My Good and Bad Habits

When sitting there hurting and suffering from a disease that you got from smoking will just break you down. You will soon realize that you made a horrible mistake. Araya mentions about depression can do to you from smoking "Cigarette smokers frequently describe the anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of smoking, but evidence suggests that cigarette smoking may itself increase negative effect, so that the causal direction of this association remains unclear". There has been so many Ads and commercials that tell us how dangerous it is to smoke. Many ignore the powerful message that is trying to get across.

There are lots of harmful things in the world such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. Cigarettes are smoked and liked being smoked everywhere besides it is poisonous. Although smoking is harmful for people's life. Some people believe that smoking should not be banned. However, in my view, smoking should be banned since it damages people on account of three important reasons.

Some people feel good about themselves only as long as others support them and approve them. The moment another person criticizes them, or withdraws her or his support from them, they not only feel bad about themselves, they may even hate themselves. That would be the first step into low self-esteem. When a person acts like that, li... ... middle of paper ... ...they often approach suicide more determinedly than the young and carry it out with a terrible efficiency. "Not only is suicide significantly more prevalent among older persons, but the suicidal act itself reflects important differences between old and young," notes Dr. Hendin, in his book Suicide in America.

And I do admit it was the truth, because I would get mad for every thing my parents would say to me. Since I have grown, I noticed that I am calmer; I don’t get mad as easily as before. When I get anger at something I try to get calm first by taking some deep breaths. I have realized that some things are just not worth getting frustrated or mad about. When it comes to being stressed out I am more passive I don’t really like showing that I am stressing out.

His curses are of the tamest kind, though, "damn", "hell", "crap", "ass", and he curses so self-consciously and so consistently that the words lose most of their vulgarity. Most of the cursing in the book would not even be rated PG-13 if it were in a movie. The word "fuck" appears three or four times at the end of the book (201-204). Holden is as shocked by the word as the reader and he spends the ... ... middle of paper ... ...ubversion of power that is constantly expressed in this book that people want to suppress. Holden Caufield is the child trying desperately not to grow up into a "phony".

(Dean 18) Most of the time the veteran is guilty, but what triggers the harmful thoughts are the emotions that they were experiencing while in the traumatic event. Theses emotions are avoided at any cost, and this makes them do some pretty crazy things. They just close themselves up from everyone and anything. Family can not even get to them because the persona of the emotions they are trying to avoid experiencing again. (Wilson 11) Other things they do is major substance abuse.

I chose these habits because they are the most common bad habits among people in this day and age, but they are also the most deadly. These habits are more than just a repetition; they are a repeating cycle that causes harm to not only the users but also people dealing with the family, and in some cases even random, innocent people. The first bad habit we will talk about is drinking. Drinking is not a bad habit when done responsibly. Anyone should be able to consume alcohol when they want, as long as they have a sane mental state and recollection of what they are doing.

The 3 Deadly Habits Many people are trapped in a bad habit that they wish they never had. Unfortunately, bad habits are formed more easily than good habits, and are usually the hardest to get rid of. Littering, smoking and texting while driving are all deadly bad habits. Since so many Americans possess these habits, the government enforces laws in attempt to counteract the effects of these bad habits. These habits need to be broken one way or another because they not only affect the person, but it can affect the ones close to them or even a whole nation.

There are many obstacles that a person my face in his life but a hard one to overcome would be bullying. Bullying is when a person feels the need to belittle, emotionally, or physically harm another person due to differences in appearance, culture, or language. (Merriam-Webster, 1882) These reason are by far the only reasons on why a person may bully but they are a few of the most common ones seen. It may seem like causal fun to joke about another person but it can be very damaging to the person on an emotion level causing lifelong problems. A person that is bullied can develop low self-esteem/ self-image, turn to self-harming techniques, or commit suicide to stop the pain.

Through these experiences, depression began to scare me because of how inferior and worthless it can make a person feel, and where these low feelings would lead to. I realized that depression should not be allowed to dominate a person’s life as it would slowly eat him away. I felt I had to find out what depression really is, what causes it, and most of all, how to deal with it. There are two main types of depression: minor depression and major depression. First of all, minor depression is the type of depression that is encountered most in our lives.
