They probably should have explained this better, but I very much doubt they're punishing you out of anger. It's more out of fear. You're getting older and closer to the age when you're going off to college or even just spending more time away from them.
If someone is "careless" about an important med like this, it's scary, because you may find yourself in a situation where you forget it and your parents are 500 miles away. They're trying to make sure this never happens, so it's almost like trying to get you to develop a good habit . And to answer your question, no this isn't unfair.
They aren't punishing you for forgetting to take the pill. They are punishing you for being stupid and making them have to turn around and go all the way back home because you don't have your sh*t together. The same penalty would have applied if it was your lunch or a schoolbook.
Put an alarm in your cellphone that will go off each morning before you leave for school. Don't turn the alarm off until you've swallowed the pill.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
