Kid’s Drug Abuse
Teens as young as 13 have already tried drugs as powerful as cocaine, teens tell themselves that they will only try it once but with peer pressure they join a party. Young adults all over the world are trying drugs when they are not supposed to. Because of peer pressure and other temptations, kids are taking drugs. Teens should not take drugs because the kids could get killed and get sent to jail.
To begin with kids should not use drugs or alcohol because teens can die from it and get addicted. The drug that kills the most kids is alcohol. Alcohol is related to deaths 90 percent of the time. This is horrible, this should never happen. Kids have to have better self-control and speak to themselves strong talk to stay away from drugs and alcohol.
Parents that take drugs are a very bad example to kids because if their parents are doing it then why can’t kids. Kids all over are taking drugs because their parents are taking them and they look up to their parents. So parents should not take drugs because it can lead to their child to taking drugs and that is very bad for their future.
Kids at age 13 taking drugs, that is horrible! There are so many questions on how kids get the drugs and why they do it. The only way we can find out why they do is to ask the kids. Young adults and kids taking drugs is a very bad situation because that could lead to jail time and even worse death. So all am asking for is for kids not to take drugs.

Francisco de Zurbaran saint Francis of Assisi in his tomb
The year is 1640; Francisco de Zurbaran is sitting in his room painting historical art. Francisco de Zurbaran is a very good artist. With his art he inspirers people to go out and try something new and explore the world.
Francisco de Zurbaran was born in Fuente de Cantos in Extremadura. He lived 1635 to 1640. It is unknown if Francisco copied the painting from Michelangelo da Caravaggio. He used Caravaggio’s style of chiaroscuro. Francisco de Zurbaran painted directly from nature. Francisco de Zurbaran art piece is Saint Francis of Assisi in His Tomb. This art piece is a great piece of art. It has so much symbolism and so much meaning; it just touches the soul and makes you think about your life. The skull symbolizes that he is thinking about life and the entire things he did wrong and did right. The light in the background symbolizes that he still has a soul. When I first say the art piece I thought,” wow that person can really draw”. I thought that the painter had so much skill. I also thought that that painting made me think about my life and all the things I did good for myself and all the things that I didn’t do well for myself.
Francisco de Zurbaran is a great artist because he makes you think about your life and other people. He also inspires people to believe that they can do anything they put their mind to.
