Super Size Me (ID)

For the past two days my Health class and I were watching an American documentary called Super Size Me. This documentary was based on a health man named Morgan Spurlock who conducts an unscientific experiment using himself. Morgan was required to eat only McDonald's for thirty days, three meals a day. If he is asked by the clerk if he would like the meal super sized, he has to say yes. And by the end of the thirty days, he will have had to have eaten every single menu item at least once.

Throughout this documentary Morgan enlightened his audience with several facts. One fact that was stated was that America is the fattest nation in the world. He also stated that each day 1 in 4 Americans visits a fast food restaurant. McDonald's operates more than 30,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries on 6 continents. McDonald's feeds more than 46 million people a day - more than the entire population of Spain. McDonald's represents 43% of total U.S. fast food market.

In the end of this experiment Morgan gained 24.5 pounds in 30 days. He also experienced mood swings, sexual dysfunction, and liver damage. It took Spurlock fourteen months to lose the weight he gained."The bottom line, they're a business, no matter what they say, and by selling you unhealthy food, they make millions, and no company wants to stop doing that. Throughout this documentary it made me sit back and think about how i should eat more healthier and how eating all of this fast food can effect me in the long run.

Dear Mom (PB)

Dear mom,
                   I am passionate about many things. For example my family, my friends, my phone, but someone who I am really passionate about is my mother. Ever since the day I was born my mom has shown me nothing but love and devotion. My mom has been taking care of me for seventeen years of my life and taught me so many things such as learning how to save money, how to be confident, and most importantly how to become independent. The reason why I love and respect my mother so much is because not only did she teach me how have respect for others, but she also taught me how to become independent. I lost my father at a young age but instead of constantly mourning my mom took the initiative to fill his role and raise me as both my mom and dad. Even when she was at her lowest point she turned that negative situation around and made it something positive. The actions that she took influenced me to become a strong independent young man. She also taught me how to have a positive mind-set, because she is not always going to be there to back me up when I am at my lowest point. I can honestly say my mom is one of the best people that I have met in my life, and I am proud that she is in it. Thanks mom for always for always being there. I Love You.

                                                                       Sincerely, Ronnie

I would like to take my freebie today.

When Bullying Goes Wrong (SSR)

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/fifteen-bullies-pushed-girl-suicide-authorities-article-1.1455917


The link above contains a devastating article that explains how a 12-year-old girl from Florida who committed suicide. Rebecca Ann like any other kid was a normal teenager living her everyday life. Last year Rebecca attended Crystal Lake Middle School in Florida. Unlike others Rebecca was one of the who get bullied in our every day lives. Bullying-use superior strength or influence to intimidate (someone), typically to force him or her to do what one wants.


This start of the bullying began last year over boyfriend problems.Last December, Rebecca was hospitalized for three days after cutting her wrists because of what she said was bullying, according to the sheriff. Later, after Rebecca complained that she had been pushed in the hallway and that another girl wanted to fight her, Rebecca's mother began home-schooling her in Lakeland, a city of about 100,000 midway between Tampa and Orlando, Judd said. Her mom had no clue that her daughter was being bullied in the new school. Even though Rebecca mentioned to her mother that she was being bullying in her old school. Rebecca's mother claimed that her daughter hasn't shown any signs of depression since she's been in the new school.She changed one of her online screen names to "That Dead Girl." She messaged a boy in North Carolina: "I'm jumping." And then, on Monday, the Lakeland girl went to an abandoned concrete plant, climbed a tower and hurled herself to her death.





I think that Bullying is wrong, and i also think that bullying comes in different shapes and forms. Some people can act like nothings wrong but deep down inside they're living in depression. Some people have to learn their limits and how far they can push someone. Bullying doesnt make you cool it makes you a coward. Instead of making someone feel bad about themselves, learn how to love and help one another. SAY NO TO BULLYING !!!

Jokes (FC)

Jokes... The definition of a joke is a thing that someone says to cause amusement or laughter, especially a story with a funny punchline. There's more to a joke than that definition. To me, a joke is a way to express yourself through laughter. People use jokes in their everyday lives to either be funny, mock someone, or to just cheer someone up. When I was a child, I didn't really like to socialize very much. Even though I used to smile a lot, that didn't mean I used to talk a lot. As I began to get older, I really liked to tell jokes, not only because it was amusing but because it was a way for me to express myself to others. The reasons why I tell jokes are to make people happy when they're upset, to express myself, and most importantly to make others laugh. Making people happy is the main reason why I tell jokes because not only does it make the other person feel happy, but it makes me feel good inside. Even though they may seem easy, jokes aren't that easy to come up with. Some people think all jokes are as easy as a knock knock joke, but telling jokes takes a lot of time, patience, and creativity. Also when you are telling jokes to your friends, you have to think quickly because you never know when a person has an even more clever joke to use against you. Knock knock... Who's there...
