How can a 12 year old girl help stop Terrorism in the US?

Question

I have a Report due tomorrow that has to be a half page passage about how I'm supposed to stop Terrorism in the US today and im blank can anyone help !?

Answer 1

This is what you're learning? God help us all.

My first instinct is to tell you to write an honest answer - that a 12-year-old can't stop terrorism, but of course, you would probably get a bad grade for giving the truth.

So, I guess you have learned your first lesson at school - sometimes you have to make up stuff that's fake so that you can satisfy society at large when they have more power than you.

Here's my idea:

Talk about how you can decide now, at 12 years old that you will never use drugs, like opium and heroin, whose profits are often used to support terrorist cells. Research this topic and you'll have more than half a page.

You can also decide that you will own only electric-powered vehicles to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, which also helps to fund terrorist activity, and that you will convince your parents to give up their gasoline-powered vehicles and opt for electric vehicles or stick to bicycles and public transportation.

Wow, thats a really tough topic for someone so young! Lets see, the best thing you can do "stop terrorism is to be smart! No one person can stop terrorist, its stupid to think they can! But you can help protect yourself if the time comes and you affected by it. You should report on what to do, as a child, to protect people from attacks. Here, you may use this paragraph if it helps you! Don't worry about using my name, it's yours! Since I am to young to vote, or start a protest, the best thing I can do to fight terrorism is to be ready. I can not fire a gun, but I can help people! I can help little kids stay calm with games, and help little babies go to sleep! I can put band aids on peoples cuts and I can bring them water! No one person can stop terriosim, but one person can help make things easier if a terrist hurts us! And that one person is going to be me! So this is my plan!! And from there, tell your teacher how you would help little kids calm down. Or how you know how to do CPR or should learn! Or how you can purify water to drink, or what plants are good to eat if homes are destroyed! good luck hun!0

Answer 3

Communication. All of us on this planet want the same thing. The problem is we think the other "guy" is against us and trying to take advantage. We have something that someone else wants and they have what we want. Think about this in your school. Why do kids pick on each other? We hate the popular kids because they have something we don't have. The popular kids hate those who are different because they are just like everyone else but they have it and you can't have it.

We need to communicate to each other that we can help each other. I can help you with the home work if you can show me how to dance. It is a situation where all benefit. There are no losers.

Answer 4

You can stop terrorism as a participating citizen of the United States. You can speak your mind and influence people. One day you can vote, and write our leaders, and maybe even run for office. You can't single-handedly guarantee a change, but with grit and determination, you can edge things in a direction of your own choosing. Perhaps it starts with helping fight local crime, or being a pen pal with someone at the forefront of the effort to stop terrorism.

Answer 5

Well, if you do what the media has indicated, turn in everyone that says the slightest bad thing about anything. If the word hate is used, turn them in. If you here 2 friends talking and one says to the other, if you tell him I like him, I'll kill you, turn them in as a threat to the whole school...Don't get me wrong, terrorism is real and we should be aware of things and people around us. At age 12 a lot of bad could happen to you. Don't dwell on it, be alert and know what is going on around you. If you question someones actions or words, ASK for help from a confident adult. They may help you see things differently or support you in your questions of character.

Answer 6

Good question. Keep your eyes & ears opened. If you notice a new vehicle parked next to a water pumping station or a new neighbor that acts a little weird, talk to a trusted adult. Watch your local news or go online & read it to keep up with current events. Check out the Highway Watch program. It is a training program for professional truck drivers to hopefully prevent a terrorist attack using commercial vehicles. Good luck with your report!!

Answer 7

You can help by having good values, speaking out for what is right, practicing tolerance and not rush to judgment when you hear different view points. Be aware of your own environment, support your peers that need help, include rather than exclude, be a positive force and you'll be surprised at the lives YOU may influence. Just imagine...

Answer 8

Perhaps you should simple be honest. Write about how don't feel that, as a 12 year old, you can do anything to stop terrorism.
I'm an adult and other than voting for people that I believe can do something, I don't believe that there is anything that I can personally do. Honesty is the best policy.

Answer 9

By watching for and reporting suspicious activity.
By planning on joining the military to defend freedom.
To spread the word of Jesus, peace and love.

That's a tough one for someone who's only 12. This isn't one of those "it's the thought that counts" situations.

Maybe you should go a different direction with this; preparation. You should be prepared. With supplies and emergency papers close at hand.....maybe you can go that direction instead.....

Answer 10

Nothing significant can be done at such a young age. Study hard so that when you grow up, you'll be in a good position to fight terrorism (eg. as President).

Good luck =)
