Paragraph 1: Vending Machines in Schools
Studies show that vending machine profits in schools drop dramatically when the available choices are health foods. This raises the question of whether every item of “junk” food in school should be replaced by healthy food. Congress has recently passed a bill that bans certain junk foods, but is this a good idea? Students can buy junk food elsewhere, vending profits decrease, and schools don’t have authority over students’ eating habits.

Paragraph 2: Are Bullies Criminals?
More than 50% of students in the U.S have either been bullied or witnessed bullying. So the question arises, should bullies be punished by the judicial system for their actions? Based on an article in the New York Times about Phoebe Prince, this question can be answered. The severity of bullying, the similarity of other crimes, and the discouragement of being charged with a crime all lead to one conclusion. Bullies in American schools should be regarded as criminals.
