April 10, Issues

Today you have a substitute. I know that you will be extra respectful while I am away. Look on the board if you are unsure what to do. When I asked you what you wanted to talk about in the blog you said that you wanted to talk about issues that effect teens. How do you decide whether to use tobacco or not? Do your parents influence this choice? Do your peers influence this choice? Does any of the health information you are given throughout your education influence this choice?

		My friends influence my choices but not by alot. I usually choose what things I do or not depending on how I feel about the topic.

		My parents sometimes influence my decision because of the trouble I might get in. My friends influence me most and I think health doesn't effect me because I'm not a chain smoker or anything.

		I do me, nobody influences me, i decide whats best for me, my friends can try to influence me to smoke all they want, but its not going to work

		Nobody would influence a choice like that, you would influence that upon yourself. Tobacco is bad for your health.

		I think the biggest thing that influences teens to not use tobacco is parental disapproval.

		I think that it depends who you are around, they are the ones who influence you the most.

		i think the people who you are around most influence you.

		I think using tobacco is disgusting. No one really influences me, I make my own choices. Even if I was around people who used tobacco all the time I wouldn't.

		I dont smoke because it bothers me. If i did i probably would get in trouble from my parents.

		My decisions are influenced mostly by my parents. Secondly they are influence by the rest of my family and friends.

		I think that both your friends and family affect your choice to smoke and drink. Some of my family members drink and smoke. I dont like the way they act when they are under the influence so I stay away from it.

		I use to smoke and after about my month I started loosing my voice so i quit and haven't smoked but a few cigarettes a month now. I still have trouble laughing a lot without my throat beginning to hurt.

		I do not smoke. I think my parents influence this because since they do not smoke I feel that I shouldn't either.
