Alcohol user get hook and become alcoholics. Once you've reached that point theres no coming back its is nearly impossible to stop drinking after you've started. These people do they understand the harm they are doing to there body how this is completley affecting their life and later on may actually kill them. Its like a downward spiral and results are death or serious illness. Its extremley to sad that someone would have to revolve their life arround getting that one last drink feeling out of control its sad and not at all atractive in any way. People change under the influence of alcohol and say and do things they will regret in the morning and maybe won't even remember. The legal drinking age is 21 however most teens start drinking at the age of 14. Many teen lives have also been ended by drinking and driving. So basically why drink all it does it hurt you in the long run one way of another. Heres the answer to those question.

         A word from the abusers;of coarse unknown sources. one unknown source said, she started drinking alcohol when she was 12, the reason she started drinking was because there was easy access to it,and the alcohol brings you to a different thinking level which allows you to relax and be free of worry as well as have a good time with your peers. Sounds like shes put alot of thourght into that answer didn't it. Another sources says she started drink when she was 12 also. Her reason for starting was because she knew it was wrong, and curiousity.  When asked if she plans to drink as much as she does now when she is older she said "of course."  A regular weekend for this teen is 15 to 20 beers. You'd think it would burn a whole in her pocket wouldn't you, but according to her its her mothers money that pays for it was no sweat of off her back. I asked her what her parents would do if they found out that she was consuming alcohol to this level and she answered "my mom already does, i've come home drunk so much she knows, she doesn't agree but she has no say."

              Contradicting Views;


My second story is Mike Tyson.

  Interview... My mother. Guy Friend.. a promoter.
 

        Mike Tysons a Legend. From being Champion and kicking some butt to biting peoples ears off and attacking people in Public. People say he's amazing a real fighter. Those people must have gotten hit in the head too many times...Like mike. The public has a controversey. Some people say he should be jailed because he's crasy and out of control, Others think its all part of the game and he should carry on boxing.

        I interviewed Christine Higginbotham who is a nurse and works with Elderly people. She said she thinks Mike Tysons a bad influence and gives the kids a bad influence. "He is suposed to be a role model, and have people look up t o him and he is spending his time biting people and attacking people, Personally i wouldn't ever go see one of his fights just because he needs to realise he's getting paid alot of money not  to act like a jackass."

        I also interviewed Thomas Fawehimi, a male highschool student. He says "Its all a part of the game people who don't want to watch violence like that shouldn't be watching boxing in the first place." He was getting very upset huffing and puffing like he couldn't belieave anyone would not like this kind of fighting."There are things that are related to sports like football and Tackling, with boxing its agressivness and anger. Mike Tyson shows thes qualities and shouldn't be punished for having them and using them to his advantage. He is a very good fighter has won title after title  and people look up to him for his acomplishments. And if parents don'think he is that good of a role model for the kids to look at, well most kids that are too young to understand it isn't right don't watch boxing in the first place."

        People go about situations in complete different ways and handle things different. Mike tyson has a temper which is nothing to be tampered with, In the ring its a good thing but outside im not so sure. However who are we to say whats right and wrong for a person to do its a free country isn't it .. Or is it..  People now adays look at sports competitors with great envy and wish to be like them but not that many watch Boxing for parents to be concerned they should have different things to worry about than what super stars are doing. Mike tyson gets paid alot to be that aggressive that determined and that mean. Im sure every single person would be the same if he or she got paid as much money to act that way.  You need to concider things from a different point of view and understand that people deal with differnt issues
