Romeo Killed Everyone!!

In William Shakespeare’s play, Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is responsible for just about everyone’s death. If it hadn't been for him then 8 people including Romeo wouldn't have died. You might be saying to yourself, “That’s kind of harsh,” well that’s where you’re wrong! Romeo, throughout the whole play, let his emotions get the best of him which is the main reason why a lot of people died. If Romeo would have just thought logically before acting then none of this would have happened.

The play starts off with Romeo being extremely depressed about some girl that doesn't love him. As the play progresses one of Romeo’s friends suggests that they should attend this party that every single one of their enemies are going to be at, otherwise known as mistake number one! They arrive at the get-together wearing masks. This was supposed to hide their identities, apparently it was logical back then to cover your face and enter the gathering place of people who hate you. In the middle of the party Romeo spots Juliet and decides that he loves her. Romeo, completely forgetting about the other girl, proceeds to talk Juliet into kissing him. Then Juliet goes home and talks to herself about how deeply she’s in love with Romeo whom she met merely a few hours before then. Romeo just so happened to be underneath Juliet’s balcony and heard everything she said. So logically he hops out the bushes that he wasn't hiding behind and basically says “Hey I love you too!!” So Juliet, not wanting anyone to think that she’s promiscuous, decides that the best thing to do is get married. So Romeo and Juliet, despite their family’s feud, make wedding plans because they are just so in love! The rest of the play consists of: Romeo killing Juliet’s cousin, Romeo being banned from the city,

Juliet pretending to kill herself, Romeo killing her other fiancé,  Romeo thinking she’s dead and killing himself, her waking up and actually killing herself, and last but not least his mother dying of a broken heart. The people that didn't die realized that the family feud was stupid and ended it after a large quantity of the main characters died.

Obviously Romeo is to blame for the deaths of 8 people. If there was an award for the most deaths within a short period of time he would get 1^st place. He was better off moping around his room in the dark instead of going out and putting people’s lives and social statuses at risk. Of course he didn't do it all by himself Juliet took part in the nonsense as well, but Romeo is the one who got the ball rolling. If he hadn't of let his emotions get the best of him then he would've realized how ignorant it was of him to marry someone he’d only known for a few hours. This and many other reasons are why Romeo is responsible for those 8 peoples’ death.

P.s. I wrote this so that my teacher can see how I'm doing in high school!!! 

How to survive with 4 siblings

Everybody just stop talking! Well you might be wondering why exactly I would be screaming and towards who you might ask. Very easy answer I have had to live with four siblings for the past 7 years since my smallest brother was born with him it became four siblings. You have two little brothers fighting 1 asking for HW help and another older brother asking for an opinion on his presentation. For this you will need 5 basic steps to survive living with them.

Patience
Patience would have to be the most important thing ever you would need to survive with four siblings. Patience is essential for when you have four siblings, and you are the only sister. It is also good to have patience because without it you would probably give up easily on handling four siblings and you will most likely stress out too much. It actually has been of great benefit to have patience since three of my brothers are smaller than me. Therefore I have learned how to survive with them and patience is important.

Learn when to ignore them
It might be obvious when to ignore your siblings but,sometimes you need to know if it is right to ignore them of what they are doing. What I mean is that if they are doing something bad and it could make someone come out crying then don't ignore them then do something about it. Otherwise if they are not in risk of getting hurt then you could ignore them. Just remember that when you ignore your older brother in giving him your opinion about his presentation or essay its better to just listen. Although it may be boring you will have an opportunity of asking for help next time and if he doesn't want to help you than just use what he made you do against him. This is why you need to learn when to ignore them I've learned and have experienced throughout the time.

