ARTICLE:DANGER OF SMOKING

Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal.

People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they're 18 years old. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That's why people say it's just so much easier to not start smoking at all.

Many of them know the danger smoking,but they still what to smoke because addicted to it. We must knows danger of smoking. Smoke can cause lung disorders like emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchitis, and significant reduction in lung functioning. Smoker’s cough is common symptom that develops as the defense system tries to expel the chemicals accumulated in the air passage and lungs. Gradually, the respiratory system becomes more prone to infections due to lowered immunity.

Other than that,it has been proven that smoking causes lung cancer and cancers of oral cavity, larynx, esophagus and bladder. More than 95% of lung cancers are detected in smokers or those exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. 90% of smokers with lung cancer die within 3 years of diagnosis. The risk increases steadily with the number of cigarettes smoked per day.

Moreover,smoking impacts women’s health substantially by causing infertility, miscarriages, complicated pregnancies and early menopause. Smoking during pregnancy and breast-feeding can have hazardous effects on the baby in early childhood and also as they grow up. Smoking is known to cause sperm abnormalities and hence male infertility.

We must know to protect our health, because no one wants to live in pain. Living as a healthy happy family. PRACTISE MAKE PERFECT!!!!

CYBERBULLYING

Cyberbullying is the use of technology  to harass, threaten, embarrass, or target another person. By definition, it occurs among young people. When an adult is involved, it may meet the definition of cyber-harassment or cyber-stalking, a crime that can have legal consequences and involve jail time.

Cyberbullying also can happen accidentally. The impersonal nature of text messages, IMs, and emails make it very hard to detect the sender's tone one teen's joke or sense of humor could be another's devastating insult. Nevertheless, a repeated pattern of emails, text messages, and online posts is rarely accidental.

A 2006 poll from the national organization Fight Crime Invest in Kids found that 1 in 3 teens and 1 in 6 preteens have been the victims of cyberbullying. As more and more youths have access to computers and cell phones, the incidence of cyberbullying is likely to rise.

This thing happen because of dissatisfaction to someone so willing to embarrass him and cause depression. At worse, it can cause a person to suicide. Had we thought the effect of this cyberbuli and what a way to reduce it?:-

• Resist the temptation to respond.You may be concerned that others will believe lies a cyberbully spreads about you on social networking sites, but defending yourself against the lies won't make them seem less credible and will only encourage the bully to invent more lies.
• Block the cyberbully from your instant messaging programs, cell phones and social networking sites. it can make you more relaxed, even if you wanted to know what he said about you.
• Report the cyberbully to a teacher or other adult authority figure if the harassment is obscene or pornographic. Even if you're not sure who the cyberbully is, your school may investigate and stop the behavior if the person is using the school's Internet provider to send the offensive messages.

  
  

INFORMAL LETTER (DEPRESSION)

24,

Westover Lane,

32164 Palm Coast,

Florida.

10th August 2011

Dear my lovely friend,

         Received your letter early this morning did not surprised me. I know as a teenager it is a natural thing to face to make us stronger to live in this world. First words come across to my mind when I read your letter is “the crisis of today is the joke of tomorrow”. It must be weird to understand this quote. How can my problem easily become a joke, right? You have to understand why this quote can give a stupid word like that. If you think more deeply about this quote it actually try to make us understand that today problem actually gives us an opportunity to improve ourselves towards a better life. I give you an example of one of my experience that can I relate with this quotes. At the time I’m ready to take a driving test, I have done a very big mistake. My car stuck at the first time I tried to drive it and it produce a very noisy sound that make people around laughter at me. It happen three times until the fourth time I’m able to drive my car. At first I think it is very embarrassed mistake and make me phobia to drive a car. But then after a year, when I become a professional driving a car suddenly it remind me about my “big mistake” and I laugh. How can I can make that stupid mistake. The answer is one, mistake are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistake for what they are. Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life.

         I would love to share one lyric with you. A song sung by Michael Jackson. “You are not alone, I am here with you, though we far apart, you are always in my heart, you are not alone”. Sometimes as a teenager like us always think that our parents cannot understand our feeling very well and by holding into this negative thought give a bad influence to us. We think that our parents ignoring us but the truth is we are the one who ignoring them. Share your problem with your parents. They are always being by your side anytime you want. Give them a chance to help you. Remember they are the one who raise you from the day you can only cry until the day you can think by your own right now. There are no parents who do not love their own child. Maybe they are too busy and sometimes they do not have to sit and have a little talk with you. But it cannot be a reason you let yourself become a loner. You still have a friend you can talk to. You need to get started to share with your friends about how you feel. Try to make a friend as much as you can because without friend no one would choose to live, though they had all other goods.

