                  Owning an exotic pet

Well first of all I have to say that I just love animals! I have watched some tv programs where some people own exotic animals and they have said that it is just amazing. Although not all the time, for example I remember a couple that had a raccoon and they loved him!! well… most of the times. They said that this kind of animal is use to take food all the time! So their trash was all over the place every time that they decided to go out or that he did this while they were sleeping. Also he used to bite the furniture. After I watched this I know that I would not like to own a raccoon. 

                   Violence on television

Most of the times when someone says this or I read it, I immediately think about movies or tv shows. Nevertheless violence on television is more than that. What about the news? They are about terrible things and the worst part is that those things are real life situations. Every day that I watch the news there is always a terrible story and we can see pictures or even videos about those situations. I guess that it is important not to watch this when there is a child near us.

                   Legalizing marijuana

I have been in some countries where marijuana is legal and here even though it is not legal people smoke. When I am walking I can smell it and nobody says anything about it. Maybe we are kind of use to this type of behavior. I do not know how things would really change if they legalize it. I truly believe when we are not supposed to do something, some people want to do it even more. Forbidden things are more attractive for some people.

                                Recycling

My family is really into recycling. Now that I read this sentence it sounds like I am not hahaha But I am!! In my house we have big bags, one for each thing. I hardly ever forget to leave things in these bags. If someone forgets to do this, my mother asks the whole family “who did this?” and her tone of voice is not nice at all.  My sisters though are like extremely fan of recycling. One of them bought this kind of recycling bins, they are huge! And my other sister got big cartons boxes. What I do not like about this is that my mother asks me to help her to take these to those places where you can leave them and most of the times she asks me when I am in a hurry. If I tell her that I cannot do it because I just have to go, she says ok I will do it alone because you do not want to help me. And I just feel so angry. I am like, mom! It is not that I do not want to; I can help you when I come back. She says no, I want to do it now, and if you cannot help me I can do it by myself. So when I am waiting for the bus, on the bus, on the subway I can’t stop feeling upset because I did not help her.  Feelings of guilt haunt me all day.
