DANGERS OF DRUGS

There are many persuasive arguments you can give to convince middle school students not start using drugs. One argument is the pain you would put your family through. Not only is it dangerous to using the drugs, it is also very dangerous to be around the people that sell the drugs. One of the best arguments I could give it the very harmful affects that the drug does to your body. There are endless arguments that you could give to students not to buy and use drugs but I believe those are the best arguments.       

      Using drugs are very dangerous to not only you but your family too. When people start using drugs, they do not think about the pain and suffrage that your family will have to go through. Your family will have to go through the challenge of overcoming your addiction with you, which will put a strain on your relationship with them. It would be very hard for your mother or father to see you using a dangerous drug. Not only will it affect you but it will affect the people that you love most.       

      When somebody said “drugs” they only think about using them. They do not think about the extremely dangerous people that you have to be around to get the drugs. These types of people are not nice, and could hurt you. These people have probably committed crimes and have been in prison. There is so much more to the word “drug” than people think about, such as the people you have to be associated with.

SMOKING VS VAPING

Vaping is often seen as a safe or safer alternative to smoking. It is also relatively new to the market, only hitting the mainstream over the past decade or so. Because it hasn’t been a part of the public consciousness for as long as cigarette smoking, there is a lot that people and even smokers do not understand about it. Here, I will compare a few different aspects of the two habits Vaping VS Smoking to help people get a better understanding of how they are similar and where they differ, and whether one is safer than the other or not.

         In addition to tar – which is a collective term for various particles that have a wide variety of carcinogens – the smoke of tobacco cigarettes contains thousands of harmful chemicals, at least 70 of which have been proven to be cancer-causing agents. When these chemicals enter your body, they impact every organ they come in contact with, and several organs they don’t even come in direct contact with.

         Vaping, unlike smoking, involves the inhalation of vapourized e-cigarette liquid consisting of water, nicotine, a base of propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin and occasionally, flavouring. The lack of smoke inhalation is what leads many e-cigarette users to believe vaping is a safer alternative to smoking.

tips to be a fashion man

       

          One of the most important things for teenage boys is to feel at ease with themselves. As a teen, you want to be yourself and fit in with everyone else. Self-expression and acceptance are crucial things for teen guys and style has a lot to do with it.
          Your appearance is a big part of who you are and looking on the outside as you feel on the inside is something that, especially during your teen years, can be hard to achieve. Teenage boys are faced with many aspects of style which they don’t know how to handle. Because your body is changing so rapidly, and often not evenly, it might be hard to find the right clothes to wear and your apparel might sometimes make you feel bad or embarrassed. Moreover, boys tend to get frustrated by the fact that other boys look so different from them, even though they are the same age. This is why it is important to learn how to make the best of your body and body type.
          Don’t forget, you can always change your body, working out can make you lose weight if this is what you wish or it can build muscle, but, often, these things take time. It is always crucial to make the best of what you have now, as this will give you the confidence and power to work towards achieving your goals.
          Wearing clothes that fit is probably the single most important fashion advice you will ever receive. Regardless of your size or body type, wearing clothes that fit is the one thing that will make you look best. Basically, the clothes you wear should fit your size, they should not be smaller or bigger. A small guy who wears clothes that are too big for his size will look as if he is drowning in his clothes. If you are a small guy, and want to appear bigger by wearing smaller clothes, that won’t work either: you will look even smaller and strangled by your clothes. On the other hand, if you are a bigger guy, wearing clothes that are bigger than your size will make you look even bigger and wearing clothes that are too tight will make you look as if you are hurt by your clothes.

           When it comes to your haircut, it is important to find a haircut that fits your features and traits. However, if you are not a guy to invest a lot of time in doing your hair and maintaining it, you should be advised that a buzz cut is better than an unmaintained hairdo.

FAVOURITE MUSIC

I love to listen to music. The part of music that attracts me is the attitude of the writers and the tone, because the songs represent the writers’ mood and feeling. Through the songs people can receive what the writers try to express, so I often listen to Jazz, Rock, and R& B. These three types of music contain different languages but they are all my favorite song style.                                            When I really want to relax my body, or do the exercises at home I will listen to Jazz music. Jazz music is much faster and more relaxing. It makes me want to dance, doing any kind of motion to let go of my body while the music is on. Sometimes I prefer to do it on my bed. It is healthful for my body.

                 My second favorite song style is Rock.  Rock is very different from Jazz because Rock is quite noisy and screaming. But the tone of the music is like magic that can flush all my unhappiness, even though the things are still right there, but at the moment I can feel I have strength to solve problems, and I am not scared anymore. When I have something to face or have to make a choice, I always listen to Rock music, letting the music go through my mind and I can think deeper and deeper.

                  I often just sit on the chair and do nothing.  R&B music can help me get away from my busy life and clean up my soul. This are three type of my favourites music that i listen.

Before the Hari Raya

                        Every year, my family and I will be celebrated the most interesting day which is called "Hari Raya" after one month of fasting in my grandmother village which located in Kajang.

            One day before the Hari Raya, we woke up early to prepared all things such as made "Rendang Ayam" and "Rendang Daging" while my mother and my sister cleaned and decorated the house to look beautiful.

            When the night comes, we were letting off firecrackers and fireworks. The situation filled with the sound of exploding fireworks. But the way, my mother and my sister still make "Ketupat" and "Kuah Kacang" for tomorrow morning the Hari Raya. Without "Ketupat" and " Kuah Kacang" it does not a Hari Raya for my family. We all slept late night..

            In conclusion, I am very happy because that day we all one family together. It is a sweet moment for me to keep it in my heart.

KEEP FIT IN HARI RAYA

Hari Raya is the day where we celebrate our sacrifices of fasting for at least in 30 days. During Hari Raya, Muslims all around the world will be having fun and joy throughout the month. But, despite of having fun during hari raya, we also need to take care of ourselves, especially about our health. indeed, health comes first from other things in this life.

           It is true that health is a wealth, so, in order to maintain a good health, it is very important for every single of us to take care of a few things during Hari Raya. Even though we will be served with a various type of food, we still need to keep fit and healthy.

           Basically, during Hari Raya, we will be invited too many ocassions such as open houses and Raya's celebration events. However, as all of us want to keep fit and healthy, we need to somehow control our portions of food that we take. This is to make sure that we don't eat more than we need. As a result, we can simply avoid overeating that can lead to obesity.

           Firstly, in order to control the portions of the food that we take, we must ensure that we only take the food that we can eat.

           Besides, we also need to exercise regularly at least twice a week. This is to ensure that we get rid of the unwanted things in our bodies such as toxins urea.

           In conclusion, we all can have fun during Hari Raya but we need to make sure that we also take care of our health so that we will not face problems afterwards. To me, Hari Raya is such a very good month for us to know and meet one another, besidesof getting a lot of food, we also can share forgiveness and love. But after all, health should be the primary thing that we all should focus on, not only during Hari Raya but, in every single day we alive.
