Essay

Kids have been getting sick more lately. About 46% of children get sick from going to school without wearing a coats, jackets, hats, mitten, etc in the winter. Many middle schoolers doesn’t wear their jackets or anything they were just wearing their shirts, crop tops, teen tops, shorts, and many other things from the summer time. Many kids thinks being cool kids won’t get sick. Many kids have died from the cold and many people should think how that can efface their child from getting sick. So my bill should pass for Reflective Children’s Outerwear.
