been on this side of the article! Anyway I wanted to ask the question: Will B/R have a decrease in activity for school?

As I have seen, a lot of young writers have sprouted up and started writing. Now with school coming around the corner, will they stop getting on?

I am actually going back to school myself so I've faced the harsh reality that I won't see all you wonderful people on a daily basis *snifel*.

Here are the factors that I think may stop writers going back to school: (Keep in mind these are just my opinion...)

1) Parents. Parents may think that homework and studying for school is much more important than getting on B/R on a daily basis.

-> Example: "Mom! Let me get on Bleacher Report!" says writer. "No, I think you should study your math facts for Mr. Smith's class! No more computer for you Mister!" says Mom

2) Computer Security. At School, they are take EXTREME measures to make sure the students don't get on something they are not supposed to get on. At my school, they have blocked everything!

 -> Example: Things like: Miniclip.com, Wikipedia.com, & many, many others. Hopefully in the future, they won't block Bleacherreport.com.

3) Lack of going to the computers. In school, last year, we were lucky enough to get on the computers a lot. So I was able to get on B/R a lot.

-> Example: If the teachers do not require to go into computer lab, well no computers, no B/R.

4) What If No Computer At Home? If people like me don't have a computer at home, it's twice as hard. Due to studying and doing homework, its hard for us to go to a neighbor's house or a cyber cafe to do our B/R business.

-> Example: If I desprately need to get on B/R, & my neighbor isn't home, and the cyber cafe is closed, then what do I do?

These reasons make me wonder if the activities of writers like myself that are going back to school will cease or just slow down.

Please vote on the poll. It'll ask you the question I have been asking this whole time.

Also, please leave your comments and rate. Thanks for your time!
