<p>I’m not “glamorizing” smoking. I’m drawing a conclusion as to “why” people might partake in a detrimental habit as such. If you read my statement correctly, you would see that I am criticizing the habit as opposed to supporting it. In life, teenagers, such as myself, are going to be faced with peer pressure situations and I think it is healthy for students in college to experience them. Students need to face problems independently as opposed to having their “proud parents” shelter them from this world of peer pressure and tell them not to. Once your kid goes to college, your control is lost over that individual. I can say that because I had the patience to save up for college financially without my parents help. It is THEIR experience and when they come across an issue such as smoking, THEY have to be able to stand up for themselves and say “no” without their parents help.</p>
<p>Oh, regarding the “period” comment, this is a BLOG not an English class. I can write in a messy manner, a fast manner, I can make mispellings… I can do what ever I want. In reality, I have great grammer and writing skills ( I got a 740 on my writing SAT) but I do not need to showcase that on a BLOG.</p>
