Q: I already asked this but didn’t really tell the whole story plus I need more opinions!?
I’m 17 and a junior in high school, I’ve been with this really sweet, great guy for 2 yrs. I love him to death!!! He wants to get married after we graduate, but I’m not too sure. Well, he’s not the brightest guy I know, and he doesn’t have a plan for his life, but he has a BIG heart! Well, he kinda wants to be a boxer or on WWE, his dad was a famous boxer!! My mom tells me to move on, because he has all these medical problems like high blood pressure and cholesterol (he’s only 17!), to name a few. Plus he has a bad family background, his father an alcoholic and a drug user (same with his mom); his father was abusive to him and his family. Don’t get me wrong mine isn’t great either! I was sexually abused by my father when I was 6 and my father was sent to prison for embezzlement, and got to watch the IRS take ALL my stuff away, and then living dirt poor. But he is determined not to become his father. I just want to get out of that scene! Jeff ( my bf) also isn’t very confident and it’s tiring when I keep on having to raise his confidence up again. It can be very stressful. He rarely gets mad, but when he does, he’ll storm out and tear up something, just so he won’t take it out on me! Other than that he is very gentle and adores me. I love him with all my heart. My friends always call us the married couple, same with people we don’t even know! And all our teachers and family say that we’re ganna get married someday. If we do get married its probably ganna be after I get my Radiology degree. And another thing I can’t stand his sister and she doesn’t like me either!! I’ve tried to get along with her, but it’s a lost cause, is that a bad thing?? Other than that I love his parents! Their the best!! Since my family doesn’t have a lot, they tend to take me shopping for clothes, on occasion. Jeff is the greatest thing that has happened to me in a long time!! I can’t really imagine my life without him. I’m just not ready for marriage and I don’t know haw to tell him. He doesn’t believe in himself at all, I try to help him but it doesn’t work either!! I just don’t want to set myself up for a harder life. What should I do???

A: Hi imaqt, wow i just read your story/question and i just wanted to say what a geat person you are. To go through all that in life and care so much about others and go on and do your agree is really admirable. In relation to your question i just think you are very young at 17 to be worrying about all this kinda of stuff, you’ve had enough of that already in your life it seems. I really think you should give it a go with your boyfriend, but I dont think you should get married until you are well into your 20’s and fully sure of a future with this man of yours. Your life is only beginning. I understand what you mean when you say you dont want to set yourself up for a hard life again especially if this boyfriend is maybe more a dreamer than an actual breadwinner. You have to think of you. I do think you should carry on with your relationship because you obviously do love him but rule the marriage out. Just tell him you want to wait a few more years, tell him its not that you dont love him but life is only starting for you both now. Your truly a great person, good luck – From Sunny

Q: Can someone please read this argument essay and tell me how to improve it?(10 points)?
Smoking should be banned in England completely!

Our country can be an unpleasant and dirty place to live. No matter where you go, you always come across someone smoking which is a dangerous, dirty and expensive habit ,which has no positive effects. I will discuss why I strongly believe smoking should be banned in England and why we should take action now.

My three main arguments against smoking are that smokers are ruining their own health, that it is bad for non-smokers’ health and thirdly, our health services have to pay vast amounts on stop smoking sevieces.

The first problem with smoking is that it is damaging smokers’ health and taking away their lives. Smoking has so many negative effects including lung and heart disease, circulation and respiratory problems and asthma. Each year England has 364,000 patients admitted to NHS hospitals due to smoking related illnesses. One of the main health problems with smoking is cancer and Cancer Research claims that 114,000 people are dying each year due to smoking related diseases. Pregnant woman who smoke are also running a big risk of damaging their babies’ health; the poisonous chemicals go into the baby’s blood and this can result in a miscarriage, low birth weight or the baby being premature.

I get the impression that people who start smoking are not well educated or just do not care about their own health, which is a cause for concern. However I know a person who has an asthmatic daughter and is well educated, but despite having a daughter who is more prone to health problems, she still chooses to smoke around her, which I think is appalling.

