tension. In a recent study, teenagers were shown to experience stress as often as adults.
According to the study, the most common causes of stressors to teens include divorce of
parents, death of a loved one, loneliness, moving to a new neighborhood, and having
difficulty in a social environment. These stressors can greatly change the way teens act in
many circumstances.

The challenge is to make it interesting

Example: When I think of the home town of my youth, all that I seem to remember is
dust- the brown, crumbly dust of late summer- arid, sterile dust that gets into the eyes
and makes them water, gets into the throat and between the toes of bare brown feet. I
don’t know why I should remember only the dust… And so, when I think of that time and
that place, I remember only the dry September of the dirt roads and grassless yards of
the shanty-town where I lived.
4. Persuasive
Uses direct approach
a. “Believe me and do it!”

3. Students are currently getting ripped off. Students who spend an average of 10 hours or more
on extracurricular activities should receive some kind of academic credit. Most students who
are involved in sports, music, journalism, or theater activities are actively learning on a daily
basis. They attend practice and events and participate regularly as they would in class.
Furthermore, their participation helps them become more responsible and disciplined
students. Students are putting forth the effort, and not getting any recognition for their
efforts.

the types of
paragraphs.
