Journal 18

Angry Letter Idea

I have been in a situation where my mom and I felt discriminated in Louis Vuitton. We went into the store one day not wearing anything dressy clothes, just casual attire; it was just shopping. And when my mom asked for help about this one bag, the workers didn't bother to help my mom and ignored her leaving my mom hurt and confused.
Everybody is aware that this popular brand is very high class and expensive. But that doesn't mean that ONLY rich people are allowed to be treated with respect in that store. That store is opened up to everybody who shops there no matter what race or how you look.

Pro/Con Rough Draft

Corrales, Daphne-Jayne
November 8, 2009: Period 4

Raves and Clubbing
Rough Draft

As teens grow through life and take their own paths of choices, teens basically just want to have fun and live their teenage life to the fullest. Aside from school, sports and family, all teens love to hang out with their friends and “let loose”. That’s when raves and clubs come into play. These sites are one of the top hang out spots on late friday nights or weekends. This is where teens make the wrong decisions at ravse and clubs because the atmosphere held there.

If its either stress from school or problems with family, teens believe that raves and clubs are the best places to go to get their negative minds off of these things. Drugs and drinking lingers throughout the place coping whatever reasoning the teens are there for especially with their friends and peer pressure.
Because there are always drugs and drinking at raves and clubs, there are much causes to why this is a bad choice for teens. Pills such ecstasy, drugs like meth and pot, and strong drinking causes the mind of every teen who sets contact with it to go blank. Drinking and driving causing death, raping, suicide and other mind killing situations takes place when these things are exposed.

“Peace, love, unity, and respect” is the saying that brings the teens back to raves and clubs every single time. Teens meet new people and just being there is happy for everybody because raves and clubs is where teens get together and have fun.
Different various kinds of teens come through the doors of raves and clubs no matter what. There are teens from every sexuality and genders which causes everyone to mingle and meet new people to have fun with. With roaring techno music, teens dance in a sexual manner because its “sexy”. Because the site is full of body heat, teens plan to wear less clothing to keep cool and to also attract guys to their body. Hardly knowing a person in just one night and being attracted to them cause teens to get emotional about a person which leads to one night stands, rapes, date rapes and pregnancy; things that could live with a teen for life.

I believe that its very important to have fun in your teenage years. But acting responsibly and making wise choices is where the actual fun is.

Revised Thesis, Con & Pros

Thesis:
"Teens make wrong decisions at raves and clubs because the atmosphere held there."

Con:
Teens believe that going to raves and clubs help get all their negative thoughts out of their minds because there are drugs and drinking that also believe helps cope their stress and make them feel good along with thier friends. Also going to raves strengths the "unity and peace" among teens making them meet new people and fun dancing.

Pro One:
There are always drugs and drinking at all raves and clubs. This causes them to get high which leads them to do inappropriate things such as rape, drinking and driving, suicide, and other mind killing situations. Also since these events last all night and early mornings drinking and taking drugs are constant.

Pro Two:
Raves and clubs are full of all kinds of teens from both males and females from all kinds of sexuality. Because the atmosphere is dark and very hot from body heat, teens decide to wear less clothing when dancing. This is much cool for them and also dancing in a sexual matter allows them to meet new people. This causes date rapes, sex (one night stands), and even pregnancy.
