NASA Test

      Will this be easy or will this be hard? NASA is paying volunteers $18k to lie in bed for 70 days. While you are on bed rest you are not a loud to get up for any reason.  They are running two different tests. One is you have to lie in bed at a six degree downward angel. The other test has to do different kinds of aerobics while in bed. They are going to have certain things to bath them and let them go to the bathroom while still lying in the bed. Some may think this is easy to lie in bed and not do anything but there are side affects to this. You would lose muscle and your bone density would start to deteriorate. It would take a little bit of time after this time for you to regain your muscle back. They are doing this test to see how they could make the astronauts time better in space so that they are comfortable.

Words Do Matter

       When will people realize the difference between right and wrong? A few days ago a 12 year old girl from Florida ended her life. She couldn't handle the bullying any longer. After many months of online terrorizing from several girls she gave up standing up for herself. All of this bullying began because of something that is not that important. The 15 girls that were bulling her gave her grief because of boyfriend issues. She finally had enough and police officers found her at an abandon power plant, they say she climbed to the top of one of the towers and jumped over the side coming to a tragic death. They later found her diary with heartbreaking entry’s about how depressed she was. Her funeral was held today. Most of the people there wore green anti-bully shirts in her honor. Parents  need to start paying attention to what their kids are doing.

E-Cigs

           E-Cigarettes are the new device now days. E-cigarettes are supposed to be a way for smokers to stop smoking less. There is no flame or fire involved it this battery powered device. The smoke that comes out of it is vapor. Using the E-Cig without nicotine really helps people stop smoking because they still get the feeling of smoking but it is not addictive. These are also easier for people to get their hands on without going through so much time and trouble. An example would be getting the nicotine patch you have to go to the doctors or pharmacy. These E-Cigs are sold in gas stations and convenient stores. The scientists and professors still have more research to do because they are unsure on the harm and effects it can do to your body. The E-Cig is not a very good thing for the reason that reports show that E-Cigs are becoming more popular to teens because it is not as harmful to you.  I think this device has its advantages and disadvantages.

Molly?

         Molly is the 'new drug' in our era. It was first heard of in songs sung by rappers. Those who sang about this drug made it sound like a fun thing to do and then it started too spared across the nation as teens were starting to try it. Then a song came out and it was called Molly.  This drug is really dangerous and harmful to the body. A lot of people started to take this drug at raves or big concerts because it would enhance their experience. It’s also really dangerous to take this drug because in most cases it’s not pure Molly, it could be mixed with difference substances which makes it a sketchy drug to be taking. The police don’t really know how to stop this because they don’t know how to tell if someone is on it. Doctors and professors only hope to making this drug use come to a minimum is to hope teens read about the side effects and the harmful state this drug puts your body in.
