Persuasive Essay 5 Paragraph Draft Claim: School cafeterias should not sell junk food because this will affect kids health by a lot.

Vincent Meray 5 paragraph

Junk food the number one reason why kids today are obese which is making everything worse. We still shouldn't sell them but we still intend to do so just for the money. The worst part of it is how we sell it in school. Junk food can make your lose your energy. Schools are wasting money buying healthy food because no students will eat it. Kids will try to steal the junk food and end up getting in trouble. Junk Food is the fourth reason why kids aren't learning in class. Some people say that junk food helps kids learn will but it doesn’t. For the school principal it’s all about making the right choices. Some schools think that selling junk food is the right thing. What do you think?

School should not sell junk food because it doesn't do anything good for the kid’s at all. Well for sure theres tons of bad stuff about junk food for kids. Just like increasing diabetes, weight, and cancer. Theres tons of more, but these three are serious which is why kids feel depressed and sad. Everybody knows that schools don't care about the student’s health, just the money they make in a day so they can pay the teachers. Kids being tired in class can result in them getting in trouble of not paying attention in class. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development America is the number one country who has 30.6 of kids who are obese.

There are tons of evidence on how there are more obese children is schools that sell junk food then there are in schools without junk food. 5th through 9th 30% to 39% of all children who turned fat is because of the junk food at schools they eat. Junk food can even lead to kids stealing money from their parents just to get a bag of salt chips or a chocolate cookie. School has been selling junk food ever since they were low on money. Some people don’t know that they only sell junk food because the school needs the money for repairs, dances, parties, experiments, and field trips. According to http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/reasons-eating-junk-food-not-good-3364.html " Junk food is food that is calorie-dense and nutrient poor. In recent decades, junk food, fast food and convenience food consumption in the United States have increased dramatically, with 25 percent of people now consuming predominantly junk food diets".

The Cons of a junk food selling in schools are similar, but are all turned around. Kids don’t care about getting fat because they think that they can exercise or just get surgery. Teachers think that if kids are tired and can’t pay attention it’s their fault and not the junk food. Parents like to give their kids maybe 5 dollars a week so they can buy extra food for lunch at school just because they're hungrier. Students like buying junk food because they think it makes them fit in more so they can share it with their friends.

Schools selling junk food can have a big impact on kids and teens health. It always important for kids to eat healthy and not eat junk food. Kids bodies are more delicate then grown ups. A kid eating junk food would be worst then an adult doing the same. A issue of junk food is how school sell all kinds of junk food. They also put the words “ lower priced! And less salt more flavor!” to lure kids to waste their money on filling room in their stomachs. Kids are wasting their money on junk food and which is increasing their weight and diabetes. A lot of people are trying to stop junk food from being sold in schools. What are you going to do?

3 reason that support my claim about why school cafeterias should not sell junk food.

1. Junk food is really unhealthy and can make young kids obese. 2. Kids can try to steal the junk food that increases the chance of them doing bad things. 3. If some kids don't have any money the will try to steal from their parents which is bad.

 * The Dog

I woke up with my dog licking my hand. It was 5:30 a wonderful Friday morning. I petted her, she is my Jack Russell. I gave her food and water. I went into the bathroom to wash my hands. I cooked myself a two-egg omelet. I got out a glass for milk. I got out the two-percent milk. I’m on a really important diet, because I’m obese. Before I teach my class I had a meeting today. I had to impress a lot o people. I had done a 4-page essay on why students shouldn’t have more time at lunch. It took me 3 hours last night. I went to bed atone in the morning. I only got four hours and thirty minutes of sleep. When I made my breakfast I went into the living room to watch the news. It always important to know what’s going around San Diego. While I was focused on the Television instead of my hand holding my milk. I spilled the glass of milk on my rug. I guess this was the reason why I was late to work. It took me 10 minutes to get the milk out of rug. I had to rush getting my clothes on. I wore a tie, pants, and a suit. After I was ready to go, I got myself a cup of coffee. Three sugar packs and 2 cups of cream. Finally I’m out the door! I got Lexus for just 4,000 dollars at The Lexus Warehouse. I when I was on my way to work I noticed a pile up.

Three Goals I’ve set for myself

My first goal I want to take care of is to get all A’s in school. This is important because I can get things I want when report cards come out.

My Second goal I want to take care of is what my dogs name will be when I get one for Christmas. I would like a Jack Russel that is small because the bigger they are, the bigger their droppings. They also have tons of hair that can be found every where.

My Third goal I want to take care of is finishing football with no loses. This is important because that means we can go to the Q-bowl and even win that.

Bullying Essay People Bully because they want a sense of popularity when they don't have any. Some people do it because their family is poor and are low on money. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Bullying includes actions such as making threats, spreading rumors, attacking someone, and excluding someone from a group on purpose because they need someone to help them with it.

There are many roles that kids can play. Kids can bully others, they can be bullied, or they, might be a witness bullying. When kids are involved in bullying, they often play more than one role. It is important to understand the multiple roles kids play in order to effectively prevent and respond to bullying.

There are many other types of aggressive behavior that don’t fit the definition of bullying. This does not mean that they are any less serious or require less attention than bullying. Rather, these behaviors require different prevention and response strategies.

An Imbalance of Power: Kids who bully use their power—such as physical strength, access to embarrassing information, or popularity—to control or harm others. Power imbalances can change over time and in different situations, even if they involve the same people.

Bullying makes people embarrassed; the bullies’ bully small people because they cant do ant thing about it. In a culture that is fascinated with winning, power, and violence, some experts suggest that it is unrealistic to expect that people will not be influenced to seek power through violence in their own lives. The fact that one gets more social recognition for negative behaviors than for positive ones can also contribute to reasons why people bully.

My favorite book is “The Trumpet and The Swan” because it talks about a swan that was born with a speaking disability. He uses a trumpet to talk to other swans and find his true love.

My favorite movie is “The Avengers” because it has all the famous super hero’s like Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America. This movie had thrills, adventure, sadness, and humor.

My favorite game is Borderlands 2 it has XP, six characters (two including DLC). Its my favorite because there’s three campaigns that are all the same but each one is harder as you go. I’ve purchased the two extra characters and the two ultimate upgrade packs that include a bonus of 22 levels and a new map to go to and adventure with overpowered weapons.

My favorite place to go to is “Dave and Busters” because it is a huge arcade with games and food. My favorite food to get there is the shrimp and chicken tenders. The games are cool to especially the zombies. One time my brother and I were playing dead zone one of the zombie game. We were going so far that all these people were around us watching us play. At the end with the final boss we were about to beat him but we failed.