Be understanding
Make sure to always try to  understand your brothers but not always. For example if your little brother wants candy and he already ate one then make sure you tell him kindly that he already had  one and other people want some candy also. Although your all your siblings beg you and do little nice and innocent faces you need to learn to be undarstanding and just split whatever you have into equal pieces. You also need to understand that if you have to give candy to two of your brothers and one of them is a little older than the other one than make sure you give the smallest one first. Otherwise you might get in trouble with your parents that's if your little brothers snitch on you.

Intelligence
Intellegence is important to have when ever you have 4 siblings and 3 of them are smaller than you. You need to be intelligent to be able to trick them and make them fall into your jokes. You might also want to have intelligence when your older sibling is a nerd. This would be so you could defend yourself from whenever your brother talks to you nerdy mean stuff. Remember intelligence is always good to have.

Superior Intellect 
You always need to make sure you have a superior intellect. It could help you for when you want to prank one of your siblings. That way you will always have the perfect plan to succeed with anything you want towards your brothers. Lastly always try to be your best towards brothers but not always.

In conclusion just remember you will always have your ups and downs with your siblings. Also remember kids are kids so they won't always do what you want. Therefore you will always need superior intellect, intelligence, understanding, ignorancebut, best of all the most important thing is patience.     

How To Survive Being A Mixed Kid

Welcome to the world of being an interracial child, with your pretty hair, tan skin, and blue eyes. Well that description doesn't apply to all mixed people but it will do. Get ready for questions, touching, and awkward remarks. You will now step into a life that mono-race earthlings don't know about....

Learn To Love The Racial Remarks 

Photo By: ~odhessa

Everyone has them, GET USED TO THEM! You can't get offended by what someone says about your race/culture, each person is different and they handle things differently, but seriously come on its just words they wont hurt you. For example, I am a mixed person, I have been called EVERYTHING from the "N word" to "cracker", Those childish words don't physically hurt me, so the way to deal with those racial words is to just brush it off and say "whatever". Trust me life would be so much easier if you learn to EMBRACE THE MEAN WORDS.

Be Yourself

No matter what your mixed with don't let the other race dominate your whole being, remember it is just a color not a lifestyle. For example if you don't like being who you are then well I'm sorry you have to learn how to live with it! Whatever you friends say don't mind them, like if you dress "white" and your mixed with black don't be let down if your friend says, "Oh why do you dress like that your black". STEREOTYPING, it sucks to deal with but if you think about it you have the best of many worlds, so you could pull off most of anything without comments.....most of the time. Just remember your inner self, down let a nationality ruin that.

Don't Be Conceited 

MIxed raced children are known for their pretty features. Like hair for example, if you have beautiful locks don't be surprised if someone you don't know touches them or comments on them. When you get these comments don;t be rude, just politely say thank you. Now let's twist this, if someone is looking at you "funny" don't just assume its because your pretty/handsome. Just brush it off like it never happened , because seriously compliments could be taken to the head and then well, your known as that person who's into themselves.

Remember Your A Human Being

Don't put other people down because of there skin color, and remember if your mixed with who your putting down think of it as you putting down your family. We all have our moments but I see this alot, where a mixed child doesn't like a certain race and they put them down, but when you ask them they say "Well I can because I am (insert nationality here)". No no no no NO, it doesn't matter we are ALL HUMAN....  If we treat each other wrong and come up with that stupid excuse then the world would be discriminating everyone and say "Oh well I'm Human".

Have Fun

Look you have MANY cultures to choose from! Learn about them, all of them. It never hurts typing in a few words, or picking up and reading a few books. Sometimes we don't have our past relatives there to tell us stories so we have to find out. Think about it maybe you could dress up as them or tell your kids about your family history, and the cool thing is you'll have many different countries to talk about.

Its pretty cool to have different cultures in the family. One day I want to travel across the world to see and learn about where my family was from, and you can too! Life is too short to waste with silly remarksm and being mad over little things, be positive, have fun. This our world, welcome to your part.

How To Survive Crossing the Border

                                           roberthuffstutter




To survive jumping the border is doing the following. Pacing your self with water watch out for the helicopters, watch out for the border control you have to pace yourself with water, and try not to get caught.




