exposure to germs.

Students are not allowed to chew gum in my class. While some students think that I am just being mean,
there are many good reasons for this rule. First, some irresponsible students make messes with their gum. They may
leave it on the bottoms of desks, drop it on the floor, or put it on other people’s property. Another reason why I don’t
allow students to chew gum is because it is a distraction. When they are allowed to chew gum, students are more
worried about having it, popping it, chewing it, and snapping it then they are in listening, writing, reading, and
learning. This is why I don’t allow students to chew gum in my class.

It seems like there has been a surge in teen pregnancies these days. Teen pregnancies make it very difficult for
young mothers to pursue their dreams and meet the demands of an infant. Fortunately, most teen pregnancies can
be easily prevented by using birth control; however, even birth control is not 100% effective. The most effective way
to prevent teen pregnancies is abstinence, which is 100% effective.

Just as Peanuts seems to have absorbed so much of the popular culture which preceded it, the
comic strip has had a profound influence on the society and culture of its own time. Peanuts affects and inspires
our daily lives, and not simply because we can open our daily newspapers and find it there without fail (for over
14,000 days now without interruption—one of the few certainties in a world beset by unsettling
changes). Peanuts has become an integral part of the history of American culture through its influence in so
many areas of our life and society.