         What about trying to find a new hobby? I know it can be the best idea if you want to try it. Have a walk and very nice sightseeing at a beautiful place. Maybe you can ride a bicycle to energize your body. Sweat sometimes can give us a refreshing moment. You can sleep well at night without thinking about your problem. You can also try to listen to a song that has a lyric that can give a motivational to yourself. Sometimes you have to make yourself busy doing something that can give benefits to you because when you are busy you will forget your entire problem. You have to focus on what is important in your life. You have a very long journey to go. Staying with the same problem and depression just make yourself stuck in a very hard world.

         

         I know even though I write a long letter for you, it is will not work if you yourself still do not have any effort to change. You must have faith in yourself. Believe in God. God is the best listen for us. Be thankful for what you have. All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistake. Never run, but tried to face it. It will make you stronger day by day. Do not brood over your past mistake and failures as this will fill your mind with grief, regret and depression. Do not repeat them in the future. Remember my dear lovely friend, the brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let go your past failures and heartaches. Precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it is a fatal mistake which at least other can learn from. Last thing from me, always smile even if it is a sad smile because sadder than a sad smile is the sadness of not knowing how to smile.

Your sincerely,

Melly

ARTICLES REVIEW-GROUNDS FOR PLAYING SAFE.

ALL children love the playground. They will be chasing each other on. It's a great learning place where kids interact with their peers, develop social skills and build physical strength. But the question is whether the playground is safe for them or not?

I chose this article because I saw many children are interested with the playgrounds, but when playing, they can get hurt. This article tells about the injuries sustained by children playing in playground. 10 per cent suffer from strike and impact, like getting hit by the swing and 1.5 per cent from entanglement, especially when play with the area that has ropes. Furthermore, 66 per cent of injuries resulted from the monkey bars. The ratio of playground-related injury in boys and girls is 2:1 with those aged 5 to 9 being most susceptible. Parents also do not take seriously when their children play in the playground.

I like this article because it gives us awareness of the importance of meditating children to play because not all those places is safe. Playground not designed according to height and age so we should not be careless with it. We are the person who makes playground is safe because we care about their safety and we do not want to see them hurt.

ARTICLE REVIEW-BULLYING

click-click


In this modern age, bullying usually occurs regardless of the school, university or workplace. Bullying is defined as the act of kicking the weak with the intention or purpose to show the greatness and strength, respectively. There are other purposes that bullying means aggressive behavior either in physical or psychological performed repeatedly on the victim and it aims to bring feelings of comfort, peace, tranquility and harmony.

I chose this article because the symptoms of bullying growing day by day. When we read newspaper articles that tell about bullying, it is very sad. I selected this article that tells us about bullying that happen around them. Pursuant to this article, it tells that there are 160,000 students deliberately missed going to school every day for fear of bullying or intimidation. Also be pointed out that one of the four bullies validate the perpetrators when they reach age 30. In addition, fifteen percent absenteeism in schools is actually directly related to the fear of students being bullied, intimidated, insulted or harassed at school.

I agree with this article because of the opinion that the symptoms of this bullying should not happen among us.we ourselves can see the increase in people to be bullies in Malaysia and abroad. Overall, the act of bullyingis a bad act and can make the other person may be a victim and can cause discomfort to other.

This drama tells the story of a duet competitions held in their club to find a partner and the best performance. At the beginning of the story, the club received a new member in the club and the man named Sam. He is a  handsome man with good attitude. Kurt is a gay and like Sam. he asked Sam to duets with him. Initially sam accept the invitation, but after Finn advised not to do so because Sam will be the target of bullies because they will think that sam is a gay also. 

Besides that,there are some problems between Brittany and Santanna. they are also a gay. but Santana use Brittany because she tired bored without of Puck. They fight and find someone else for their duet competition. They all performed the best even though there is some conflict at first. Brittany and Artie withdraw from the race because Artie found out that Brittany just mock him.Sam and Quinn win the competiton.

Finn and Racheal have Sam and Quinn as the winner because they are the most qualified. Finn and Racheal performes criticism because they do not sing and clothing appropriate to the competition. At the end of the story, they all feel satisfied with their performance and their friendship has strengthened. Glee club is to strengthen friendship and love each other despite the misunderstanding.
