| Nausea. Vomiting. Anal Leakage. Increased heartrate. Anxiety. Is losing weight quickly worth all of that? |

| Start of talking about something that happened to someone becuase of diet pills. Like, "It was just a usual day for (lets just call her Judy) Judy. She would go to the store, then go work out. Little did she know that she would be late to pick up her son from school though. In (a date) Nov. of 2005 Judy started taking diet pills....." Maybe something like that.Good Luck with your paper! |

| Start by saying just that "Diet pills should be banned", then expand on your opinion. Give scientific evidence from medical journals and results of surveys in both pro and con terms. Good luck |

| Well, first you have to decide which side of the argument you're on. Choose a side and then brainstorm three reasons to support your argument. Use those three reasons in your thesis statement as the last sentence in your introductory paragraph. Let each reason be a paragraph. Then add a conclusion where you restate your thesis in a different way as your final sentence. So, for example, if you were in favor of diet pills, you might write an introduction like...In 1960, one out of nine Americans were obese. By 2007, those statistics jumped to one out of three! No one can argue that America is in the midst of an obesity epidemic. What is the solution? One possible solution could be effective diet pills. Diet pills should be manufactured and widely distributed because they can help curb childhood obesity, they can save the government billions of dollars in health care costs, and they can allow people to get their weight off and lead happier, more productive lives.Then of course, paragraph 2 would be about childhood obesity. Paragraph 3 about the billions that the government spends on obesity-related health care, and paragraph 3 about helping people get thinner to lead happier lives. Just add a conclusion and you're golden! Good luck! |
