Dangers of smoking for school age children

We can meet in the streets, both in large cities and small towns where students with santainya smokes
as if thats not a bad deed. You can find them in various places, such as cafes, terminals, public
transport or even around their own schools. People who understand and are aware of health will
certainly are concerned with circumstances such as this. Smoking is obviously injurious to health, but
in addition there is another disadvantage, namely the economic problems. Students generally are people
who are still economically dependent upon parents. This of course will add to the heavy burden that
should be borne by the parents. The current first lady and also a lot of young women who smoke.
The main factors are the cause of student smoking is the environment. Adolescence filled with curiosity
makes them want to try many things. As already mentioned earlier, cigarettes contain nicotine which
lead to addiction. Then once the smoke, it will be hard to stop, unless there is a willingness and
assistance from the environment. The second thing this certainly will not be obtained when the students
are in a neighborhood smoker. Even many of those students who think that men who dont smoke its
not manly. This led to many students who become smokers, because smoking is one of the them to
actualize themselves. As a symbol that they are people and Gaulish exist.
Perception like this of course is a big mistake. According to the survey conducted by the Heart
Foundation of Indonesia, about 77 percent of Indonesia student who smokes a threat in their adventures
of bids or the banter of her friends own. In addition, the lack of information on the dangers of smoking
early on into the cause of the large number of students who smoke. In fact each of them suck smoking,
just sucking up thousands of hazardous chemicals are quite detrimental to health.
The role of parents, teachers and the public in addressing an early age smoker
As a health-conscious society, then we must do something in disseminating the dangers of smoking. All
parties, be they parents, teachers, the community and the Government should also conduct socialization
about the dangers of smoking for students in accordance with their capabilities and their respective
conditions. Socializing is done must be real and really get into the subconscious of the students. Things
that can be done to prevent the smoking students are as follows:
School and would have to be committed to freeing schools from smoking. Teachers, employees and
parents and all those who visit the school are not allowed to smoke at home sick. This is an example of
a form. Of course it will be weird and makes sense if only students are prohibited from smoking.
Activities involving the youth especially students may not use sponsorship from cigarette companies or
related to it.
Parents who smoke not exposing themselves when smoking in front of children, if it cant stop
smoking. But if parents can stop smoking, of course it would be better because it can be emulated by
his children.
If the child has time to spare then the parent task is pushing it in positive activities so they do not have
the time to smoke. Such activities could be like tutoring, sports, music and more. Better yet if parents
take part in it.
To cultivate the non-smoking healthy living should start from now on. You better leave smoking is
currently in a State of still healthy and fit than later you should leave smoking in a State of critical
illness and death tanks. For the sake of the people we love, its good we stop smoking starting from
now. This article may bring benefits to you. Healthy greeting!

Bahaya merokok untuk anak usia sekolah
Kita dapat menemui di jalan-jalan, baik di kota besar dan kota kecil dimana para pelajar dengan
santainya merokok seolah itu bukan perbuatan yang buruk. Anda dapat menemukan mereka di berbagai
tempat, seperti kafe, terminal, kendaraan umum atau bahkan di sekitar sekolah mereka sendiri. Orang
yang mengerti dan sadar tentang kesehatan pastinya akan prihatin dengan keadaan seperti ini. Merokok
itu jelas merugikan kesehatan, namun selain itu ada kerugian lainnya, yakni masalah ekonomi. Para
pelajar pada umumnya adalah orang-orang yang masih tergantung secara ekonomi kepada orang tua.

