 A note from Mom and Dad:  Our girls would love to hear from other young SkepKids. We are seeking to foster critical thinking skills in our children and we hope that this online &apos;journal&apos; might help our kids in their development.  If grownups would like to comment on anything written here you can also go to our family site: SkepticalFamily.com.  </subtitle>

        <![CDATA[<p>When I was at school we had this test to write down words. One of the words was WON, like "I won a race". I spelled it WON. I saw my friends and they wrote down ONE. Then I crossed out the WON and I changed it ONE because I thought they were the ones who were right. But, they were wrong so I was wrong when I crossed out my WON and changed it to ONE. So the lesson I learned was just because your friends think something is true it doesn't mean it is true. I learned that you can believe in yourself and write down what you think is true, you don't have to listen to your friends. You shouldn't copy off of people too.</p>
<p>Do you have stories like this, where you listened to your friends over yourself? </p>