Step 1: Pace your self with water.


You have to pace your self with water when your crossing the border. Because you walk for a long time and your in the desert. Also if you run out of water your pretty much going to dehydrate. Another thing is that you don't drink the water just to drink it. Because you have to make it last. If your thirsty you have to just drink a little bit.


Step 2: You always have to watch out for the helicopters


You have to watch out for the helicopters because if they spot you then your going to get cuaght. Also if you see 1 you have to hide in the bushes or trees or plants.  Another thing is that if have to warn others if you hear one. Also if have to hide until you don't see it or hear it nearby. For example you hide behind a bush or something right away.


Step 3: Immigration or Border Control


You have to watch out for the border control.  For example  they might be on quuads, trucks,  or on foot. If you see one you either have to hide or run. But most of the time you have to run. Because if you hide its more of a chance there going to find you.  If your going to run you better run like you never ran before  because if you get caught they will send you back to the country your from.


Step 4: Pacing Your Self with Food


You have to pace your self with food because you have to have energy. Also you have to make your food last until your in the United States. Or until you go to a safe house. another thing is that you cant last more days than you thought you were gonna last. So you have to take care of your food. You have to eat because you need energy to be walking all those in the hills.


Step 5; Don't Get Caught
Try not to get caught because if you do you have to go to the immigration system. When you do that the immigration people take like if you were in jail. They check your record to see if you've tried to cross the border illegally before. Next they will to take you back to your country. and next they tell you that you can't go into the United States for a certain amount of years.

How To Survive: Junior High;)

Well surviving junior high is pretty hard. Being in junior high is like paddling in the ocean non-stop for over an hour!basically its tiring. It also makes you want to pull your hair out sometimes.

This is probably how some people feel while at junior high.
Nice Clothes and Shoes
The first step to surviving junior high is having nice clothes, shoes and awesome hair. A reason why its good to have those three things is because there are some really mean people at juniors highs who will talk about you if you come to school looking not so good. Some people I know will say stuff like "You look like a hobo" or "did you find those clothes in the dumpster". They just say some stupid stuff that doesn't really need to be said like that person could be going through something and your sitting up there making fun of them like really.

Awesome Personality
The second step to surviving junior high is that you should come to school with an awesome personality. A reason being is because if you come to school with a horrible attitude no body is going to want to hang out with and then you will have no friends and be a loner, well in less you find some people who are just like you. Its also good to have an awesome personality because you will probably have a lot of friends who will have your back and be there through thick or thin. And with that personality you will probably not be in that much drama, well in less there are people jealous of you.

Have A Lot of Good Friends
The third step to surviving junior high is if you have a lot of good friends to back you up if your in drama or something. Another reason why its good to have a lot of friends is because if your an only child, like me, you can always have your friends over if you get bored or something. Its also good to have them around if you need to get out of trouble or if you get blamed for something you did at school. A last reason why its good to have a lot of good friends is because they can give you some good advice if, well if you need it.

STAY OUT OF DRAMA
The fourth reason is stay out of drama! Just whatever you do just stay out of it. Its kind of like being in a mafia because once your in it you lose almost everything like your friends and sometimes your business gets out there. Its also hard to get out of it because like everywhere you go its right behind you, stocking you like prey and ready to pounce on you like a cheetah! But the worst part about being in drama is when you lose your close friends because now who do you have to tell your secrets to, to goof around with and to be yourself around, NO ONE! and you do not want that because then you start to feel guilty and so does other person but sometimes that person still doesn't want to be friends with you, which is all bad because they know everything about you, all your secrets even the bad ones!

