A Little About Me And My Concerns About My Community
Well we have being assigned to write a blogpost for our teen life project. You might have read what it is about on Mr. Fisher’s blog post. If you haven’t heard of it our class and 3 others from all different places from east to west north and south are coming together to discuss our teenagers concerns about our nations. So I have to talk a little about my self and what some of my concerns are.
Well to start of my name is Elaine, whom you probably know if you’ve linked of Mr. Fishers site and it is under my other blogposts. I am 13 turning 14 in a few months (June 4th). I love animals, doing art, making and designing clothes, summer, swimming at the beach, figure skating, hanging out with my friends, my family and strawberry ice cream. I love the snow to a lot of people hate it, but I love it I also like winter. Except for those minus 40 temperatures, yes it can get very cold here.
I have a lot of concerns about a lot of different things. I like that we are discussing our concerns with other teenagers the same age as us. From different areas around the world. We really never discuss a lot of our concerns or issues among our towns; cities, nations and world wide, and I think it is important that we do discuss these things that we don’t really do often. I would say one of the issues that concern me the most among my community would be drugs and smoking. There are more illegal drugs being used then there should be. Know that crystal meth has being exposed to our town it is important that people are informed. Also the more known legal drug tobacco is a concern to me. It is very common and harmful. The reason why this is a concern to me is because so much money is lost and it is addictive and ones you start to do it its hard to go anywhere with out it and it is harmful to you family and loved ones around you. Over all drugs are controlling, and is that what people want, for something to control your life? What concerns you?
Thanks for reading,
Elaine

Hey Elaine!
Wow your post is very interesting. I am also very concerned about drugs. Drugs is really spreading and many people use it as a solution thinking that drugs can fix their lives. Alcohol is another thing I’m worried about too. Here in Colombia you can see that many young children about from age 13 and up, the mayority are already smoking or drinking alcohol. However, as they grow up, the will change smoking and alcohol to drugs. Tat really worries me and the worst part of all is that its increasing and many people don’t notice the harm.
Nice post!

Hi! My name is Juan David but my friends call me JD. I am really concerned about drugs also. In my country Colombia, I see a lot of kids like the age of 13 consuming drugs because they think that doing it they will look cool. Consuming drugs is not only bad for them but for the rest of the people also because a drugged person is able to do whatever in it’s confusion. Also this young people drink alcohol and that is really bad too.
