i totally agree bullys come in every shape and from. not only kids get bullied but adults do to. Stand up for yourself. I got bullied as a child and I have learned to stand up for myself. I think when it comes to children getting bullied parents have every right to get involved, schools do not do enough to help children.

DRUGS!!!!!
Drugs have been used for many years and by the nineteenth century; laudanum and opium were freely available at any English pharmacy or grocery store and was used for medicinal purposes. Now Movies such as Train Spotting and From Hell show the effects of drugs.
A discussion in lecture was held on whether or not drugs should be legalised. My views in the lecture were that drugs should be a personal choice and would be a lot safer to use if they were to be legalised. However I continued thinking from my own personal perspective having never used drugs. However drugs could cause a dangerous environment, as people using drugs are very unpredictable. Therefore this changed my view as legalising drugs would cause a massive moral panic and put peoples lives in danger. I still however do not think drugs are bad, but I think the effects of drugs are extremely bad.

bad comedians
a bad comedian is a person who makes racial, cultural, or religious jokes. Comedians that use a racial jokes are often seen as highly offensive, and it is this type of comedian that receive criticism. Perosnallly I think a jokes a joke and people shouldn’t take it so serioulsy. Bad comedians use the stage to voice their own racial and social ideologies. But bad jokes can be found anywhere these days, for exmaple family guy, and south park are always making offensive jokes. But they are just jokes.

Can bad guys be good guys?
Call them outlaws, gangsters, crooks, gunslingers, desperados, or any other name, they are still famous for the deeds they did that changed the course of history.
Bandits will always be around and men will always want to be them and women will always want to be with them. Don’t get me wrong I’m not talking about murders etc I’m talking about the good looking, intelligent thief who’s naughty but nice!!!

Body Modification
While growing up, my parents always said that tattoos were bad. However all four of my grandparents have tattoos. My Grandad had a naked lady on his arm, and he was very proud of it (bless).
Tattoos can range from every shape and size imaginable as long as it can fit on the human body. The process of getting a tattoo can be quite painful, as you have your skin pricked many times and injected with ink to form whatever image you want it to. The decision to get a tattoo however is not something to take lightly, but I can't wait to get one!!!
The practice of tattooing has been around for as long as mankind. People have considered tattooing as a vulgar act and a way to mark slaves and criminals. Despite these criticisms and opinions on body modification, to some ancient cultures like the “Maori” it is a way of life. They use tattooing as a rite of passage, to tell the person's position in life, his or her rank and parentage, their marriage status, what line of work they were in, and their 'mana' or power bestowed by the gods.
Tattoo's are a art form and will remain popular as they allow people to express themselves freely.

Kids
Kids (1995) was an amazing movie, even though I found it most uncomfortable to watch, it opened my eyes. Kids showed the harsh reality of life, and tackled some major issues concerning kids. However I still have to say that children are the reasonability of their parents, and shouldn’t be allowed to run wild. There is no need for children to be sexual active and children learn by example.
What happened to children just being children is there no innocence anymore? This movie is very controversial but I recommend people to watch it, because the lessons learned are endless. I liked the documentary style of the film, however I know the film shows reality but I don’t think it has been made for educational purposes, I would say the film is extremely voyeuristic and has been made for entertainment.

Smoking
Tobacco smoking is inhalation of smoke from burned leaves. Tobacco use dates back to 2000BC. However Medical research has determined that smoking can lead to many health problems, such as lung cancer, and heart disease. Tobacco smoking kills, but despite the warning labels on cigarette packets, people still continue to smoke.Tobacco is so dangerous to the health however the government do not care, as they make millions of pounds from selling it, why stop daft people smoking!!!! So keep spending your money on an endless addiction if you want, it keeps the tax off everything else. I say thank god for the smoking ban!

Infidelity
Infidelity has been around for years, the forming of couples was present as far back as the icemen, and "cheating" came hand in hand!!!
Now days search infidelity on google and you get 4,840,000 results with the first page holding an add called "looking for an affair?"
Infidelity is so common Brad did it to Jen and President Cliton cheated with Monica!!! ;)
So is anyone really bothered about it? I've been cheated on myself and its not nice!!!
However does that really stop anyone for doing it back? I think infidelity is closely related to lust, and the thrill of doing something that you shouldn't be doing! I hear that infidelity is natural and we can't help it!!!
Studies using genetic testing shows that even the most apparently devoted of partners often go in search of the sexual company of strangers.
So is it natural or is it a game? If someone cheats on you should you cheat on them back? Or is it once cheater always a cheater!!!
Friends episode where Ross has cheated! Enjoyed!!!!!!
