Persuasive Essay Does the show 16 and pregnant discourage teens to get pregnant? There are many different reasons why this particular show discourages kids not to get pregnant. Here are three reasons why I think that the show 16 and pregnant does discourage teenagers to get pregnant. Reason #1, while watching this show teens see that there is a lot of money that goes into taking care of a child at their age. Reason #2, while watching this show teens see that the teen moms have trouble in school with their school work and dealing with embarrassment about their pregnancy. Reason #3, teens see when these teen moms’ boyfriends are both unfaithful to each other or he doesn’t want to be a part of their child’s life.

Now that I have told you my 3 reasons I have to back them up with evidence. Here’s my 3 pieces of evidence for reason #1. Piece of evidence #1, teen pregnancy costs an estimated $10.9 billion annually and often carries an elevated risk. Piece of evidence #2, teens waste about $3,200 a year for each teen birth that they have. Piece of evidence #3, the 2012 teen birth rate indicates a decline of six percent from 2011 to 2012. Now you can see how much money goes in for teenage pregnancy.

Here are my 3 pieces of evidence for reason #2. Piece of evidence #1, 50% of teen mothers earn a high school diploma by age 22, compared to 89% of non-pregnant teens. Piece of evidence #2, an estimated 70% of pregnant teens drop out of school, according to Pregnant Teen Help. Piece of evidence #3, reasons for dropping out of high school include physical problems, such as morning sickness, and emotional problems. Now you see that lots of teens drop out from having high school complications.

Here are my 3 pieces of evidence for reason #3. Piece of evidence #1, 40% of teen mothers boyfriend are unfaithful or aren’t apart of child’s life at all. Piece of evidence #2, 63% of teen mothers boyfriends are unfaithful to their girlfriends. Piece of evidence #3 22% of teenage mothers are unfaithful to their boyfriends. You can see that both ten moms ‘and their boyfriends can be unfaithful towards each other.

In conclusion the show 16 and pregnant can discourage teenage pregnancy due to many things like, high school issues, relationship problems, and money troubles. I know that many people can say that the show 16 and pregnant can bring up the rating in teenage pregnancy a couple percentages from 2011 to 2012 but as you can see by my claims that the percentages dropped in teen pregnancy cannot compare to the percentage of teenage pregnancy that has increased.

5/19 “Does the show 16 and Pregnant Encourage teenage pregnancy"

Claim: Yes, I think that this show does encourage teenage pregnancy.

Reason #1: I think that when people watch this show that they think it is coo and then they be come pregnant to.

Reason #2: they don’t see that these people are struggling with there pregnancy so teens think that they won’t either.

Reason #3: Teens can get peer pressured by the show so they get pregnant anyway.

Counterargument: I think that the show "16 and pregnant" don't encourage teens to become pregnant because they can see that they are struggling so they think that they would struggle to.

Counterargument: That claim is true but that still don't hide the fact that the teenage pregnancy meter has gone up higher because of this show.

Evidence #1: A new economic study of Nielsen television ratings and birth records suggests that the show she appeared in, “16 and Pregnant,” and its spinoffs may have prevented more than 20,000 births to teenage mothers in 2010.

Evidence #2: The paper, to be released Monday by the National Bureau of Economic Research, makes the case that the controversial but popular programs reduced the teenage birthrate by nearly 6 percent, contributing to a long-term decline that accelerated during the recession.

Evidence #3:The paper, to be released Monday by the [|National Bureau of Economic Research], makes the case that the controversial but popular programs reduced the teenage birthrate by nearly 6 percent, contributing to a long-term decline that accelerated during the recession.

Amaya S. Supersize Me Essay During the past few days my English and I have been watching the movie **//Super-size Me.//** The movie was a documentary about a guy named Morgan Spurlock who goes out to risk it all. He went from the healthy zone to the unhealthy zone in a month just by eating McDonalds. The first question I would like to answer is does are society promote an unhealthy attitude toward food? I think that society does promote an unhealthy attitude toward food because, children who are obese are likely to be obese as adultsand are therefore more at risk for adult health problems such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke, several types of cancer, and osteoarthritis. The next question I am going to answer is in my opinion what the most memorable part of **//Supersize Me//** was when after the first week of his McDonalds diet he threw up in his car and it literally took him an hour to finish his hamburger. Children who became obese as early as age 2 were more likely to be obese as adults. Overweight and obesity are associated with increased risk for many types of cancer, including cancer of the breast, colon, endometrium, esophagus, kidney, pancreas, gall bladder, thyroid, ovary, cervix, and prostate, as well as multiple myeloma and Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Fast-food meals tend to be high in sugar, fat and processed grains and low in fiber, making them 65 to 100 percent more calorically dense than other meals, causing teens to underestimate the number of calories in fast-food meals. A Harvard Medical School survey, for example, found four out of five did so, with three of 10 off by at least 500 calories. Per gram, French fries have nearly seven times the calories as broccoli; shortbread pecan cookies, almost nine times grapes, the fruit dried to make raisins. In large part, increased consumption of fast food has created a 250 percent increase in obese teens between 1980 and 2008, according to the National Institutes of Health. Obese teens face a greater risk of eventual disease, including certain cancers, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease, as well as early death. . Sometimes these signals can be confused by constant overeating or constant dieting, which is why it pays to watch portion sizes and make smart food choices. These are the reasons and the ways to change the amount of junk food young kids are consuming. 1/31/14 Letter To Parents

