  Well, the first never of my life is to NEVER do drugs. I mean, it's like killing yourself on purpose, just to make you feel nice for a little bit. Suicide, pretty much. Also, NEVER steal or rob. Because when the police catch you, your entire life just goes down the drain. If you want money, get an education, get a good job, and work hard! It's that simple! Now my NUMBER ONE never is DO NOT MURDER!!! If you don't like someone, talk to them about it and work it out. Well, those are my three NEVERS, NOT DO'S.

  There are many things that I consider as "nevers" in my life. One of these things is that I never dwell on the past and what I could have done better. These are things that I can't change no matter how badly I want to. I also never worry about having to do anything special to get into heaven. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior and I beleive that he died for our sins. This is something that I will be eternally thankful for. In addition, I never have to worry about being someone that I am not. If I had to do this, I would not realy be myself and people would not ever really get to know me. I would hate to live with being someone that I am not just to fit in.

  Never, it’s such a strong word. I may use it a lot, but I don’t always mean it. There are always those big ones that I may say never to, and mean it. One being, “I will never stop worshiping God!” I will definitely benefit from that because I believe that if I don’t have someone or something to believe in, I may completely fall apart. God created us, and everything around me and I will always be thankful for that. Two, “I will never do drugs.” Drugs are very hurtful to my mind and body so not taking them will help me live a stronger and healthier life. Three, “I will never give up on myself.” As long as I do that then I will never forget about the people that I may love or may love me, also this will help me never to forget the goals that I have to be successful in life.

  The three "nevers" of my life would be to never do drugs, because I have learned from the DARE program that they are very hazardous to your health and have lots poisons in them. They will probably mess up your life too, by jail, relationships with others, sports and academics. If I do not do drugs there is more of a possibility of my life being successful. My second never of my life is to never give up. A benefit of this is if I'm working on something but not getting far and getting very frusturated and feel like giving up I wouldn't. I would keep on trying until I finished, and that could lead to an accomplishment or doing better. If this wasn't one of my "nevers" and I just gave up when it got too hard I could miss a great oppertunities and do worse in my grades or something else. The last of my "nevers" is to never treat people badly, because I believe in karma, and I don't want a bad thing coming back to me. Another reason for this "never" is making the other person feel bad. Almost like the golden rule: treat others how you want to be treated. I think this will help me make new friends and not have people mad at me.

  Never stop believing in yourself. If we stop believing, then we stop dreaming. If we stop dreaming, then we stop acting. People who think they can make a difference often do. My second never would have to be...never hold a grudge. Life is too short to hold on to little things that happened days, weeks, months, or even years ago. There are more productive ways to spend your time than to remember bad memories and pout over them. And finally, never, ever, EVER get on the bad side of a teacher...unless you don't want to go to college. To add more to that last "never": ALWAYS stay cool and calm and most importantly, NEVER lose your assignments.

  My first never would be to never give up. Giving up is like saying, “No thanks” to everything you ever worked for. Your dreams are being crushed in the process of giving up. My second never would probably be to NEVER EVER litter! I would never litter. It’s wrong in so many ways. We are all miracles, which means we shouldn’t take our presence for granted. Anyone who litters is polluting this wonderful planet with garbage. They might also be harming innocent animals. Recycling is something I am very big on. I think the planet is the most miraculous thing known to man. It is SO incredibly… amazing. Last but not least, my third never would probably be…well I know this sounds bad, but it would be to never trust just anyone, and not to get too comfortable around them. You think you know someone so well, you tell them everything… all of your secrets… and they turn around and stab you in the back. Everyone has a secret. It could be good or bad, for the worse or the better, but everyone needs someone to trust. Luckily, I have a best friend I can tell everything to. I can trust her. Like I said, don’t tell everyone everything. For example, you tell someone something and they say, “Oh my goodness! Don’t worry I promise I wont tell anyone.” Next thing you know everyone knows about it. Those are my three nevers.

  The first never of my life is never give up Christ. If he wants me to die for him, then I will. The next never of my life is never look down on someone just because you are better than them. There is still nothing wrong with them. My last never of life is never be mean to people with disabilities. They are humans to. Thats almost as wrong as torturing animals. Its just not right. I once knew someone who tried to commit suicide because somebody called them retarded. Those are my three "nevers" of life, I hope you will learn from them.

