My group and i are trying to make a difference in changing how teachers teach classes and we think that to get to learn the subject or topic better that teachers should include more hands on activities so that way people can have fun in doing what the learn and it may be a easier way to memorize the subject.

Living in a place with no one to play with

 People thinking you’re the meanest person around

People don’t know how nice you can be.

Coming out of a quiet neighborhood

Where the only house you hear is mine

Me yelling all the time

Having fun but people think of me as a mean man

Breaking things is my thing but in the end its perfectly fixed
Looking across the street you see so many little kids having fun
And when you ask to play they run
but at the end of the day they come to see that your a really nice and sweet person
that they couldent see

Moanalua High School

Honolulu, HI 96818

Dear Moanalua High School Administration,

I have been attending Moanalua high school for two years, and I am pleased with the campus being a nice environmental space, and with a nice facility to attend to.

However, I have experienced some problems in using the schools bathrooms. One thing that I have experienced was the odor that lingers through the bathrooms, M and G building bathrooms for example. The smell of the bathroom is not completely repulsive, but it is bad enough to make the bathroom experience uncomfortable. The bathroom experience that makes me want to not bother of entering is just how bad the odor affect you time in using the bathroom, and how you can used the bathroom in peace without smelling that bad odor. To my attention this has not only affects me but other people around the school campus. Therefore there is more than one problem in the bathrooms, another problem would be where there is no locks that can keep the doors shut, H building would be another example. I know that the bathrooms are cleaned twice a day but it’s not just about the toilets and urinals but they have to do something about the odor.

Things that we could do to make the bathroom and nicer and cleaner environment would be that we can some how take some money out of the school to put air fresheners in them so it can make the odor escape.

All though I don’t have enough evidence I cant explain a whole lot of things that are problems to the bathrooms, I just believe that one thing that we can do is try our best to stop the smell and the bathrooms a cleaner place.

I have no problems with the schools facilities but its just that the bathrooms are not a nice place to be at.

Risky Business

Ryan Souza Period 2   

                  There has been a case of 6 teenagers reported at the ER for the abuse of drinking hand sanitizer. Teen now days use house hold items as a drug or to get a buzz. For example drinking hand sanitizer is the same as consuming about 6oz of straight alcohol. Since drinking alcohol and smoking underage is illegal for teenagers they use household items because they are legal and is now a problem today. Now teens don’t only abuse hand sanitizer but they also abuse straight alcohol, cough syrup, inhalants, mouthwash, and sniffing spray paint.

                    First, one thing that is a con to this is that people think that this not a problem and that it is just a joke and to be cool and funny. Well they don’t realize that if you consume only 6oz of hand sanitizer that is the amount that will send you to the hospital if consumption of more than 6oz that can be a cause to death. People may think that this is not bad people are just trying to tell you it’s bad for you to no do it, well by abusing these house hold item like sniffing paint, or even drinking straight alcohol. They will cause you to have brain damage and you cells would die one by one. Also the reason why people do this is because they know that it’s not illegal and it easy to find and purchase.

                    Secondly, although there’s many ways to get a buzz, but this is a way to get a same buzz and of smoking or drinking alcohol. Therefore there are easy to find and easy to get like I said earlier kids at the sage of 12 can go and just walk into the store for example longs and just grab alcohol to clean cuts , hand sanitizer to clean hands, and cough syrup cause there sick. See there are many ways and excuses to get these items and the cashiers would never know because they think that they will use it for a good cause but when they find out that the kid was showed at the ER then they worry.

                     Lastly, why do teens use household items as another drug? Well teens use household items as a drug because they want a buzz, therefore they can’t have that availability to get cigarettes, beer, and also weed. Although they can get cheap things and get a buzz to and to top that off its not illegal to drink hand sanitizer so they do are if they ever got caught. So basically saying that if people keep on doing this then it will turn out to be illegal then kids may be cautioned about it but doesn’t mean that they would stop doing it.

                      In conclusion teens now day look to get in to mysterious thing and try different things just to fit in or maybe to look cool and think that there all bad, but at the end of the day they don’t realize that what they’re doing can cause death and  damage the brain severely. All in all abusing house hold items isn’t such a great idea unless you’re ready to give you life’s and dreams away. So just think twice before abusing household items.
