I only have knowledge on the legal aspect of prostitution but it also helps to know what your thesis statement is and your stance on the topic.
Answer by Ellen
Don’t be stressed. You can hit this one out of the park. A good thesis is something like this:
A very large number of prostitutes trade sex for money to pay for a drug habit. This is a fact that you should be able to support (just Google “prostitution and drug addiction.” I am not an expert in the field, but have read a lot about it, and know that a huge number of prostitutes have a drug habit that costs hundreds of dollars a day to satisfy. Because you cannot make hundreds of dollars a day working at a minimum wage job, or even a decent paying job, many women hit the streets in an effort to make enough fast money to fund their addictions. You can also discuss the fact that drugs and prostitution may be a “which came first, the chicken or the egg” kind of problem. That is, even women who may have gotten into prostitution because they had no means to earn a living otherwise may turn to drugs to ease the pain and shame of trading sex for money. Those women then wind up shackled to a job that they may have thought they’d only do for a short while — because their drug habits get out of control, they cannot afford not to leave.
Play with this, and I’ll bet you come up with a good paper. And relax. Relaxed writers do the best work.

Question by ashlynn: Underage for blowing a .01?
I had just gotten to a small campfire party and a cop came about an hour later. My friends who were drinking ran…we were in a gravel pit…i, thinking I wouldnt get in any trouble or an underage, stayed an followed directions. We were all asked for our id’s and then stood in line for breathalyzers. When it came time for mine, I blew a .01…i couldnt believe it! I cant say that i dont drink, but i had never gotten caught before. If i was going to get an underage, i wanted it to be when i was actually drunk.
So, my questions are:
1. Is it worth fighting in court, do i have a shot at winning?
2. What is a good reason that alcohol showed up in my blood?
I told the cop i had taken cough medicine, dayquil and i have throat spray because my tonsils are being removed soon and they are always sore. I just want to know if that really caused results on a breathalyzer?
I am actually 19 years old and yes this is my first time ever getting in trouble for this. Mostly all of my friends have gotten underages and in my county in Wisconsin, you first underage is a $ 180 fine, you lose your license for 30 days (which really bites) and it goes on record. I just really dont want this and thank you for your advice so far. I know i am going to fight this…how much of the medicines I listed do u need to have in your system for it to show up? the cop said that i must have been drinking cuz u need to take a lot of it before it shows up…i say thats bs!!

Answer by kerrbear
If the medication had alcohol in it, it would detect a small amount.
Answer by Caitlin
It is definitely worth fighting. Is this your first MIP? (Minor in Possession) If it is, even if you do NOT fight it in court, there isn’t much that will happen to you. In Washington State, your first MIP is simply a $ 35 dollar fine and an 8 hour “Drug Awareness” class if you are over 18. If under 18, you would also lose your license for 6 months. But all in all, Yes. A 01. is definitely worth fighting. Mouth wash, NyQuil, Dayquil or anything with alcohol in it could definitely show up in your system as alcohol. I would talk to a lawyer if you can afford it, or a public defender can also be appointed for you for free by the court upon your request. I wouldn’t just let it go and take the punishment. At least talk to someone, I believe there is a great chance that you will be able to get out of this one. Good luck! 🙂