Secondly it just isn’t right that non-smokers are having to inhale other people’s smoke. Scientists have proven that passive smoking is extremely dangerous to non- smokers as the smoker only inhales 15% of the smoke and the people around them inhale all the rest. Passive smoking can cause serious health problems especially for those with allergies, heart or lung disease and for children and babies. An example of just how dangerous passive smoking can be, is the entertainer, Roy castle; he was a non – smoker but through working in bars and clubs for many years he inhaled a lot of smoke and was diagnosed with lung cancer which killed him. Just the other day I was on my way to college and outside my local train station, there was a group of smokers there. I had no choice but to inhale their dirty smoke. Ruining your own health is one thing but damaging non – smokers health is just unacceptable.

And the final problem with smoking is that it is expensive. The National Health Service is already in a terrible financial situation and they are having to give away millions of pounds?, not even knowing it will have any effect. The NHS spends on average £1m each day, £7m each week and between £1.4bn to £1.7bn each year on stop smoking services. Furthermore, smokers on average are spending at least £1500 on cigarettes every year. Some smokers on low incomes sacrifice their daily essentials such as food in order to buy cigarettes and that is very sad to know that some people have to go to those extremes to carry on smoking.

Amy, you might want to say a line about why people smoke – to help them relax etc – although you conclude that the cost to their health, and their wallet, is too high??
When cigarette adverts began in 1911, smoking had a positive image because people did not know how harmful it was. Famous people were shown in films smoking, which made smoking very popular. However, even today it can be ‘cool’ to smoke and even if the young people know about the bad effects of smoking, they think they are invincible and ignore the warnings.

Many young people get into smoking as a result of peer pressure and this is a huge problem which needs to be tackled, especially as smoking is so addictive, and many people find it incredibly hard to quit.

In July 2007 I was very pleased to find out about the smoking ban as more people gave up smoking and enclosed public places became more pleasant to be in. However it still wasn’t enough to make everyone quit which is why we should ban it in England completely. Before banning it completely though, we should ban smoking in all public places including the streets as then smokers would have no choice but to smoke in their own homes. This would be bound to make a huge number of smokers choose to quit, as most responsible adults do not want to smoke near their children. It is not right at all that children have to be around people smoking at home because as well as it damaging their health, having smokers around them all the time is bound to encourage them to smoke and is an on going problem. I think all Schools throughout England should have ’Stop Smoking’ services available as this would increase the number of young people choosing to quit dramatically. I also think that if stop smoking adverts were more emotional and showed the effects on children
, smokers would take quitting smoking much more seriously. The adverts should show ill children as this is very emotional and could make smokers realize that they are responsible for any health risks in their family.

I have come to the conclusion that smoking doesn’t have any positive effects and is just making health matters worse. If we don’t do anything about this now, more and more people will die from smoking and this will carry on forever which would be very disappointing. When cigarette adverts began in 1911, smoking had a positive image because people did not know how harmful it was. Famous people were shown in films smoking which made smoking very popular. However, even today it can be ‘cool’ to smoke and even if the young people know about the bad effects of smoking, they think they are invincible and ignore the warnings.

So I urge people to come forward and start an anti-smoking campaign – Together we can ban smoking in England!

its all messed up:( please help:(

A: I think you are so far doing a wonderful job and your paper is very informative but when making an arguement it is best to base off fact and not of your personal feelings. Saying that your impression is that it isnt right that a non smoker has to inhale a smokers smoke can easily be denounced. Why does a non smoker get to choose the “rights” of smoker. Are we not entitled to the same “rights”?’

I like your ending i think its your ending so I urge people to come forward blah blah.. Do you really think banning smoking will solve your problems? I already know it will not. I don’t know about England’s laws but here in America drugs are illegal but they are still being used. Bad or good…healthy or clean… you can not stop a human from doing what it wants.

A great way to improve your paper is to find someone to play the other role of the smoker and actually debate it and then include their thoughts into the paper so that way you denounce them before any one can debate your argument. Which will give your paper a more accurate stance and make it stronger.

Hope this helps!!