Dear Mother,

I am sorry to say that I failed to do my English homework. It was just that my math homework was taking longer than I expected and I was really tired and I went to bed late. I was planning on doing the assignment in the morning once I woke up but I woke up later than usual and it takes me an hour to get ready so I didn’t get to do it then. I then planned on doing the assignment during surge but I forgot until now. I hope that it doesn’t drop my grade down that far and I promise that I will do all of my assignments when asked and turn all my assignments in on time so that my grade won’t drop down. I know that you are probably disappointed in me for not completing a assignment, and for that I am truly sorry.

Life as a teacher Play Mrs. Silvas: I wake up everyday the same, I get up at 6:30 in the morning, and I get coffee because I know I’m going to have a big long day with my students. I am a sixth grade teacher at Lindbergh Schweitzer Elementary School. My name is Mrs. Silvas I am a teacher. When I teach my students new methods to trying to solve an equation they have a hard time figuring it out. Like some teachers I do provide extra help, like for insists I have math tutoring from 4:00 to 5:00 every Thursday.When I get my coffee to help me through my day I head straight for the school. School doesn’t start until 8:45 so I have a couple hours to myself to get the classroom ready for the day. The bell rings at exactly 9:00 and I can already see my students getting into class almost ready to work. Like all teachers I have some trouble students, I mean a lot of trouble students, but I also have a couple a good students that I can count on to get their work done and behave correctly in class, about ¼ of the class has good students and ¾ of the class is filled with loud, intolerable, little meanies.

Mrs.Silvas: “Good morning class, are we ready to start the day”. I say as almost all of the class responded with,“Yes” except for one student who thought that it would be cute and funny to say

Student: “No” so I decide to show this kid up.

Mrs. Silvas: “Why aren’t you ready, do you need to go to the office and wait until your ready to get started, because if so then feel free”. Once I said that the kid went quite and said,

Student: “No I’m ready to start class”. I know that it was probably rude of me to say that to a kid, but if I am not strict enough to scare these kids straight.“ Mrs. Silvas when are book reports due”.

Mrs. Silvas: “Thank you for reminding me, class book reports are due today at the end of class, those who do not finish will stay in for recess tomorrow to finish it”. I could see the looks in my student’s faces of how scared they were about finishing the report.

Student: “ Mrs. Silvas that’s not fair you gave us this assignment two days ago”.

Mrs. Silvas: “Two days was plenty of time to finish the report, you have no excuse of why its not done by the end of the day”.I try to be reasonable when it comes to their homework due dates. I think that two days were plenty enough to finish a book report.

Student: “ Mrs. Silvas can I use the restroom please”.

Mrs. Silvas: “Yes you may”. She went to the bathroom and when she came back she was crying and had a red mark on her cheek. I tried to ask her what happened but she didn’t tell me. I then waited until after school to confront her about the situation.“Sweetie what really happened in the restroom when you went”.

Student: “Two girls from the other class room started to make fun of me, then when I tried to defend myself one of them hit me in the face”.

Freedom in the factory for women in Bangladesh

On this day, like every workday, she will try to sew 1,000 blouses.Other seamstresses sit all around her in rows that stretch across the factory floor. It is crowded with 350 workers. Bright lights buzz and blink above them while enormous fans nosily push around the air that smells like new clothes.Mollah has long grown used to the harsh factory conditions. Mollah knows that she won’t get rich. She sends nearly half of her $20-a-week wages home to her family. Still, she’s grateful that the salary, no matter how small, gave her the means to escape her home village and the fate of her schoolgirl friends.

All of them were married before they turned 16, all have children of their own, and all have moved in with their husbands’ families. They must get permission to leave the house. All of them were married before they turned 16, all have children of their own, and all have moved in with their husbands’ families. They must get permission to leave the house. “For them, it’s a cage,” said Mollah, 19. “My life is much better than theirs because they have no freedom. When I go back to my village and see my friends, they ask me, ‘Can you take us with you?’”

