Speak Statement One

Whatever happens at a party should stay at a party. I agree with that statement because it would just be better if no one said what happened at the teenage party.  There are many reasons that what happens at a party should stay at a party because first off it should be no one else’s concern what had happened at that party . It really is just common courtesy to keep quiet about what had happened at the party, because it will just cause drama if you say something, it will also be never ending once everyone found out you said something.

One reason I believe that what happens at a party should stay at a party is because, if something bad had happened at the party you wouldn’t want administration to find out because there will be consequences for who was ever at the party.  If everyone knew someone had said something about what happened, and if it got to administration no one would trust you.  No one would trust you because they will just think your two faced and they will end up calling you a snitch because you can’t keep quiet.                                                       Most teens that go to a party and something bad happens panic and hope that no one will find out because they know what the consequences will be because they were at the party.

The next reason why I agree with this statement is because if someone’s boyfriend or girlfriend had hooked up with another person behind their back, it would be better for the person that they were dating not to find out so they don’t get hurt or get mad at the person that there boyfriend or girlfriend had hooked up with behind their back.  If someone told someone about that it would defiantly cause tension in the relationship and they could possibly break up.  Also even if that person hooked up with someone else it just could have been a mistake because they could have been under the influence and they could not control themselves and they didn’t know what they were doing at the time.  So it wouldn’t be right to say something to their girlfriend or boyfriend because it could have been a mistake.  That boyfriend or girlfriend would also tell their boyfriend or girlfriend what had happened and that it was a total misunderstanding.

The last reason why I believe that this statement is true is because sometimes it’s just better if there was no talk about what had happened at the party.  It’s not really a big deal what happens at the party unless you’re involved with the story.  The reason why I say this is because at a high school party people are just having a good time with every grade and everyone is getting along so why ruin that by starting drama? If people were starting drama you shouldn’t care and just let it slide right by you because it just turns into a big deal that it shouldn’t turn into.

Value Essay

Priceless or Expense?

What do people value now-a-days? Do they value the things they buy or something that means the most to them without paying a penny for it? The definition of valuable these days is everyone’s belongings instead of the priceless values in their life.

My cell phone, laptop and iPod are my most expensive values but they are the values that I couldn't live without. If teenagers didn't have a cell phone they would be lost in society. Cell phones, laptops, and iPod’s have taken over a teenager’s life. Many teenagers including myself feel like we would never last without our gadgets that communicate with all the latest drama and gossip. To me these three values mean the most to me because they are the only things that motivate me to do good in school, if I don't do good in school then I lose all these wonderful things.

Let’s start with the cell phone, I would have to say that my cell phone does not leave my side; I guess you can say it’s glued to me.  My Memere always says “what would you do without that cell phone of yours?” my reply every time is “I really have no clue.” If I didn't have my cell phone I wouldn't know what I would do I could not imagine myself without my phone. My phone has all my important pictures and so much more, if I lost everything in my phone, I would be devastated.

My lap top is important to me also, it holds all my school work and important files. If I lost all my school work that I do on my lap top then I would get a zero on the paper that I need to hand in. My lap top is important for a bunch of other things to including storing of all my pictures, allows me to do research just to name a few. Another reason my laptop is so valuable to me is because I do a majority of my essays, projects, and research for my homework. In addition, my lap top is valuable because instead of using the family computer I can just use my own, that’s what is great about having your own lap top to yourself.

Lastly my iPod, it holds all my songs, pictures, and games that I like to play. My iPod is so important to me because, I run a lot and I can’t deal with running without any music, it pumps me up and makes me go faster. My iPod gives me entertainment when I’m bored. It’s also small and it can go everywhere I go just like my phone does. Also my iPod is worth a lot so I really can’t afford to lose it. Many of these things are great and valuable but yet you need to pay for these wonderful values, unlike your family.

My family is priceless yet valuable to me because I would not be where I am today if I didn't have them. Sometimes I do not understand my family and wished they never existed but in the end of the day they are just looking out for me and making sure I make the right decisions and that is really the most valuable and priceless part of my life that I have. My family is my motivation to always keep my head up because I'll always have them when I need them the most. If I were to only have one valuable thing in my life it would be my family. I don't always need to have my electronics to make me happy because they will eventually brake and become useless, but if I have my family they will always find a way to keep me happy.
