Social Networking
Many people go on social networking sites I for one do not go on these sites but many people around the world do.
Pros
Here are the advantages that could be more then enough to make you join in. There is no fee to get into social networking sites which is good if your low on money and just want to hop in and talk to your friends just like that. Social networking is also were if you have a unique talent and post links to video were you can show off your talent and mabye someone will pick you up for that talent. The other good thing is friends. You have friends that have friends that have friends and so on. This is a great way to find new friends and meet new people and mabye that special someone. This is also a great way to communicate with your friends and family mabye asking when to hang out or whens family dinner? Theres also bad things
Cons
Theres so much stuff people can know about and creep on you. Like your name, birthday, job, favorite place to hang out, age, gender and other types of information. So you have to be careful. While many sites try to keep any of these cases of harassment to small chance of happening like, cyber-stalking, online scams, and identity theft you still may never know. Some people when there on to much they get really addicted to the certain site like facebook or twitter. They will get on as much as they can to update on every single thing. Sometimes people forget to do homework and so on. Some people you meet on facebook for example might be the best of friends but you dont know him. He sais hes a 14 year old boy named timmy and the he pops the question hey we should meet sometime. you then might say "no thanks I dont know you that well." or you can say "sure lets meet up at blah blah." you meet him and all you see is a 40 year old who grabs you and well your never seen again so be careful.
But if you be safe and double check what your posting then you should glide through with no problems.

Are sports drinks good for teens?
Hi,
I'm sorry about posting so late, but I have been away at a conference for the past four days and have not gotten a chance to. So, without further ado, here it is:
Many parents of active children find themselves debating whether or not sports drinks are actually healthy for their kids to drink. Producers of the drinks insist that these drinks are healthier than giving your child a soda to drink, and more appetizing than a bottle of water. To find out whether these drinks are healthy, we have to list the pros and cons of the drinks.

Sports drinks are loaded with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates
act as fuel for the body, and give kids energy for sports. Some also have protein,
that when combined with carbohydrates, improves an athlete’s performance. They
are also easily accessed through convenience stores or supermarkets. This makes
sports drinks very portable, and easy to get your hands on. Also, the flavour
of these drinks rather than water makes many children more pleased. Those who
do not enjoy water can have these drinks instead, so they are very popular with
many people.
But these drinks are also dangerous if consumed in large amounts.
Sports drinks have large amounts of sugar and sodium in them, which can make
them very unhealthy. The sugar can lead to diabetes, and other diseases. In
some drinks, the sugar level is higher than that of a soda! Also, they can
dissolve your teeth, due to their acidity. Many contain caffeine, which can
lead to dizziness, insomnia, and issues with the nervous system.
So are sports drinks good for teens? I think not. The amount
of sugar and sodium in them is almost as high as a soda’s sugar and sodium
level. This means that they really are not as healthy as many companies say.
Also, for teens who do not like water, there are many other options, like
squeezing a bit of citrus into the water, or making tea. Therefore, I believe
that sports drinks are not healthy options for teens.

CE Topic #2 Revised
Revised copy
Are sports drinks good for teens? Many people think that they are, but many think they are not. Today I am going to list reasons why I think they are good and bad for teens.
Pros: When you are playing an intense sport or doing a intense workout what would you rather reach for, a sports drink or water, I would think that people would rather reach for the sports drink. The reason people drink sports drinks is because they taste better, are refreshing, and give you more energy. Sports drinks give you more energy because of the ingredients that the companies but into them such as carbohydrates or protein.
Cons: There are definitely cons to drinking sports drinks. Sports drinks can be dangerous if you're just drinking it for the taste, these drinks are made to give you energy when working out or playing sports not when you're just thirsty that's what water is for. If you are drinking these drinks when you're not working out or playing sports drinking these drinks can lead to diabetes or other diseases because they are very high in sugar and sodium.
Personally I think that sports drinks are good for teens when used right, but can be very bad when used wrong.

