Why Drugs?

This week at school has been red ribbon week. At the assemby I saw terrifying images if what drugs can do to the body. It was eye opening, but for the most part I knew all that the drugs could do. It made me sad to think that all these people could do such terrible things to their bodies. The thing that made me really sad was most the kids who do drugs I knew would pay no attention to the assembly. This realization made me ask the question why after learning that drugs are bad for you do they do the drugs? They have to know that drugs are bad for them. They must feel the side affects of the drugs. But the only thing that they choose to remember is the high they get. They also must thing that it will never get that bad for them, and that they aren't addicted to the drugs. Also that they are in control. But in reality the drugs begin to control them, and their lifes are consumed by the drugs. It is really sad, that they think that there is nothing wrong and that they are only hurting themselves. But in reality they are hurting all those around them. I wish that they could realize what they are doing to themselves.
It is also sad that many people use drugs to escape their lifes.
After a red ribbon week like this past week it is hard for me to imagine anyone choosing to do drugs. But people use them because they don't believe that it will hurt them. But in reality it destroyes thier lifes. It isn't a fast destruction it is slow and painful.

Who should I ask to the dance, and how

After I decided to go to Sadie Hawkins I needed a creative way to ask my soon to be date to the dance. I kept thinking, and asking all shorts of people for an idea to ask this certain boy. So many people had different, crazy ideas. This made me wonder why do we use creative ways to ask people to school dances? The alternitive for asking someone creativly to a dance is actually going up to the person. For lots of people this situation can be very, very, awkward. So most people try to avoid it, and thus creative, non-contact asking ideas are created. If I had to ask my date in person to the dance I would probably not have asked him at all. I would have felt really stupid asking him, because what if he said no or already had a date it would be a sad, embarresing moment. So I didn't ask him face to face I used and idea where I wouldn't have to come into any contact at all with him. Not only do students use creative ideas to ask people to dances, because they want avoid contact, but because it can be lots of fun. It is really fun to recieve something on your doorstep from a person of the opposite gender then have to figure out who that person is. It adds a totally different feel to the date and dance in general. If someone uses a fun way to ask you out it mostly means that they just want to have a fun time at the dance, at it isn't usually a serious date.
Most high school students use creative ideas to ask others out, because it can be lots of fun and a way to avoid an awkward situation. They come up with fun, stupid ideas in order not to feel stupid.

That was Scary

I have recently visited the corn maze at Thanksgiving Point. There I went through the basic corn maze then I went through the haunted one. I was so scared at first that my friend and I had to enlist her little brothers to go through with us. I was so scared at first to go in, that I didn't even want to go in. But as I went through the haunted maze I realized that they couldn't hurt me, and if they did I could sue them. This realizitation didn't make the maze scary at all. But the accerleration and adrenilane of being scared was so much fun, that I would have gone through the maze a couple of times. This made me ask the question why do people like to be scared? All the people at Thanksgiving Point paid money just so they could get scared, but why would they do this? When I was scared the adrenilane was so strong that it made it kind of fun. It was a scary experience, but it was also a fun experience. People like to be scared, because people like to feel that sensation of fear. Fear can be a scary thing, but when you know you can't get hurt it can be lots of fun. Another reason why people like to be scared is, because it feels good to be able to scream and let all of your feelings out. Just think most guys don't really show fear, but haunted places give them an excuse to let all their feelings out. An example of this was my friends brothers. They act tought, and want to be strong guys. As we went through the maze they were terrified, and hiding behind their sister the whole time. It was actually pretty funny, because I thought that they wouldn't get scared. Being scared can be frightening, but at the same time it can be an amazing adrenilane rush.

Why diet?

Why is the world so obsessed with diets? It seems every magizine I see has some fast way to tone your body or lose weight. These things are a joke. Most of the diets are unhealthy, and will not last. Almost every tv show I watch the women are obsessed with their figure. This causes the rest of the world to believe the same thing. People idealize the characters on tv, and some will do anything to look like them. This might include those silly diets that are everywhere. It is really sad and the world should change their image of themselves. We are all different, and where meant to be different.
