Rachel Shumate Mrs. Doss English 10 12/5/12 Why People Should Not Drive Drunk Every year 1.5 million people get pulled over for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). One third of those people are repeat offenders, who even though they got pulled over once, go out and drive drunk again because they have no serious punishments (Curran, 1). Drunk drivers should be imprisoned on the first offense because they are endangering the lives of the other people around them. People who are arrested for DWIs are commonly known repeat offenders. About 1.5 million people get arrested for DUI (Driving under the Influence) each year (DeMichele, 1).
Second, you can carry the pregnancy to term (when the baby is ready to be born), and then give the baby up for adoption. Third, you can have an abortion, ending the pregnancy. Peer Pressure- Peer pressure is the pressure that your friends and the people you know, put on you to do something you don’t want to do (or don’t feel ready to do), such as have sex. There are different types of peer pressure: * obvious peer pressure, such as: “Everyone’s doing it, so should you” * underhand peer pressure, such as: “You’re a virgin, you wouldn’t understand”
One of the biggest causes of drunk driving is the person who hasn’t adequately prepared for the situation. They drive to the bar or party alone and end up drinking more than they had planned without thinking about how they’ll get home. Many drinkers, at this point, become too embarrassed to ask for a ride or underage drinkers are afraid they’ll get in trouble if they reveal they made a mistake. Others simply don’t care. They hear about the deaths and injuries and are aware of the risks and the potential
The judges sentencing seems to be a less drastic verdict than what it should be not only did they rape a teen classmate they took pictures and videos of them doing so they should have been tried as adults due to the charges of rape and the possession of child pornography both serious offenses. I belive this situation could occur anywhere maybe even in our town but there are ways to avoid situations like this. This situation can happen to any person who would go to a party and get drunk, the person who had became intoxicated could be taken advantage. This situation could be avoided through procautaions such as parents keeping track of their children and having stricter laws on obtaining alcohol, there already some laws about underage drinking but these laws are easy to get around such as teens stealing beer from their parents or getting an adult to buy them beer from a
Intro: (1).Today, in every state teenagers that are sexually active can get contraceptives to protect themselves against unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. (2) Most teens use protection also called contraceptives even if they can't talk about sex with their parents. But some states want to take away teens' ability to protect themselves. They want to prevent sexually active teenagers from getting birth control unless they first tell their parents. (3) Some people say that allowing teenagers to get contraceptives without first telling a parent encourages them to become sexually active and that requiring teenagers to tell their parents before they get birth control would stop sexual activity but research says teenagers don’t become sexually active if they can obtain contraceptives.
I believe that it is important that we make these contraceptives available for teens. I think it may be a good idea to have some form of birth control that is free for those who can’t afford it. Some clinics provide birth control to teens without the consent of a parent, this may be a good thing because many teens are afraid to talk to their parents about sex and birth control. Many teenagers today are very sexually active and take the risk that comes with sexual intercourse. Education is our number one source in getting sexual information out to the teenagers.
Or if it is the parent’s responsibility to regulate what teens watch? And how about the rating system, Is it really effective? If limitations are imposed on this industry, would this violate their freedom of speech? When a teens watch a movie like Clock Orange or play a game like Grand Theft Auto does it affect their behavior or will they brush it off as a mere fantasy? Many people outside of the industry believe it affects teen’s sexual activities and violence tendencies.
276). Here we take a step closer into the mind of a teen, where we see how sex also affects your social status among your peers. The essay, Sex Ed is now a force that influences individuals in society. Everyone does it, and those who aren’t, either don’t talk about it or lie. Sex isn’t just about being in love and sharing a special moment with a person you care for; now it is act of play among teens, with results ranging from STD’s to unwanted
Gender Reassignment for Teens? Pretend you’re a boy, but you’ve felt since you were little that you should’ve been a girl. As if you were trapped in the wrong body. How could you divulge your secret to your friends And family about these ambivalent feelings? What would you do if the community you lived in not only refused to accept these feelings but became surly towards you?
Adolescent sexual behavior (like prevalence of sexually-experienced 15-year-olds, loss of virginity, same gender attractions) is the most problem that teenagers experienced because they don’t have enough knowledge about what sex really means.
