The step-up celebration yesterday was really interesting. I think that the best part was the 80’s dance. There were a few boring parts.Even thought none of our pictures were presented in the slide show it was still nice. The mayor was funny.

Obesity VS Body Image- Obesity and Body Image are two different subjects. They both are also very important and play a huge role in the lives of the youth today. I think that they both make up the community we live in.

Alcohol Prevention- I think that alcohol prevention is very important because I know that alcohol plays a huge role in the in the destruction of families. I also think that it is wrong to drink because it can kill you.

Tobacco/Drug Prevention- We learned about tobacco and how it messes up your system. It can cause a lot of different diseases. It can also cause a quick death or a slow and painful death. If your a woman then can cause your baby to have genetic defects.

Love/Relationships- Love is an intense feeling of affection. Love is precious and should be handled with care. There are many different kinds of love.

HIV/AIDS/STD’s- HIV in the virus that causes AIDS. There isn’t a a cure for it yet. It can be prevented by using condoms, not sharing needles, spermicide, etc.

Beauty- I think that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder is a saying that means beauty is different for everyone.

Community Maps- We did a map of North Minneapolis. We only showed all of the major locations like parks and stores.Then we made another one and showed things that we would like to have in our neighborhood.

Target Field-We took a tour of the target field they showed us everything from the field to the stands to the announcers seats.

Canoe/Movie- We went to Lake Calhoun we only stayed for about hour until we had to leave because it was going to rain, So we went to the movie’s and saw zookeeper.It was a really funny movie and I like it a lot.

HIV/AIDS is an acronym for Human immunodeficiency virus /Acquired immune deficiency syndrome. More than 1 million people in the United States currently are living with HIV/AIDS, and more than half a million people have died of AIDS since the U.S. epidemic began in 1981, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. HIV/AIDS attacks the body’s immune system and is most often contracted through sexual contact. HIV/AIDS can also be passed to another person through contact with blood or body fluids, such as through blood transfusions, sharing needles contaminated with HIV, and during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

A smart person doesn’t do drugs

Be smarter live longer

Call a hotline to get help

Don’t smoke and live a long life

Expect the worst when your on Drugs

Freedom to breathe, Don’t Smoke

Give us a chance to live, don’t spread second hand smoke

Healthy is the way to go, STOP SMOKING!

If you can’t stop smoking, cancer will.

Just say to yourself, “But I don’t smoke anymore”

Kissing a smoker is like licking an ashtray.

Live it or burn it

Make your choices it’s your life

No smoke no life, but No life with smoke.

O

Put it out before it puts you out

Quit smoking before smoking quits you.

Remember that if you do light up, the next urge to smoke comes much sooner, more often, and more intensely.

Smoking? you must be joking…

Too much smoke will leave you broke

You smoke, you die early, you save the government money.

Peer pressure is when your peers pressure you into doing something. It can be good or bad but you might not want to do it. One way to avoid peer pressure is to surround yourself with good friends. People who won’t try and make you do things you don’t want to. Another way to avoid peer pressure is to just say no. Whisper no, say no, shout no, or scream no.
