Against Water Bottle Flipping Bam! Bam! Bam! Have you ever hear this deaf- making, irritating sound from water bottle flipping?

I get it why some adults and kids don’t like this sound and I don’t get why you get so happy when it landed. That’s why I want to talk to my friends and kids, to not flip water bottles anywhere from public to private places.
Water bottle flipping should not be allowed in public places. Why you ask? Here is why. We don’t want anymore bottle flipping because of bullying, stress and arguments, and finally cleaning and screaming. This is why adults and some kids hate bottle flipping. Bottle flipping or flipping water bottles causes bullying in schools and parties. I think bottle flipping can cause bullying because there is a …show more content…

Specifically, it is stress of losing or bullied and being laughed at. It causes stress, specifically from the terrible noise and the constant yay’s and nay’s. On the other hand, it can cause arguments and some immature thoughts. I asked my friends and they said that arguments start from “It’s my turn! To, “ No, I still didn’t lose!” To even, “ Why did you make me mess up!” Imagine you are in your class, Math or English, solving problems, writing persuasive prompts, and then someone, even if the teacher is in the classroom or not, picks up his plastic water bottle, drinks ¾ of it, and starts flipping. You here, “Bam! Bam! Bam!” I asked my friends and family of their opinion about flipping water bottles, and they hate it. My mom said, “I don’t like the noise, also it destroys my house. Please don’t start.” To conclude, from Parents.com, I found a section where a mom wrote, “Bottle flipping is totally wasteful and completely annoying. It drives me crazy!” Also, bottle flipping can add up to wasting time and cleaning

  • The Curse Of Water Bottles Analysis

    184 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the first article "The Curse of Water Bottles" the author is obviously trying to convince people to stop wasting bottles and recycle. For example "There are solutions like using your own personal water bottle and refilling it" and that would save from buying water bottles, and reduce some of the waste.

However, what many people don’t realize is that these drugs can have highly addictive qualities, and more and more people are becoming hooked, specifically teenagers. But when does harmlessly taking a prescription drug to alleviate pain take the turn into the downward spiral of abuse? The answer to that question would be when the user begins taking the drug for the “high” or good feelings brought along with it—certainly not what it was prescribed for (1). The amount of teens that abuse prescription medications has been rapidly increasing in recent

    “Sports drinks such as Gatorade promise better athletic performance, but in some cases they’re not really necessary. Water does the trick in many cases” (Kent). Gatorade is the most common sought after sports drink by athletes. Gatorade uses effective advertising to display their products to the public. With the use of professional athletes and other famous people, Gatorade’s ads persuade people everywhere to use their products. In this ad, Gatorade uses Dwyane Wade who is a professional basketball player to showcase their product. Wade is drinking Gatorade while in his basketball uniform, showing Gatorade’s customers that he uses it to play well. These companies are willing to spend tons of money to persuade customers that drinking Gatorade is highly beneficial.

  • Drug Use In School Persuasive Essay

    656 Words  | 2 Pages

    The increasing amount of public school students selling, using, or being offered illegal drugs on school property has not only parents greatly concerned but school administrators and educators as well. This matter has caught the attention of the United State Supreme Court, which held “deterring drug use by school children is an important-indeed, perhaps compelling interest of the government.” Although there is a common agreement for the need to provide a drug free learning environments for our students, there is much debate with regard to the procedures and measures to be taken before infringing on the students’ Fourth Amendment right. In efforts to safeguard our students, many states have implemented the use of strip searches. The idea of having young adolescents disrobing on school grounds shocks the conscience of many and acts as a red flag for the intrusion on students’ constitutional rights. In fact, a Federal District Court has characterized a strip search as “visual rape.” So, where do we draw the line between insuring the safety of our students and in the same turn not going as far as stripping them of their Fourth Amendment right?
