Legalizing Marijuana
My example
If you legalize marijuana, kids will feel its okay to throw their lives away to drugs
This is a fallacy because
1) Marijuana doesn't appeal to everyone
2) For a good amount of people, it is prescribed to help with sleeping
3) It has been known to provide benefits to the user
1). If you don't go to college you'll end up working at McDonalds
2). If you don't go to church, you'll burn in Hell
Other examples
The first one is a fallacy because it makes it sound as though you cant do anything with your life unless you go to college, when in fact there are a lot more things to do.
The second one is a fallacy because it is projecting a belief that one may not follow in hopes of scaring them into believing.