Don't Tell Your Business to Everyone
The final step to surviving junior high is don't tell your business to everyone. Sometimes you shouldn't even tell your best friend because if you guys get in an argument and your friend has a huge grudge towards you, then she/he may tell everybody your business and you don't want that. Some people may even switch your little secret around so you look bad and then everybody is probably not going to want nothing to do with you, which is all bad. Thats why you should sometimes keep your mouth zipped, especially if its something nasty or weird. Another thing is if someone tells you their business and then later on you guys get in argument, be the bigger person and don't tell their business to everyone even if they may have done that to, well in less your the kind of person who seeks revenge>:).

As you can see going to junior high is tiring, just like paddling in the ocean. But if you follow these five steps then I'm sure you can stop paddling and just float and let the ocean take you to safety...maybe.

How to survive: Tutoring Little Kids

Tutoring little kids IS difficult, especially when you don't like them!

I used to go over to the elementary school and tutor the 1st and 2nd graders and it. was. HORRIBLE. If you thought I hated little kids before you wouldn't even understand how I feel about them now. But even though I can't stand small people, I know make sure they don't know. Thus making me an expert on Tutoring Little Kids! Follow these 5 rules:

Rule #1: Be nice. If you're nice to them then they trust you. This one little boy that sat at my table used to act so nice to me. Why? because he trusted me. It turns out he trusted me so much he decided that he could say WHATEVER he wanted. Its up to you to imagine how that went.

Rule #2: Don't where clothing with words on it. Especially inappropriate ones because they WILL want to know what it is. I have this one shirt from odd future and all the little kids were like " TEACHER WHAT DOES THAT SAAAAY?" I hate being called teacher. Stupid little kids.

Rule #3: DO NOT SAY I DON'T KNOW IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEN YOU BETTER GO FIND OUT CAUSE THEY WILL NOT LET IT GO!!!! When I was little I used to keep on asking why. I think we all did . Anyways I used to ask why something was something else and if my mom didn't know then I wanted to know why she didn't know. If I asked my dad something he knew the answer. He ALWAYS knew the answer, and to this day I don't ask him anything because I don't want him to ramble.

Rule #4: Give them little candies or . It makes them feel good about themselves. I swear If you tell a little something bad about themselves they will grow up hate you and do it to other people. AND I'm sure you don't want to be 56 years old and have some random dude trying to kill you because you told him his socks were ugly!

Rule #5: Don't bore them. Make the things that come out of mouth sound COOL AND AMAZING! For example, HEY BOYS AND GIRLS ARE YOU READY TO LEARN!!!! I'm sure that would sound amazing if I was like 6. I tried it to most of the time it works but other times you get those kids who think they're above everybody else and then they say stuff like, "you're lame Mr. teacher man!" Those kids you have to go the extra mile and do step #4 but with better prizes like large candy bars.

This one teacher told me I was really good with kids and I just looked at her laughed and said I hate them. Not because they don't know that y=mx+b but because once little kids turn 5 they start to develop a personality. I'm not saying personality is bad but IT SURE IS ANNOYING! But hey if you like little kids then by all means TUTOR AWAY! And if you don't then stay away from them because they're evil and I would know I used to growl.

Surviving Parents Argument "!!!!!

       How to survive when your parents are in a argument and you're in the middle of it.    
 -The first step is NEVER agree with one of them.
Agreeing with one of your parents over the other one is the worst thing to do. You should not do this or you will hurt your parents feelings. Also by just agreeing with one of them will get you on their bad side. Your parents will give you that EVIL look.
   - Second DO NOT pick side!!!
If you pick side you are going to make one parent look superior then the other one, and it's going to start more chaos. This one is basically like rule one but more specific.
- Third and most important step don't EVER TALK/ give YOUR OPINION
By giving your opinion is going to become in to a life lesson to you. If your parent asks for "what you think" just stay quite and they will just keep talking. If you tell them "what you think" they will yell at you and give you a speech on how they are right.
 So best way to survive your parents argument without getting yelled at and almost killed is to STAY OUT OF IT!!!

