This is my explanation on how to use a fire extinguisher.  How To Use a Fire Extinguisher. The fire extinguishers is a tool for the average home. Incase of a fire you use this device to help put it out. They are often red with white signage covering the surface. At the top it has a metal nozzle in which you are to face toward the flame.Extinguishers contains a substance- either dry powder or a liquid. It is suitable for wood, paper, flammable liquids and electrical equipment. First you must remove the extinguisher from the wall. Pull the Pin at the top of the extinguisher. The pin releases a lock and will allow the substance to come out. Aim at the bottom of the fire, not the flames. This is important as you have to stop the base of the fire. Squeeze the lever slowly. This will release the liquid in the extinguisher. If the handle is let go, it will stop. Now sweep from side to side until the fire is completely out. Only use it from a safe distance and when the flame has died down you may move closer. Also read the instructions on your fire extinguisher because different fire extinguishers often have different instructions. Fire extinguishers save lives! By not equipping your house with a one you are putting your house at possible risk that can be prevented. Remember: Aim at the base of the fire, not at the flames! By Samantha.

Should Under 13 year olds be allowed to date.

Under 13 year olds dating causes much controversy especially when parents get involved. Naturally it is a parents instinct to be concerned when their children are dating others. Some may think that children shouldn’t date for risk of them being hurt. Others believe that is acceptable for young people to be mingling at a young age. I too think that is appropriate for thirteen year olds to date. There are numerous reasons for and against this topic.

People who believe dating at a young age is intolerable are wary that a child is not mature enough. This is because they are still at their developing age. When a child dates another they will often go to extreme lengths to fit in. This can be hazardous if a child is peer pressured into something that don’t want to do by their significant other. They can easily be introduced into the drug scene which will impair the child’s life and work performance, getting them in trouble with not only their loved ones but the law. If the child gets involved with a delinquent child there is the risk it may rub off.

However there are others who believe that dating young is a part of life. The majority of children will have safe, harmless relationships. People believe that children have the right to date freely as long as the relationship stays harmless. As harsh as it may seem, children need a taste of rejection and heartbreak in their young years so they are prepared for their future lives. Often when a child is exposed to something earlier on they don’t receive the shock when they are mature making it a difficult stage. This proves a good experience for young people.

This proves that people have a different vision for children. My perspective is that thirteen year olds should be allowed to date in this important stage of life so they get the understanding of what it may be like which is a vital chapter of life. Others may believe the children are simply not ready.
