So I need help improving my English essay. Here it is: According to the World Health Organization, about a quarter of youth alive in the Western Pacific region will die from smoking. Nearly 20 percent of 12th graders, 12 percent of 10th graders and 5.5 percent of 8th graders smoke cigarettes daily. Just imagine, that could be your child, student, brother, or sister. Each day, almost 6,000 adolescents under the age of 18 start to smoke, and approximately 2,000 will become regular smokers. That is almost 800,000 annually! Now, I know I have said I will not be dumb enough to start smoking, but there are kids that do it due to peer pressure or other insanities. Most parents try to take care of their kids by talking to them, letting them know how bad using drugs is, but some kids just don’t understand. If the current use of tobacco continues among these young people and children, these youngsters and children will end up with horrible health problems such as, cough and phlegm production, and increase in the number and severity of respiratory illnesses, decreased physical fitness, which keeps growing every day, an unfavorable lipid profile and potential retardation in the rate of lung growth and the level of maximum lung function. To me, this is way more than a normal person in two lifetimes would get. The young people don’t think about the consequences of their actions, not to mention the children that start not even before they start high school. Among young teens, ages 13 through 15, about one in five smokes worldwide. Just imagine those numbers. That is a lot of kids if you ask me. There has been evidence that shows that around 50% of those who start smoking in adolescent years go on to smoke 15 to 20 years. One of the main reasons teens begin smoking is because they want to imitate another smoking teen of whom they admire. I don’t understand why kids want to be like others when they were made so perfectly. I say a person is cool when they can be themselves and not worry what everyone else is doing. All peer pressure is between teens; approximately 90 percent of smokers begin smoking before the age of 21. According to a national survey that was taken in 2001 for high school students, the overall prevalence of current cigarette use was 28 percent. For children and teens that smoke at an early age, it’s harder for them to quit, just as much as long-time smokers. Once a child or teenager smoke at least 100 cigarettes in their life time, they say they are going to quit but they can’t, it’s impossible because they are already addicted. Understanding this topic makes it easier for anyone to not want to smoke. Some may get more influenced, but the wise ones will understand and not do it. I find it really easy to say no. I hope others find it as easy as I do. The reason for this is because most kids do it out of pressure, even if they don’t want to do it, they do it because they are afraid they won’t be liked, or they’ll be made fun of. I personally understand them because I have been around lots of kids like that. I just hope they make the right decisions no matter what happens.
