Legalize Marijuana

     Legalizing marijuana will generate tax dollars, less people in prison, and lower narcotic usage. Since the 1930's legalizing marijuana has been a problem in the United States. First of all, the government became with an agreement that marijuana should be legal in the United States. This means by legalizing marijuana the government is going to tax it and going to make profit from it. In other words, they are going to make money. Another reason, is that there are not going to be people hiding everywhere, because they want to smoke marijuana. Also the sale of marijuana is not going to send people to prison. The second reason why legalizing marijuana is a good choice is because there are going to be less people in prison. For example, more then one million people were arrested and sent to jail for having or consuming marijuana. By legalizing marijuana in the United States, there will be less arrests for having or consuming marijuana. The last reason why legalizing marijuana is a good choice is because people are going to consume less narcotic usage; such as heroine, cocaine, and many more.

Movie Costs

     How many people watch movies around the world? Since the 1920's, movies started to play in theaters. They started to have a big impact on human society. The first movies that came out during that time were silent films. They weren't as entertaining as the movies today. Modern movies have special features. These types of movies are in third dimension (3D), blue-ray. There ate many ways to watch movies; for example, two options are to watch movies on Netflix or rent them on Red-box. Trying to find the least expensive way to watch movies is by their price, benefits, and variety of movies.
     First of all, Netflix and Red-box have different prices for movie watching. Netflix costs $7.99 a month and red-box costs  one dollar and some cents for renting a single movie. Netflix is the world's internet television network. More than 50 million members in 50 countries like to watch Netflix. Anyone can watch movies on Netflix anywhere, at anytime. Because now a days, every single person that has access to internet can watch any movie they would like to watch. On the other hand wit Red-box, people rent a single movies for one dollar. The disadvantage is that anyone who rents movies from Red-box can be charged interest if they don't turn in the movie on time.
     When someone has already signed in for Netflix , and they want to watch  a movie that Netflix doesn't have it. They can call Netflix and ask for the movie they are interested in watching. If they have it, Netflix will mail it to the costumer right away. The greatest advantage to Netflix is that they let people keep the movie for as long as they want. If they want another movie, they have to send the one they have back to Netflix; so, Netflix can send them the new one they asked for. Red-box doesn't have the same plan as Netflix does, but they both have blue-ray movies, DVDs, and the same type of movies. If people want to watch blue-ray movies on Netflix, they have to call and ask for the movie that they want to watch. This means that they are going to add two dollars on their bill; that way they can watch as many movies as they want n blue-ray.
     Now, Netflix and Red-box have many movies that people can watch. Red-box has the recently movies that were played on in theaters, but Netflix does not. Netflix has a variety of movies which s good, but the recent movie are not yet available on Netflix. So, people can watch them for free. The only way they can watch any recent movie that is playing on theaters is by calling Netflix and ask the for any recent movie. If they have it, they will mail it to them. Netflix wants their costumers to be happy with all the movies they have. It has a great variety of TV shows and cartoons that little kids are going to like and watch every day. Also they have one section that is only for children; so, they can watch any cartoons or cartoon movies.
     Watching movies is fun. People spend time with their families and friends. They can watch movies on blue-ray or DVD. The cost, when people sign up for Netflix , is $7.99 a month plus two dollars for watching movies on blue-ray, they can save a lot of money instead of renting the movies on Red-box. If there are people who like to watch movies a lot anytime, anywhere. Imagine how much money they can save on Netflix instead or renting movies on Red-box.  

Should Students Who Commit Cyber Bullying be Suspended from School?

     How many students have been cyberbullied by other students at school or outside of school? During the 1970's, bullying was different from today. In the past, students that were victims of bullying could not escape from their bullies, because they were being followed from school to their homes. When they got to their homes, they felt safe, because there were not bullied anymore. Today, it is very different. Bullies now use a new method which is the technology to bully their victims every single day with nonstop behavior. They use electronic devices such as cellphones, computers, and tablets. By using these type of devices, students can communicate via social media, text messages, and chat to cyberbully students. Students who commit cyberbullying should be suspended from school because they mentally destroy students' minds, cause them to be isolated, and can cause them to commit suicide.
     Students who commit cyberbullying should be suspended from school, because they mentally destroy students minds. Bullies do not understand what can cause to another student. They want to bully someone else, because they feel inferior. They want to feel that they have the power to control someone. One example is making rumors about someone that are not true. From there, they start calling them names such as, chicken, four eyes, ugly, and many other names that are inappropriate that affects the victim negatively. According to the website (www.americaspcc.org/bullying), students that are bullied might have problems at school and with their families because they are being bullied 24/7 by by bullies that use their cellphones, Facebook, or other types of websites or devices to cyberbully them.
     Secondly, bullies should be suspended from school, because they make fun of every student and even friends from the victims. They post funny things about them on the internet so everyone from school and outside of school can see it. These cause each student that is victim of cyberbullying to be isolated and not be able to trust anyone. According to the website (www.stopbullying.gov), the signs of a student that is isolated are sudden loss of friends, avoidance of social situations, feelings of helplessness, and difficulty sleeping. Teachers and parents should be informed about these effects in students. If parents see their child with any of these behaviors, they have to help them right away before it gets worse.
     The third problem is when bullies cyberbully their victims that it may lead to make them to get ti the point of thinking about suicide. These innocent teenagers feel that it is the only way to avoid cyberbullying. According to the website (www.afsp.org), many students that are victims of cyberbullying will try to commit suicide, because they are feeling depression, and loss of interest in life; also they feel completely pressured by their peers. Victims of bullying are two to nine times more likely to consider committing suicide. Those students that are bullying other students should be suspended and sent to a psychologist until they no longer bully students at their schools. Also the parents of those students should be sent to a psychologist, because most of the time students see their parents arguing or fighting all the time, The don't show their children the love that they need, because they are busy arguing and fighting. The most important this is they do not spend time with their children. They are too busy with their work of things they have to get done before it is late.
      Cyberbullying has been causing teenagers to isolate and be depressed. When a person is feeling depress, it can cause teenagers to think about suicide. Adults, teachers, and parents can stop this problem. They can stop cyberbullying by having more communication with the students. If someone sees a teenager sad or lonely and is victim of cyberbullying, do not stay there and be quite. Speak up for those innocent teenagers, because they don't want to to be in that nightmare. We can make the change by knowing the bullies that are making the student's lives not worth it. We can make the change; we can stop cyberbullying.
