Binge drinking causes both positive and negative externalities for society. Positive externalities include bringing people together from different cultures and boosting tourism. However, binge drinking also leads to many negative externalities. Studies show binge drinking increases the likelihood students will miss class, fall behind in schoolwork, get into trouble, engage in risky sexual behaviors, damage property, get injured, or attempt to drive drunk. It can also interrupt others' sleep, cause arguments and assaults, damage property, and result in unwanted sexual encounters. Therefore, while binge drinking provides some private benefits, the social costs of things like violence, vandalism, and health issues likely outweigh these benefits.Alcohol ppp

Alcohol affects many body systems and can lead to serious health issues. It damages the nervous system, causes declines in mental abilities, and increases risks of various cancers. The liver is especially impacted, with drinking able to cause fatty liver, swelling, cirrhosis, and liver failure over time. Alcohol also weakens the immune system, raises blood pressure and heart risks, decreases bone density, and can cause kidney failure with heavy long-term use. For women, drinking impacts menstruation and increases breast cancer risk, while men may have reduced testes size and muscle mass over time. Drinking during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol syndrome and permanent birth defects in the child.Types and Uses of Alcohol

Alcohol consumption can have several ill effects:
1. It slows down brain activity and nervous system function, impairing judgment and reaction time. This increases the risk of road accidents from drunken driving.
2. It lowers inhibitions, making drunk people more quarrelsome. This leads to increased violence and crime.
3. Heavy drinking on a single occasion can cause staggered movement, slurred speech, blurred vision, dizziness, and vomiting. Drinking large quantities can make a person pass out.Drinking.akki

The document discusses alcoholism from several perspectives. It addresses whether the choice to drink is truly free given genetic and biological factors. While drinking involves voluntary acts, alcoholism progresses to a point where choices become less free due to intense craving. It also discusses how to recognize alcoholism based on its consequences to health and relationships. There is no completely safe level of drinking, with guidelines of no more than two drinks per day for men and one for women. The document notes that alcoholism and depression often occur together, with each problem intensifying the other, so both must be actively treated.

Tobacco is a legal but addictive drug in Spain. Smoking one pack per day can cost over 1,150 per year. It is difficult for smokers to quit due to psychological addiction, though nicotine replacements can help. Many teenagers smoke because of peer pressure from friends, so it is important to say "no" if offered a cigarette to avoid manipulation or harder drugs in the future. Smoking causes both short-term effects like increased blood pressure and long-term health issues including lung disease, heart disease, and various cancers.New brand candies

This document warns about new drug-laced candies that can harm users. It describes LSD-flavored lemon candies that cause mood swings and anxiety. Jelly beans laced with MDMA increase sociability but risk of death with frequent use. Methamphetamine cocktail candies may induce psychosis, paranoia, and heart problems. Heroin-cola candies pose risks of overdose, diseases like HIV and hepatitis, and can destroy one's life. The document advises that trying these candies can cause harm and loss of everything.Bullying
BullyingMarcia
油
Bullying causes immense suffering for its victims and often stems from the bullies' own insecurities or experiences being bullied. Talking to someone about bullying is not difficult and can help stop it before it escalates or causes someone to consider suicide. Both bullies and victims would benefit from seeking help rather than allowing the abuse to continue or create suffering for others.Internet

The document discusses the importance of being careful about what personal information you share online. It notes that criminals often use victims' computer information to acquire private details. It advises only sharing details on reliable websites and knowing who you're communicating with online, as many murders and kidnappings have resulted from contact with strangers on social media. It concludes by reminding readers that computers are a work tool but how you use them is your choice, and to consider any risks before uploading information online.Bullying
BullyingMarcia

Bullying is commonly understood as repeated aggressive behavior intended to harm someone physically or mentally. However, over 50% of boys and girls in a country experience bullying, most commonly by other boys. While boys are more often the bullies, 20% of bullies are girls who psychologically abuse other girls. Stories of real bullying victims who have ended their lives due to depression, anxiety, loneliness, and health issues from bullying show why addressing bullying is important. Telling real stories of bullying through books and films helps current victims feel more comfortable and confident in confronting their own experiences, believing that with help they can overcome it as well.Drugs
DrugsMarcia
油
Drug use is growing, especially among young people aged 20-30, and often leads to addiction, anguish, health problems, and even death. The document describes a mother crying at her son's grave who died from a drug overdose, asking the reader to imagine being in her or her son's shoes. It notes that while death is one possible consequence of drug use, addiction and harm to the nervous system are also outcomes, and people often lie, steal, and use drugs to cope with social problems rather than address the underlying issues. The document concludes by asking why people still use drugs despite knowing these facts, and encourages the reader to help change the situation and prevent friends from falling into drug addiction.Social Networks
Social NetworksMarcia
油
Everyone has computers and plays video games or uses social networks, which can cause problems for children like increased aggression from violent games, eye strain, and confusion between reality and fantasy. However, games can also teach computer skills and be educational. Social networks pose risks like inappropriate photos being shared and contact with unknown people online. These issues have solutions like limiting screen time, controlling who you connect with online, and asking for help managing technology use.Birth Control
Birth ControlMarcia
油
Long ago, sex was only for procreation but views have changed as contraceptive methods now allow safe sex. Contraceptives in pharmacies exist because views changed and methods like sterilization, IUDs, implants and injections are over 99% effective while condoms, diaphragms, pills and patches range from 85-98% effectiveness in preventing pregnancy. Without contraception, sexually active people risk unwanted pregnancy and STDs like AIDS, hepatitis and herpes.Eating disorders
Eating disordersMarcia
油
Eating disorders like obesity, anorexia, and bulimia affect many people worldwide, especially teenagers. In the United States, as many as 10% of young women suffer from an eating disorder. Eating disorders are caused by unhealthy, oily fast food and a desire to emulate thin fashion models. Proper nutrition is important for health and happiness, so people should eat homemade, balanced meals instead of fast food and focus on overall wellness rather than just weight or appearance.Alcohol
AlcoholMarcia

Drinking alcohol in parks can negatively impact health as even small amounts lead to impaired coordination, slowed reaction time, slurred speech and blurred vision. Heavy drinking poses serious risks like heart failure and respiratory failure. For youth, drinking is also illegal and can have worse health effects than for adults due to ongoing development.Bullying
BullyingMarcia

Bullying is a serious problem that occurs when more powerful people repeatedly act violently towards less powerful individuals. It can take place in schools, churches, workplaces, homes, and neighborhoods. Victims of bullying often suffer long-term emotional and behavioral issues like loneliness, depression, and anxiety, and bullying leads to several suicides each year. Everyone has the right to live without feeling bullied, so victims should speak up when they are being bullied so it can be stopped.Anorexia

The document discusses the negative health effects of pursuing perfection, as perfection does not exist. Instead of seeking the impossible goal of perfection, it is better to aim for good health, which is achievable. Pursuing an abnormally low heart rate and blood pressure can lead to heart failure, heart attacks, and other issues like hair loss, bone weakness, muscle loss, and even death in some cases. The document warns about the high "price of 'perfection'" in terms of health problems.Santiago Ram坦n Y Cajal
