Why Christmas sommetimes pisses me off

For most, Christmas is the best time of year. You get prezzies and food and see family and food..etc..etc. For me it is also like this, but I also find christmas quite annoying. If you ask anyone who knows my mother what she really enjoys at christmas she'll say, 'Spending time with my family'. Actually, she'll probably say, 'A reason to blackmail the kids into doing housework with the threat of no presents.' And although this is true, its the first reason that gets on my nugget. My dad works away, my sister is out doing nerdy stuff and my brother is not seen away from his playstation  so I pretty much don't see them during the day apart from meals. So when were all suddenly together, we have to stay together. In the morning we are called down to breakfast at the same time to eat together. We are dragged out to 2 carol services per day with a quick trip round to some distant friends on the other side of the village inbetween; of course, we have to walk there together, its more sociable and less risk of being killed by my fathers driving. In the evening we have to watch T.V together then go to bed. Then repeat. Don't get me wrong, I like family time, but when your 6ft sister is poking you and your brother is jabbing you and lying and your mums telling you to tidy your room and do the animals it gets a bit tiring seen as you do your animals anyway.
My second reason is getting dragged to carol services. Some can be nice, shrieking 'O Bethlehem O Bethlehem..etc' in candlelight surrounded by christmas trees and biccys on your lap is great. Its just when you do it over and over and theres no getting out of it. Those friends of your mothers are always coming over and twittering things like, 'Love the new haircut, sweetie, look just like your mummy, you do,' or ,'Are you enjoying big school. My your growing up fast,'...... -___-   #takemebacktoschoolNOW
There are many more reasons why but that would take me all night and i am very tired and would like to fall asleep because its CHRISTMAS EVE TOMORROW YAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAY post again soon :PP

Why Revision is Hard-with-a-capital-H

Revision is something you do when you are determined to get good grades or have been motivated or bribed by your parents. I am a mixture of both. I'm sure we've all had the lecture on 'Your life will be crap if you don't do well NOW.'  or the one where they say, 'This is going to decide what your future life will be like, whatsitsface. Do you want to have eggs thrown at your face because your a tramp and little kids will pick on you?' sort of thing. I've had both, minus the bit about eggs. But I also WANT to do well. I really do but when sitting down to revise, it always gets messed up because the dude next door has a had a bath and our house is flooding and I have to clean up; or when your pet ferret sneaks up on you and clamps its teeth around your nose and you yowl so hard your mum goes deaf so you have to take her to get a hearing aid but then the doctor doesn't...etc..etc etc.
And when I DO get revision done, I forget half of it which is a massive fail because revision is where you learn it and know it and get the answers right....not for me. I think if I did the same amount of revision as a friend, I would only know half the amount of stuff they know because I forget it all.
Also, I'm a teenager. This means I don't like my parents telling me what to do. My mum tells me to do some revision, I immediatley don't want to do it because she told me too. This also, is very annoying.
Also, I get distracted easily.  My brain works hard to find something for me to get distracted by like, ooohhhhhhhh I could write a poem. thatwouldbegreat; oohhhh the ferrets are going to die because they haven't had enough exercise ibettergodoit: ooohhhhh I could make a yummy cake and eat it all and get fat yumyumyummyyumm; oohhhh my sisters birthday next month lets make her a card pritstickgluegluecutcutYAY..etc..etc. There are so many.
My conclusion: LIFE IS HARD.