  The three "nevers" of my life are: never sweat the small stuff, never stop dreaming, and never slack off. Now I'll explain them.
  Recently, I read a self-help book called "Don't sweat the small stuff". You may have heard of it; it's a very helpful and popular book series. It helped me realize that life is normally one big ball of stress, because we tend to "sweat the small stuff". When we let things go and calm down, we realize that most of the time, we're just making a mountain out of a molehill. It helped me relax and have more fun. The second is "never stop dreaming". We can't really accomplish anything unless we aspire to it and dream. The last is "never slack off". This is fairly obvious; we shouldn't slack off, EVER. Even if we dream, it isn't enough to accomplish your whole task; you must work toward our dream. It's fine to take a break every so often, but there really shouldn't be any slacking off!

  The three “nevers” in my life are: never regret, never lie, and never worry. If you regret in your life you never get to live in the present, and you don’t get to worship the precious moments in life. If you regret what might happen you’re afraid to try. Second, never lie. If you lie it will always come back to get you, and if it doesn’t, you will feel bad about doing it. If you lie, people might lose trust in you. Finally, never worry. If you worry about an upcoming test you might over anticipate it and not study the easy stuff. These are why I never worry, lie, or regret.

  I absolutely hate having to eat some strange bug. That would be my first never. I mean, are the fear factor people crazy? That’s so gross! My second would be to believe in another savior. I’ve had many people teach me about Jesus and I know that he is the one. Third, would be leaving my family. It’s heartbreaking just to think about it. I would probably never ever do these things.

  I will never buy a 360, never buy a Zune, nor will I ever buy a Mac. The harms of this are I am not giving these products a chance I'm judging them based on their popularity.

  There are all too many nevers in my life, but if you ask me to choose just three then I will. My first and utmost never would be never to use drugs or alcohol. The reason I choose never to do drugs or alcohol is because THEY RUIN YOUR LIFE! I don’t know about you but I plan to do a lot with my life. My second never would have to be… never bully. To me bulling would not make you popular as other people may think. Bulling is like a parasite. It will never leave you. It keeps nagging on your conscience. It’ll make you feel bad and it will even bring your great days down. My third and final never would be to never give up. Giving up is like wasting your life. If I had given up I wouldn’t be where I am today.

  First is... Never ever do drugs. No matter how bad things might seem, I'm sure there's someone to talk to, or something out there that can help you ALOT better than drugs can. Secondly, never just "whatever" your loved ones, or just plain ol' anyone! Always show them that you care about how they feel or what they think. It makes them feel good that they can talk to someone who cares and will take what they say seriously. Finally, never say you can't. Saying you can't is like saying everything is impossible from my POV.Some people say, "Well thats like saying pigs will fly!" My response is,"Well maybe one day they they will genetically recombine a pig with a bird!"

  People have so many "nevers" it is so hard to chose just three. But if I had to just choose three they would be, to never hold a snake, spider, or any other scary bug or animal. My second "never" would be to never lose my best friends. My last "never" would be to runaway. The reason for my first "never", to never hold a snake, spider, or any other scary bug or animal, is because I hate bugs plus I cannot stand snakes or scary looking bugs. The reason for my second "never", to never lose my best friends, Is because I have been with most of them since I was born or since they have moved here. I have other friends but I have only a few best friends. I can tell them anything that is "on my chest" or just need to talk about something. Finally the reason for my last "never", to never runaway, is because I love my family and life just the way it is.

  I suppose my three nevers in my life would be to never give up on yourself or others, never do drugs, and never argue with a teacher. You should never give up on yourself or others because it will come back to haunt you. If you give up now, you'll remember it in the future when you're suffering. If you give up on others, they will surely loose confidence in you, and find some other faithful person who can give them unrelenting support. We should all never do drugs because if we do, the fates will cut the string before you know it, in other words, you'll die sooner rather than later. Drugs are harmful to our body and prevent us from reaching our dreams and succeeding in what we desire. Don't you think it would be lovely to live a flawless life without ever going through surgery and whatever else you have to do because of your decision to do drugs? That would be awesome. Last but not least, you should NEVER argue with a teacher if you know whats good for you. Teachers almost always (notice the ALMOST) know what they're talking about, and they hate it if you're a smart alec and think you're the best kid in the world. Just be a good boy or girl, and you'll get through junior high perfectly fine, I hope. There are a lot more things that you should never do as long as you live (like jump off a cliff), but those are my major ones.

