The Ins and Outs of Bellybutton Lint, by Joel Guthrie Some scientists gaze into outer space to look for answers. Some scientists

seek answers in the depths of the sea. When Georg Steinhauser wanted answers, he looked within himself. Well, he looked within his bellybutton to be exact. The Austrian chemist spent three years researching the contents of his navel and the navels of others. He has solved one of life's greatest mysteries. We now know exactly what bellybutton lint contains! Steinhauser presented his findings in the online version of the journal Medical Hypotheses. The Vienna University scientist analyzed over 500 samples to determine the exact makeup of the lint. As suspected, most of the lint was made up of cotton from clothing. The fabric pieces are not alone, though. Steinhauser found that the average bellybutton also contained pieces of dead skin, sweat, dust, and fat. Steinhauser's notes also explained how lint accumulates. Stomach hairs tend to grow in a circular pattern around the bellybutton. The hairs act like small hooks, capturing and holding contents within. Shaving stomach hair can lead to a lint-free bellybutton, but don't act too hastily. Although the contents of your navel may be a nuisance, research suggests that lint has a purpose. It is nature's way of protecting your bellybutton from germs and unwanted objects. (20 points)

HELP ME PLEASEEE IM FALLING BEHIND, write a 2 paragraph argument saying why social media is bad for teenagers! Include a claim a
Xelga [282]

Explanation:

I want to help you because I know how hard it is to catch up when you are falling behind. To be completely honest I would love to do the whole thing for you but I have my own school work to do as well. I am answering this question in my free time and I am basically going to give you a very detailed and somewhat filled-out outline. I'm also not completely the entire assignment because I find it important that people on here do the majority of their assignments themselves. Also, there are no "informational paragraphs" above.

Answer:

Introduction/Hook:

While several teenagers will make the argument that social media is the greatest thing to ever happen, it has its downsides.

Claim:

Social media has a number of negatives that come with it.

Counterclaim:

Social media may not always be the heart of the younger generation or the thing that makes technology so technological.

Body Paragraph:

For some teens, it boosts their confidence levels but for others, it takes theirs away. It keeps teens on their phones all the time instead of them focusing on in-person activities and interacting with other people.

I'm don't know if this is what you wanted but I hope it helps!

Have a lovely day!

Cliques are groups of friends, but not all groups of friends are cliques. The thing that makes a group a clique (say: KLIK) is that they leave some kids out on purpose. They form groups that they won't let other kids belong to. Sometimes kids in the clique are mean to kids they think are on the outside. Usually one or two popular kids control who gets to be in the clique and who gets left out.
