What are the pros and cons of falling in love with your best friend?

Everyone must have best friends in their lives. A best friend is someone you believe you can
trust your life with. A best friend is the first person you call when you have the most amazing
things in your life, and when you are in the most horrific incidents. But, what if you fall in
love with your best friends? If you have decided to choose your best friend as someone you
will share your life with, there is a lot to consider. Take a moment to consider the advantages
and disadvantages of taking your friendship to the next level.

Having a serious relationship with someone you’ve only been best friends until now may not
be an easy task, but the following advantages may just make taking the risk worth it. Firstly,
you have already laid the groundwork. A strong emotional bond is a strong foundation of any
successful relationship. Next, you can bypass the awkward stuff. The good news about dating
your best friend is that you can simply enjoy the excitement of taking your relationship to the
next level. Besides, you have already had a solid emotional bond and have shared history of
togetherness such as graduating from the same university together or gathering family by
your side. Having shared important moments in each other’s lives will make your connection
stronger and even more likely to last.

On the other side, dating your best friend has also some disadvantages. Before taking a
romantic relationship with your best friend, take a moment to consider the following
drawbacks. First, are you willing to make the sacrifice? What if it doesn’t last? If you break
up, you might loss your friendship forever. Second, there is always a possibility for not
having a mutual feeling between both of you. Decide in advance what your plans might be if
your friend does not reciprocate: can you continue your friendship with him/her? Could you
take it if he/she dates someone else? Third, although you’ll bypass the awkward getting-to-
know-you stage, missing out on discovering a new person, their personality and their interests
could prove to be a little boring for you.

While there are risks involved with confessing romantic feelings to your best friend, it is
worth remembering that the greatest and most successful relationships often grow from great
friendships, and it might just be the best decision you’ll ever make.

School Uniforms Policy

School uniforms are uniforms which are obligatory worn by the students in the school or any other
educational institution. School uniforms tell many things such as students' grade level and school or
institution identity. Nowadays, school uniforms become a debatable issue among parents. Some of
them think that school uniforms are necessary, while others think that they are not.

Some parents believe that school uniforms will make such good advantages to their children while
learning at school. First, school uniforms can keep students focused on their education, not their
clothes. Second, school uniforms may improve attendance and discipline. The last, school uniforms
are a symbol that every student is equal in getting same education. School uniforms will not
differentiate whether the students are rich or not and students’ economic or social class.

In other hand, school uniforms can affect negatively on students psychology and performance in
learning at school. First, school uniforms restrict students' freedom of expression.  Second, uniforms
also may have a detrimental effect on students' self-image because when students have to wear the
same outfits, rather than being allowed to select clothes that suit their body skin, they can suffer
embarrassment at school. Third, some students also find uniforms less comfortable than their regular
clothes, which may not be conducive to learning.

In conclusion, school uniforms remain important of the students’ forsakes. Students will be discipline
and will focus more on learning. School uniforms also will show them that they are equal in learning.
However, to cover all disadvantages of school uniforms, it is better if school gives a free school
uniform day to the students on certain days and with certain themes.

Pros and Cons of Smoking Bans

Smoking ban policies are implemented in some American states and cities but the contentions on
whether they are necessary and relevant are still heard from supporters and critics. Restrictions on
cigarette smoking can be traced back as early the 16th century and up to now, this issue remains to
be controversial. To get an idea on how people are taking smoking bans, here are some of the views
expressed by proponents and opponents.

Advocates for smoking bans claim that passing a policy to prohibit smoking in public places can
lessen the possibility of second-hand smoke being inhaled by non-smokers. The supporters also say
that states and cities which have non-smoking policies and prohibited smoking in restaurants and
public indoor spaces have better indoor air quality then the cities which still allow smoking public. With
restricting smoking, supporters posit that it will decrease the waste since there will be lesser cigarette
butts and lesser toxic garbage that can be stuck in water systems. It is also believed by the supporters
that it can lessen the chance of influencing others to take on the habit.

For many smokers, smoking bans is one of the government’s ways of interfering in their lifestyle. They
find this offensive because they believe that, since smoking is not a crime, the government nor
anyone else should not have a say about what they do and limit their freedom. In principle, smoking
bans aren’t effective since they will make people just avoid places with smoking bans and smoke
elsewhere rather than to quit or at least to reduce their tobacco consumption. Implementing smoking
bans also can be very difficult. There are many people and even establishments that don’t respect the
ban mainly because the penalties aren’t so stiff and won’t get offenders into too much trouble.

These are just some of the pros and cons of smoking bans. Government officials, business owners,
and ordinary citizens should weigh them carefully to decide if smoking bans are worth implementing
or not.
