WHATS WRONG WITH OUR DRUG COMPANY'S? WONT HELP A DYING 7 YEAR OLD BOY THAT'S IN PAIN

       

Josh Hardy, 7 year old boy, going through so much pain and sadness, who is in intensive care at ST. Jude's Hospital, which are located in different states, Therefore he is being treated in Memphis, Tennessee. with a failing heart and failing kidney's. This young boy is brave and a fighter, he has had cancer four times already and all four times he has kicked cancers' butt, but with disease that he has now cant get past it. The only opportunity that he has in order to live is a drug called brincidofovir from a company that isn't willing to give it up to save a 7 year old. What's the reason? Why wont they give it to him? From their opinion they said that it would slow down their own efforts to get this drug out on the market. This company is selfish from my opinion and don't care about other peoples life just their money. Why wouldn't you give Josh Hardy one of your drugs to test out the product. That could save his life? The company said that they will not give this drug to the young boy because then other people will continue to ask for the drug and it will just spiral out of control so they are just saying no to everyone. In reality though,whats the point of putting it out in the market if your rejecting people now and killing innocent life's. They should make it an over the counter medicine but the only way they can buy it is only by having the authorization from the doctor with a signed slipped saying this person has the authorization to buy this drug.

THE IMPOSSIBLE IS THE IMPOSSIBLE TRYING TO FIND AN AIRPLANE IN THE OCEAN WHO RECENTLY IS MISSING

Its been almost a week a plane has been missing, without no trace, and parts missing in the ocean. This gives me the goosebumps knowing that i can be in this situation. Every time i got on a plane i had the fear that something was going to happen and I know there's a small percent that it will happen, but to read this article and for it to say that the plane has just disappeared and went missing is very ironic. It has been a week that passed by already and the coast guard have made many thorough searches and which are still going to be carried on until they find that plane. The plane that went missing was carrying approximately 200 passengers. This story from my opinion is kind of weird because how can a plane just go missing out of no where? I be updated with this article to see what really happen. When i think about this articles, i look back to all the shows and movies that usually have this type of situation. The theory is that the plane was brought down but they don't know how, and is probably scattered around the ocean in a specific area. The plane could of not changed directions because every plane has a GPS built in it, therefore if it changes coursers the people from the airport they took off will radio them and tell them to get back on course. From my point of view, this plane has crashed on a small island, and the passengers and the pilots may be injured or some of the passengers are dead. There is alot of situations that could of happen to this plane, but if the plane exploded in mid-air then the different parts of the plane had sunk down to the bottom of the ocean and scattered all over the ocean due to the strong current that the ocean carries and builds up. Hopefully, they find this plane that has been disappeared or maybe they will find washed up parts from the plane crash on our shores or beaches.

SHOULD 16 YEARS OLD HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK AT THIS AGE?



 

 In my opinion, i think teenagers of 16 years of age should be able to work and get paid minimum wage, which is $8.75 an hour. As a 16 year old you are getting to that stage of becoming an adult. As an adult you have to be responsible and take care of your business. The reasons why i think 16 years old need to work or have to work is to have an experience of what its going to be like in the future, when you have a real job. The job that you have as a teenager is to supply you. Examples are buying your own cloths and shoes, buying food, and last, at this age teenagers have a car which also have to use their money to put gas in their car. From my perspective, this summer i'm going to be working two jobs. My first job is caddying, which i've been doing for almost 5 years now. We don't get paid minimum wage, we get paid in cash. I get paid $130 and i can make at least $5,000 a summer. Then my second job is working at a family fun center, which i will get paid minimum wage. All this money that im making go towards my car, cloths, shoes, food, and the bills that i pay for my mom. 
At this age teenagers have to realize that having job its a big responsibility and its not a game. Having a job at the age of 16 has its positive and negative opinions. The negative thing is that, teenagers also need to concentrate on their school work and not only their job. That is when their grades start to drop and they eventually drop out of school. The positive thing is that teenagers get to see the real world and how applying for a job works and the things they have to go through in life.

DAUGHTER FIGHTS AGAINST HER PARENTS IN COURT FOR THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE

A teen from New Jersey, named Rachel Canning. She had decided to sue both of her parents, from her perspective because she got kicked out of her house and her parents refuse to pay for their daughters tuition fee. From the parents point of view, both of them said, "We didn't force her to leave the house,  she decided to leave the house because she didn't want to listen to our rules when living under our roof which we provided her with . In the case against her parents, the lawsuit that she was holding against her parents. She wants her parents to pay the rest of her Catholic High School tuition, pay for her transportation and living bills, pay the thousands of dollars for her college tuition, and last but not least pay her legal bills. Personally, I think she should appreciate the things that she has gotten from her parents and she's lucky to have a roof over her head because a lot of people don't have a roof over their heads, they have to live on the streets. Rachel came off to strong towards her parents when in reality she's the one acting like a spoiled brat asking for everything, when her parents provide her with anything she needs. I think she doesn't realize the pain she is putting her parents through, she is suing her parents for a lie that her parents never committed. In my opinion, i think that her parents are right and that she should take full responsibility in her life and choose what path to take = because her parents arent always going to be their for her. I'm just glad that the judge denied her request.

GIRL SCOUT WITH A GENIUS IDEA BUT A DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE 



In the article that i read today was an interesting story and very surprising, This article tells us, how a girl scout of 13 years of age sold more than 117 cookie boxes within 45 minutes. She set up her materials in front of a shop right outside of a medical marijuana clinic. From my perspective, i think this is a negative article because for people to read and then girl scouts knowing about the news. Now more young girl scouts are going to think about selling their cookies in different dangerous areas where they live  and which in that area they sell drugs like marijuana to try to sell their cookies. When i become a parent and my little girl is a girl scout cookie, i wouldn't want my little girl to sell cookies in a dangerous area and put her life at risk just for potheads. It makes sense why someone would do it, but I think this is a bad example for young girls in the girl scout program.

TEACHERS', SHOULD THEY HANDOUT HOMEWORK & STOP WASTING PAPER



     

should teachers handout homework to their students? Teachers should handout homework to those students with exceptions and not pile us with homework because we have to worry about other classes with other teachers giving us homework then studying for test that same day, unless the students are not understanding the concept of the topic or lesson. Teachers that handout homework should not take up to 30 mins a night, that way students are well rested and ready to began the next day of school. If all teachers gave a limit of only 30 mins a night, then students won't feel over whelmed. Teachers should realize that they shouldn't be giving out homework when we have a test for another subject the next day.




     To me homework, shouldn't be assigned each and every day. its already bad enough that students are already in school for almost 8 hours straight. When students finish school and go home they should have the opportunity to relax and study for what they have to study for the next day. Teachers will also help them out not giving out homework because some of my teachers make comments and complains about having to stay up all night going through papers and giving them a grade. If teachers wouldn't pile us with homework, they wouldn;t have to complain about grading papers the whole night.

THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA IN THE STATE OF    COLORADO 

January 2014 was a huge break when they legalized marijuana in the state of Colorado. They legalized weed for the state of Colorado as a way to raise money for the state, by taxing marijuana. There is many opinions,arguments, and debates on legalizing marijuana in Colorado. Coming from a young teenage girl, who has seen more than she probably should have, I believe this legalization of being able to go to your local establishment and buying pot is alarming because it could lead to more extensive use and lead to more bad habits and more serious drugs. I'm 99 percent sure the state of Colorado was high off of marijuana when deciding whether it should be legal or not. I do in fact believe that if you have some sort of illness and are in need of medical Marijuana then by all means you may get some from your doctor. But if not, you shouldn't be able to just pick some up and get blazed for no reason.
