I believe one should not commit suicide because it is not his/her choice to take their life away.

comment on BLOG STOP

I agree with you Rach, underage drinking is bad. I personally think that parents should not let there child drink, not even a glass of wine, until they have reached the legal age of drinking alcohol.

comment on MY BLOG OF BEING BAD

Paedophiles are sick in the head. I don't know how they can look at a child in that way. It is shocking to know that there are women paedophiles out there. We usually associate paedophiles with dirty old men.

comment on LUCY

I think lying is ok to some extent. If you tell a white lie, I personally don't think that is bad but if you lie all the time, then I think that is bad. Everyone lies there is not one person that I know of that has not told a lie.

comment on XXXXSTARXXXX

I personally think that piercing is not bad. It's up to the individual what they want pierced, it's their body and it is not doing any harm to anyone.

Comment on YOU DON'T SEE A DAMN THING...'CAUSE YOU CAN'T RELATE TO ME

I agree with you, drink driving is bad. People don't think when they have drunk more than they should, they should not drive. They should think of other ways to get to where they want to i.e. a taxi. Drink driving can kill.

Homosexuals

Homosexuals are people who are sexually attracted to members of your own sex.
http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=homosexual

GAYS & LESBIANS

I don’t think there is anything wrong or bad about homosexuals. It is up to the individual what they like or prefer. If a girl prefers women than that’s up to her, she is not doing any harm to the world and vice versa for men.

Prostitutes

PROSTITUTES

Prostitution is the act of performing sexual activity in exchange for money.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/prostitues

Prostitution is the oldest profession in the world!

Prostitutaion brings out explotation.

I personally think prostitutues are disgraceful, how can you sell you body to any random guy. They are so many other ways in which you can earn a living. Also it leads to HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, pysical, emotional and drug abuse.

PROSTITUTION IS BAD!!!

Teenage Mums/Pregnancy

Britain still top for teenage pregnancies. Britain has the highest number of teenage pregnancies in Europe.

Teenage girls are now choosing pregnancy as a career option.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-512743/Britain-worst-western-Europe-teenage-pregnancies-despite-decade-wasted-efforts.html

I personally think that teenage girls are not ready to be mums. They have only just started their life, barley out of childhood themselves.

Size 0

Size O

Size 0 is a women’s clothing size in the US system equivalent to a UK size 4, with a waist measurement of a tiny 23 inches, the average girth of an 8 year old girl. Experts say that being this thin can lead to loss of periods, hair falling out, dry skin and even thinning bones.

http://www.keepthedoctoraway.co.uk/showArticle.aspx?loadID=00215

I think the media plays a key part in this 'Size 0' mostly everyone wants to be as thin as these celebrities and models that are flashed about on the front of every magazine.

I personally think size 0 is very unattractive. How can someone want to look really thin and think it looks attractive. Most men prefer curvier women than stick skeleton women.

Drink Driving

DRINK DRIVING

Drink Driving Kills!!! THINK!!! Dont Drink Drive!!!

If you drive at twice the legal alcohol limit you are atleast 30 times more likely to cause a road crash, than a driver who has not been drinking.

http://www.dft.gov.uk/think/focusareas/driving/drinkdriving

No Drinks, No Excuses

I personally think drink driving is bad, especially if they know that they are risking losing their lives, or causing others to loose their lives. Don't drink and drive!

Paedophiles

PAEDOPHILES

An adult who is sexually attracted to children.

http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=paedophile

I personally think paedophiles are mentally sick in the head. How can they prey on innocent young children. Many studies have shown that paedophiles have been a victim of sexually molestation themselves. However, this is no excuse for them to do this to others.

Rape

RAPE!

Rape is FORCED sexual intercourse, including both psychological coercoin and pysical force.

http://www.youthnoise.com/page.php?page_id=2620

Rape is EVIL!!!

I believe RAPE is CRIME! A horrible one that should be punished with DEATH.

It is DISGUSTING how someone can FORCE them self on someone. These people are SICK in the head, they have no FEELINGS for others. They do it for their own PLEASURE and are SELFISH.

Speeding

SPEEDING!!!

Speeding kills!!!

Its 30 for a reason!!!

Around 2,000 young drivers are killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads each year.

One in five of all serious accidents involve drivers under the age of 21.

If you hit me at I have 80% chance of dieing, But if you hit me at I have 80% chance of living.

Knives Crimes

KNIFE CRIME

Is Knives Crime Really Getting Worse?

Bullying Is Not A Part Of Growing Up!!!

Bullying Is Really Bad, How Can You Get Pleasure Out Of HURTING, UPSETTING, TAUNTING Someone. Everyone Is EQUAL And Deserves To Be Treated With RESPECT. Treat Someone How You Would Want To Be Treated.

