Well I'm back!!

I've been busy with many things such as: building a solar boat, adding to my YouTube channel, and also doing great in school but always in the back of my head remembered this blog and what is life without one? I enjoyed doing this so why not stop by and just talk.

Sorry for the lack of blogging

It has been so long but I have been moving around. A quick note is that I will blog more soon.

How to Survive My Friends

photo by nataliej

You have to be something else to be able to handle my friends. We are all very different but at the same time so similar it’s completely uncanny. The five steps to surviving my friends are: Be as weird as possible, Say I love you a lot, participate in “Hair Time”, Do Not I repeat Not touch their possessions, and sit at your correct spot at the specific table.

Step 1: Be as weird as possible

If you aren’t weird you wouldn’t be able to tolerate my friends. You have to some type of weirdness whether it’s the way you act or even the faces you make you need to be weird. How else do you think we would get along like normal people, but what it normal any way some make believe thing for by society to change the ay people are. We don’t change our weirdness we are just plain weird, I honestly wouldn’t have it any other way. Like this one time we were in science class and I walk over and the next thing I know I’m in the middle of a random foot date… please don’t ask but I mean who else but my friends would do that. 
Step 2: Say I love you a lot 
I love you is like a form of hello to us we litterally say it that often. If you don't say I love you in our group you are at risk of being shunned. Seriously we say it in unnecessary amounts it's kind of ridiculous. I don't know what i would do if I love you wasn't also like a safety word to us, we always say that when a joke goes too far. I love you  has save some of my greatest friendships.
 Step 3: "Hair Time" Participation
Once my friend Becky was sad so my other friend Jenifer walked up to her and she was all Hair Time while petting Becky's head.This has become a popular thing in our group. And you know what its pretty awesome. If you don't participate you will suffer from no hair time-itus its a serious issue that effects   everybody but us. But you can fix this by participating in "Hair Time". 
Step 4: Sit at Your Correct Table Seat 
If in fact you don't sit at your correct spot you will get pushed off of that spot and possibly fracture your tailbone. I have my spot becky has hers and so does jennifer with the ocasional turnip and if  you dont eat your food turnip will eat it. So make sure you sit in your correct assigned seat. 
Step 5: Do Not Touch Any of Their Possessions 
If you were thinking of taking Becky's ball you were sadly mistaken my friend , because nobody is aloud to touch her basketball. Your not aloud to touch Becky's ball Jennifer's keys or with out permission and my phone or any of our  inhalers. We are very protective over these specific items because they mean our lives. If any one does happen to touch them they bet that they may leave with a bruise and its mainly because some of these items saved our lives. If i dint have my phone i would never be able to call for emergencies, If Jennifer didn't have her keys she wouldn't be able to get in her house sometimes, and if Becky didn't have her basketball she would have a heart attack. And if  we didn't  have our inhalers we would die of no air in our lungs so you can imagine how much that specific item means to us. I would keep in mind the fact that we are most likely all stronger than you so just remember that when you try and touch any of our things. 

How to Survive A Brother Close to Your Age

 Knock Knock Knock, you here on the bathroom door. "Hurry up" says a nagging voice. Knock Knock. "Why can't you brush your teeth later?" This is your morning routine when you have a brother close to your age. Having a brother close to your age will probably mean you guys want and need the same things at the same time. Luckily I know how to survive though all this.

Photo by  Jason Pratt

First off you need to have power over him.
Second he needs discipline. When my brother messes with me I just squirt him with a spay bottle. Hey it works so don't judge me.
Third you have to control him.
Fourth don't be to ruff unless it is necessary.
Fifth he just needs straight up love. Love is always the best way to go if all else fails.

---------------------
Aim here

From Baltic to Boardwalk you have to know what to buy from start.Not just important properties but also buy some sacrifices. Me, I like railroads and browns cause they are cheap and easy to upgrade. Railroads collect them all get 200$ every time. Know good spaces to maneuver around the areas.

Make your Move

Start the dice roll and make sure to plan ahead. As in know how to spend wisely do not spend like a mad man or you will get easily bankrupted. Make sure you focus on the good properties and don't make mistakes.

Make Good Deals

Deals are an important way to get what you want without over spending. When make a deal make sure you don't make a deal which will cause suicide. A few however as in giving someone the last of the railroad or giving up park place and boardwalk. Just make sure to try not to get stuck in a hole.

