Suicide

     Suicide is a growing fad among teens in high school and middle school. Suicide is the act of taking ones life. Suicide usually occurs because of bulling, or family issues. Lately there have been many more attempts of suicide that have not resulted in suicide. Attempted suicide is not the way to get attention or the help that is needed. There is nothing worth taking ones own life for.

     Suicide is morally wrong, because it is the taking of a life. Now there is more preventative measures, to prevent suicide. More and more is being done to bring up suicide awareness. Suicide does not solve anything it just hurts those who love you. Suicide is never an option.

Poaching

     Poaching is a crime, that can range from killing a deer out of season, to killing a rare albino rhinoceros. Poaching is immoral, because it goes against the limits of keeping a safe population of a certain animal. Most poaching occurs with the poacher having full knowledge, that what he is doing is wrong. Most poachers go after the skin or horns of a prized animal.

     Some poaching even occurs with the intention of just killing a rare animal, just for the fact of killing a rare animal. There is no want of meat, hide, or ivory. This is the most immoral type of poaching. In poorer regions poaching consists of killing a deer out of season for food, or shooting a duck out of season, because the taste is comforting. In conclusion, all poaching is wrong rather it is just to kill a rare animal, or if it is to put meat on you table, but it is not the right season.

Rhino killed solely for its horn.

Children Soldiers

     Fighting a was is dangerous even for trained soldiers. Obviously war is no place for children. However, in some third world countries children are used as foot soldiers. The children are not given proper training, and as a result are the first to die. Children also have the highest casualty rate, compared to older and more experienced fighters. The children are forced to fight, and have no choice in the matter.

     The children, are not given proper food and clothing. Without proper training, they are easy targets, when they face experienced armies. Most children soldiers do not make it to the age of eighteen. Some of these children voluntarily fight, because if they do not fight for someone, they will get killed anyway. Even in some drastic circumstances, the life of being a child soldier. Is better then the life at home. Being a child soldier is a terrible way to live.

Darfur

     "Darfur is a region in Sudan the size of France. It is home to about 6 million people from nearly 100 tribes. Some nomads. Some farmers. All Muslims. In 1989, General Omar Bashir took control of Sudan by military coup, which then allowed The National Islamic Front government to inflame regional tensions. In a struggle for political control of the area, weapons poured into Darfur. Conflicts increased between African farmers and many nomadic Arab tribes (United Human Rights)."

     Over 600,000 have been killed since the conflict. Another 2.5 million have been displaced. Over three millions lives have been horriably effected by this genocide. Religion is the last thing that should be causeing people to be acting in such a horid manner.
