Throughout the book the main theme focused on the relationships within Lockie’s family, with his girlfriend Vicki and between Lockie and his teachers. I understood the points they were making, but in real life I do not think we act like this. An example of this “Lockie pulled her down on him and felt her breasts crushing against his chest.” (Page 66). Lockie and Vicki were making out in the room with the pool table, but in real life we do not normally act like this at such a young age (13). Normally teenagers hang out with their friends and do not spend all their time with one girl/boy.

ADVENTURES IN BABYSITTING Persuasive Messages: Adventures in Babysitting Shamica Emory Ameritech College BUS COMP: 03 Assignment Mrs. B Gilyot 04 July 2011 Have one book that I love and would like for you to read. There was a saying “Don’t kill the babysitter.” The saying should be “Don’t let the babysitter kill you.” That’s what this whole book is about.

Thirty-six percent say it is easy for students to use drugs, drink or smoke during the school day without getting caught. This year’s survey once again looks at teen social networking and found that 75 percent of 12- to 17-year olds say that seeing pictures of teens partying with alcohol or marijuana on Facebook, MySpace or another social networking site encourages other teens to want to party like that. The CASAColumbia survey also looks at the impact of teens being left home alone overnight and parental expectations on teen substance use. This survey also reveals that teenage addicts start a young age (usally age 12) due to the lack of supervision from their parents. Addiction is harder when teenagers are affraid to admit they are addicted because they don't want to feel like an outcast, however some are even scared that they might be

Let me tell you a little bit about Patty. She was a bright, outgoing, young woman who had intentions of going to Chapman University in the fall. Unfortunately, Patty struggled with an eating disorder since she was in middle school. She, like many, went to food to take away her stress. Earlier this year, Patty Desolatia tried to help her fellow classmates when she reported Kyle for having prescription drugs.
Assignment 2: Research Proposal Kristi Ord Professor Danny Meadows ENG 215 Research and Writing January 19, 2014 The topic I choose for my research paper is “Should changes be made to regulations for mental health drugs for minors?” One reason I chose this topic is personal. My ex-husband tried to get on of our boys diagnosed with ADHD and the other with Autism. He was raised to think that if a child is medicated they are easier to deal with. He felt that if they were on medication and zoned out that he did not have to watch them. I feel that there are too many parents this day that feel that way.
Dr Mitch Spero, a practitioner at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Holly wood and the director of Child & Family Psychologists, is quoted in this text insisting “When the kids bring the medication to school, they’ll offer it to a friend without realizing that if someone does have a cardiac disorder, it can lead to serious health problems.” In making this comment, Joe DiMaggio is saying that if students without ADHD took medication like Adderall can be very dangerous because they might have underlying cardiac, and are not aware of. Those students with the prescription and bring these ADHD medication to school, they cannot be stop but for those students who don’t have ADHD should be more concern about their health, and are aware of the consequences to prevent themselves from worst diseases and even
Due to this idea, we discussed it with the prom committee and we came to a conclusion. We understand that teenagers, mostly for girls, are shy to come forward and ask for a condom. Instead of Milliken Mills High School students coming toward to ask, the prom committee would place condoms at the back on their prom ticket. Normally, once they pay, they receive but to change things around a bit, the prom committee would hang out their tickets 2 days before prom. Therefore, other students won’t know who is receiving a condom – it’s embarrassing to certain people.
