Writing is empowering, and not just because it’s fun to tap into that creative vein and be amazed by the riches there. Writing, in all its varied forms and purposes, is a complex process. It calls upon us to bring our left and right brain together to shape experience and feeling into something another person can read and understand. That need, to feel understood, to know that what one thinks or feels matters, is universal.
Many people, children in particular, view the whole process as mysterious and inaccessible. The good news is: anyone can learn to write and every writer has their own unique process.
But there are many more ways in which writing empowers us. The writing process is rarely linear but does have distinct phases that all writers go through: planning, reflection, drafting, and revision—though not necessarily in that order! Writing can help children and adults alike to:·

Raising the drinking age in order to reduce the death toll among teenagers
There is a proposal to shift the drinking age limit up in Serbia in order to reduce the death toll among teenagers. The reason for this is because the amount of alcohol-related deaths has been rising since 2010.
Shifting the drinking age up and imposing stricter laws will undoubtedly reduce the death toll among teenagers , due to the fact that the majority of teen deaths occur as a consequence of an accident. The majority of these accidents are car accidents caused by teenage drivers who drive under the influence of alcohol. It is assumed that those changes will definitely begin to reduce the amount of young lives lost each year.
On the other hand the age-shift and stricter laws will have little or no effect in a country like Serbia, where the tradition is that boys in order to become men should start drinking at an early age. Exposure to alcohol at a very early age can increase the chances of long term alcohol abuse in the future. Also, there is a problem that teenagers will rely upon their parents, older siblings and friends who are expected to purchase beverages for them.
My conclusion is therefore that drinking age limit shift, in the country, like Serbia, will have little or no effect, so we should consider other ideas in the future in order to stop the future escalation of this problem.

- enhance their problem solving and critical thinking.
- develop integration of process, content, and skills.
- develop organizational strategies depending on the form of the writing.
- develop the skill of inquiry ( which includes:collecting and evaluating information, comparing and contrasting, imagining situations from another perspective, building argument for a particular position or point of view, learning the importance of not only asking questions of others but of ourselves, of not only revising the information we receive but being willing to revise the questions).
- increase decision making abilities.
- develop a healthy skepticism which leads to exploration of ideas, an enlarged world view and a confident imagination.