Hal ini tentu saja akan menambah berat beban yang harus ditanggung orang tua. Terlebih saat ini
banyak juga wanita dan remaja putri yang merokok.
Faktor utama yang menjadi penyebab pelajar merokok adalah lingkungan. Masa remaja yang penuh
dengan rasa ingin tahu membuat mereka ingin mencoba banyak hal. Seperti yang sudah disinggung
sebelumnya, rokok mengandung nikotin yang mengakibatkan kecanduan. Maka sekali merokok, akan
sulit untuk berhenti, kecuali ada kemauan yang keras dan bantuan dari lingkungan. Hal yang kedua ini
tentu tidak akan didapatkan ketika para pelajar berada dalam lingkungan perokok. Bahkan banyak
diantara para pelajar yang menganggap bahwa pria yang tidak merokok itu tidak jantan. Hal inilah yang
menyebabkan para pelajar banyak yang menjadi perokok, dikarenakan rokok merupakan salah satu dari
ajang mereka untuk mengaktualisasikan diri mereka. Sebagai simbol bahwa mereka adalah orang gaul
dan eksis.
Persepsi seperti ini tentu saja adalah sebuah kesalahan besar. Menurut survey yang dilakukan oleh
Yayasan Jantung Indonesia, sekitar 77 persen pelajar Indonesia yang merokok mengawali petualangan
mereka dari tawaran atau olok-olok teman-temannya sendiri. Selain itu, kurangnya informasi mengenai
bahaya rokok sejak dini menjadi penyebab banyaknya pelajar yang merokok. Padahal setiap mereka
menghisap rokok, sama saja menghisap ribuan bahan kimia berbahaya yang justru merugikan
kesehatan.
Peran serta orang tua, guru dan masyarakat dalam mengatasi perokok usia dini
Sebagai masyarakat yang sadar akan kesehatan, maka kita harus melakukan sesuatu dalam
mensosialisasikan bahaya merokok. Semua pihak, baik itu orang tua, guru, masyarakat dan juga
pemerintah harusnya melakukan sosialisasi tentang bahaya merokok bagi pelajar sesuai dengan
kemampuan dan kondisi masing-masing. Sosialisasi yang dilakukan harus benar-benar riil dan masuk
ke alam bawah sadar para pelajar. Hal-hal yang bisa dilakukan untuk mencegah pelajar merokok
diantaranya adalah sebagai berikut:
Sekolah dan jajarannya harus berkomitmen membebaskan sekolah dari rokok. Guru, karyawan dan
orang tua dan semua orang yang berkunjung ke sekolah tidak diperkenankan merokok seperti di rumah
sakit. Hal ini merupakan suatu bentuk keteladanan. Tentu saja akan aneh dan masuk akal jika hanya
siswa
saja
yang
dilarang
merokok.
Kegiatan yang melibatkan pemuda terutama para pelajar tidak boleh menggunakan sponsor dari
perusahaan
rokok
atau
yang
berkaitan
dengannya.
Orang tua yang merokok tidak memperlihatkan diri saat merokok di depan anak-anaknya, jika memang
tidak bisa berhenti merokok. Tetapi jika orang tua bisa berhenti merokok, tentu saja itu akan lebih baik
karena
dapat
dicontoh
oleh
anak-anaknya.
Jika anak memiliki waktu luang maka tugas orang tua adalah mendorongnya dalam kegiatan yang
positif sehingga mereka tidak ada waktu untuk merokok. Kegiatan tersebut bisa seperti les, olahraga,
bermusik dan lain sebagainya. Lebih baik lagi jika orang tua turut serta di dalamnya.
Membudayakan hidup sehat yang bebas rokok harus dimulai dari sekarang. Lebih baik anda
meninggalkan rokok saat ini dalam keadaan masih sehat dan bugar daripada nantinya anda harus
meninggalkan rokok dalam keadaan sakit kritis dan diujung kematian. Demi orang-orang yang kita
cintai, ada baiknya kita berhenti merokok mulai dari sekarang. Semoga artikel ini membawa manfaat
bagi anda. Salam sehat!

but it is now a nightmare, not just for the students, but also for the parents and teachers. In fact UN has
give to much pressure to the students. It must be changed.

It is also a fact that there are so many students that try to cheat on the exam. On the news we were told
about students that bring hand phone with answer in it. Or about the watchers that let the students to
ask answer to their friends.
And after the exam, we find that some students whom are not pass the grade will be too depressed.
Thoose facts above are enough to show us that UN is bring more bad than the good. We must change
the system. We still need UN as an evaluation of the studying process. But it should not be the only one
to decide the result. Teachers and school also should be the part to decide whether a student pass the
grade or not.

Discussion text example

National Exam: Pro and Contra?
National exam becomes the hot topic in most of discussions among students, teachers, and
parents. Some people believe that national exam is not necessary for students as a
requirement to be able graduate from a school. In other hand, other people see national exam
as an important indicator to know whether students have mastered all school materials or not.
The debate among society about national examination goes on until now.
For people who agree, national exam is necessary for students as a requirement to graduate
from a school. People who support the national exam explain that the quality of the Indonesia
education will drop without the national exam, so they try to defend the current system. They
also think that national examination can motivate students to study harder.
However there are people who disagree with the opinion. Those who against this national
exam kept in school education say that it doesn't need the national exams because the quality

of education does not just depend on the national exam. Further, the national exam only
measures a small portion of students' competence in specific subjects, and does not measure
students' competences throughout the semester.
In conclusion, national examination can still be useful as an instrument to evaluate or detect
the level of students' cognitive competence in several subjects, on a national scale. However, it
is not fair if only national exam score that judge whether students pass or not. Government
should make a regulation that national exam is not the only requirement for students to
graduate. There should be other requirements added such as students daily score, behavior,
and achievement.
