Parents should not be fined when their
children bully because it is difficult to
enforce. No matter how well a parent
communicates an anti-bullying
sentiment at home, they are not with
their children at school and can not
control their actions. People think the
fine will stop the thirteen million
bullying cases a year. However, a
majority of bullying never gets
reported so nothing would actually
happen to those children and their
parents.
Which sentence is the counterclaim?

International Bottled Water Association,
63% of people polled would choose a drink with sugar if bottled water wasn’t
available. Americans consume 1 billion

almost 200 million disposable bottles
in landfills is a good reason to ban
them.