  My three nevers are never do drugs, never abuse people, and never steal. Doing drugs can harm my body and not let me control my actions. Drugs can also give me bad breath. The second never would be to never abuse people. Abusing people is evil and can affect the abused person’s life in a bad way. The abuser should be abused so they know what being abused feels like. The last never is to never steal. Stealing can start out small, but it can get bigger and bigger as you continue. Stealing is a bad habit, and it can make the others feel sad because of their loss. All these actions are crimes in this country that is why I choose these for my three nevers.

  My first never would be to never do drugs. They will destroy your life. Drugs will make lots of horrible things happen to you like having bad grades, losing friends, losing trust in others, and being unable in sports. Also, drugs pose a threat in your life because they are very harmful. If you do drugs you might not finish school or not go to college and it would be hard to get job, and you would not be very successful. My second never would be to never stop believing in God. He knows everything about us and he will always be my best friend when I need him. He will love me no matter what and will open his arms to me. God will lead me through my hard times. My third never would me to never judge someone because outer appearances do not matter. It is what is in the inside that counts. It is hard not to judge someone if you just see their outer appearance, but I think we can look past their appearance and look at their personality.

  The three nevers of my life are to never do drugs, never wait for something good to happen you you; make a change in your life by yourself, and never regret doing to right thing.
  Drugs can harm your body beyond fixing. It ruins your life. Many people who do drugs are unsecessful and they are always at risk of overdosage and dying. Drugs do alot of damage to your physical appearance too. It gives to bad breath and makes your skin wrinkle faster. We should all respect our bodies and not do drugs. We should all never wait for something good to happen. We should try to make a difference by ourselves. We're all unique and special to this world and we can all make a difference big or small. We should all strive to reach our goals no matter how many obstacles there are in our way. It's better than just sitting around and waiting. We also should never regret doing to the right thing. Even if your friends ditch you, if you know it's right, you should never regret it. Lying is bad and the truth will come out anyway, but YOU'VE made a difference by telling someone and standing up for what's right.

  I have a lot of nevers but to make three is hard. Here is one I will never do drugs They like totaly kill you on the inside. I will never worship the devil I would therefore be turning my back on God a thing I will never do. I will never stop doing what is necessary to live life to fullest I mean think of all the places to see and all the things to achieve.

  There are many nevers in my life, but my top three are; never ever to do drugs, never to slack off, and never to say that something is impossible and stop believing in myself. I would never do drugs, because once you start using them, you’ll get addicted to them. When you get addicted to them you’ll want to use them more and more. The excess of drugs can damage your organs, or it can kill you. Not only will you ruin your physical appearance but also your mental form, you will start thinking about them, and forget all about your dreams and goals. All that you so far worked for, would just go to waste, in a matter of seconds. Also, when you use drugs, and get addicted to it, but you want to quit, then you will have to pay a lot more money for re-hab. Even before you realize it, someone might inform on you, or you might just stumble across a police officer, and get sent to jail. So why just ruin your life, when your life would be better off without drugs? My second top never would be, to never slack off. If you slack off, your work load continues to build on. When it builds on, you just never feel like doing your work anymore because you know that you will never finish it. When you first start to slack off, you grades will start to go down, because the late work policy is, 1 day late then you get 50 points off your original grade, and 2 days late you will get 0 points, but for Algebra I you get 0 points the first day it is late. Even though this is for the Pre-AP and GT classes it is still a lot of points off your average. Of course, then, you would have to explain to mom and dad why you got a really bad grade on your report card. So, instead of dealing with all this, I just do my homework, and try not to ever slack off. I would also never say that something is impossible and stop believing in myself. I think that anything is possible if you just work hard, aim for your target, and know what you really want in life. Because you think something is impossible, you should never stop believing in yourself, you should keep trying until you get what you want. If you don’t believe in yourself, then you don’t have hope in yourself. All those famous people became what they are today in our lives, because they never gave up, even though they had many ups and downs that they had to overcome on their way to success. All I can say is, if they just gave up, the world would never have been the same as it is today.

