School Violence, Drugs and The Devil's Brew!

School Violence, Drugs and The Devil's Brew!
By Bob Alexander

To my slightly used brain it doesn't appear that there is any real sanity in the world today, much less in the hallways of our schools. Kids today are not really a lot different from the ones I knew back in my high school years, except they have a few more challenges than I did when I was a teen.

While we had alcohol, we didn't have to deal with it because we knew our parents would deal with us if they found that we were even in the presence of the devil's brew. Growing up a good Southern Baptist, my mother believed that imbibing in beer, wine or whiskey was a mortal sin. As a result, the kids of my crowd in high school didn't have much contact with drinking.

Drugs definitely were not a problem at our old high school, probably because most of us didn't know anything about them. All we knew about heroin was what we saw on the huge screen at the drive-in and judging from the hell addicts on the screen were enduring, it didn't seem to be worth the effort to even experiment with such a thing.

We wouldn't have known where to find it even if we'd wanted to give it a try. Drugs, to us, were something the doctor gave you when you broke your arm or when the dentist was going to pull a tooth. We weren't bombarded every day with television programming depicting dopers and drugs.

School violence today is a very scary concern for students and parents alike. There are many reasons for young people to kill each other today, but most of them have to do with drugs. In the high school years of my past, there was only one reason for a fight, always with fists and never with a gun or knife. Girls!

If violence had erupted in school yards back then, it would have been because of a girl! A guy's honor had to be avenged if there had been a perceived encroachment into the vows of "going steady." There was a lot of posturing back then, but I can't remember a single fight. I would have remembered one, if only for the entertainment value.

The same thing happens today, just as it has since the beginning of time. But girls today are different. They're all movie stars! Girls back then simply didn't look as they do today. If today's girls had appeared on our school yards, we would have thought they'd gotten there by way of a time machine! Violence is certainly more serious than it was at my old high school.

I can't remember there ever being a serious fight from the time I was in the first grade until I graduated from high school. Sure, there was a certain amount of posturing by boys during that time, but I can't recall a single punch being thrown. Maybe there was violence, but since it wasn't scattered all over television, we never knew about it.

There was a menacing collection of characters that was called the rock gang, assumingly because they sat on a rock wall on the edge of the school ground, jeering and taunting anyone who walked within shouting distance. After a while they became more of a joke than a threat.

Today's' school shootings appear to have much darker motives than someone's love life being toyed with by an outsider. Reasons for these atrocities range from someone emptying a shotgun into a crowded classroom because they were failing algebra, to slaughtering classmates in the hallway because the devil told them to do it!

A lot has been written about our "troubled teens", but I can only recall one guy that you could classify as "troubled". His nickname was Nickel Nelson because everyone he approached he shouted at them to "Gimme a nickel!" He would then roll his eyes, shake maniacally, then spit on the ground and shriek, "Gimme a nickel!" Everyone gave him a nickel! Twenty years later I heard that he owned a large Chevy dealership in Kentucky, an AA baseball team, hockey team and a Division II Arena football team. He was our most "Troubled Teen". Who knew?

Preparing For Prom Without Stressing Out

Preparing For Prom Without Stressing Out
By Jessica Spinner

You don't have to be told that prom requires a lot of planning and preparation. Although prom plans can sometimes seem more important than studying for a test and tend to creep to the top of your to do list, it doesn't mean prom planning has to stress you out. The trick is to start early and stay organized.

That may be easier said than done. So, in case you feel lost as to how to even begin planning for your prom, here's a checklist of some of the common things needed to have arranged prior to prom night:

Several months in advance - note:these activities are most important to take care of early on because there is a good chance other schools in your city will have prom the same weekend as you, and such things as limousines and beach houses are limited. To get the dress or hotel room you want, you must act early.

• Choose your prom group and make a commitment to that group - Whether you're planning to go with just your date or arrange a group party for prom, it's important to get yourself included early on before any set arrangements get made
• Find a prom dress and shoes - Shopping early is a good idea in case you can't find a dress you like and you decide to custom-make something or the dress doesn't fit right and you need it altered
• Decide mode of transportation - If you want to rent a limousine or party bus, begin researching various companies and decide which one will fit your budget, then go ahead and make a reservation
• Post-party spot - This element of prom is usually the most expensive aspect of your prom planning, so renting a beach house or reserving a hotel room should definitely be a top priority in the early part of your prom planning

