Stress Is Evil

Introduction

I'm pretty sure that most people have heard that being stressed out is bad for you. Well, it can also be dangerous! Higher blood pressure, headaches, the list goes on and on. Having a schedule that allows only a small amount of free time with family and friends can also impact relationships. No time to spend time together eventually makes bonds disappear. If you want to find the story of stress, read on. 

Opinion

Just, don't get stressed. It is usually something you control. If you can, clear time in your schedule to relax. If don't relax  in the place where you work, you can be given the "gift" of higher chance of getting heart attacks, disorders, etc. Who wants that? No one. So, why be stressed can you can find a balance of work and free time. Not trying to mange stress can even grant you mental and/or bodily predicaments.(heart disease, infections, sickness, etc.) Why risk it? It's better to figure out why you're stressed and find a way to lessen it. Don't just let it drag on. Ignoring problems doesn't make them magically go away. It, most of the time, just makes them worse.

Conclusion

Stress is a horrible, inescapable, vile thing. Everyone's lives would be better without it. Fortunately, there are ways to beat it. So, what are your views on stress? Answer in the comments section below.

Books, Books, Books

Introduction

      Books, books, and more books! They are awesome! I love how you learn new things from them. I love how they capture my attention. I love everything about them! Books and all kinds of writings have been around since history started. They were used to record history, for entertainment, information etc. Without books, we would all be lost. If the past was forgotten, we wouldn't be able to really do anything. Most people forgot about the past, but books will always be here.
 

Opinion

Books are tons important. If we replaced all of our books with e-books, it would be chaos. Sure, e-books are more friendly to the environment, but technology isn't the most reliable thing. I have had a nook for a year, and I'm still trying to figure it out. Also, what if the battery runs out? Books don't need batteries or electricity. E-books and technology do. I'm pretty sure books are better. 


Final Thoughts

Books are the most awesome thing in the world. No matter how much technology is made, no matter how many years pass by, books are here to stay. What do you think of books? Answer in the comments below.

What is the Matter with Pollution!?

Introduction

Oil spills, smoke from factories, and litter. These are all forms of pollution. Not only does it effect us, but the animals too. Thousands of water birds can fly because of oil spills. They also die because trash suffocates them. We can't eat fish due to the amounts of mercury. Even the ozone layer is thinning. The thing is, it is our fault that this is happening. It is us that are killing the environment. Sometimes, without even knowing it


Opinion

Pollution is wrong. Seriously, why would anyone want to destroy the place they love. Why would anyone want to destroy their home? Pollution also kills. On dosomething.org it states,"Pollution is one of the biggest global killers, affecting over 100 million people. That’s comparable to global diseases like malaria and HIV." It is bad enough that pollution destroys everything, but it's even worse that we also get killed by our own actions. Have you ever heard about pollution in our water? The thing is, there is only so much we can drink. However, it can harm us,too. Livescience.com states"Worldwide, more than 500 million people drink water that could be harmful to their health." Surprising,right? Even though we need water to live, it can hurt us.

Final Thoughts

I hate pollution. I just don't believe it is right. Killing ourselves and other things is not cool. What do you think? Answer this in the comments below.

Happiness, What About It?

Introduction

This picture shows happiness, is rare. It really is but eventually, you will be
able to find it.
I choose the topic of happiness because I find happiness interesting. I mean, what is really happiness? What is it caused by? These questions rang through my head for days, but still no answer. But the reason for all this was pure curiosity. This topic is very important to me because I want to find what makes me happiest before I die. I actually think that everyone is looking for happiness. I wonder, what else is there to happiness?  To find out, read on.





Opinion 

My opinion of happiness is that it is a warm, bubbly feeling that you feel inside yourself. However, there are many ways of describing it. Some people may just feel giddy or have a smile on their face.(without knowing) There are also benefits to being so happy. Huffingtontonpost.com states,"Could a positive outlook be the key to a healthier ticker? Maybe so, according to a 2012 scientific review published in the journal Psychological Bulletin."    I knew that being happy was good for you, but I had no idea it could even help your heart. Happiness also can not be bought. Davidweedmark.com states,"Money does not buy happiness. After having your basic material needs met, additional money does not have any impact on your levels of happiness." This, as many know, is quite true. Once you have everything that you need, buying more stuff will not make you happier.

Final Words

Overall, I am pretty happy with what I found. With all the information gathered, I might just be able to answer some questions on my mind. So, what makes you happy? Answer in the comments below