Group Work -.-

Photo by: AlyssaDreadful

     I absolutely hate group work! I'm more of a let me do it myself kind of person. Teachers think that group work is the best thing ever, but they have no idea how stressful it is! I know it might help with our social skills or something but come on not everyone is like a Wonder Pet !Well, I think its really my fault, I don't really like to interact with people. There are SOME good things about group work. If the project is huge then it would help to have an extra hand around to help, so you don't spread yourself too thin. Also you have other minds to throw out ideas that maybe you would have never even thought of. Other than that I can't stand it... And here is why:

    I can't stand slackers ! Do NOT ask to be my partner if you wont do a thing to help. Slackers seem to just sit back and let the other person do the work. Yes, they ask if i need help but when I need something their most likely unprepared. Remember this is BOTH of our grade and if I get anything lower than my standards I'm come for YOU. Also, these people get the same grade/credit, even if they didn't even touch on the situation. I know this shouldn't tick me off as much as it does but I worked my soul off getting stuff done and you just sit there. If your thinking you get a free ride to an A, don't be surprise when I leave to do my own thing.

    I love working ALONE! I know what I want/need for anything thats thrown at me. Instead of dealing with othe opinions like "Oh i dont like that" or "Umm.... Thats cool I guess...". NO ! I'm too creative for that, my mind is like a dreamland of greatness, if someone puts down that greatness with something bland I FREAK ! Plus many times I have a project with group workers I'm working my butt off for perfection, and if it's not perfect i just say "Do what you want, I tried, I'm done". After I say that the "slackers" go crazy and end up asking for help in the end. So if I'm going to do the work, might as well make my own project.

    Some may say that group work could help with "social skills" but honestly if not everyone is helping then it's not really a GROUP project. Like Batman I'd rather work alone, and I'll call Robin IF I need help.

Group work

Is group work good or bad? Group work can be seen as a positive thing to help or a negative but everyone has a different point of view about group work. Will group work always work or not? Depends on the situation well for my case it does. Will you get something good out of group work? Whether you make something good out of it and actually are fair. Personally I think that group work is good and helpful.

Reasons why group work could be good
Group work could be good because there is always an opportunity to meet new people. You also get to see their abilities to do different stuff and you could always learn from someone new a new ability. It could also be good because you get to split the work in equal parts so it will not be whole lots of work when you do a project. Therefore it's not so much home work or projects and you won't have to stress out. This are the positive ways you could look at group work.

Reasons why group work could be bad
Group work could be bad because there might be a situation where all of your members are lazy and effortless.Thefore that would mean more work for yourself and more effort has to be put in to it. It could also be bad because you might get chosen with the same person again and again that you might not like or not want in your group.  Inclusively the fact that the project might be big and is worth a lot of points and you don’t finish it thanks to your other teammates that would also stink. Lastly this group work thing might not always work for you because you might be used to working alone.

Conclusively this means that it’s whether up to you if group work works for you or not. Or it could be up to you wheteher to make your group work fun or not. Just remember all you do is do the right thing to make group work actually work.

GROUP WORK !!!!?? :D

Group work good or bad? So, is working in groups good or bad for student? I think is somehow good and bad. First of all I think working in groups is good because, it gives kids a chance to get to know each other. I also think group work is good for kids that aren't that social because it makes them more social and less shy. Group work has been okay for me, I get ideas from my partners and we work things out. If you work in groups it could be easier to come up with new things. Sometimes people have more imagination and are more creative then other people and that's why is good to work in groups.

Now the bad things about group work is that if you get a lazy partner you're going to have to do all the work. People don't always think the same or like different things and this is bad when you're working in groups. Also some people are very bossy and mean and I would hate being in a group with someone like that. What also sucks about group work is that there are some people that hate humanity and dislike working with strangers. When people think they are better then others or dislike their partners makes other people feel bad and not want to do group works.

