 * Should Stores Sell Violent Video Games to Minors **

**By Abdi Sharif **



**some violent games should be sold to minors. I think that violent video games are okay for minors because it makes them more mature and can find solutions to real-life problems. I think it also makes them learn more about nature. **

**Another reason that video games are good for is that kids learn more about nature. I think that some parent won’t allow that but what if you are already aware of it? What if your child is a teen or adolescent has already learned this in school. “What’s a deviant violent video game?” asked Justice Antonin Scalia, “As opposed to what? A normal violent video game? **

**Also violent video games requires intense hand to eye coordination so if you play a lot of violent video games you might have better control of your hands. For example Call Of Duty is a first person shooting with remarkable graphics that requires this skill. **
 * Action games, according to a [|study by the University of Rochester], train the brains of players to make faster decisions without losing accuracy. In today’s world, it is important to move quickly without sacrificing accuracy. **
 * In conclusion, violent video games aren’t that bad as parents think the are.so for the parents of kids who like violent video games think about the negative and positive effects of violent video games before making them feel bad by saying “no”. **

One of the most memorable moments in super size me is in the 3rd day when he had his 1st supersize meal and he vomited. This is the most memorable moment because it showed that he couldn’t stand it and he was surprised that he couldn’t stand McDonald super size meal.
 * Finally, **

Another memorable moment is when he was telling us what happened to his body when he did not start the experiment and when he finished his experiment. It is a memorable moment because some people eat McDonald every day and there body changes that much during the 30 days.

The final memorable moment is when it showed how much effect obesity had in the end of the movie. I was surprised by how many bad symptoms there were and how dangerous fast food is.

Young people should limit their consumption. Increased consumption of fast food has created a 250 percent increase in obese teens between 1980 and 2008, according to the National Institutes of Health. Obese teens have a risk of heart disease type 2 diabetes and stroke. Fast food makes a person obese, which makes type 2 diabetes 11 times more likely to happen when they become adult.

Fast food is harming the American society. When it was 2012 the fattest city in America was Mississippi. It had over 100 McDonald restaurants. McDonalds made some change when they canceled out the super size because they noticed how Morgan changed in just 30 days.

Fast food has too much of one mineral, sodium, which elevates blood pressure. High blood pressure can cause heart attacks and strokes. Teens should consume no more than 2,400 milligrams per day. Also just plain potato chips have over 1,680 milligrams. So the easiest way to get high blood pressure is to eat a bag of plain potato chips.

1. I would not because he thinks of his life like flowers and he will be a very mysterious of being one of a kind.

2. He compares himself to trees and flowers. Some bad things are compared like thorns and good things like aspens.

3. He said he will always be himself. I think that no matter he tries to imitate a person he will always be himself.

4. He feels he has no confidence and hates himself. I think a person can indicate his feelings through line 4 and 15.

pg 39 answers // 1. i would spend an afternoon with song of myself because he is very confident and loves who he is. // // 2. the speaker is talking about making himself at ease and is calm. it means that that person is confident. // // 3. one world that is aware is his largest that's what it means.he thinks that the world is huge to him and that means he says hes tiny compared to it. // // 4.they would banish them if you tell. she probably feels sneaky and secretive.celebrities are always bothered by news and fans always on their front porch. // // 5.nobodies don't get bothered, have burdens, and responsibility's like a somebody. being a somebody is better because people notice you, talk to you, and be friends to you but being a nobody is like being a ghost to people. //

My name is mr.uzumaki: a math teacher. I wake up at 6:00 and go to school. I go to the office and report that I am here, I go to my classroom and prepare for today’s lesson. The bell rings and the students come to my class. I hand them a 300-point test. And I catch somebody cheating and I send him to the office with a referral. After the fourth period the next period was S.U.R.G.E. when the kids came I found out that a student was late so I marked him tardy and then we went on with the lesson. Today in surge we were learning about plagrism and there were no excuses. After that it was lunch break so I started watching YouTube on my computer and eating noodles. A student comes up to me and asks me for missing work. I hand him his missing work and give him the instructions to it and he leaves. I don’t have a class so I have a longer period for lunch break. Mr. Kline comes up to me and told me that I was doing a great job and he is going to raise my paycheck. I accepted it and then the bell rang now it was my last period. In 7th period I had the 8th graders. Today they were learning about mean median, mode and MAD.i took attendance and everybody was here. I gave them 7 warm up problems. And then I started calling up people for homework. Today I had tutoring so I stayed in class and hour longer. A student named Darren came to my class first and told me to grade his quiz from last week. I told him that he got a B- on his quiz and then he said okay and then left. After 30 minutes about 50 people were in my class screaming like crazy. I stood in front of the room and I shouted at them to be quiet or they will be out of my room. When tutoring finished I went to m car and headed home. When I came home I looked for my but I couldn’t find them. I looked through the window in my car and the keys were on my seat I called my neighbor and I asked f he had the right tools to get the key out, he said he did. He tugged open the window a little and he took a thin metal and hooked it on the key chain and then he pulled it out. After I got my keys back I opened the trunk and took out my binder. I said thanks and he went home and I went home too. When I came to my house I ate dinner. After dinner I started grading homework. I brainstormed ideas for tomorrow’s lesson and homework and then i took a shower and brushed my teeth and then I went to sleep = = = = = = = The Road Not Taken = BY [|ROBERT FROST] Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

today in photoshop i learned about how o transform and change the opacity in pictures i also learned how to paste keyboard style.i also learned about different layers and how important it is to change their name.

