  1. When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the ideology of procrastination from the mind of a student from this moment on. This poisonous ideology not only hinders the success of the student but also heightens levels of stress and results in poor performance of the task at hand. It also causes time to be wasted and forces the student to work twice as hard as they would if he or she would not have procrastinated. Therefore from this moment on, I declare myself independent from the evils of procrastination.

  2. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to disband from the establishment know as Ikea and henceforth eviscerate any connections that one may have. Ikea is no more than a mere establishment seeking profitable margins from their sales, but their greed knows no bounds. It becomes apparent of such greed when one realizes that such an establishment, which has the primary focus on furniture, makes the decision to begin selling their own overpriced bicycle for $499.99 with overpriced accessories as well. It is crucial to magnify the numerous recalls of furniture the establishment has had to conduct due to security reasons. The audacity for a furniture establishment to be deceitful concerning their "meatballs" containing horse meat is up-mostly outrageous. For these reasons, I, and every being alive, shall become independent from Ikea.

  3. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to separate from the television and from now til the end of time never watch another show. The television is a distraction that can significantly decrease the amount of work getting done in any students day. Now with all of these terrible shows like the "Bachelorette" or "Big Brother" it can turn into a serious issue with how many brain cells you lose from those shows. The biggest problem is that the television company has the nerve to market the mind controlling machines at three times what they should cost. Now, without further a do, I declare myself as well as all other beings on this earth independent from the television.

  4. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to discrete one's self from the Internet and become sociable. The Internet has manipulated students to focus on the Internet and then their studies. This has caused many students to fall behind on their education which unfortunately leads up to failing students. But sadly even the people who are responsible to mold these students minds, they to have fallen victim to the Internet, mentors who are suppose to be preparing these minds for the real world, now who will prepare the students for the real world? Who will guide them to change our country for the better? Now this gives me absolute pleasure to say, I declare myself as well as all of those students and mentors who are repressed and held captive by the Internet, that I have become independent from the Internet.

  6. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to dissolve the dance move called the "dab" from public appearances. The "dab" creates a dangerous environment for classes as students have to be weary of unsuspecting hand raises. Such dance move can hit someone in the eye or face, thus causing injury and distraction. A class should not only have an educational environment, but also a professional one that promotes maturity from students. Allowing people to "dab on the haters" only promotes future generations to be more reckless in the work force and in general social interactions. It is known that "dabbing" is associated with infamous internet icons such as Jake Paul, we clearly do not want a society that promotes bad influence. For the better of humanity, it is paramount that we break away from such toxic behavior.

    ---------------------------
    (not sure if this will work so below is the definition)
    Dabbing, or the Dab, is a simple dance move in which a person drops the head into the bent crook of a slanted arm, often while raising the opposite arm in a parallel direction but out straight.

  7. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to dissolve the mentality of perfectionism. Perfectionism of all forms hinder productivity through requiring extra time and effort which could be spent conducting other constructive activities. Additionally, perfectionism corrodes the mental health of those exhibiting the characteristic due to the universal incapability to execute and embody perfection, allowing for the development of a distorted perception of inferiority. In order to dispose of this ubiquitous illness-like epidemic, we must toss aside the deceitful image of flawlessness society constrains us within. For the reasons stated above, I declare we ,as imperfect mortal beings, part with glamorizing and striving for the preposterous and unattainable "perfection".

  9. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to detach one's self from Twitter. Twitter is an addictive social media application that will get young adults distracted from reality. This application brainwashes young adults, making them believe everything they see or hear although social media is just full of rumors and opinions. This generation has strayed away from reality to the point that they think everything on social media is true, but in reality we have no clue what's reallying going on in the world around us. Therefore I declare myself and those who also are affected, independent from this brainwashing.

  11. When in the course of human events, it is necessary to dissolve the pessimistic mentality and insecurity and become more positive and confident with one's self. Pessimism can leave you feeling incredibly overwhelmed and insecure about whatever task it is that needs to be accomplished. Negative thinking can also create less productivity because of the overthinking process of failure. Lastly, negativity, or pessimism, can cause one be more insecure with one's self due to negative thoughts and thoughts from an individual. On a farther note, with the statements I have listed, I hereby declare myself independent from negativity and pessimistic thinking.

  12. When in the course of human events, it is necessary to dissolve the idea of racism. This is an unfair practice that should no longer continue, for it hurts people by giving false accusations. Racism only causes violence, as seen through numerous events varying from slavery even to current day. We should not discriminate one another based on skin color. Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent from the problems caused by racism.