So that is what I think about group work is bad but good at times, it all just depends and for cocky people stop being rude, and if you are going to be in a group make the best of it don't b mean okay bye.

Group Work : Good or Bad

Photo By : Sean MacEntee I personally believe group work is not such a good idea, Why?. Well, because think about in some (most) groups people almost, always group up with their friends. Which I think is really stupid to do. If you group up with your friends your probably going to end up talking during the whole thing and your not going to get any work done, or your friend might get too comfterble and ask you to do the work for the rest of the group, but because you don't want to get a bad grade you say yes to your so called "friends" and you end up doing all the work. Unfortunately I have gone through this experience in the past, and me and my so called "group" ended up getting a "B". I'm not saying a "B" is a bad grade but, we or should I say "I" got a "B" because I was the ONLY one doing the work, while the rest of my so called "group" just sat back and enjoyed their day. I'm not saying all group work is bad, there are some good parts to working in a group. For example, you get to share different ideas if it is that your group members are at all participating.

Drinking age

Everywhere you go there are many different opinions about whether to keep the drinking age the same or lowering it to 18. Many people believe the drinking age should stay at age 21. Why increase alcohol consumption by youth? There is other people who want to lower the drinking age to 18. So why would they want to risk more teens lives. I believe the drinking age should stay at 21.

My first reason they drinking age should stay at 21 is because there shouldn't be any reason not to save 800 lives a year. There have been researchers showing rates and statistics about alcohol. for example....''back in the 1790s, a number of states lowered the drinking age from 21 to 18, and we saw an increase in alcohol consumption by youth. When it was raised again in1984 back to 21,we saw lower consumption of alcohol, and we've kept those lower rates.

My second reason why I believe we should keep the drinking age to 21 is because there has been more research that show that it is bad to lower the drinking age to 18. "The research shows that if a youth starts drinking alcohol before age 14, their chances of becoming addicted or having an alcohol -related crash or getting into a fight increases....” There are also more probabilities of a younger teen to be drinking alcohol. "A 16 year old or a 14 -year old doesn't look 21, but they may look 18." This is my second reason why I disagree with lowering the drinking age to 18.

I think that there are some dumb arguments in the side of why we should lower it to 18. For example "...The person could drink with permission of the parent or in the parents home....” I mean please what kind of teenager would ask for permission to their parents to drink alcohol or to get drunk. I disagree with lowering the drinking age to 18 because there really isn't enough good arguments on why to lower the drinking age to 18. My opinion is that if you were to know teens they are all not really good kids you could always trust  and less trust you should have when talking about alcohol. Therefore I disagree with lowering the drinking age to 18 and I want it to stay at 21.

Group Work

                           

Group work is good but bad at  the same time. Because it depends who you pick to be your group. If you pick the right people it will come out to be a good job on your project. But if you put it will not be good.

For example I kind of like it but not really. Most of the groups I've been in have been pretty good. Because I like to be in groups with people that are hardworking and not lazy. If all the people are hard working you can split the project equally. Or else you can go to one of the group members house and do it there. Another thing group members can do is stay after school and do it after school. But if your group members are lazy then its going to be bad. If your group members are lazy your going to end up having to do 75% or of the work. Also you will get frustrated of the other group members not doing the work and might end up breaking up the group.  But I like group work because you don't have to do the whole project by yourself if you have good group members.

SO YOU THINK GROUP WORK IS GOOD FOR STUDENTS?!?!?

I'm sorry but whoever told you that lied. Group work has to be the most sure-fire way to cause stress in kids and teenagers. As if it wasn't bad enough that we have to take all those tests and put our free time into making worthless projects! Now you guys want us to work with some random kids who we probably don't even like. If you really think about it teachers HARDLY EVER let kids pick their group! Usually when this happens there are only 3 types of people involved.
1. The Slacker: Usually pulls out their phone and ignores everything anyone says. Most likely to get you an "F".
2. The Excuse Machine:" Yea Jenny I'll bring everything on Saturday," and shows up at your house with a pencil and a mouth full of excuses!
3. The Forget you guys I'll do it myself then: This person usually becomes very controlling and never gets married(ha!).