Go To Jail

Jail is known to be a bad thing but in monopoly when things start to get risky stay in the slammer. Just don't do this in real life.

Now that your educated go play some monopoly and try not to get hurt.

How to Survive a Road Trip

Photo by: Jezlyn26

It's the summer and everybody is going on vacation. Whether you're going someplace exciting or someplace you don't want to go, it's all about how you get there. Flying, riding a train, and probably one of the most dreaded, a road trip.

I've only been on a road trip once and from my experience, I can tell you for sure that I never want to go on another one again. I was squished the whole time we stopped about 15 times to go pee and we should have been able to complete the trip in maybe 4 hours but it took us 7 hours because of car malfunctions. But don't back out of a road trip just yet, because if you make sure all of these tips are completed you might actually have lots of fun!

Use the bathroom before you leave
I cannot stress this enough!! It is not only for you, it is also for the people you are going with. You absolutely, 100% need to check that EVERYONE has gone to the restroom before you get on the road. I promise if you don't you will have to make countless bathroom trips along the way, and most of the restrooms along the way probably won't be very clean, which is super gross(especially on the way to Vegas).

Bring Entertainment
Unless you have super entertaining people going with you, bring something to keep yourself occupied. You will be so happy when you bring something with you to keep yourself entertained, road trips can get really boring and the more bored you are the longer the trip seems

Check out Interesting Sights Along the Way
A couple of days before your road trip try and find some interesting sights along the way to stop at so your not in the car the whole time. On the other hand, if you're just trying to get there and not stop along the way, try and find some cool things that are around the place you're staying too. After all, you don't want to lie around the hotel all day doing nothing.

Make Sure You Won't be Squished in the Car the Whole Way There
To avoid being squished between two people and just all around being uncomfortable, try to have "Switching Parties". "Switching Parties" are another word for relief. When you stop to use the restroom or just to get out of the car, everyone needs to switch seats in the car, this way everyone is happy, and most importantly not squished.

Have Fun
Yes, honestly road trips are definitely not something particularly fun, but you have to make it fun. Start funny conversations that everyone can relate to, be friendly and talkative(but not too talkative), nobody likes someone who is grumpy the whole time!

Road trips can be a horrible or a good memory to look back on, but it's up to you how it turns out. Just because you have one bad road trip doesn't mean you have to be miserable the whole time, because if you're miserable then everybody else will be miserable too and the whole trip will be ruined! So have fun on your road trips!

How to Survive Hide and Seek Outdoors With Others

You are pretending to be a ninja, they have selected someone to try and capture you. You know you must not get caught no matter what, and you will take desperate measures.

This IS Hide and Seek

The five steps listed below will teach you, and hopefully prepare you on what to do if you ever fall into this situation. Be aware that I am an experienced played with much knowledge so the following information should help those in need.


Hiding Spot
If you are to survive in this game, your hiding spot will be one of your most important tools. A hiding spot must be somewhere where no one expects it, this will make it tougher for the seeker to find you. Always try hiding somewhere where you can see the seeker but he can not see you, this will let you know where he/she is so you will know where to run if they have found you. It is also important to try and stay as quiet as possible because you never know where they might be. This leads to the next step, running away, if you are found.

Escaping/Losing the Seeker
If you somehow manage to be caught then you either did not think your plan out well enough or you underestimated the seeker. If you are running away you should never look back because you never know how close the seeker might be behind you waiting for a moment to strike. Another good thing to do is  to look ahead and see if you can make some sort of quick turn or another unexpected turn to slow down the chaser. If this is not possible then your only other option is to try and outrun the chaser and hope he gives up on you. If he/she does give up on you then the next step will prepare you on what to do.

Sneaking Around
So what now? you have no hiding spot because you were found and you are tired because you were being chased. The best thing you can do is sneak around carefully and quietly like a ninja on stealth mode and hope not to be found again. Be sure you do NOT run because your footsteps will be heard which can put you in danger. Also keep in mind to be listening carefully to your surroundings.My advice after a while of sneaking around would be to find another hiding spot like the same as before (somewhere no one expects and a place where you can see everything). Remember you are sneaking around so be prepared to run at any moment just in case.

Your Advantages
Depending on the kind of person you are and your outside skills you will have different advantages in the game. Advantages can take place in every of the past three paragraphs. You might be a real ninja which makes you good at hiding, a member of the track team for being good at running, or a laser tag expert which makes your skills at being sneaky better than the others playing. You might also be short and be able to fit in small places or be tall and be able to jump over things easily. One skill you can teach yourself is "parkour" which will make you unreachable and very good at escaping.

