at certain moments of my life i feel like it's leavin me behind. sometimes it's spinning so fast it'll throw me off, and sometimes it just kicks into overdrive and i apparently wasn't holding on. right now is one of those overdrive moments. and it's not really leaving me behind, but i'm having a difficult time making all the required stops. i feel like i'm a busdriver, but i'm late on my route..........

enough metaphor.

i have to analyze a social problem... then solve it. how do i choose?!?! our society has so many problems. i'm considering these:

*obesity in 40+

*abuse in foster homes

*alcoholism in the middle class suburban parent

*teen pregnancy

*lack of nutrition education in middle and high schools

*fast food in public school cafeterias

god this list could really go on and on...... some of them have no proposed solution at the moment, and some of them hae very obvious solutions... but they are all very rampant. and some of them directly affect others. just though of another one....

**american mindset of another day another dollar.

i don't know which one to write about and the essay is due wednsday. i only have to analyze the problem for this assignment, not solve it for this assignment, that's the next essay..... does anyone have suggestions, or does anyone know a good source for any of the ones i've listed? i think the one i want to do the most is abuse in foster homes. the reason i want to do this one is to prove to my mother that i care about the children as much and more than the animals that i refuse to eat. i am probably better equipped to do something about animals being treated poorly, or something about greenhouse gasses, because i've already done a bunch of research on many topics regarding these issues.... but i need more knowledge regarding humans abusing themselves and others....

any comments with any advice are very much appreciated.