For this weeks CE Topic I will be picking are sports drinks good for teens? For this topic i think there are lots of pros and cons.
Pros: When your playing sports or doing a intense workout I would rather reach for a sports drink, instead of water. Because sports drink tastes delicous, are very refreshing, and give you more energy. Sports drink are very good when working out or playing sports because the ingredients that the companies who make the drinks are do give you more energy and be refreshing when you work hard.
Cons: Sports drinks usually cost 2-3 dollars which is really expensive. If you aren't working out or playing sports, sports drinks can be very bad because they have lots of sugar and are high in sodium which is bad when not working out. So instead of going to buy a sports drink when not working out or playing sports, is not only bad for your wallet but also bad for you.
Personally I think sports drinks are both good and bad.

CE Topics week 2
Sorry for the late post. I didn't have time this week so I am posting it now.
My topic is: are sports drinks good for teens?
This topic has many pros and cons and today I will explain my reasons for this topic.
Sports drinks has been very popular for those people who play sports. Personally when I play badminton I sometimes drink some of this sports drink and I find myself doing better at the sport. Sports drinks gives you tons of energy and also is good source of hydration. There are also some disadvantages for sports drinks. Sports drinks can give you a lot of sugar and it is also quite expensive.
Pros: Hmmmmm, just think of a nice cold sports drink on a hot summer day after playing a intense game of badminton. Personally I would think that a sports drink would be the most refreshing thing to have after playing a intense game of badminton. It refreshes you, gives you energy, and also it tastes super awesome! Sports drinks are also very healthy for you if you do a lot of sports because it has a lot of stuff in this drink that can give you energy. Sports drink can be healthy and properly treated and also it is nice to have after playing an intense game or after a nice run it refreshes you and it wont make you feel like.. TIRED. When I drink the sports drink after cadets and badminton I feel like I'm getting so much energy so it can be good if you drink it after you get tired.
Cons: Just buying a nice cold sports drink from the vending machine in the recreation centre can cost about $2 the least. The sports drink contains many calories and it also contains high sugar and high in sodium. The sports drink can be very refreshing but if you just drink it because you think it tastes good, it can make you fat and also it can waste your money. Would you rather just drink water from the water fountain for free or buy a sports drink for $2. Personally I would drink water from the water fountain and not waste my money and become fat. The sports drink do cost a lot and it would only be good when you work out and play sports. My opinion is that people should drink water instead of sports drink if you are not that exhausted.
Sports drinks have advantages and disadvantages and I hope you would read my blog post and think for a moment weather you want to spend that extra dollar for energy, or just stick with plain water. I hope this post changed your point of views for sports drinks.

Ce Topic (week #2)
Sorry for posting late again but my topic is are sports drinks good for teens?
This topic can be very big but I will try to sum it up for those who don't like to read long boring paragraphs.
I play sports and I do drink sport drinks. There can be many advantages when you drink this. For example, drinking sport drinks taste good, are healthy when you are active, give you energy, and are a good source for hydration. There are also disadvantages. Sport drinks have a lot of sugar and are more expensive. I will now talk about the pros and cons for drinking sport drinks.
Pros: Drinking sport drinks taste good. When I play sports I prefer to have gatorade rather than just plain water. Most people do not drink the amount of water that they should which would make them dehydrated rather than drinking good sport drinks. Sport drinks can be healthy when treated properly. You need to be active for at least 30 minutes before drinking. If you are not active and drink sport drinks, this may harm you. When you actually exercise, they are very good because they provide lots of energy. I even feel stronger when drinking a sport drink rather that water. In conclusion, sport drinks can be very good for you if you use it properly.
Cons: Drinking sport drinks also has negatives. If you do not exercise, then sport drinks are not for you. They contain lots of sugar and sodium that are not healthy for you when you are not active. Sport drinks also cost more as they do more than water. Water is about 80cents and sport drinks are about $2. If money is the problem and you don't exercise, don't waste your money. In conclusion, sport drinks contain lots of sugar and sodium that can be unhealthy if not used properly. They do cost more but if you work out or play sports, it's worth the extra cents to have more energy when you need it.
Sport drinks have advantages and disadvantages. Many athletes don't drink water but sport drinks for fuel when exercising. They also do drink water in there free time but for training its sport drinks. I personaly think they are a pro since I am an athlete and need to fuel my body. They are the perfect drink for me when exercising. Hope this changed your point of view on if sport drinks are good for teens.