Common SenseAlways have in mind that there might be others around the neighborhoodso try not to bother them by going into their bushes. If you do not respect other's property you just might have an old man telling you to get off his lawn. Also remember to be careful and not try anything dangerous because then you will just end up crying for mommy to kiss your boo boo. Lastly I want to advice the public also not to set your phones on vibrate or silence so the seeker will not hear it and come after you.

These are the all the things you need to know on becoming a good hide and seek player. Also remember to be a good ninja and do whatever it takes to not get caught, no matter what.

How to survive a camp full of GIRLS!

       First of all if you are a guy as soon as you realize that there is only girls there run you little butt home as soon as possible. Just saying you don't want to be around a group of outrages, crazy girls.

STICK TO ONE PERSON

• Stick to one normal person that doesn't scream just for fun
• Hang around someone that doesn't like hanging around whack jobs
• I stick to my best friend that is in my church most of the time because she is not that insane 
• Try to make friends just only get close to one and one only!!!
• Try not to scare them away if you one of the insane people that like to yell and say random thing at random times
• Just remember to go to the most normal person to hang out with or you mine as well go home when your safe

HOW CRAZY YOU SHOULD BE TO FIT IN

• Well most of you know me how insane I am, that is more of the normal type at camp (I'M THE ONE WHO WROTE ON RANDOMNESS)
• So you need some weirdness to you 
• At of a scale from 1 to 10 you would have to be a 6 or 7 at least because they are like a 12 or 13 and yes that makes sense 
• Just don't hang around them to often because they will get to you and you will be at crazy numbers 12 or 13
• Try to stay with in a fairly normal rate so you don't go insane
• Over all just try to have fun because it is not that bad when you realize how much fun your having

NEVER START SINGING JUSTIN "BEAVER"

• Don't sing Justin"Beaver" because they will be screaming their heads off or they will be trying  to kill you because they hate him 
• A little tip don't ever sing that in front of me because I might just rip your head to pieces 
• Don't wear a Justin "Beaver" shirt either they might kill you for it 
• You know what don't even mention him or think about him because is swear they can read your mind!!!
• Try to avoid any thing Justin "Beaver", don't comment on his awesome boyfriend jacket just nothing Justin "Beaver"

BE RANDOM 

• Be outstandingly random when you are at a girls camp but not to bad or they will think your weird when they are the weird ones
• I would say to say at least 3 random things a day. Like if you are talking about the clouds or some thing then just be like "I LIKE ICE CREAM"
• Oh and if you say that you like ice cream they might bring it to you that is what has happened to me be for
• The girls often like to talk about ponies so that is a good topic to bring up randomly
• What ever you do don't bring up any guys you like because they most likely will kill you for him or tease you about him for the rest of the week
• Don't talk about sports either because they might shun you for just saying the word sport

GO HIDE YOUR SELF

• If your not a peoples person then this is what you need to do you can hide your self in a tree, in a corner, in the bathroom, or in a car
• When you hide in a tree you are very exposed and if any one sees you there they will talk to you for hours and you will be most likely stuck in the tree
• I have grown to hiding in a corner because it is a very blind spot so when some one comes in you cabin they don't see you
• Everyone needs to go to the bathroom at one point so if you in there you will most likely be seen by everyone so it is not the best hiding spot for everyone
• I love hiding in my moms car because she doesn't go in there all week and no body thinks to look there and then you can also lock your self in there
• Oh and if you find your self crying in one of these spots it is completely normal for a person that is not insane 

HAVE LOTS OF ENERGY

• You have to have a lot of energy because you won't be able to keep up with them the hole week
• You will be exhausted during your free time you will try to sleep but you won't be able to because everyone around you has the energy you don't and will be like hey want to do this hey want to do that 
• To keep up your energy with everyone else I would say eat as much as you can that will be your life saver and don't stop eating when you are full just keep stuffing your self 
• An other thing is sleep when they tell you to because you won't be able to get up in the morning 
• If you go to a camp like the one I did then you get up at 5o'clock and you do exercise and then you go eat breakfast then you do more exercising go on a hike to a lake canoe and then have lunch 
• So try to keep that energy up and try not to cry every day, you will be more happy that way

If you go to and all girls camp good luck and i really hope those guys that some how end up even seeing a girls camp run for your life please!!! The best tip to give you is don't ever go to an all girls camp.

