Question by Chri: I need a strong closing sentence? or leave the reader something to think about?
its for my speech on why the drinking age should stay the same.

here is my conclusion

All in all, because alcohol impairs your physical as well as your mental abilities, the drinking age in America should not be lowered. Here are some solutions to help prevent underage drinking. The longer we can delay alcohol use, the better the chance that a person will never have a problem with alcohol. Alcoholism is a serious medical and social problem in this country. In addition there should be enforcement of laws against selling alcohol to minors. Even though young people obtain alcohol from a variety of sources, no other reductions in access can be fully effective if underage purchases are easy. Not only does enforcement reduce sales to minors, but it also reduces underage drinking and heavy drinking. Moreover, Schools should educated more to their students on alcohol abuse and the damage it causes overtime. This strategy has been found to reduce alcohol consumption and problems. Furthermore, everyone can work together to create a community where young people can grow up and feel good about themselves without drinking.

now i need a good sentence in the end to leave the people something to think about

Answer by Mark IX
When you say “here are some solutions to help prevent underage drinking” you don’t actually provide any solutions. You’d be much better off saying “here are some facts about underage drinking”.

I’d suggest your final sentence is actually quite good, it just needs rewording. Try something like “Everyone can, and must, work to create a community where young people can grow up feeling good about themselves and not feeling that their lives will be better if they drink”.

Answer by ZingaMomma
I agree with the other person who answered about the word “solutions” – definitely change that. On the other hand, I think the last sentence here opens up an entirely different subject – it is why people drink: they need to feel good about themselves. This leads the mind off on a whole different track, and begs the question “How do we get people to feel good about themselves?” This is separate from your very solid arguements about preventing people from starting to drink at younger ages.

YOur two main points seem to be reducing sales and education. So, make your last sentence about them.

Reducing sales to minors and eliminating streams of access, while increasing education about alchohol abuse, can make a difference in the lives of young people in our community and across the country.

Or something like that.
