My work with AMA was a learning experience i got to try new databases.We also got to work with new forms of presentations such as brochures, post cards. We have been covering multiple topics that are impacting the youth in our city as well as many other places.We have covered alcohol which effects not only adults but teens as well . The things we have covered has been big issues effecting our youth as well as our country.

Last weeks topic “healthy” Is a important  issue that needs to be addressed. Todays generation is the most unhealthy due to all the easy ways to escape healthy nutrious foods. There is such a high demand of fast food by the kids that the parents allow it to become a daily thing in the childs life. Exercise has been  neglected by the children because of the stress that comes along with it . The parents do not encourage the child to get out and get the suggested 60 minutes per day of exercise. There needs to be a balance within the daily meal and the daily exercise.

About 50% of adults in prison are there due to meth usage. The cost of keeping all the adults in prison is costing the state 50 million dollars a year. Meth is commonly used daily because there is such a high demand of if due to the craving of the drug addicts. There is such a high demand of it that people will do anything to smuggle it in such as in their urethra, Anus. Meth is commonly used through glass pipes snorted, swallowed, or inserted into the anus or urethra. The pipe method is mostly used because the drug has such a long lasting effect on the body sometimes last up to twelve hours.

Methamphetamine has many reasons for the use of it lots of it is linked to depression. Many people just want to have the adrenaline high. Meth also causes you to have a high pleasure craving. When the meth enters the body it goes down the main tube where it later block the neuron transmitters. After it blocks the transporters, which receives and departs messages from the brain. As the dophamine which is the pleasure cell is trapped due to the blocking of the transporters. The more you do meth the longer it will take you to get the high that you want therefore you will do more meth until you are nearly lifeless.

The way the media comes across when it comes to alcohol is a very strong message as well as a persuacion. When a alcohol commercial comes on Tv such as a vodka,bacardi,jose cuervo, the message that comes across is bascially if your are not drinking this particular alcohol you are not exculsive also your not as. Alcohol has affected 16percent of sophomore 24 percent of senior and 8 percent of kids in middle school. The way I live above the influence is to think of the consequenses of what will happen in the long run as well as what will happen if I get caught. From my point of view I believe that if the alcohol level was lowered it would create lots of issues within the community because it is already hard enough to keep teens away from alcohol that would create lots of issues.