  13. When in the course of human events, it is necessary to eliminate the activity of cellphone communication in the midst of driving a vehicle. This reckless behavior is the cause for many vehicle crashes in today's more modernized population, and therefore must be discontinued immediately. Cellphone interaction while operating a vehicle on a busy street is a major distraction, especially for younger inexperienced drivers. Driving a vehicle is a privilege rather than a right, and should thus be treated as one. Drivers of all ages must make relentless efforts to be as attentive as possible when on the road, and cellphone communication serves as a definitive disturbance. The careless habit is a prominent reason behind many civilian deaths on the road, and needs to be eradicated instantly. Due to the previously mentioned reasons, I hereby declare my independence from this foolish and nonsensical behavior, and I hope my fellow citizens do the same.

  14. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for people as one to separate themselves from video games. Video games are no more than virtual reality that teach us everything can be easily won through the pressing of buttons. Video games not only distance us from reality, they decrease physical and social activity which leads to obesity, poor heart health, and poor social skills. Additionally, video games are boring due to their monotonous nature, and should be substituted with exercise, which includes walking, swimming, or lifting weights, along with reading and writing. Video games do not educate, they simply entertain, and as a generation we have become hooked onto our gaming systems which may lead to a world of lazy, incompetent gamers. As a result, I hereby declare myself, along with all others who strive to be more productive human beings, independent from video games.

  15. When in the course of human events , it is necessary to dissolve the idea of negativity. Negativity really holds a person back and terminates them from achieving and succeeding goals.A person who is negative towards someone really can affect a person's mindset by making someone believe they cant accomplish a goal. Negativity within a person can result in a tendency to stress and cause the brain to tell you , you can do it.Also , when a person has negative thoughts toward themselves it also can affect their work ethic and their education.It can lead you to do poorly in school , due to the lack of confidence you have in yourself to make the good grade.Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent from the problems caused by negativity.

  16. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the bond between themselves and their cellphones. The pull of a cellphone is undeniable, with many people injuring themselves and others in accidents caused by these evil devices. The cellphone has also erected a society based around the internet, killing off face-to-face interaction. Lastly, the cellphone has burned a hole through the pockets of Americans, becoming increasingly vital yet still costing hundreds of dollars. Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent of the cellphone.

  17. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a student to stop doing their homework on time so that they can have time to do fun things. Ever since the dawn of school, homework has been the bane of many students far and wide wishing to have fun. Homework has completely consumed the lives of students after school hours, thereby denying them the right to have fun. Thankfully, some students got smarter and decided to start procrastinating, so that they could spend most of their time having fun, while still leaving a little bit of time for homework, even though it may lead to staying up late and/or turning in assignments late. Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent of doing homework on time, and I pledge to procrastinate to the utmost of my abilities, so that I can have more time to spend on playing 2k/COD, and binge watching Game of Thrones.

  18. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the conventions of packaging commonly known as CLAMSHELL PACKAGING that demonize people and turn them into savages, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to easy access to the products and tools that these people have purchased, that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
    Such has been the patient sufferance of these Consumers; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Packaging. The history of the present CLAMSHELL PACKAGING in is a history of repeated injuries and disrespect, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these helpless Consumers. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
    It has become so impervious, so formidable an enemy against all forms of Household Trinkets that may force it to Relinquish its grasp beyond reasonable means of necessary force
    It has inflicted in undue pain, of unreasonable measure, of cuts, piercings, penetrations, slices, lacerations, and other injuries on these Consumers
    It has incurred frustrations and buffoonery of grand measures, forcing well mannered mens into lower forms of behaviors
    We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of Consumables, Enemies in War, in Peace Enemies too. We, therefore, the Representatives of the Consumers of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Stores and areas of Commerce, solemnly publish and declare, That these united Consumers are, and of Right ought to be Free and Liberated from these packaging conventions; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the Powers of Commerce that force this packaging, and that all physical connection between them and the convention of CLAMSHELL PACKAGING, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent Consumers, they have full Power to levy Wealth, conclude Transcations, contract Tools of Household Nature, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent Consumers may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

  19. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to dissolve the feeling of jealousy. Jealousy is a toxic and detrimental emotion that damages a person’s mental health as reoccurring negative thoughts, such as comparing oneself to those of more success which in effect clouds one's mind, steals their joy, and creates a hostile environment.Jealousy does not change nor does it resolve anything. Squandering valuable time dwelling on how others have it better  hinders productivity levels and proves nothing. Jealousy bonds well with unthankfulness, being jealous and comparative of others makes you less thankful of what you already have in life
    Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent from the the emotion of jealousy.

