Heroin

After reading that article I understand what heroin can do to you. For everyone who has lost their life to heroin I really do feel sorry for their families and friends. As the article said, the affects of heroin can be misunderstood or unrecognized by teens wanting to experiment and see what it is. A lot of the time people wanting to use it do not understand the repercussions or toll it can not only have on you but your entire family and friends and people who care about you.

It is all physically, mentally and emotionally difficult and once you start using your sense of sanity or the grasp that you have on things is completly changed and altered. I hope that people read this article and understand that this is a terrible thing to do and get addicted to. When people try it once they are most likely going to try it again and become addicted to the sbustance. Reading this article helps me grasp the terrifing realization that kids everywhere are doing this and getting addicted at young ages. I hope people read and take a serious look at this article and try to make a change.

I do not smoke and i never have in my entire life. What is very common is for people mainly teens to start smoking because their friends do it and they feel pressured. I think that people who smoke cigarettes are not bad people but I personally would never do it. I understand that people have a lot of stress so they need the cigarettes but people who do it for no reason to just fit in is stupid to me. If you have to change who you are to fit in with people that you are surrounded with, I believe that those people are not your real friends because if they were than they would want to look out for you because they know how bad it is and how addictive it is with the nicotine it contains.

With cigarettes even though they are not as bad as other drugs, they are still one of the leading causes of death in the united states. It can cause lung cancer which is very common among smokers of an older age. What you do now can affect you for a long time after you stop smoking, not everyone is a victim of these symptoms but the chances of t happening to you is extremely greater than someone who never picks up a cigarette. 

FOR

I am for marijuana because I don't think that it is something that is causing major damage to something or someone. Marijuana was made to help people and although some people abuse it, it is still there to help with cancer or something like that. A lot of people think that marijuana is a gateway drug to worse drugs like cocaine and heroin but I don't believe that.

There was a reason why clinics for weed were created and I don't think that we should shut them down and make them seem like a terrible place. People actually need help with pain and depression and stuff like that. Marijuana can even be help full for people with eating disorders because one of the effects it has on you is that it makes you eat a lot. It has helped people survive with chemotherapy treatments and back pain and many other illnesses.

There is no record of anyone dieing from marijuana. Compared to the effects of other more serious drugs like methamphetamine it is not bad. I think every one should calm down and just accept it,


     

Friday Brain Day

1. 7 wigh ins because if you have eight donuts and you put one on the scale and compare ever other donut to the one already on the scale you will figure which  one is the heavy donut.

2. Same chances as when you rolled on your first time 1/36

3. If you have the pennies in a piramid 4 on the bottom then 3 then 2 then 1. Take the top two tears that contains two pennies and 1 penny at the top and put it on the bottom so that the piramid is reversed. Instead of it facing up it would face down.

4. There are many tiles in this problem and at least 1 white tile.

5. 48 games must be played and there is an extra team because it is an odd number and I dont know what to do with that.

More Thinking

1. there are 3 ducks
2. Abe is the one who took the candy bar

My Favorite Band

QUEEN

My favorite band is queen because I like what they say in there song and what they are all about. Freddie Mercury is the lead singer and he is also gay which was a topic a lot of people talked about back when he was famous. He was born September 5, 1946 and died November 4, 1991 because of AIDS. He created many of his songs and one of my favorites is Bohemian Rhapsody which was also called the rare number 1 twice in the UK. 

The band as a whole has been interviewed many times and has been on the cover of many magazines including the very popular Rolling Stone editorial. Ever since I was little my father has played a lot of that type of music like ACDC, Styx and Aerosmith. I have grown p to love it and I listen to it all the time. It reminds me of Saturday evenings going to my uncles house and listening to it on the way over there.

I think I will always love Queen and listen to them even when I get older. I want future generations to appreciate and know the type of music that a lot of people listened to many years ago. Even though Freddie Mercury died his soul will stay with each of his songs forever and he will not be forgotten.

My favorite hobby

Something that I enjoy doing during my free time is going to the movies. I like doing this activity because every time you go you get to see something new and usually it is something you want to see rather than something you have to see. You can go with your friends or your family and everyone can enjoy what the theater has to offer.
One of the things that a movie theater has that your home usually doesn't is a wide spread variety of any candy or drink that you want. Even though it could be a little expensive sitting through a movie with your favorite treat is the best. Something that a movie theater is known for more than anything else is there popcorn and cold atmosphere inside the theater.
The price of a ticket is usually $12.50 which is expensive compared to what it used to be but it is worth it, especially when it is a type of movie that you like and could watch over and over again. When you put yourself in the atmosphere of a movie theater I honestly believe that I am in the movie. Everyone should partake in the activity.

My Favorite Movie

My favorite movie is Inception because of the plot and how it plays out. This movie has many plot twists and it stars Joseph Gordon Levitt who portrays mostly the man who runs the operation, Leonardo DiCaprio who is the main actor and is good at telling the story, Ellen Page who is mainly the aprentice and the one who is just learning how things work and she does that very well . In this movie it is all about dreams and how you can control the dreams that you are in. There are levels in the dreams that you have so if you fall asleep in your dream you go further down a level. The only way to be woken up is to be jolted by the sensation of falling.

In this movie it is shown that people who go into these deep sleeps can sometimes not get out and are paralyzed into a state called limbo where they are stuck forever. In the movie Leonardo who plays the character Cobb and his wife Mal played by Marion Cottilard build their own world together in a dream and when they came out Mal didn't know whether she was still in a dream or  she was in reality. Marion who plays Mal, takes on the role very seriously and I can believe that she means every word she says within the movie.Even though Cobb tells her that its real and that they are not in a dream Mal is suicidle and doesnt believe for sure. She goes back and forth between life and death.

This movie is one of my favorites because it has many plot twists and keeps you thinking for the entire movie. It is very mentally engaging and is challenging to figure out which is why I love it. I think everyone should see this movie at least once.