How to Survive Middle School

Middle school, a hard place for any kid. To survive these two or three years of your life you must follow these steps: follow the school rules, don't get into trouble, make friends, stay out of peer drama like fights or break ups, and do your school work. Follow these steps and you'll survive junior high.

You survive middle school by following the rules and not getting in trouble. These steps are important because they keep you from getting suspended, therefore actually letting you go to middle school. Surviving middle school means getting through it without too many regrets or bruises. So don't get in trouble and ruin your chances of getting into high school.

Two of the most important middle school survive skills are staying out of other people's problems and making friends to make middle school barable. Middle school drama can be the worse, it causes most of the problems in school besides gossip. To survive middle school without too many problems, is to stay out of people's business, it'll save you from getting in trouble or getting beat up. Everyone has to have friends. Someone to talk to and be there to help you. Having friends make middle school more worth it and not boring. Don't be shy, make friends, they're good to have. Survive middle school!

 The last step to surviving middle school is to do your school work. Most important because you can't leave middle school without passing 7th and 8th grade. You must survive middle school by doing all your school work. Survive!

Group Work is Legendary!!!! [No Lie!]

picture by : sparklefish        

               Group work is amazing, but i completely get that it has its flaws. Like the fact that there's always one person who does nothing, and someone who wants to take control of the whole project, and there is always a me in the group some one who does their part of the work and has it done on time and  asks a few questions along the way. How ever the fact that you don't have to do all of the work by yourself is the best, I love it. It has its ups and downs but its still pretty amazing.

      I had this one experience where we had to draw a bunch of pictures and it was very difficult and at the end we actually had fun doing something for history. As you can see in the picture above group work has a lot of pieces to put together and there are way more pieces to put together and half of them don't work but you have to think about the fact that you dont have to do all of the work alone.

     I like to work with groups better than by myself it helps certain people to work together and its a great skill for the work place. and it's even better for the students now a days. This is why i think group work is amazing. It has so many resources and its also good for lazy people who don't want to do all of the for themselves.

Propaganda

Title: The Poisonous Mushroom

Description of the Propaganda

In this piece of propaganda it shows a woman with her three children looking at a statue of Jesus on the cross. It says in German next to the picture that, it urges the children "When you see a cross, then think of the horrible murder by the Jews on Golgatha."

Message to the People

The message of this is to tell the people that Jews are the reason Jesus died.

Technique 1

Simple. Its targeted at children, who love Jesus. Well the Jews killed Jesus so we don't like them. Right? No.

Technique 2

BIG. They killed Jesus. Murdered him. Stuck nails in him. That is a pretty big thing to deal with.

There has been a lot of debate going around if the drinking age should be lowered or if it should stay the same. I believe it should be kept at the age of twenty one. It has done anything bad for anyone.

It shouldn't be lowered because keeping the drinking age at 21 has saved lives and hasn't done any anything wrong by keeping it this way. So why change it?

Photo By: anee.baba

Photo By: anee.baba

The main reason I agree with this side of the debate is because in the article it stated that"the national highway traffic safety  administration estimates that raising the drinking age to 21 saves about 800 lives a year." Why would you want to lower it and have those lives lost? Imagine if that was your life that was taken, or a friend or family members life. Why take those lives away if they could be saved? Some may think 800 lives is not a lot, but it's not something you could care less about like squashing a bug, it's somebodies life.

Some people say it should be lowered because there is no evidence that it harms them intellectually or behaviorally. Okay that might be true but, what about their health and body? So many people have died, and almost bled to death, from drinking to much because their throat has burned out. And it does effect you behaviorally because when your drunk you don't have control over your senses and you will misbehave. What if you get in a car crash? Yeah that's what I thought, you didn't mention that did you. 
If we lower the drinking there will be much havoc among society. Keeping the drinking age at 21 has saved lives and it could save you too.

Group Work

Is group work good or bad? It can actually be both depending on who is in your group. Based on my group work expirences, I think working in a group is mostly bad with only two good thing about it.

Group work is bad because you have to depend on other people to get their part of the job done. I admitt that if you have good responsible partners, group work would be ok. But from my own expirence working with a group, my patners did not do their part and the whole project got a bad grade. After that I really just wanted to work on my own.

Working in a group is also bad because you could get stuck with all the work while your group members get credit for your work. It just makes me mad when people just sit there and expect you to do all the work for them. Group work can really suck when you end up with all the work.

