Say No

1. If someone said "It's important to find out if were sexually compatible" I would tell the person that were not ready and if I really meant anything to you we would not have to have sex and if the person persisted I would break up with them.

1. The healthy characteristics of this relationship are Elvis depending on Courtney, Elvis can always count on Courtney, they save their money together and they have dated for almost 2 years.

2. The unhealthy characteristics of this relationship are Courtney is very jealous and Elvis can't talk to her about her jealous problem.

3. Sighs of trouble in this relationship are Elvis can't talk to her about her jealous problem and Elvis can't talk about past relationships or even girls that are just friends.

4. ?

5. The partner most likely to end the relationship would be Courtney because she will eventually see Elvis with some girl that she has never seen before and freak out and break up, Elvis won't because he is not independent enough to make that decision.

6. Elvis should tell someone about the problems in this relationship and then get advice about how to break up with Courtney before he is in to deep to break up with her.

Abusive Relationships

Do you think it is true that there are that many girls out there being abused?

I think that there are probably more like 1 in 10 girl get abused because they always exaggerate the statistics so people address the issue more.

Do you think that the guys that are doing the abusing need help too, or are the girls being abused bringing these problems on themselves and should recognise an unhealthy relationship ad be able to deal with it on their own?

Yes, I think that they should have to go to some sort of thing that tells them that what they are doing is bad and how to stop abusing people. I do not think that the girls being abused are the problem.

What I think about the article.

I think that abuse is a serious problem and the government or school systems should make a program for people who are being abused to teach them how to recognise and end that kind of a relationship

Fast Food

Do you think it will ever be publicly acceptable to question peoples eating habits, as it is acceptable to publicly question people who smoke, drink, or do drugs? Why or why not?

I think it will never be publicly acceptable to judge eating habits because eventually everyone will be making poor choices because it is just cheaper to make food that way.

Why is it important to educate yourself about healthy food choices?

It is important to educate yourself about healthy food choices because it is too easy nowadays to get obese with all the fast food places around the world.

What could happen to your body besides obesity?

You could get heart attacks when your older from high cholesterol, osteoporosis or high blood sugar.

How could you let someone else know about healthy choices, and where could you get this information from?

I could let someone else know about healthy choices by emailing them a link to a government site about healthy eating and tell the person its important for them to read the information on the website.