Why I feel sorry for Justin Bieber

When Bieber came out, I listened to his first song on the radio and genuinely commented,'Who's this? I don't think I've heard her before.' I realised my mistake soon enough when suddenly the whole school erupted into Bieber crazed girls with Bieber bags and Bieber badges all bragging about their recently bought concert tickets. I thought it was all a bit pathetic. I never really liked him but some of his songs were okay. The one song that annoys me loads is... 'If I were your boyfriend I'd never let you go, I would take you places you've never been before...etc..etc..etc'. He can obviously sing, even if he sounds like a girl so I'm also against all the,'Biebers crap, he can't even sing' sort of vibe that is being passed around by the girls who weren't as pathetic as the brain-dead other half. I also don't think hes bad looking, I don't think any girl who likes guys can say he isn't, unless he simply isn't their type.
One thing that I don't understand is those crazy-with-tears-running-down-their-face girls that have to be kept behind a 7m high fence when he exits the studio or whatever just to make sure they don't try and glue themselves to him and refuse to let go. I mean, it's OK to like his music, hell, even love his music but actually thinking the guy will be intrested in you is going a bit too far. What guy would be impressed with a red faced-puffy eyed-screaming-and-crying-a-river girl trying to climb a really tall fence to get to you. If I were him, I would just run.

How to look more attractive

There are always lots of people wanting to know how to get the guy they fancy. There are 5 important tips that are going to get that person thinking about you in a different way:

1)POSTURE

This is one of the most important of the most important tips. Slouching with your back arched will make you look unattractive. A straight back makes you look confident and pretty.

2) CONFIDENCE

Confidence WILL draw a guy towards you. If he looks at you and thinks 'shes really confident' they'll sort of instinctively look for what makes you confident, which will bring out your good qualities. Also, being confident can help you talk to guys and girls who you don't know. This can ultimately make you more friends, get guys liking you and wanting to talk to you because you are confident enough to talk back and have a laugh and ignore your insecurities.

3) MAKEUP

DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT cover yourself in the wrong colour foundation, draw on caterpillar eyebrows and outline your eyes like a panda. NO ONE finds this attractive. You will be classed as a slut/wannabe slut and girls won't like you, and neither will boys unless they are really desperate. This is not the way forward. Overtime you will realise you need to embrace the way you look, wear eyeliner out and a bit of mascara for light lashes to make your eyes stand out more and peoples gazes will be drawn away from whatever insecurities you may have, and look at your eyes instead. The right colour foundation is very important if you want to wear it. The wrong colour will either make you look very pale or very dark compared to the rest of your body..... not good. A really good way of finding the right foundation is rub it in half of your face or apply it to half of your face and compare the two halves. Less blemishes on one half but the same sort of colour as the other is what you are looking for. Any other changes and its not for you.

4) HAIR

You need a haircut that hides your insecurities. Say if you had a chubbyish round face, then getting a bob will just make it more obvious. A longer style would suit you better that doesn't go round your face, rather straight down either side. This can also be applied to people with long faces. A straight long style would make that even more obvious, a bob less so or maybe a fringe to sort of cut that longness in half.  A good haircut can mean a whole better looking person! If your not sure, ask your hairdresser what they think would suit you.

5) HYGIENE AND FITNESS

Hygiene and fitness are particularly important. No one is going to like a girl who smells of beo and who doesn't brush thier teeth- NO ONE. Shower at least once every two days, I shower every day. Put on some perfume when you go out. Fitness can also be quite attractive, though many men prefer girls that larger. Exercise everyday or twice a week to keep in shape and don't eat to much junk food- you'll pile on the pounds!

These 5 tips will get you a crush within one week, whether you know about it or not!!

Why most people find it scary to go out in the dark

I don't like going out at night by myself, even to cross a 6m bit of drive to get to the garage. The other day, my friend and I went for a run at 8pm, in the dark. I went along because I wanted to get some exercise and I hadn't been outside much that day and wanted some fresh air. While in a way I enjoyed the run -cold air, loud music, feeling that I do something with my life- I also didn't enjoy it in that I had to run to my friends house to pick her up on the route. It was cold, dark, not cosy, shadows everywhere, flickering streetlamps- all the sort of things that would be included in a horror movie where a gang jumps out and follows you. I think, personally, that the fear of being in the dark outside comes from our imagination and what we watch in horror movies because a cold, dark, shadowy place is pretty much where 'it all' happens. Because I have ferrets and they live in the garage-don't worry, ferret lovers, there are no poisonous fumes..etc- I go out in the evening to get them to have a run around in my sunroom. Its only just bearable, but only because of the light on the wall of the house that comes on when there is movement. The bit I hate the most is opening the garage door into the dark, gloomy space withing and feeling as if someone is there.... but of course no one is- apart from the ferrets, but they don't count. Its all just my imagination playing tricks on me, which is exactly the same when anyone feels that fear when outside alone in the dark.
Normally, when going for a run by myself, I don't. I can't leave the warm, cosy, safety of the house to go outside. With the fire burning, the millions of pairs of socks, the biccys on the table and the warm cup of hot chocolate, I cannot even get off the sofa. It just doesn't happen. I guess I've sort of made the outside at night the opposite to the warm safety of the house, therefore thinking it bad and not nice.
Another reason I have are all the reports of girls getting kidnapped and killed or the 'yobs'who hang around with knives ..etc. I wouldn't want to be in the same road as them on a dark, cold night with no one around......