The only good things about group work is having a hard working, supportive group that will do the work right and take things seriously. Only then is group work benifial.

Group work is also good when your group copperates with each other and gets along. If a group can't decide on anything, the whole project is ruined.

Group work has both is good and its bad sides.

The Dooms of Group Work

Photo by: EU Social

People say that working in groups can be a fun way to socialize and split up the work on difficult projects. Yeah right. This only happens when you have the perfect group of people. Which never happens by the way. The perfect group would be people who split up the work evenly, and each do quality work, not just something put together last minute.

The reason I hate group work so mush is because when I was in elementary school I had a teacher who absolutely adored group work. I was like if you didn't want to work in a group it was the end of the world for her. This wasn't my favorite teacher, I can tell you that. I preferred to work by myself, and I still do, so every time we had a project it was, "Okay everyone find a project partner!" While I stood in the back of the room and looked around, and when asked who my partner was I would just give a simple one-worded reply like "Myself." She just stared at me like I had some sort of flesh eating disease. Eventually at the end of the year, she gave in and I finally got to work on a project by myself.

 I also despise group work because, when I did have to work with someone else they either never did it or it was really crappy work. So, I ended up turning in a lot of half done projects that year, but I did still get a good grade because I would always rat out the other person out of anger.

I've never really had a good experience with group work, well maybe a few were pretty good, so maybe I am a little biased, but all I know is that I DESPISE GROUP WORK!!!

GROUP WORK? AWESOME!!!!!!!

   I love group work! Group work is something that everyone should like because it is just easier on everyone. This makes the work get broken up in to sections so that there is not as much work for you to do. If you don't do it in a group then you have to do even more work then you were going to do. When you do it this way you can always put it off on some one else unless there is no one responsible in your group the you have to do it your self but that is not hard. I completely disagree with anybody that thinks that group work is terrible. When you have group work then you will have some one there to help you when you are stuck on some thing and it doesn't count as cheating.

    Group work is just bomb!!! You get things done a lot faster and you don't have to do as much. You also get to make new friends. I had a hard time with one of my friends in elementary school and I got pared up with one of them and now we are all okay with each other. So I got my friend back and we got an awesome grade!!!;) IT IS ALL ABOUT GROUP WORK!!!!

 BY: SEAN MAC ENTEE

Group Work? No!

Many people today say that group work is a good thing but I,like others,think i is not a very good way to accomplish tasks.There are some benefits to working in groups but I think there are more reasons not to. Some of these reasons include the people in the groups themselves and their differences.

The first problem that I have with group work is that sometimes only one person does the work.This can be very irritating mostly because if you do all the work the other people in your group get the same credit for doing almost nothing.

The second reason is that sometimes you can not concentrate when you are trying to work.If the people around you are talking and being disruptive it can be really difficult to get some work done especially if you get into whats going on.

Lastly if your partners ARE working and doing something you may not agree with what they have to say.There is usually about only one or two disagreements but when you can not agree with anything it becomes frustrating  and  you feel like you just want to work alone.

These are the three main reasons why I believe that group work is not a good idea and that it should not be used.An example of someone who does not like group work is here.

Should we Lower the Drinking Age?

Photo by: Scott Ableman

Many people argue weather or not the drinking age should be lowered to18 or kept at 21. Some people think that the drinking age needs to be lowered to 18. This would increase the alcohol consumption of youth greatly and put more drunk drivers on the road. Others argue that 21 is a good, solid age for a drinking limit,and we need to leave it at 21. Keeping the age as is would save many lives, and keep our roads safe from the dangers of a drunk driver.

In my opinion, we need to keep the drinking age at 21. The reason I think this is because when the drinking age is at 21, alcohol consumption of youth drops drastically in comparison to when the age is 18. Another reason we need to keep the age at 21 is because it saves lives, about 800 a year! Most people would say that 800 people isn't a lot considering the number of people in the world, but that is somebody's life, and I feel that everybody's life is of value to this planet.

Now, some people who want to lower the drinking age would say that if we teach kids at a young age, like is European countries, to drink within their limit their limits then the drinking age is not a problem. Yes, some kids do learn to drink within their limits and they almost never get drunk, but if you look at the statistics most European countries have a very high rate of 15 and 16-year-olds almost always over-drinking, and in some bad cases they become addicted to alcohol.

