2-Social Issues
My 2 main social issues are: Suicide and Teenage Pregnancy.

Suicide Resources:Why did I choose this resources? The answer will be because they are informative-gives lots of information/statistics about my topic and it gives me the answer to some of the questions I've had. It also shares stories about real people in life who have gone through this problem and have recovered, also it gives you good tips about how to help a friend. http://www.healthyplace.com/depression/suicide/suicide-facts-suicide-statistics/menu-id-68/ - http://kidshealth.org/teen/your_mind/mental_health/suicide.html#


Teen Pregnancy: The resources that I found on Teenage Pregnancy were good and revealing, us as the United States have the highest number of Teen Pregnancy. It showed me lots of data that I needed to know. It talked to me about real life stories that would probably help people .

Yahoo Kids-Social and Political Issues

These are some game topic websites that I found on

http://kids.yahoo.com/directory/Around-the-World/Social-and-Political-Issues

1.The reason why I am interested in this Social Issue is because some of my family siblings have passed through Child Abuse and don't want that to happen to others, after it has happened in my life I just want to spread the word and prevent it from happening to others.


http://www.childhelpusa.org/



2.The reason why I decided to choose this link was because I want everybody to be friends with everyone, doesn't matter how diverse they are, all that suppose to matter is the inside not the outside. http://www.cisv.org/



3. Reason: Why was I interested in this website is because there's girls out there who have no mother and are being raised with their father, they think that their father isn't a good father but they are wrong. Sometimes fathers are the best for raising kids. http://www.thedadman.com/index.php


4. Reason:I did this because, kids around the world feel like they aren't worth anything, they think that just because tey can't draw they are nothing, but no it doens't work like that everybody is good at something. They should go ahead and do something for the're own
selves.http://www.dosomething.org/


Wiki-Social Issues


The 4 Social Issues that I am Interested in are: Suicide, Teenage Pregnancy, Child Sexual Abuse and last Girl's Health Issues.




The reason why I am interested in Suicide is because: I want to know why do people all around the world commit suicide. I kind of know the main reason why they commit suicide, but I just want to know what are the main problems why they do it. I want to stop people form committing suicide and letting them know that they are not alone and that if they have a problem bothering them they can do something about it, suicide isn't the end to a problem.




The reason why I am interested in Teenage Pregnancy is because I hate seeing young girls/teenagers having kids/being pregnant, all I want to do is stop them from doing that. Imagine all schools having the majority of girls being pregnant, isn't that awful. I can help stop this by educating teenagers or young people why are the reasons that they shouldn't get pregnant at a very young age, tell them the consequences that could happen.




The reason why I am interested in Child Sexual Abuse is because I feel bad for kids who are out there in the world and aren't treated respectfully, so I want to stop all sex offenders and violators from doing what they have done or are doing, they need to know that they need to treat a kid at its age not as something else. Some of my family members have been through this and it hurts me a lot and I would love to help spread the word to help stop this.




The reason why I am interested in Girl's Health Issues is because there are thousandths of women and young ladies who are sick from many different types of Illness and they need help, So all I want to do is help them recover from being sick. I want them to know that they are not alone they can still recover.

Al Gore
An Inconvenient Truth
1. My thoughts about this documentary were that it is inspiring because it gives all the problems that Global Warming is causing Earth, that way people who've watched this will know what they can do to help overcome Global Warming and go Green.

2.What I think about Global Warming is that it is affecting us as Earth and we need to do something about it before it hurts us more, when it comes to that we could die or the planet could be in danger/damage. I'm not sure if Global Warming really exists because some people say that it doesn't exist and It gets me confused, if it does exist then I really wonder why it happens.

3. The information that I heard makes me feel sad, scared and helpful the reason why I feel sad is because knowing what's happening to the world can hurt us and not know what to do! it also makes me feel helpful because we can start saving the Earth with everyone giving the Planet a helpful hand by that I mean that you can start using less light, energy and stop pollution.

4.What we can do to prevent ultimate destruction is by helping the Earth, we can start helping by cleaning up trash from Highways/Streets and using less Energy could help, turning off Lights whenever you don't need them, and last for all just help us keep Earth clean.

Science Games Links


Playing Energyville was awesome and enthusiastic, I learned some ways to add Power and Energy to our Community. Some of the ways to add Energy to our Community are: having Solar Panels, Windmills, Saving Energy and mostly not wasting a lot of it.


The other games that I played were very fun, some of them asked me questions about Science so I would know how much I know about it and then if I didn't know that much of Science then I would have to play a game to review Science after that I would take another quiz and my grade would be better this time. I learned a lot playing this games, It gave me enthusiasm to do something better for my Community and help out the world.




These are the links for the games I have played-
