Hi
My name is Kate I am in Mr. Fisher’s class. I am 12 years old and am in grade 7/8. I have two sisters my mom my dad and a dog named happy. Our classroom is the first one through the lower doors. We are lucky because we have a couch in our room. Its orange and falling apart. Right now it is -18oC and yesterday it was -28oC! That’s cold! Our school has around 150-170 kids from grades k-12. Our town has about 700 people in our community including kids! Yes it’s a small town.
My top three concerns are:
<!–[if !supportEmptyParas]–> <!–[endif]–>
- Smoking – smoking kills millions, so why smoke? For every cigar you have you die 7 minuets sooner then you would normally. The people who smoke most are teenage girls mostly by pressure. Smoking is gross, just think of what you’re doing to your body! Even if you’re not the one smoking but you’re around a smoker your still getting second hand smoke. Think about it. It’s like paying someone to kill you.

- Drinking – again, what is the point of drinking. It’s poisoning your body and gets you sick the next day. Drinking is a major problem because it makes people do stupid things like violence, drugs, rape, and may even drink and drive. They could die from being drunk and even hurt innocent people. For example, my friend’s dad was drunk and got on the back of a motorcycle. He wasn’t the one driving but he died and the guy who was driving only had a few broken bones. It was stupid to drink in the first place but now he’s dead that decision changed his life dramatically.

- Global Warming – Global Warming is a major problem because it is killing our ecosystem and melting ice caps. Its destroying habitats for animals and people. It’s causing floods and stronger storms all because of people not recycling and people polluting the atmosphere. It’s not good news but we are slowly boiling ourselves and eventually we’ll realize it and it would be to late to stop it.
