I found this website on the War on Drugs in America, It's a article that is meant to inform us of the growing and decreasing of Drugs in our society. It gives good statistics on whats happening around us. It lets us know that the government is considering greater measures to contain the problem. It tells us that the use of illegal drugs is going down, but is still is high compared to other countries.

Saving the oceans is a informative article, I love the ocean so its a topic I'd be interested in writing about. The article states that the worlds oceans are in danger from overfishing and the pollution thats being dumped into the water everyday. With continuous research scientists are finding that many of the large predator fish are going missing. They go into detail about how the run off of the wetlands are causing alot of problems. They also have the statistics of if we dont change things we could have serious and irreversible problems. They also make a point in letting us know that were not running out of fish and even though thats not a problem it doesn't mean the fish are perfectly fine. They live in the water that were polluting.


Worsnop, R. L. (1991, June 14). Teenage suicide. CQ Researcher, 1, 369-392. Retrieved September 6, 2007, from CQ Researcher Online, http://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/cqresrre1991061400.

I've always wondered what is the deciding factor for why kids will commit suicide. I've never quite understood what drives them to hurt not just themselves but those around them. This website goes into detail about some causing factors and the percent rate of teenage kids try or succeed in suicide. There are many reasons why people come to this and the website gives examples of what can cause this. Most attempts are unsuccessful but some are. Websites gives users precaution measures for those who want to be successful, and thought these websites should be baned... who's to argue the freedom of speech. The article gives examples of some warning signs that could help prevent an attempt. It also informs the reader on things that can help reduce the rate of teenage suicide.
