Substance Abuse from Ten Year Olds

Lately the news has been covering teenagers and their drug exploits. Teenagers these days are turning to drugs to pass time. Salvia, acid, marijuana and ecstasy are the picks from the street, kids as young as grade six are experimenting with drugs and sometimes getting hooked on their addictive effects. Everyone's getting angry at the fact that young children are assuming these bad pastimes. I think the real issue should be why? Why are kids as young as ten years old trying to get high. How are kids able to get their hands on these drugs. People are getting angry at the fact that their kids are turning to drugs but ignoring the evidence that answer the question why.

Tiger Woods Ruins People Lives

I was watching a talk show and the contraversial topic was Tiger Woods. After their conversation they opened the phone lines and a man called. He was angry at Tiger and started yelling; he was yelling about Tiger being the reason him and his wife were divorcing. Tiger's exposed infidelity led the mans wife to check his cellphone text messages where she found his mistress' number along with a slew of rauchy messages. She immediately called her lawyer after a confrontation and filed for divorce. I felt sorry for the wife and then sorry for the guy. He told the talk show host that he was going to break off the relationship with the other woman really soon but then his wife found the messages. Then I got really angry at myself and realized I was really stupid for falling for his lies and hoped for both Elin and the other mans wife to take all of their husbands money and leave them. Men these days can be real jerks and we don't seem to realize it until someone famous is affected. I could only immagine those words coming out of Tigers mouth as Elin swings a golf club at him in the car.

Teenagers Driving

I was talking to some friends and decided that I may be taking the TTC for the rest of my life, or at least till 35 or so. Firstly, studying to become a driver is a world class juggling act for teenagers, from school to part time jobs, extra curricular activities and their social lives it is impossible to balance everything while studying to become a driver. Secondly, insurance is RIDICULOUS, I'd never be able to pay it off even with a full time job. Lastly, we dream about our amazing Audi R8's while were stuck with our stupid honda fits and our parents mini vans. Even when we get our liscense we don't get any freedom instead were asked to drive our grandmothers to doctors appointments and siblings to school. So next time you look down on a teenager remember we got it harder than it looks.

Fashionably Stupid

In a recent edition of Vouge, the high fashion magazine feature a set of pictures with accesories by Alexander McQueen, Fendi and Burberry. But the designer names were not the focus of the picture, rather the models; some of India's poorest and most destitude. This juxtaposition was cruel and takes advantage of indian minorities by posing them with high fashioned accesories (the burberry umbrella and fendi bib). This new brand positioning campaign and maketing scheme doesn't look very effective and should stay in high-fashion.