As I Sit Here,
Thinking,
I Realise That Words Do Hurt,
They’re WorseThan Sticks And Stones.
You See, When They Taunt Me, And Make
Malicious Comments: It Hurts.And Sometimes
I Wish That I Weren’t
Alive Or That
I Was Different, More
Like Them In A Way:
Popular.
Confident.
Big.

That’s What They Think Anyhow.
They ThinkThey Are Big,
And Popular.
But Inside They Are More Of A Coward Than Me.
They Too Have Probably Been Bullied,
And Although It Hurts,
It Makes Me Realise,
What Sort Of Person Could
Turn Another’s Life Into A Misery

Racsim

RACISM

Put a stop to RACISM!

Racism is an issue at the moment and needs to be STOPED.

“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.” Martin Luther King

http://thinkexist.com/quotations/racism/

I personally believe racism is WRONG WRONG WRONG. Everyone is the same and should get treated equally; no one is different everyone is people.

A BLACK MAN WALKS INTO A CAFE EARLY ONE MORNING AND NOTICES HE'S THE ONLY ONE THERE

AS HE SAT DOWN HE NOTICED A WHITE MAN SAT BEHIND HIM, THE WHITE MAN SAID "COLORED PEOPLE AREN'T ALLOWED IN HERE" .

THE BLACK MAN REPLIED...

"WHEN I WAS BORN I WAS BLACK

WHEN I GREW UP I WAS BLACK

WHEN I'M SICK I'M BLACK

STAY IN THE SUN I'M BLACK

WHEN I'M COLD I'M BLACK

AND WHEN I DIE I'M BLACK.

BUT YOU SIR...

WHEN YOU WERE BORN YOU WERE PINK

WHEN YOUR'E SICK YOUR'E GREEN

WHEN YOU STAY IN THE SUN YOUR'E RED

WHEN YOUR'E COLD YOU TURN BLUE

AND WHEN YOU DIE YOU TURN "PURPLE."

"AND YET YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO CALL ME COLORED"

THE BLACK MAN TURNED BACK AROUND AND THE WHITE MAN WALKED AWAY.

Abortion

ABORTION

A CHILD IS A GIFT FROM GOD!

Abortion: termination of pregnancy.

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&defl=en&q=define:abortion&ei=Ttv2SauNN8vflQedi4G1Cg&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title

Do you believe abortion is right or wrong???

The unborn child is alive from the moment of conception and has the right to life.
I personally believe abortion is WRONG. Why have sex in the first place if you cannot deal with the consequences after. Always use protection.

However, in some cases i believe abortion is the right choice like, if someone had to have an abortion because they would die or the baby would die. A serious risk to the mothers life if the pregnancy continues. Or if raped should not be forced to have the baby.

Lying

LYING...LIES...LIAR

Lying is when you are not telling the truth.

LIAR LIAR YOUR BUMS ON FIRE!!!

Lying...Good thing or Bad?

I personally think that if you lie all the time then that is bad but if you just occasionally tell a white lie that's not bad. Everyone lies it just comes naturally to them. There is not one person that i don't know that has not told a lie.

Bandits

BaNdItS

Bandits are mostly known for breaking the law for their personal gain. They do has they want and make no effort to get along with people in there society.

The Effects of Drugs!!!



The Romans Catholic church views on drugs... "The use of drugs inflicts very grave damage on human health and life. Their use, except on strictly therapeutic grounds, is a grave offence. Clandestine production of and trafficking in drugs are scandalous practices. They constitute direct co-operation in evil, since they encourage people to practices gravely contrary to the moral law."

Masturbation

MASTURBATION

In the 19th Century it was a DISEASE: in the 20th century its a CURE.

Masturbation is sexual stimulation that produces orgasm.

SEXUAL PLEASURE!!!

Stroke the lizard....pump the python....peel the eel....beat the pup....blast the bear....slam the seal

Is it right or wrong?

Some believe its normal, some believe its wrong.

Many believe its natural activity that most people engage throughout their life.

http://marriage.about.com/cs/masturbation/f/masturbatfaq1.htm

It all depends on your personal beliefs. Some religious people believe its bad for your spirit.

Tattoos

TATTOOS

TATTOO...GOOD OR BAD???

Tattoos are a form of artistic expression; many individuals see it as a work of art. However, some individual’s see it has bad because they associate it with drugs, alcohol and gangs, but not all tattoos are associated with such things. It can have a deep significant meaning to it. http://www.progressiveu.org/234335-tattoos-todays-society

Many people see tattoos as a good thing many see it as a bad thing. I personally do not see tattoos as being bad at all there is nothing bad about having a tattoo. Unless, you are considering have your boyfriends/girlfriends name tattooed on you like celebrity Nick Cannon then I think that is a bad idea because you do not know if you are going to be with your partner forever but the tattoo will be on you your whole life.
