They are happy to travel and learn about the world, go sightseeing or just making a picnic in the country.

Continental and English People in love

If a continental youth wants to declare his love to a girl, he kneels down, tells her that she is the sweetest, the most charming and ravishing person in the world, that she has something in her, something peculiar and individual which only a few hundred thousand other women have and that he would be unable to live one more minute without her. Often, to give a little more emphasis to this statement, he shoots himself on the spot. This is a normal, week-day declaration of love in the more temperamental continental countries.
In England the boy pats his adored one on the back and says softly: "I don't object to you, you know."
If he is quite mad with passion, he may add: "I rather fancy you, in fact."
If he wants to marry a girl, he says: "I say... would you?"
If he wants to make an indecent proposal: "I say... what about..."
(by George Mikes, from “How to Be an Allen")

It’s evident different people even of the same nationality arrange their dating process differently. What are your dating customs?

How to make your relationship sweeter, deeper and more passionate

Know that love is a process, not a destination. Love yourself. Say what you feel. Ask for what you need. Reveal what makes you feel loved. Go easy on yourself. Celebrate the exceptional. Praise the ordinary. Do the extraordinary ordinary thing. Be a person of your word. Criticize only in private. Do the unexpected. Shower each other with kisses. Speak the love words. Say “ please “ and “ thank you “. Give more gifts. Ask if you can help. Listen for the meaning beneath the words. Walk a mile in your sweetheart’s shoes. Put your love on a billboard. Communicate with one another. Keep in touch. Take intimate time. Kindle the romance. Watch your tongue. Depart and reunite with loving gestures. Remember the early days of your love. Be willing to make the generous gesture. Tie up your emotional loose ends. Apologize. Apologize. Apologize. Play with one another. Celebrate with ceremonies. Reveal your fears.
Share your dreams. Trust one another. Console one another. Forgive one another. Hold each other in the light. Bow the mystery of love...

Love is patient and kind; it is [Image]not jealous or envious, never boastful or proud. Love is not ill mannered or selfish or easily angered. Love doesn’t keep record of wrongs; it doesn’t delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. Love never gives up. It always protects. Always trusts. Always hopes. Love never fails…

All girls and boys want to be attractive. While it is true that an especially pretty girl or handsome boy may be asked out more, being “datable” depends on things other than just good looks. Enthusiasm and a good sense of humor are much more important than beauty.

What do you do to attract the attention of your sweetheart?

Having a party

Makhlyaeva Dasha is writing...

Parties are about celebrating, socializing with others and having fun! We celebrate milestones in life like birthdays, weddings, passing exams, graduating from school, college or university with our families or friends. Being part of a group of people who are all celebrating the same thing is a good feeling. Going to a party is exciting. You feel good to be included. You look forward to yummy food, talking and playing with others and having fun. Everyone has their own special friends so if everyone in the class seems to be going to a party and you're not invited then don't feel too bad. Kids often go to the same parties because they have been to parties of the people in that group. It's a sort of 'pay back'. Often kids get invited to parties because their parents are friends. Maybe you could have a party when it's your birthday and then you can choose who you would like to invite.
Parties don't have to be big and expensive. Maybe you could have a joint party with another friend to cut down the cost. Having a group of friends to a pizza making party is a lot of fun, everyone has a good time cooking and then eating, and making your own is nowhere near as expensive as buying things. Some children have food allergies so you might have to be careful about the foods you choose to have (you might need to avoid peanuts for example) if any of your friends have food allergies.
Fruit cordial is a lot less expensive than soft drinks and there are some really interesting flavours around. Some kids may not be able to drink red cordials so have a choice of flavours. Parties should be all about celebrating with friends or families. So keep it simple, then everyone is able to enjoy the celebration.
Don't forget to say thank you to mum, dad or whoever helped to give you and your friends a great party.

About friendship

Kryuchenkova Tanya is writing

A friend is someone who shares your toys,
Shares your sadness
And shares your joys,
Someone to play with,
Someone who's there,
Whenever you need them,
When life is unfair.
Friendship is special
That's really true.
If you are a friend
Then you're special too.

When you meet someone, you don't know whether that person is going to become a good friend, so you have to be a bit careful..
Here are the results of the survey devoted to friendship.
All the asked have best friends,95% - have more than one friend,5% of people think friendship takes the first place in their life, 100% - think friendship is a life value, 95%of people support friends in difficult situations. Friends help to 89% people, 75% often argue, quarrel or do not agree with their friends. For 90% of people the opinion of a friend is important.100% think it is difficult to find a friend and keep friendship.

Friendship is like planting a seed that you've found. You are not quite sure what is going to come up so you have to watch it carefully and look after it. Follow rules how to make friends, keep friendship and be a good friend yourself.
How to keep friendship, how to be a good friend? Share your experience.

Here is the statistics from my survey about bulling arranged at my school:
78% of the questioned face bulling at school from time to time.
85% of the questioned think, that there is such a problem in our school, 15% of the questioned disagree. 31% ignore bullies, 31% do nothing if they face bulling; 15% try to stop it; 15% keep silence or just walk away; 8% laugh at bullyies.
92% of the questioned think, that it is necessary to fight against teens’ cruelty.
30% think that bullies must be punished; 8% think that it should be parents' problem; 62% of the questioned think, that it is better to ignore bullies.
So, nowadays this problem is very serious. Bullies feel free and comfortable if they can make others feel worse. People who are bullied should know that it’s possible to make real friends, and get the real respect of people. They need to learn about the good things in life.
Psychologists say if you are being bullied, don't give up - tell someone like a parent or a teacher. No one should be made miserable by other people and there are people who can help you. Just look for them.

What is your attitude to bulling?

Bullying - being unkind to others.

Konstantinova Olga is writing...

Everyone has the right to feel safe. But very often this right is violated. One of the big problems in and out of schools nowadays is harassment or bullying.
Being bullied happens to lots of kids (more than you would think) and it can be very scary. It can make some kids feel so miserable that they don't even want to go to school because teasing can be really hurtful and can change your life.
People often tease others because they feel powerful when others seem to be afraid of them. They like to be the centre of attention and they can't think how else to do it. They don't have many ideas about how to get along with others. They think that it's OK to pick on some kids.
People who are bullies when they are little kids may grow up to be worse bullies when they are big kids. Some bullies use words to hurt the feelings of their victim and some like to hurt people's bodies.
People who are sensitive, may cry or get upset being bullied. People who are bullied often feel scared, lonely and hopeless. These people may be bad at school work. They sometimes run away from school or home.

We are for tolerance