There was this one time, recently, where I had a bad experience with group work.(Excuse the code names) Our history teacher,the Tapatio Man, let us pick 3 people to be in our group. I picked Crack Baby Jenkins(CBJ) and Big Head(BH) . I picked CBJ because she can draw and BH because she writes pretty! So it was really hard to meet up for the project but we ended up doing it 2 or 3 days before it was due. CBJ and I were working on the pictures when my mom made us realize that BH was probably at home sippin on some applesauce..... We weren't about to have that!!! When we went to school the next day we gave her some pictures and she said she would color them and then we would glue them on the poster board. Sounds good right? Nothing could have possibly gone wrong. Unless someone forgets to bring the pictures and who better then BH to be the one to do it. Look OK I didn't just get mad and have an attitude because she forgot the pictures. I got mad because she didn't say sorry, she said her phone was off so she couldn't call her mom for them, AND SHE DOESN'T KNOW HER MOTHER'S NUMBER BY HEART!!!! I don't even have to say it cause you guys know that there's something wrong with that!! The worst part about it was the fact that she texted me...ON HER PHONE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY OFF! On top of that she said she was sorry......for getting mad at me. The rest of it is just girl drama, but do you see why group projects are B.A.D? My goodness people whatever you DO NOT PULL A BIG HEAD and tick off people like me!

Now its time for my inside joke: With something to think about,

this is Mr.Adams. Make it a Great day or not; The choice is yours.

Group Work....Ummmm...

Photo By:rockinpaddy
Well group work has its ups and downs. Sometimes it can be awesome but other times I just to want pull my hair out or fight somebody(especially when I'm annoyed).

A reason why working together is awesome is because when you or a friend are stuck on something you guys can work together as a group. You can also hangout with your friends and you guys can all do the project together. An you guys technically don't have to just talk about the project you guys can also talk about other stuff.

A reason why working together is horrible is because the other people(your friends) don't do squat! Which is super annoying, like really its not that hard to glue a piece of paper or something to a piece of cardboard! They act like they have to run a cross country race! Its also annoying when your friends come up with stuff, but their talking about a whole different thing.

For example:your project is about world history but there throwing ideas out that have to do with P.E. like really!you can seat up there and talk about P.E. but you can't talk about the assignment.#ANNOYING! and thats how I feel about group work.

P.S. if your friend asks to do a project with you and when you guys worked together before and they didn't do squat all you have to say is WORK TOGETHER MY BUTT!.

Drinking Age Debate

In the article we read in class. It debates whether the drinking age should be lowered to18 or  be kept at 21. some believe that it should be lowered t o18 if you get a drinking permit. But I think it should stay the same, why fix something that doesn't need to be fixed.

I agree with the drinking age to stay at 21 because there is no problem with it. Also I think that it should stay at 21 because, if you start drinking at a young age you will become a alcoholic. Another reason is that if they lower it, you get a permit. What will happen next a student taking out a beer in class saying teacher i have a  drinking permit. Also since they have kept it at 21, it has saved 800 live a year.

One thing I think that is ridiculous is the DARE program. This is a program that is in 70% of the schools in the country and there is no evidence that it is working. So its just a waste of money and time, and if this is a waste of money and time who says that this drinking permit isn't. So this is ridiculous and there is no evidence that Dare helps students, it actually more to into drinking and people to drink more frequently. Another reason why its dumb to lower the drinking age because if they lower it a lot of teens are driving by 18 and if you mix that with drinking that will be a lot of fatalities.

Is Lowering The Drinking Age A Good Idea?