  20. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to dismiss the act of bullying among the population of high school students. Bullying is an act of intimidation and cruelty to the people around you. High schoolers have it hard enough with the stress they are under to do well in school, and it makes it even harder when someone is constantly trying to put you down and make you feel bad about yourself. Bullying creates negative thoughts to run through the brain of the ones being bullied and no good can come out of it. High schoolers need to be told positive things that will encourage them to succeed, not the other way around. Therefore, i hereby declare myself and all high schoolers independent from bullying.

  21. When in the course of human events it become necessary to dissolve the heavenly ties between parent and child, a certain cares and respects must be made whilst detailing the need for separation. The responsibility of a parent is to do more than provide, it is to guide their child as they grow. As a child grows older and begins to make decisions for themselves, "I said so" is no longer a meaningful justification for preventing the child from breaking free to find its own path. A parent should also hold themselves true to their word, especially commitments to their child. These acts include but are not limited to: all failed job plans, commitments made towards schooling, and forgetting their child in the home of another. It is the duty of a parent to prepare their child for a life independent from theirs, and thus, for the action of bringing me into this world nearly 18 years ago, I find it necessary to break the bond of dependence. Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent from my father and free from the burdens we place upon each other.

  23. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to eliminate the act of conformity. This social influence effects the society negatively by creating one socially acceptable standard. This act takes away peoples freedoms mentally and physically in having the need to fit in. Limiting our say into the society, afraid to speak up only to feel socially acceptable. All those afraid shall be accepted with no standards. Positivity should be spread around avoiding violence and hateful acts. Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent from the forced act of conformity.

  24. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to dissolve participation in criminal acts. If there is crime there is punishment. Prisons, jails, and other system that serve to punish those who commit crimes begin to string along other problems that would not exist if there was no participation in crime. Civilians tend to take extreme measures in order to minimize the possibility of being a victim of crime.Therefore, I hereby declare myself and other right doers independent of criminal acts.

Also, glorifying the use of illegal substances. In return, increasing the idea that drug use is acceptable. Therefore, I nearby declare the public eye independent from the false realities of the rich and famous.

  26. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to eliminate feelings of jealousy. This putrid emotion enhances one's negativity and resentment towards not only others, but themselves as well. It is inevitable that any being consumed by jealousy will be transformed into a detestable person, pervaded with a strong sense of animosity. Possessing this unfavorable trait does no good to one's mindset, and has the ability to give rise to poor consequences. Therefore, I hereby declare myself, and others who have been effected by this treacherous feature, independent from jealousy.

  27. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a student to refuse the evils and horrors of binge watching tv. Be it that this cruel friend exists to drag you in to the abyss that is the season long television. This creates the endless cycle of repeated offenders that cause the same problems that they enforce in itself. This poisonous addiction heighten levels of stress, decreases hours of sleep and make the students work twice as hard to avoid all pitfalls. Therefore from this moment forward I declare myself officially independent from the cruelty and prison of binge watching.

Pride, is an act of ignorance when taken far, anything when taken too far is defective. Pride is a form of negative thinking that effects not just individuals but their surroundings as well. Therefore, I hereby declare myself,independent from the feeling of pride.

The influence of the internet is ever present as most people will always be seen on their phone or other device as if it is an addiction. The internet has warped the meaning of the word social from actual human contact to just simple texts and voice calls instead of actual human interaction. The internet can be seen as a drug that gives people short lived moments in exchange for their freedom and thoughts. Therefore, I hereby declare myself independent from the opiate that is the internet.

  35. When in the course of Human Events it is necessary to dissolve the imperfections of makeup. Though one may think that beauty is not within them, they try to cover their imperfections with products hiding their true self. They feel less confident in the features that was given to them. Makeup can be the very cause of very serious skin problems, that will make your insecurities greater than before. The use of makeup can be toxic. You will feel as if it is a necessity to become ones self. It can make you into a different person, not showing the world whos really under the mask of fairytale beauty. In conclusion, I hereby declare myself as independent from the imperfections of beauty.

  36. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to separate ourselves from the high school known as Lawrence E Elkins. The campus is frigid and can lead to getting frostbite if not properly equipped with a jacket. The school also lacks cell phone service, which makes your cellular device essentially useless. The start time of the school is also way too early which results in sleepy students and accidents in the morning. Therefore, I declare myself independent from Lawrence E Elkins High School and will be continuing my education through homeschooling.

  38. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to limit time spent on the internet for the betterment of society. By encouraging the use of the internet in society as it is, people become more dependent on games and videos for entertainment rather than building social skills and exploring the world. The more time people spend sitting in front of a computer screen, the less time they spend maintaing a healthy lifestyle and making memories to carry with them for the rest of their lives. Bad influences are also more accessible to the public through the internet. Therefore I declare myself independent from the influence of the internet on my daily life and I will limit my time spent on it.