If we lower the drinking age, innocent people could die and our society will be full of drunks if we loose control. I hope in the future we will keep the drinking age the same and learn quickly as a society if we do try and lower it.

The Drinking Should Age Stay the Same

photo by : neatlysliced

Some younger people are suggesting that the drinking age is too high, but I think it is perfectly fine. If in fact teenagers start to do start to drink well that is a stupid idea because they are basically ruining their lives. It's pretty much a fact that anyone who tries alcohol by 14 becomes addicted in some way just like any other drugs. I've heard all kinds of stories about teenagers driving to pick up their friends because they don't want to die while driving drunk, but most of the time they drive with out thinking and harm someone else or worse kill themselves.

In the opinion of a kid who has friends the age of some alcohol related deaths, I don't think i want them out there drinking and driving even though most of them wouldn't it's still scary to think that could have been them out there. If in fact they do lower the drinking age well there will be more and more accidents out there. Can you imagine that ... it would be astonishing if any one came home alive. How do you think the free ways and streets would end up, there would have to be a police officer at every corner just to make sure people got home ... and then they would all get D.U.I's. If you want to let teens to go out i completely understand, but if they do end up drinking its a terrible outcome. Injuries, both physically(both internally and externally) and mentally it leads to some of the worst.

I also don't think that teens should be out drinking like that in general... but that's just my opinion. I've see adults in my family drink and adults in general but they are at least the correct age of 21. No teens even if they're legally adults should be drinking. They all go to these parties and if its raised well teens can then go into bars, with a license to drink. Some guy who was stupid enough to think that they should lower the drinking age in general now says if we do lower it well make them go get an education on drinking and get a license to drink. The idiot who will remain nameless should have never thought of that idea... don't lower it in the first place, and who said that you could only take the class if we lower it why can't there be a class now?! Who said that we can't have classes now. Some people may want to learn about alcohol, there is technically no age limit.

So i say let the drinking age stay the same how much could it hurt. And those teens who drink alcohol illegally well then they're just as stupid as the license... but in all fairness it was an idea of a way to keep teens from drinking they're brain cells away. So an announcement to all of you teen drivers and those of you who drink too... just call a friend or don't, it's stupid and meaningless, whats the point of hurling and waking up with a "Temporary Amnesia". The drinking age should stay the same!!

Group Work is a Very Good Idea (no sarcasm included)

The world has many problems and most of them need to be solved by working together.
Imagine if our four fathers in U.S. History did not work in a group the United States would not have been born. Of course they might have argued once or twice maybe a little blood splatter but they got it done.All I'm saying is that everyone has to commit group work. If it did not exsist there would be no communties. Also the best ideas were created with a group thought.

The problem is with group work is the members. Most complain that the members of the group do not do the work. But they have decided to work together. Finally everyone should aggree on a related topic so everyone can have a part. Group work is a great thing only people don't try to actually work together.

LOWER THE DRINKING AGE!? NOOOO!!!!

    Some people believe that they should lower the age, but it would be better to keep it where it is. They are trying to change something that doesn't need to be changed. Even arguing this right now is wasting time lowering it wont change much. They want to educate people about the dangers of drinking, this is true but do you need to change the age to educate people,this way they don't need a permit. They should keep the age where it is at, 21.

     If you lower the age of drinking there will be more underage drinking. The 18 year old that underage drinks now will get what they want and wont be caught. They will also want their 16 and 17 year old friends to join in so they will be underage drinkers then we will lower the law again then the 16 year old will have a friend that is 14 or 15 years old. The 16 year old will want his friend to drink with him and there will be more underage drinking and this process will go on and on.

     An other thing is that there will be more drinking and driving!!!!! Did you know that when the law of you having to be 21 years of age was passed it saved 800 lives a year??? If you lower the age to 18 years of age the people that wont be doing under age drinking will be drunk driving. This is something that kills peoples lives, WAKE UP PEOPLE, one of my friends had died by drinking and driving and we all regret that night.

    The yes on lowering the age of drinking are pretty stupid!!!!! Dr. David J. Hanson said,"The DARE [drug abuse resistance education]program, for instance, which is use in about 70% of the schools in the country, is basically a scar tactic. There has not been a single scientific study of effects of DARE..." Well if it doesn't work very well then why do so many schools us it. Also it doesn't need any scientific study to prove that it work if it work then it work if it doesn't then it doesn't!!!!!! The drinking age should stay at the age of 21!!!!!
