NanoWriMo is excessive and pointless. We literally learn nothing from it, and if anything, we decrease our typing skills by not correcting errors. On top of that, there is the added stress of knowing we are going to write an entire book, most of which will be added to our already copious amounts of homework will in no way give us more sleep, or add time for us to be social. Most people who would ask their parents what they did in their free time at our age would say something like play outside or hang out with friends. What we are stuck doing instead is a 20-50 thousand word novel along with the 3-5 hours of homework given to us already. None of us need the added stress of an entire novel but if this is not signed before we start, we are guaranteed to have it. This petition will not secure our right to a small amount of freetime a day, but signing this will let all who see your signature, including the teacher, you believe that as teenagers we deserve to maintain our anually dwindling freetime that keeps us from dieing of exhaustion.