Story of a Carbon Atom in the Carbon Cycle

My life started out in the air. I was in a molecule with two very nice oxygen atoms. I just frifted. I am im a carbon dioxide molecule though I have heard stories of becoming solids and all different things. Suddenly I was being sucked in. It was a plant doing photosynthesis. I was with the plant for weekes before the plant got picked. I was put on a table and the plant was chopped up. I was eaten along with the plant by a human. I bumped and jumbled about down a long dark passage into a larger space called the stomach. I wasn't there for long, as soon I spottted 2 oxygen atoms. I was eager to join them so I did and I was breathed out as carbon dioxide. However, I was soon sucked up again by some berries. I stayed there for a million years or so until eventually it was pressed and compressed so much that I turned into a different substance altogether. I lay in the forest until some shovels started digging and I saw light for the first time in ages. Some coal was put in a weird carrier bag thing and I went with it. I was shaken about a bit before being burned and I was set free. I mixed with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and for the moment I was free, but I would never be free from the carbon cycle.

Pondering over the Twilight Series...

So I went to see the last twilight movie addition some hours ago with my besties. Had a fun pizza hut meal before running to Aldi to get some cheap chocolate and sweets for the movie that we had been long awaiting since the last one had come out. While waiting in the line to go in, we disscussed the previous movies. We finally , after much arguing , agreed the order of `goodness`the previous movies come in. We reckoned that the worst was the  first part of breaking dawn. It drags out her pregnancy for ages and its not very exciting.  Next up was a joint selection where movie two and three, new moon and eclipse drew. In book two, Edward decides to leave after a dangerous incident  with newest vampire Jasper on Bellas 18th birthday which results in Bella having no social life  and doing dangerous things to hear Edwards voice. In book three, Jacob tries to kiss Bella to which she responds with a punch that breaks her hand. Victoria (from book one- read on) creates an army of newborns to take against the Cullens to get to Bella and avenge her partner, James' death. Next is the first film, where they meet and thier relationship blossoms, which was all very cool and exciting. It is also when James, a vampire hunts Bella and almost succeeds. She is quite seriously injured.and was bittten by James too before she was rescued.So that then leaves part 2, the newest one which is easily the best. They add an unexpected twist. All of me and my friends were so excited and hyperventilating at the most awesomest bit ever and couldn't get over how good it was. It is definatley my favourite film, perhaps drawing with some others. It is literally amazing and a definate for.anyone!!!

How To Tie a Tie

An awful lot of people want to know how to tie a tie. So heres how:
The instructions for tying a four-in-hand knot are shown below. We assume that you are right-handed in the following instructions. The figures below are mirror images. They are what you will see if you stand in front of a mirror.

2. Cross the wide end over the other end. Now three regions are formed (Left, Right and Center).








3. Bring the wide end underneath the narrow end from Left to Right.








4. Bring the wide end over from Right to Left.








5. Bring the wide end under the knot to the Center region.








6. Bring the wide end down and pass the loop in front. Ensure that the knot is tightened.






7. Use one hand to pull the narrow end down gently and use the other hand to move the knot up until it reaches the center of the collar.