  The first never in my life is to never do drugs. Drugs are nasty and horrible. They ruin your life. My second never is to never give up on your dreams. It is so important for me to always to do my best and reach the goals I have been striving for. My third never is to never stop believing in yourself. If you don't believe in yourself, how will you be able to be the best you can be? I know I will never stop believing in myself.

  First off I will never do drugs. Drugs can ruin your life after the first time you use them. Secondly they can cause serious damage to your mind, body, and health, and potentialy kill you. That would ruin all of my dreams. The next thing I will try to never do is be negetive. If you are a negetive person then you are missing out on all the good things life has in store. If you are possitive than you can make good of bad thins. Plus negetive people are not very fun to be around. The third thing is try not to blaim my mistakes and faults on others (unless it really wasn't my fault)because that can make the person your blaiming it on feel bad, or even make them mad and that is a good way to loose frinds.

  There are many things that I will never do. One such thing is never give up just because things aren't going as planned. Just because you hit a bump in the road doesn't mean its okay to give up. Not to be a cliché, but my second never is to never do illegal drugs. Drugs ruin your life, they destroy your personality and your health. Drugs are suicide and there is no reasonable reason to do them. My last never is no never conform just because thats what people accept. No matter what everyone tells you to do, remember you are your own person and make your own decisions.

• Steffi L 2nd period

  My first never is never to stop believing in you and also never say that something is impossible. Because, you think something is impossible, you should never stop believing in yourself, you should keep trying until you get what you want. If you don’t believe in yourself, then you don’t have hope in yourself. My second never is never to litter. If people litter, they are polluting the oxygen we’re breathing, the animal’s life, and the nature of our world. Once you litter lots of things, such as people getting sick or animals dying, will happen because they had eaten the garbage that you had thrown away. Recycling is something I am very big on. I think the planet is the most miraculous thing known to man and that’s why people should take a shorter shower, recycle papers and use less electricity by switching the switch off when people aren’t in the rooms. My third never is never to do any drugs because you’ll get really sick and you might not see the future of your life. Drugs are a bad thing of your life because you don’t know how they will harm your health. If you do drugs, you’ll get lung cancer, heart diseases, and many more diseases that are real bad to your body. So, start believing in yourself and never say never because everyone know it not impossible.

  I do have a few things that I would never do and I hold myself bound to them. The first is never lie. If you tell a lie you lose people's trust. After that they stop socializing with you and if you keep lying, they have nothing to do with you whatsoever. I like having lots of friends so that is a big no no.
  The socond never in my life is don't take anything for granted and live in the precious present. Never look back! It is a thing that I always try to do to be the best I can be. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it.Learn from it next time. The last thing I would never do is cheat. How are you going to get through life if you cheat on everything? I am always a fair player and always want a fair game.Mind you, you also wont get any better at anything if you cheat. These are all big, bad, no no's in my life and I would NEVER do them.

  The three 'nevers' in my life would be never, ever, do drugs. They make you ugly and nasty and hurt you and your family at the same time.
  The second thing I would never do is give up on myself, if I give up I'll be lost forever in an abyss of despair. I also will never ever let any body bribe me to do anything against my will. I agree I'm a pushover but I won't let someone humiliate or ridicule me or someone else.

  I will never cheat,steal, or lie.Those are three of Gods ten commandments. Those are basically the words I live by. If your afraid of any of those three things, then you wont be afraid of anything else. Why do you think the world is so bad? We have so many problems in this world. It all just comes back to those three "nevers". One mistake can ruin your life forever. I will never cheat because I would feel I have failed God and all of those who really believe in me.Someone will always find out somehow. I will never steal because when you steal,its dishonest and it's against what i've been taught in my morals. I will never lie because if you lie, its like having a weight on your shoulders and I dont want to hurt anyone. Things like this make me scared and i'd feel like a weight is just getting stronger and stronger on me. Not only do these things make me feel guilty, but they make me loose confidence and I cant believe in my self, and if I don't believe in my self,then how can I gain the confidence to be the best I can be and just be who I am? All I know is to never think about the negative. NEVER cheat, steal, or lie.