Month or so in advance

• Make pre-party arrangements - It's a good idea to get your group together prior to prom to take pictures and celebrate. Hiring a caterer and finding reservations at a nice restaurant will become increasingly difficult as the date gets closer
• Hair and makeup appointments - Making an appointment at least a month in advance is necessary to be able to schedule these appointments in conjunction with each other (hair first, then makeup), not to mention every other senior girl in the city will be vying for that ideal appointment time

  • Makeup tip: get your makeup done at a cosmetic counter like Bobbi Brown in a department store - not only do they do a good job and are quick, but the makeover only costs what you want to pay - I suggest buying the lip gloss they used on you: not only is that one of the least expensive items, but it's also nice to have for touch-ups)

Week or so in advance

• Make sure your date has ordered the corsage and that the color and style of the corsage will go well with your dress (white is a classic choice)

  • Also, make sure the corsage has a band that will slip onto your wrist (you'd be surprised, there are corsages that come with just a ribbon and no band, so to avoid scrounging around for a safety pin, make sure your date is very specific when he orders the corsage)

Few days before

• Any additional beautifying activity you do (pedicure, eyebrow wax, facial) - Just in case something goes wrong, taking care of these things a few days in advance allows time for the redness to subside or to fix chipped nail polish

Feeling overwhelmed? Understandable. But prom is supposed to be a fun experience, so to rid yourself of some of the stress, just stay organized and find ways to ease some of the pressure you feel. Here are some tips:

To stay organized,

• Create deadlines for yourself - Something similar to the checklist above will help you define your priorities and stay on task
• Write down everything - It's important to keep track of all the information you have gathered because there will be millions of different times, prices, appointments, and people owing you money - so, to avoid confusion, just write it all down and you won't have to worry about forgetting what time the limo is coming

To ease some of that pressure,

• Include your prom date in on some of the planning - Delegate some of the work to him by saying, "You take care of the limo for us and I'll make sure we're all set for the beach house." He should be more than willing to help out (if not, then it might be time to get yourself a new prom date)
• Make sure everyone in your group is dependable and is constantly communicating the arrangements - If you're aware of what's going on, you'll feel in control and much less stressed
• Take a break, and don't think about prom for a week or so - There are other things in life than prom, and letting yourself step away from it all for a little while may help put it in perspective
• Remember that, if all else fails, the important thing is to be with friends - Even if forgetting to reserve the limo means that your mom has to drive you to prom, think of it this way: you'll be the one with the "my mom drove me to my prom" story that you and your friends will laugh about for years to come. And isn't that what prom is really all about anyway?

Your World with a Troubled Teen

Your World with a Troubled Teen
By Amy Sherman

Chaos, confusion and conflict. These are the dimensions of a troubled teen's world. How do you know if your teen is troubled or if he/she is just going through normal adolescence? You can ask yourself the following questions to get some insight:

1. Is your teen very secretive, evasive and unwilling to share aspects of his/her personal life?

2. Does he/she display outbursts of anger that seem irrational, unreasonable and unprovoked?

3. Is there a sudden change in his/her peer relationships and are you unfamiliar with this new group?

4. Does he/she act out in school, get in trouble with police or defy authority figures?

5. Has there been a change in grades or has your child lost interest in activities once enjoyed?

6. Do you suspect drug/alcohol use based on his/her extreme erratic behavior or bizarre appearance?

7. Is there noticeable weight gain or loss or changes in eating habits?

A positive answer to any of these does not mean your child is in trouble. However, if these signs and symptoms persist, you may want to educate yourself about one or more of the following disorders: depression, oppositional defiance, eating disorders and mood disorders.

As the parent of a troubled teen, you need to be extremely responsible and attentive. Do not let someone else teach your child "the ropes," especially if it's someone who may not have their best interest in mind. Familiarize yourself with their language, the websites they frequent (My Space, Face Book), so you can be alert to any negative influences or even sites that may put them in danger.

Do not give up on them. Teens tend to test your patience until they wear you out. Be aware that you are often manipulated by their creative ways of getting what they want. Teens really want your attention, whether positive or negative, but they also need your guidance. You are always the parent, but your approach should not alienate or shut yourself out of your child's life. Speak to your teen in a fair, but firm tone, while redefining the expectations and consequences for breaching the rules. This will offer consistency and structure and help them be responsible for their actions, attitudes and emotions.

Sentence Game

Sentence Game
By Jessica Gerald

1. Make three or four sets of alphabet cards ahead of time. There should be one letter on each card. Shuffle them and put them face down in a pile.

2. Decide on the length of the sentence. For example, if students are fifth graders, the average age would be ten. So put ten blank lines on the board. Each blank line stands for a word.

3. Each student has a paper and pencil on his desk. The students draw the same number of lines on their papers. The whole class works on this at the same time.

