1.Well. i read an article about a real life drama"SHE FOUND THE STRENGHT" , this case talks about when a college student smashed his head on a mountain rock,his girlfriend had to do the impossible.It made me think on why are we in this world.Many people especially teenagers live as it was the last day, i agree, but i think that we have to act accoding to some rules or maybe first think on the consequences of our action.According to the mayas on 2012 is going to be the end of the world, but we believe in that ,just because someone said that? No, because if we ask our parents about this i am sure that they will said that we shouldn`t belive in that and we need to do all that we want but thinking in our families .