Guide to good parenting

An expectant mother? A mum with difficult kids? Read this article to find out how to create the good child.   Me, being a  young citizen, has a unique insight into what different techniques of parenting effects children.  So, lets start with the DOS:

•   One of the most important things a parent can do is give your child lots of love, be proud of them and support them in their hobbies and interests.
• When they are young, supervise them and make sure they have a good homecooked diet.
• Try and make them responsible for something to make them ready for being responsible as an adult. e.g A small pet.
• If they misbehave, be firm with what they are and aren't allowed to do. This will teach them to behave and follow the law when they are older.
• Be understanding- empathetic.
• Inspire them- set a good example.
• Be sure to give them privileges when they are good to teach them whats right and what they will get treats for.
• In courage your child/ren to get involved in a variety of activities/ clubs so that they are more set up for life and can find out what they enjoy.
• Make sure your child has appropriate clothes for each season that are cosy and that fit.
• As your child grows give them some freedom, especially when they are teenagers. Make sure you know where they are at all times though.

And the DON'TS:

• Don't physically or mentally harm your child/ren. For example, do not hit them, call them ugly or tell them they are nothing. This will have disastrous effects when they are older and could lead them on to get into drugs, self harm and murder.
• Don't ignore your child/ren. Listen to everything they have to say else they won't trust you or tell you if somethings wrong because they think you won't listen. This also could lead to terrible things.
• Don't lose your rag- getting super angry will not help the situation and you may accidently harm your child without wanting too especially if they are young. It will probably, if they are a teenager, make them angry too.
• Don't ever leave your child at home alone under the age of 13. 13 and overs should be allowed if they ask. They are responsible and may get annoyed or angry if they are told what they can and can't do.
• Don't shout in your childs face.....ever. Young children would get scared and would be frightened of you. Older children will also get very angry and shout back creating an avoidable argument.
• Don't spoil your child. Don't give them lots of priveledges for nothing. They will demand things for the rest of thier lives because they think they can get it.
• Don't be unreasonable. Your child will follow your example.

Why your mum can be very very annoying- teenagers

Mothers. They are in fact, the reason you are alive today. They gave birth to you, fed you, clothed you, listened to your persistent screams, given you advice and loved you every step of the way.  So why, then, is she also the most frustrating person you know?
Everyone has argued with their mum at least once. However, for most of us, it's an awful lot more than that. There are just some things they don't understand:

• Teens need personal space- Having your mother constantly enter your room, want to do stuff with you and always getting in the way is very fustrating, even though she may only mean well. This may result in an argument where you Mum may think that teens are in the wrong. However, teens, it is simply the fact of not having enough space. We've all been there.
• Freedom! - Teenagers need freedom. To be able to go to parties, out with friends, to the park... whatever. Mums do not understand this. While your mum might be quite lenient, there will be those certain things that really wind you up, such as not being allowed to go on the train on your own, when all your friends can! Before throwing a tantrum, think about it. Your Mum is only trying to keep you safe. If you really think its unfair, do a PowerPoint, email them, do anything apart from getting in a tizz. Parents really hate it and it won't get you anywhere.
• Growing up Teenagers are naturally moody. Its the way you are changing as you grow. Before blowing your top think about it and try and have a mature conversation about whatever. If you don't get results, then BAM; most just get very angry, me included. I've been there. Mums don't seem to remember what it was like to be in that situation when they were your age. Growing
• Growing up more As boys/girls become a bigger part of your life, your Mum may not come to terms with that, as in her eyes, you are still her child. Getting your first boyfriend/girlfriend and then telling your mum, can be very hard. She'll tell you that your not old enough, that your not responsible enough... etc. Well, instead of keeping it a secret, just tell her. Maybe at first she'll be annoyed but soon, she might realise that your growing up, that your no longer her child.
• Fighting - Fighting (especially boys) does happen throughout teenage years. Whether it with siblings or friends, relatives or your parents, some things can really annoy you that your Mum can be angry about. I always used to fight with my siblings both physically and verbally.

Conclusion: Although your mum is the one who love you the most, she also doesn't understand you in many other ways.