The Outsiders Essay Questions. AGE

1 I think that the simile that he was using to describe his brother was used to say that he has been mean and different ever sense his parents died in the horrible accident only months ago. Ever sense he has been more strict and emotionless because of their accident. He lost his parents in a car crash and once he found out how much more responsibility he was given he became stricter, but still felt sad and scared of what might happen.

2 I am going to compare and contrast the characters Steve Randall and Ponyboy. Steve is always mean t pony whenever they go and hang out with other people, especially girls, in contrast with Ponyboy who tries to be nice to him but hates at the same time. Also that Ponyboy isn’t as harmful towards people as Steve is. Ponyboy always tries to be nicer towards Steve because his brother Sodapop and Steve have been best friends sense grade school.

3 I think it is foreshadowing that when he thought that tings between everyone was going to get better, but everything just got worst instead. He was hoping that things would look up but instead everything just got worse in the end. I guess that he thought that things between the Greasers and the Socs would be better but they just got more violent towards each other.

Period#7 Amaya S. 1/23/14 // The Outsiders // The character ponyboy has lots of characteristics I am here to tell you the ones that I think are the most important. First he is intelligent, in the book it says that he brings home A’s and B’s so his oldest brother Darrel can be proud of. Ponyboy tries to make Darrel proud because ponyboy thinks that Darrell is more proud of his second oldest brother Sodapop. Ponyboy loves sodapop more than anyone and everything in the world. Ponyboy is loyal to his group the greasers. He will always have their back and the greasers will always have ponyboys back.

Ponyboy hates Steve Randal; Steve Randal always makes fun of ponyboy. One time he called him a little kid while they were hanging out with girls. Ponyboy tries to get along with Steve Randal for sodapops sake because Steve and sodapop have been best friends since grade school. Steve is one of the many people apart of the greaser group. There is Steve, Sodapop, Ponyb oy, Darry, Johnny, and Two-Bit.

I am glad about my score and I will work on the mistakes that i've made so that the next time I will do even better on these kind of assignments.

10/14/13 My babysitting experience… One night my mom was going out and she wanted me to babysit my little brother. At first I was I didn’t want to but then I thought, maybe it would be okay to watch him. So on the day I had to watch him we started out watching a movie and eating pizza that my mom got us. The movie we watched was hilarious I could not stop laughing. Then after the movie we decided to eat a snack and watch something on TV. We were eating ice cream and watching are favorite show on Disney channel. When we were done eating are ice creams we decided to eat6 popcorn and watch another movie.

Bullying Is bullying other people okay? Some people think it’s no big deal, but I am here to tell you that it is. Some people don’t realize this but in the past year 7.3% teens commit suicide due to verbal and physical bullying. About 20% of teens commit suicide due to cyber bullying. Rebecca Sedwick a 12 year-old girl, was found abandoned at a concrete plate about a mile away from her home. Sadly when the police arrived it was too late she had already killed herself. She had been tortured by bullies who told her to kill herself only had they not realized that she would indeed kill herself.

Ever since technology came to life bullies have found a way to torture their victims without being face to face. People would either post mean words/pictures or they would make a fake account in their victims name and trash or make them look bad. Hanna smith, a 14 year old girl hanged herself 10 days after being trolled by people on ask.fm.com. media says that a lot of her posts came from her computer but 4 of her messages sent out weren’t from her computer. Studies show that someone hacked into her computer and made the bad posts on purpose just to make her look bad.

As you know 7.3% percent of teens have hanged herself due to verbal/physical bullying. Bullies do this sort of thing just to be noticed by other people, or to make people look bad in public. Bullies hurt people in public to show that their victim is weak and scared. Amanda Todd a 16 year-old girl committed suicide due to physical bullying. She was bullied throughout her entire high school year. She even made a video to show how sad she felt about being bullied. Prior to her death she was attacked by a group of girls actually the same group of girls who bullied her.

About 14% of teens committed suicide due to verbal bullying. Bullies use verbal words like, stupid, idiot, retard, and etc...They do this to hold the power and to shut you down from talking to others about this. They use such things as threats to scare their victim into not saying a word. Dawn Wesley was found hanged by her dogs leash due to verbal abuse and threats. She was only 13 years-old, and she was bullied for most of her life. See she was threated into not saying anything to anyone so she couldn’t take it anymore and she just decided to kill herself instead of doing the right thing and telling someone.

People think that they can’t tell anyone about it because they are afraid of being a snitch or they were scared to tell someone and get hurt by their bully. Bystanders are an important part of the whole snitch thing. They are afraid that the bully will come after them and become their new target. I and become their new target. think that you shouldn’t have to be scared to tell someone because if you do you might save someone’s life.scared to tell someone and get hurt by their bully.
