CHILDHOOD OBESITY
Childhood obesity is a condition where excess body fat negatively affect a child’s health or well being. Due to the rising prevalence of obesity in children and its many adverse health effects it is being recognized as a serious public health problem in our community today. The term overweight rather than obese is often used in children as it is less stigmatizing. This essay will describe proposed solution to the problem of childhood obesity. Finally this essay will propose the best solution and explain it benefit.
According to this article “Local Government Seek to Reduce Obesity in Kids” a new law has proposed to have teachers identify children who are obese and refer them to a counselor, who would help them come up with a good diet and perfect exercise plan. These children would be monitored and checked every four weeks for improvement. If after six months the child does not lose weight, the parents can be fined $500 hundred dollars, if the child doesn’t show significant weight lose after another six months, fines could increase to $800 hundred dollar. The states and federal government have long struggled to reduce obesity, According to the Center For Disease control and prevention C.D.C, obesity rates have more than doubled in children and quadrupled in teens during the past 30 years, Puerto rico in particular has a 30 percent childhood obesity rate while the rest of the country average a rate of about 18 percent.
Another proposal has been made by the U.S department of agriculture has approve school meal programs, but they do not regulate the nutritional content of most snack and other high calories food. The agency should modify school policy regarding food served in school during lunch, so that percentage of fat content taking will be at a minimum.
I believe that one of the best solutions to solve the issue of obesity in our community today as mention in the article, is to have obese children supervised or monitored by a therapist or counselor who will help them by providing a good diet routines and exercise plans. This diet routine will help them to regulate how to eat and adopt good eating habits. Also, the exercise plan will help guide them to exercise frequently because most children have adopted the habit of watching television all day and eating snack which is the main cause of obesity.

Academic Paragraph
In most family today, people with the most difficult lives tend to be the oldest ones in the family. Parents usually expect their oldest child to be more capable and more responsible than the younger children in terms of getting things done. The oldest child seems to have the responsibility to guide, protect and teach his or her younger siblings things that would help them grow into a better person in life and to the society at large. At times the oldest child may seem to have difficulties controlling the younger sibling which makes him upset with them. For example, am the oldest child my family. Every day i have to inform my younger sibling what to do and what not to do and that is very hard because you have to decide whether this is right or wrong in this case and at times you don't know or it is difficult to decide especially in a serious issues like s fight. Also, being in my position as the oldest child can be both attractive and difficult one because your younger sibling admire and adore you, but may in some cases desire the position to be the oldest who directs ,controls and decides what others will do or not.

Many marriage end in divorce often because love has failed but in some case that is not the problem. Some people get into marriage because of money, fame and desperation. what happens in a marriage where one married because of money is that the couple will live happily as long as the money is coming but when the money stop coming. The problem will then begin between the two especially if it was the husband that was making the money. The wife will start being disrespectful to the husband because he can't provide what she want and the real reason why she married him is gone which was money she listened to not the husband. In some case the wife may start having an affair with another rich man and if the husband finds out that she is cheating on him that can end their marriage.

DEFINITION OF FRIENDSHIP
Friendship can be defined as the condition of being friends with someone or the state of mutual trust and support between two people or nations. Friendship is very important and helpful in life. Nations have co-existed by establishing good friendship with one another over centuries. Being friends with someone takes a lot of work to build a good friendship, which relies on both parties. This essay will explain the qualities it takes to build a reliable positive friendship and what are the negative cause that ends a friendship. In life everybody wants to have a friend. Nobody wants to be alone because being alone can be scary or frustrating. But we cannot go making friends with anybody we see; there are qualities which one should look in making a friend. They comprise of loyalty, supportiveness and many more but these two are highly important. In choosing a friend one needs to carefully consider all these facts and more because it is extremely important in order to build a real friendship. Loyalty is the state of being loyal or fidelity to a friend. Real friendship is built based on loyalty, how loyal a friend is to you and what extent he or she will go to protect your secret or interest. It is also how faithful and constancy he or she is to you in all weather or situation. A friend of mine, named Stephen was my classmate in high school. One day towards examination time the principal announced at the assembly that students who haven't paid their examination fee will not participate in the coming examination and should wait at the assembly ground after the assembly is over. Stephen my friend hadn't paid so I told him to go and let me wait because normally what the principal does is warn and shout on them to pay up. Supportiveness is friendship. Being supportive to a friend is very beneficial. In doing so you are helping or encouraging your friend and learning what you may not have known in the process. For instance a friend of mine was having difficulty in mathematics and he told me that he wanted to start going for mathematics tutorial. I told him that is good he should go and it will help him improve very well. I was also having problems in mathematics, so I started going with him. In another case a friend may need urgent or serious financial assistance, helping him or her by provide it or by talking to him is very supportive. And he or she will remain grateful and will never forget it because there is a quote that says "A Friend In Need Is A Friend In Indeed”.
At time most friendship does not work out the way we want it and the cost are the negative qualities that end friendship which are the feeling of betrayed by someone you so called a friend. A friend you thought you can trust with your secret and life. Another is the discovering that your so called friend doesn't share or value the same view on matter that felt very important to you. Also not being supportive or selfish can damage a friendship because a friend that only cares about his or her personal ambition or looks down on the other is consider not to be a friend and he or she is not good for any friendship.
Knowing this we can say that we now know not just a little bit more of what it takes to build a reliable friendship and what can end one. The fun thing is that my friend Stephen told me thank you for being my friend after what happened. At the moment I had goose bumps. The feeling that you did something good for someone and they really really appreciate it so much than you felt doing it. For me I think that’s all friendship should be all about.
