The life cycle of a ballpoint pen is:

1.The pen is produced.

2.Somebody buy's the pen

3.Here the pen's life can differ, the pen can;

3a.Be taken to a school and be kept in a pencilcase.

3b.Be taken to a private/public building e.g work, home.

4a.At a school the pencil will be lost or stolen or taken home and lost there in which case refer to 4b.

4b.At a private/public building the pen will be; lost in which case the loser will get another; destroyed either during demolition of the building or too much force exerted on it e.g squeezed, stood on. Or it dry's up.

5a.The person who stole the pen or the person who finds the pen will in turn loose it or have it stolen.

5b.If at a public building the pen is refound it will be reused until it is lost again. The pen's life will evenetually end in its destruction or the latter option in 4b, there is a tiny percentage of pens however that are used up, this happens about thrice in every users lifetime.

6a.If still at school the pen has as a high chance of breaking bu some are lost or dry up.

N.B.In my own time at school i have never used a pen so much it has run out of ink and my time at shool is almost over. Though i only use biro's which contain alot of ink, unlike some of the cheaper pens i have seen which only contain a flat ink cartidge the shape of the pen is misleading, it makes the cartidge look round when in actual fact it is not.
