Texting and Driving Will Kill

Texting and driving can and will kill, many my age will say they have not texted and drove. Here is a fact that i got off of "Texting and Driving Fact"
Five seconds is the average time your eyes are off the road while texting. When traveling at 55 mph, that's enough to cover the length of a football field.(2009,VTTI). That's only 1 of 30. Many think that it is ok, and that they have it under control, that they can text and not be hurt or killed or hurting someone else or even killing them. I have watched many videos to come up to do this topic. In the videos i have seen people killed by hitting other cars, trees, 18 wheelers, and even trains. People texting while driving are more likely to be killed or kill someone else than a person that has met or gone over the 0.8 legal limit. So think twice before you pick up the phone to read a text, or even send one to someone else because Texting and driving can and will kill.

Teenage DUI

     While studies show that teen drinking and driving has decreased by 54 percent, there are still about 1 million teens that drank and drove last year. Among teen drivers involved in fatal accidents in 2010 1 in 5 had alcohol in their system. 

      Drinking and driving is bad enough when adults do it, but when a teenager does it is not only a bad decision but it is illegal as well. It is illegal for anyone to drink and drive regardless of age but it is against the law for anyone under the age of 21 to even ingest alcohol. 

     Teenagers can not handle alcohol as well as most adults so even drinking it is incredibly risky. Then to mix that with driving is not only putting yourself in danger but everyone around you. Alcohol impairs a persons sight and the ability to react to a immediate situation that requires fast reaction time. To make that worse a teenagers brain is not full developed so alcohol can have temporary or even permanent affects on their brain. Thousands of teenagers are injured or killed in car accidents that involved alcohol.

My Reading Bucket List

1)My first book is WAKE by Lisa McMann, it is about a girl who can jump into other people’s dreams and towards the end of the book, she starts to realize that if she tries hard enough she can pull herself out of the dream.
2)My next book is by the same author Lisa McMann and this book is FADE, it is the same girl and she can still jump into other dreams and now she is able to start talking to people in the dream, she tells them “It’s your dream; you can change it if you try.”
3)Blue Moon by Alyson Nod, on the cover is an unusual moon on it; this book brought my attention by the unusual moon and I like these kinds of books.
4)The Dead and Gone by Suzan Beth, it is to be about an asteroid hitting the moon, setting off a tailspin of horrific climate changes, and it sounds like a really good book.
5)Flirting with the Monster by Ellen Hopkins, this is about a girl; she tells about her life and everything that she has been through.
6)Locked in Time by Lois Duncan, she writes very interesting books. This one in particular is about a girl, Nore, who discovers her new stepmother’s horrible beauty secrets, and times running out for her to save herself and her father.
7)The Twisted Window also by Lois Duncan, this is almost like the first setting of Locked in Time. The Nore is still the main character in the book.
8)Drawing in the Dust by Zoe Klein, I have read this book repeatedly and it gets better every time.
9)The Uglies by Scott Westerfeld, this book is a work of fiction of course, it take imagination to follow the author in the book and to understand the book.
10)Extras also by Scott Westerfeld, I have also read this book repeatedly because it gets better every time I read it.

If i was on the Titanic i would not have much sympathy because they did tell the passengers that there was a danger of hitting an ice berg. when the titanic hit the ice berg the captain did nothing. so i don't think that they deserve my sympathy.

Pity

I would not give the soldier any pity because he had shot Jewish families as men, wemon and littke childeren had been forced to jump from a burning building. This soldier was 22 and wanted to confess to, and obtain absolution from, a Jew because he felt sorry for himself, not for the millions of Jews that died, him because he knew that he would have that feeling to die with and to haunt him in his grave.

Forgiveness

The man who hijacked an airplane on the 9-11-01 attacks and hit the Pentagon, should not be forgiven because, not only did he take his life but, he also other people who did not deserve to die. The September 11, 2001 attacks were carried out by 19 hijackers affiliated with al-Qaeda. The hijackers were organized into four teams, each led by a pilot trained hijacker with four ''Muscle Hijackers'', who were trained to help. 15 of the 19 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. So my conclusion of this is, the man who flue the plane into the Pentagon should not be forgiven.
