I'm surprised that this wasn't asked yet: have you ever cosplayed as a T-Rex?

Not OP, however:

My phone has been losing charge when plugged into my computer

Chargers can provide more power than your PC. When you're actively using your phone the power consumption can be greater than the power delivered from the computer USB Port.

or plugged into the same outlet as my computer.

You mean that the charger is in the same AC outlet as your PC. And the phone is in the charger?
The AC outlet doesn't make any difference. The reason has to be something else (e.g. you're using your device more often).

Would a new battery fix this?

Does the phone get very hot while charging? Charging a phone creates heat. If it gets too hot the phone can slow down the charging to prevent it from overheating.
A new battery will have a lower internal resistance. Which basically means it gets less hot while charging/discharging it with the same power. So having a newer battery could fix this problem.

You could get some fake blood.
Have your sister talk with someone that doesn't know you in another room. She comes to your room to use something sharp or otherwise dangerous.
Apply theblood, , hide your fingers, start crying and go back into the room

Do you think it's a good thing to lock people up for a majority of their time?
What I want to say is: The goal of putting someone into prison is to make him feared of getting locked up again. So he wouldn't commit a crime again (or would not commit a crime in the first place).
Wouldn't it be better for the vast majority of people if they get some real help?
