ALCOHOL ABUSE AMONG TEENAGERS

It's very interesting that I find myself writing about something that not only is commonsense, but what is more, something that every one knows about in general but may not in particular. Alcohol use among teenagers is a serious problem and is responsible for death and injury in automobile accidents, physical and emotional disability, deterioration of academic performances, aggressive behavior that causes a number of other sociological problems in families and among friends. It is also the primary cause of criminal behavior and a leading cause of broken marriages. As we know it's a broad topic therefore I'll look at the role that alcohol plays in the society and it's impact on teenage addiction.

The age when young people are taking their first drink is becoming lower each year. Many studies show that preteens are experimenting with alcohol and many are already heavy drinkers . It may be difficult for parents and teachers to believe that a seventh grade student can have an alcohol problem, but a study of student drinking practices shows that 5% of seventh-grade boys and 4.4% of seventh-grade girls are seriously abusing alcohol . That's why we see the consequences in terms of antisocial behavior, school failure, attention deficit, learning disabilities and road accidents among the teenagers.

DRUGS

Today in America a lot of young people experiment with illegal drugs. Some people try drugs for recreational purposes, others are addicted to drugs and can’t survive without them. Usually it all starts from recreational purposes, and people who can not control their recreation become a drug addicts. There are many different types of drugs, but all drugs are similar in that they change one’s understanding of the environment, feelings, senses and mood. Some drugs cause physical addiction, which means that after several tries of the particular drug, the body requires that chemical in order to function. Some drugs destroy lives; people use drugs so much that it changes their personality and acceptance of environment, people become happy and sad, active and weak under influence of drugs. It makes their mind and body sick. Heavy drug users do not live long, dying either from health complications or dying on the streets, or if they get lucky they go to jail

why people are fat?

Healthy Eating Healthy eating is not only important for your diet, it's also important as a part of your personal well-being. Eating healthy can drastically improve your physical fitness, allow you to feel better about yourself, and do wonders for you health. Healthy eating doesn't mean you have to follow a strict diet, or give up foods you love. You just need to balance the amount of types of foods you eat to obtain all the necessary nutrients. It's a good idea to limit the fattening foods such as fast food, pizzas, etc... but you don't necessarily have to completely avoid them. Starting healthy eating habits at a young age will possibly help people as they get older. Learning about the importance of proper nutrition at a young age will help to establish lifelong healthy eating habits and will improve the health of children.

Business Studies

Business studies is the study of how businesses are set up, financed,
organised and controlled, how people are employed, managed and paid, how
goods are developed, produced and sold, how goods and services are
priced and how the local, national and international government help or
hinder businesses.

In studying the setting up of a business there are many aspects that
need to be considered. Such as the type of business ownerships which
are suitable for the entrepreneur, where the capital will be coming
from, what goods or services could be considered to sell and where the
business should be located. The extensive amount of research, which is
carried out before the business operates, is also studied.

There are many sources of finance open to the entrepreneur, which also
need to be studied . The business owner has to set the right
price for its goods or services - a price which is of convenience to the
consumer and which is affordable for the owner.

online shopping

Online shopping has impacted the economic, political and cultural development of the financial markets and the economy.
Many consumers have been using the World Wide Web in order to purchase items. The computer technology has allowed consumers to use the internet to their convenience to shop. Online shopping has impacted the United States economy greatly. The impacts of online shopping have been advantageous as well as disadvantageous.
The beneficial impacts of online shopping are greatest on the nation’s economy. Consumers do not only purchase items online.
the internet allows consumers to compare and browse items online.

Television

television has many positive and informational uses. Television is now being
used more in school because it is proven that students remember and comprehend
better than from a regular class lecture.

Television has always been good for spreading the news of current world
events but it is now being used for more educational and informational
documentaries. Television is becoming more and more an educational essential
for children. Before they start school, children learn many basic and
fundamental tools from television. Most kids learn the alphabet and how to
count from shows.

In my opinion there are many positive things associated with television
but you can get too much of a good thing. A very important thing to remember is
to watch television in moderation, when used correctly television can be a very
useful tool.
