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.

Don't deceive yourself!

Abashin Andrey is writing...

It is not a secret pupils don’t like even hate doing homework. It can be easy or difficult, big or small, interesting or boring. In any case, it takes a lot of time, energy, efforts.
So, many children use textbooks with homework keys to do the homework without efforts and thinking. In our class 95% of my classmates have such textbooks. Unfortunately 90% of pupils use them working at home. They forget about the importance of knowledge in future life and career. They do not develop their personality, their mind and thinking. They want only excellent estimation.
People! You learn for yourselves, not for teachers!
Your future success depends on your real work at school and home.
Don’t cheat!
Don’t use text books with homework keys.

About gamblimg

Alehashkina Maria is writing...

Gambling is an acute problem for Russia. Card playing for money has risen among male youth ages from 14 to 22. The increase is primarily among those young people who attend high school or post-secondary schools.
If you've been watching television or been to the mall lately, you may have noticed that poker has become a big trend. There are a lot of clubs of poker. They say poker can be compared to chess, because it is a very intelligent game. But if you play it for money it can lead to dangerous consequences. Problem gambling can strain your relationships, interfere with responsibilities at home and work, and lead to financial catastrophe. You may even do things you never thought you would, like stealing to get money to gamble or take money meant for children. Statistics and research name crime, theft, robbery, school and family problems, legal and money troubles, depression, suicidal thoughts and attempts as consequences of poker.
Many prevention experts believe that education about the risks and consequences of youth gambling is the main key in helping youth, parents, educators and communities in the solution of the problem. The young should be informed about the responsibility in gambling choices.
As for me, knowing about possible risks and dangers I am fond of playing a game of poker with my friends. But my mother is against my hobby and we have many conflicting moments. And I certainly understand why, but I can not stop playing poker.
So, I need your advice.

School uniform.To be or not to be.

Khranovskaya Diana is writing

It is not a secret, that the problem of a school uniform is discussed in every school. The majority of schoolchildren have negative attitude to wearing a uniform.
“-” Pupils do not want to lose their individuality, to hide it behind frameworks of a strict school uniform. Besides, some school uniforms are very formal looking and may take a lot of looking after. Skirts or formal pants are not good for doing sport or running around at lunchtime or recess. School uniforms are rarely fashionable. You can get fed up of wearing the same old things every day. You get into trouble if you don't wear uniform.
“+” But there are also good things about school uniform. You don't have to worry about what to wear on a school day. You know that everyone else will be wearing school uniform. You can save your 'good' stuff for nights and weekends. You can sell or buy second-hand uniform at the school. It promotes equality because everyone has to wear the same.
The majority of Russians 64 % consider that it is necessary to wear a special form of clothes at schools. The opposite point of view is shared by only 31 %. More often women are for the introduction of a school uniform - 77 %. 43 % of the interrogated are sure that the state decision on introduction of a school uniform at all schools of Russia should be accepted.
15 % of people think that it is a head of school or regional authorities (13 %) should decide to wear or not to wear a uniform. Only 12 % of the interrogated consider that parents should make a decision on, whether their child will learn in a school uniform.
What is your point of view?
