1.

I disagree that Teens should stay loyal to their parents no matter what because their parents
could be gaslighters, toxic, and or criminals. An example of this is if your parents murdered
someone or in some hot water. If your parents want you to help cover up the murder, should
you? If your parents want you to join in on their shady stuff, should you remain loyal? Nope, you
should remain loyal to your parents.

2.

I disagree that the punishment for murder should be Death because you can’t stop death with
more death. An example of why this is bad is Clarence Darrow’s defense in the Leopold and
Loeb trial. Leopold and Loeb murdered 14 yr old Bobby franks and Clarence Darrow fought
against the death penalty. His argument was summarized that Killing 2 boys would not bring
back bobby nor stop the pain of his parents and the cycle of violence would never stop. The
verdict was the 2 men would be locked away, So basically Darrow did the impossible and
explained why the death penalty is bad. I f you want to look deeper into the case LegalEagle
made a video on the case.
3.

I believe that Love is blind because you can’t really see someone’s flaws when you’re in love. If
Character A starts to have a crush on Character B then Character A will ignore the flaws or some
red flags. This backs up my argument because Character A is Ignoring Character B’s flaw/red
flags and Is Wearing rose-tinted glasses. Many people end in bad relations because they ignored
the red flags presented to them. That’s why I believe Love is blind, love can tell a million stories.

4.

I don’t think Suicide is an honorable way to die because killing yourself is no way good nor
honorable. Honorable is deserving of respect and suicide is not deserving of respect, especially
in Romeo and Juliet, it is sad and harmful. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet fake dies to avoid marriage
when Romeo finds out he kills himself then Juliet kills herself. Killing yourself in the way Juliet
and Romeo did is both terrible and unnecessary. That’s why killing yourself is not deserving of
such high respect.

5.

I disagree that true love means never having to say you’re sorry because you should apologize
for what you did even if you’re in love. If Character C gets Character D sick or accidentally hurts
Character C should apologize instead of just not. If Character C Doesn’t apologize it’s pretty
mean or rude. That’s why you should say sorry, so you won’t be rude and avoid
miscommunication, even if you are truly in love.
