they Can't help It!

Do you ever wish that you were just a little bit skinnier? Many T.V.s, radio stations, movies, and magazines use ''perfect'' people to advertise. Overweight people think that they have to look just like those ''perfect'' men and women. The overweight person knows and believes that he/she could never look that way so they get depressed and start eating and eating and eating.

Many children have been struck with obesity and others tend to make fun of them. In many communities, especially in schools, the Heath Care departments are checking the food. Many schools have had to change their food products because it is unhealthy for the children.

Obesity can be dangerous health wise and by people making fun of you. If you get extremely obese to where you have problems breathing , you...have...a...problem. The fat in your body can clog up blood cells flowing to the brain and the the heart.Now what I was saying about people making fun of you was that, my teacher told me a heartbreaking story that I will never forget. "That just goes to show you how cruel people can be,'' said my teacher after she told me the story.

Some people can be very cruel even if it is a problem that you can or can not help, other people in life will make fun of you. Don't let it get the best of you!!! Trust me, you'll be OK!!! Write back to me and tell me your feelings if you were obese.

America Votes 2004

On November 2, 2004, people who had the right to vote voted. It was a tight race between President George W. Bush and Senator John Kerry. Ralph Nader was also on the ticket in some states, but not all. He is the type of candidate that runs so that if you don’t want to vote for one man or the other, you could vote for him. Talking about same sex marriages, talking bout high taxes, and fighting toward each other all of the candidates stood tall. On November 3, 2004 Senator John Kerry made a phone call to President George Bush and said that he had won the election fair and square. President was up 2 million more votes than Senator Kerry!!!

          Also on November 3, Kerry gave his goodbye speech and gave thanks to everyone who had trust in him. Even though Ralph Nader wasn’t really popular in the election, he still ran for president anyway. President Bush and Senator Kerry were good men and even though they may have had doubts in themselves, they still ran in the race for the spot of being the president of the United States of America!!!