<range type="comment" id="498824846_1">One day in Austin Texas there was a boy who was named John Benet. He was a proud boy with few friends. One day he and his best friend Tim took a walk around the block he and Tim turned into an alley and saw a sign about a missing boy. That boy had earrings small ears no eyelashes and piercings in his nose. John and Tim started to laugh at how the boy looks insulting every part in the picture. That was when it was confirmed that both john and Tim made the ** worst ** decisions in their lives.

The next day John and Tim had the worst luck. They were the last people finishing the mile In PE, they failed in their English quiz, and they failed their final math test. At lunch Tim was walking with his tray when he suddenly got tripped by something and fell right into John. John and Tim were confused why they were having such a bad day. Both told their stories and were exactly alike. The two boys thought and thought about what it could be until finally Tim said, “It was a curse of mocking the picture.”

John and Tim went to the same alley again and heard laughter. The picture was gone! They looked up and down for it but it wasn’t there. When john and Tim couldn’t find the picture they sat down and John said, “We are going to find that picture or even worse will happen to us” Tim nodded and stood up to look for the picture again. He went to the other corner in the alley and he saw a dumpster “It might be in there” Tim thought, he ran to the dumpster and Tim was shocked at what he saw.

Tim saw human skulls, brains, spines, and ribs Tim screamed as loud as he could and then fainted. John heard the scream and immediately bounced to his feet and turned to the corner and saw a dark figure going near the unconscious Tim. John found a rock and threw it at the figure. The rock went right through! The figure howled and disappeared. John was open-mouthed about what just happened and ran to Tim to wake him up John told the whole story about what happened when he was unconscious. John said, “We shouldn’t have ever mocked that picture”.

The next day john and Tim cautiously walked to school they treated every ledge as a mountain they stood far away as possible from bikes and they didn’t even think about crossing a street. They took a detour if they were forced to cross a street and they didn't play at recess. At recess Tim and John sat at the bench seeing everyone having fun at recess. “I’m tired of sitting around I need some fun!” Tim said as he stood up to play, right when Tim took a step he felt a cold chill and immediately dropped to the floor, John jumped to his feet and screamed “Tim!” John took Tim to the hospital if he was still alive but when the doctor checked him out there was no signs of a heartbeat.

John was speechless he felt it was his fault that Tim had to suffer. He went to a military base and looked for all the weaponry he could find. He found rifles, knives, cannons, handguns and grenades he took as much as his body could handle and left to hunt down the ghost.

John went to that same alley again and said, “Come out you monster”! Then John heard the cruelest laugh in the world the demon came out with a blue object in its hands john observed it closely “that’s Tim”! John said the creature laughed again “you want this back don’t you!” the creature said. John without hesitating grabbed his knives and jumped aiming directly at his heart. Die”! John screamed.

The ghost grabbed John’s hand and striped him of all of his weapons and then threw him to the floor then the hand that he had with the soul dropped off. Tim's soul was still living! Then the blue object took form of water and headed where the hospital was the Ghost was paralyzed and John took a knife and sliced the head right off the ghost the ghost fell and turned into flames and disappeared. When that was over John rushed to the hospital and saw that Tim was alive! John jumped to Tim and screamed "your back!" "Where was I" "the monster took you but your back"! And John and Tim never laughed at a missing boy ever again.</range id="498824846_1">

am happy with my grade because i got a B in my bullying essay i might had some flaws but i was aiming for a better grade than a C so i got what i wanted and i am proud.

<range type="comment" id="465995552_1"><range type="comment" id="465995552_3">Bullying is bad for many reason</range id="465995552_3">s such as suicide, depression, and anxiety</range id="465995552_1">. Bullies do this just for their pleasure or entertainment such as 13 year old Rebecca Ann. Rebecca Ann was a 13 year old girl who committed suicide because of cyber bullying. she never told her mom about the bullying. On a Monday she went to a abandoned concrete plant and jumped of the tower because of this never ending story.

<range type="comment" id="465995552_2">Another reason was about the suicide about 15 year old Amanda Todd w</range id="465995552_2">ho got hunted down by cyber bullying getting messages saying “why don’t you go kill your self” and “there are plenty suicidal drugs out there”. the next day she decided to drink bleach and get her out of this world. she got saved just in time by the hospital. when she got out of the hospital there were messages saying “ I wish she had better bleach then the doctors couldn’t do anything” after that she started cutting and she had anxiety she received more messages about this and decided to do a suicide.

There are many other stories like this and all can prove that bullying increases the thought of suicide and anxiety. All bullies must have an experience of this pain such as already been bullied and they want to spread that pain to other kids who have peace and bully them to death. bullies aren't the real enemy. the people that bully bullies are the real enemy.
