Poverty

The movie with we watched this week really has had me thinking. I've been thinking about how good we all acutally have it here. We dont live paycheck to paycheck and we get buy food whenever we are hungry. Morgan Spurlock (i think thats his last name..) and his girlfriend's experience has really opened my eyes. The past couple days I've been concentrating less on the matieral things I have. Ive really thought about how lucky I am to have 5 computers in my house, when many dont even have one.

Also, our discussion about drugs was very interesting. I do agree with Sal on his frustration on not understanding why weathly middle class teenagers feel the need to do drugs. We have everything. I myself have never even thought about ever doing/trying a drug or even smoking. I think its all very stupid and pointless. I think the students at Stevenson who use drugs are just wasting their parents money that they have worked for and using it because they are selfish and want the high.