There is a debate going on if the drinking age should be lowered to 18 or stay at 21, like why lower it if its working? The people who think that it should be lowered to 18 are arguing that if you learn about alcohol and get a permit you will have the privilege to drink. But the other side says that leaving it at 21 is great because it saves about 800 lives per year. So thats I believe that the drinking age should stay at 21.
My first reason why I believe it should stay at 21 is because there has been less car accidents that had to deal with drinking. An by bringing the age up to 21 800 lives per year have been saved. Binge drinking has also lowered down in 8th-12th graders. In the 70's most states lowered the age of drinking to18 an there was an increase alcohol consumption. But then in the 80's they brought the drinking age back up to 21 and now there are lower alcohol consumptions.
My second reason why keeping the drinking age at 21 is because if we were to lower the drinking age back to 18 again more kids would have an advantage to get alcohol in there system. A reason why they would have an advantage is because a 14 year old or a 16 year old can get away with looking like a 18 year old but they wouldn't be able to get away as a 21 year old. Another reason why I don't think its a good idea to lower the drinking age to 18 is because once a 17 year old turns 18 they will won't to go crazy and party like a so called rockstar which leads them into getting super drunk and they may get in a fight or do something they will regret the next morning.
As you can see lowering the drinking age to 18 doesn't do NO JUSTICE TO THE USA. So why lower it when it does needs to be lowered.

The Right Drinking Age?

In this world some people are debating about the right drinking age. Some people think the right age for drinking is 21. These people say that by making the drinking age 21 and up more life's would be saved. They also think lowering the drinking age would be a waste of time and money. Others in fact, believe the drinking age should be lowered as long as 18 year old have a permit. They also believe that if they lower the drinking age, they should teach 18 year old not to abuse alcohol.

My opinion about all this is, that the drinking age should be lowered to 18. One of the reasons I believe this, is because rising the drinking age would get more kids in trouble. My point is that since kids that are 18 are not allow to buy beer or alcohol they are sometimes tempted to steel it, and this is bad for the stores to because when someone steels something they loss money. Another reason is like this article said since 18 year old are allowed to join the army they might as well be able to buy beer at the same age .     

DON'T LET 18 YEAR OLDS DRINK !

     Drinking age, should it stay at 21 or lowered to 18 if they have a permit ? Debate about this issue has been going on lately for some time now. One side believes we should keep it at 21, and the other believe to lower it. I believe we should keep it at 21. Its worked for all these years... Why change it ?

     The cause is trying to PREVENT underage drinking. Hear me out but how is LOWERING the age going to prevent UNDERAGE drinking. aren't we trying to not have kids consume alcohol? Now if they do lower it to 18 then the person would need a permit and education on "safe drinking". ANYONE could get educated on safe drinking, even a 5 year old. Knowing people these days, the possibly of that plan working is very slim, I mean if DARE doesn't work, whats the chance of this working too? Plus its a waste of time and money. Who wants to spend a chunk of time just to learn about drinking? I WOULDN'T. Its going to take some money for the classes and the permit ! By the time you get to the store to by you a $6-10 pack of beer you'll be broke ! In my eyes no DRINK is worth all of the hassle.

     "Raising the drinking age to 21 has saved about 800 lives a year" ! 10 years from now that would be 8,000 lives. If we lowered the drinking age, 8,000 live might be taken or greatly effected in a negative way. Ever since they raised the age binge drinking among younger kids had decreased. If we lower it then that percentage is just going to shoot back up. Also most teens under 18 look 18, all they need to do is get that permit and then they'll be drinking too, or an 18 year old friend can get them some. Now if these younger teens start drinking alcohol, their chances of getting addicted, getting into a car crash, or getting into fights INCREASE ! That is BAD ! By lowering the age your actually increasing the chance of a kid dying or getting severely injured.

     I Like the whole getting educated on safe drinking idea, BUT we shouldn't lower the age. Think about how many lives could be in danger, especially with more people on the road drunk. If you want to prevent under age drinking then lowering the age is definitely not the answer.
