my poetry response is about the poem real cool. I thought that this was a good peom to tell about how people who think that they are cool think. When they think they are cool then they usually leave school and get really bad jobs such as being a bus boy or working at mcdonalds. They may also do things such as drugs and alcohol so they can't focus on anything except that and they spend all of their money on it and will likely become homeless. I think when it said that they die soon means that people who think they are cool abuse their bodies with substances and sin so they will likely not make it to normal lifespan because of the drugs and alcohol. I think that many homeless people that you see downtown may have had this same problem and so they have no house and almost no money at all and when they do get money they just go and buy a beer or something.
If you ask any of them why they do it some might say that they do it to be cool or to live up their life while they have the chance but almost all of them will say that they wished they never started in the first place somewhere along the line. some people may do it just to fit because everybody else is doing it, i think that these people may not have as bad of an addiction as the ones who decided to start it on their own but they can still hurt their bodies enough to make them die sooner than they normally would. this can be prevented by having school lessons on not doing this stuff although i do not know anybody personally who is addicted to drugs or alcohol but they should still do it so that nothing starts or even becomes a trend in the future.
