I challenge youth to cooperate with parents who are concerned about your reading and your viewing. Be concerned yourself about what you take into your mind.

Straightway is a power word. Straightway is an action word. It means immediately, without delay or hesitation. It means at once.

To procrastinate is to put off intentionally and habitually something that should be done. Procrastination is unproductive delay.