  40. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to dissolve ties to the action of sleeping late, a decent respect to sleep requires that humans declares the causes which impel them to the separation. Tiredness has imposed sleep onto humans without consent. Tiredness has invoked anger onto humans when woken early. Tiredness has created a dangerous road environment as it has increased risks of road accidents. We, therefore, solemnly publish and declare, that we ought to be free and independent, that we are absolved from conceding into the action of sleeping late.

This is a becoming a problem again and it should no longer be continued nor entertained, as it affects people negatively by providing false assumptions. Racism leads to violence and discrimination, as we have seen since the beginning of human creation all the way to current day. We should not discriminate each other based on skin color, as it only shows ignorance. Therefore, I declare myself independent from the problems deriving from racism.

  43. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary to cease the use of emojis. The widespread use of such is causing humanity to slowly diminish the ability to express the person's wholesome individuality. The inadequacy of an elaborate communication leads to numerous misinterpretation of thoughts, beliefs, opinions, and affection - and eventually the degradation of language.
    Although emojis may be promising in terms of its simplicity of approach to express emotions, emojis also reduces the significance or value of the style of the statement. It promotes human negligence towards wonderment of human pleasures and affections; and it is an ignominy to the evolution of the history of language itself. With my grievances listed as points for my stated argument, I therefore hereby declare the independence of myself - and for the sake of mankind - from the tarnish of human language known as emojis.

  47. When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one to dissolve the use of genders. The cruel practice of labeling humans as either a male or female produces as society of hate. Society has been persecuting those who do not fall under the current binary gender and has created a world of torture for the gender-less. Those who identify as an attack helicopter are left out economic opportunities, made fun of their choices, and considered second rate citizens. All humans have the right to equal rights, equal employment, and the protection from persecution whether they identify as male, female, or an Apache helicopter. We, therefore, the fleet of Boeing AH-64 Apache, declare independence from the binary genders.

  48. When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the chains of procrastination, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. Procrastination enables anyone to work at the last minute, and, thus, it creates a work of lower quality. It provides a newfound layer of stress after enjoying some time performing some unnecessary duties, which later involves a lack of sleep. By delaying the amount of time a person does their work, he or she also delays his or her responsibilities. I, therefore, solemnly publish and declare that I am independent from procrastination.

  49. When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the binding chains of swim team. The separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. The schedule and work of being a member of swim team is far too rigorous and exhausting for those with equally challenging academics To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
    Practice at 5:30 AM four times a week cuts into the already diminishing sleep schedule of a tired student.
    Rigorous sprint practices aren't always effective and make students tired before they even reach school.
    Teachers do not consider swim meets to be an adequate excuse for not doing homework, even when you get home at 10:30 PM.
    We, therefore, resolve that the broken ties with swim team will result in higher performance at school.

Unhealthy foods lead to many Americans being overweight and unhealthy. It is hard to find food that is nutritionally acceptable due to manufacturers adding in unnecessary sugars and fats.

Repeatedly while driving, people will change into your lane, without using their indicators. This leads to people getting angry, having to change the way they drive, and in extreme cases, accidents. People that do not use their indicators not only abuse their power, but their privilege to drive. We, therefore, declare that those who do not use their turn signals be tried and punished for their crimes.

  59. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve not wanting to give up their old antique materials to the Salvation Army. Not wanting to donate to non profit organizations is a cruel trait that is picked up by with selfishness and lack of understanding what is needed for other people. When others come and are in need of clothes and possessions, the desire to not want to give up your old clothes can hinder you from doing great help. It not only destroys another's sense of will and hope, but also plagues the mind of the one who is not willing to give up their own and turns them into heartless "creatures" that have no empathy towards other human beings. So, therefore, starting from today's date and onward, I free myself from this sense of not wanting to give my old antiques to the Salvation Army, and all those who are enslaved by it as well.

  60. When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to stop putting off exercise as teens. At this age, people are usually too busy with homework, social media, SAT, ACT college applications, etc. or they're just plain lazy. While it is important to exercise no matter what stage of life you're in, it mostly counts now as exercise at this age will greatly impact your health in later years. Unfortunately, it will only get worse once people get to college where there are more options of fast food that are either too tempting to refuse or are your only choices. Therefore, I declare myself as free from the evils of procrastinating in exercise that people have fallen victim to time and time again and will refuse to become fat.

    from the sin of lying. From the days of old, lying has existed and caused people
    to use their very own hands and create havoc. The act has branched into other
    sins including cheating, stealing, and manipulating. Lying is the root of all evil.
    Therefore, I declare myslef independent from this action and vow to only side
    with the truth.