4. Call on one student to pick a letter card. Let's say he chooses a "g". He may go to the board and put it at the beginning of any of the blank lines.

5. All the students must put that same letter on the same blank line at their seats.

6. Repeat this process until there is a letter at the beginning of each line. There will now be letters to begin ten words. See the diagram below.

m_____ o_____ g_____ b_____ e_____ s_____ p_____ n_____ l_____ t_____

7. Next, the students must create words that start with each of those letters, and the words must make a complete sentence that makes sense. You may want to say that no names of people are allowed.

Here is a possible sentence for the above configuration. "My old grandfather began eating snap peas near lunch time."

8. The first student to finish and have a correct sentence is the winner of that round. He writes his sentence on the board for the class to see.

9. Shuffle the cards and start again until all students in the class have had a chance to pick a card.

Variations:

Home-school students could play this with a parent or sibling, and race to see who makes a sentence first. Don't fool yourself if you as a parent are trying to do this. It's not always easy!

Pick different lengths of sentences. Sometimes a short sentence can be more difficult to think of than a longer one.

Choose small rewards for the winners. Maybe they will get a free homework pass or a good behavior ticket.

The Green Child in a Green World

The Green Child in a Green World
By Marcia Brubeck

According to many doctors, children's behavioral malaise largely reflects diagnosable medical problems. But do people (adults or children) exist principally in isolation, or do we live largely in relationship to other humans and to our environment? In Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder (Chapel Hill: Algonquin Books, 2005), Richard Louv observes that everyone needs nature, that children are being cut off from it, and that the resulting alienation is disastrous both for the individual and for society as a whole.

Scientific, medical, and historical sources, including published research and interviews, help Louv show that people have an innate affinity for nature and respond positively to it. When we absorb ourselves in the technological world to the exclusion of all else, we give up precious opportunities for physical and emotional exercise. We lose a sense of proportion. In the process we grow fat and increase our vulnerability to mental and physical stress.

Louv writes, "Although countless children who suffer from mental illness and attention disorders do benefit from medication, the use of nature as an alternative, additional, or preventive therapy is being overlooked. In fact, new evidence suggests that the need for such medications is intensified by children's disconnection from nature" (p. 48). Some studies show that children are better able to focus and pay attention when they spend more time outside. Could attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) be a set of symptoms aggravated by deprivation? Woe unto the pharmaceutical industry if so.

With or without drugs, nature heals humans. Just consider a few of Louv's many points in this book:

• Teenagers are able to focus and calm down after viewing natural images, for example, when they study or play in rooms with a view of nature.
• Children work through problems by playing outdoors, interpreting natural sights and sounds in ways that reflect their inner experience (one child may see a mound of earth as a pregnant belly, for instance, another, as a grave).
• A piece of landscape-preferably messy and ungroomed-affords children almost unlimited learning opportunities and ways of expressing themselves. The exercise of building a simple tree house teaches many practical skills.
• Nature lets people escape from troubling issues without leaving the real world; outdoor education programs have amply demonstrated their therapeutic value for youth.

When we stop experiencing the environment directly, we feel less personally involved in the world. The boob tube, the Game Boy, the iPod, and their cousins isolate us in a virtual prison cell. Portable technology lets us manipulate our immediate surroundings while preventing us from seeing how we fit in.

Nature soothes us. It also nurtures our innate inventiveness and creativity. It instills a dynamic awareness of our relationship with place and with our senses. It gives us ecstatic moments and reminds us that human beings are not the center of the universe but, as living organisms, only part of its fabric. If people need nature and need to remember that we are part of it, why have we distanced ourselves from it?

Perhaps we suffer from a fear of danger fed by a lack of knowledge. For example, when we recognize and name common plants and animals found in the wild, we have a way of knowing them. Today's children often do not have such knowledge. And yet stewardship of the earth can hardly be entrusted to a generation of citizens with no information about it.

As parents and members of the community, we adults shoulder much of the responsibility for educating children. Kids need unstructured time in nature. The great outdoors offers them chances to develop confidence in their own instincts and to learn how to assess and manage risks. Where do we start? Families can go hiking, camping, and fishing. Schools can provide children with hands-on, intimate contact with the earth and living things. Teachers can take students outside, engage them in gardening, invite them to explore and discover. Schools can also open their doors to local, national, and international efforts to broaden children's awareness.

Children who appreciate nature will live in the world differently, Louv suggests. People who understand animals more fully-their thought processes and habits-notice not only their astonishing complexity but also their similarity to humans. As we humans become more aware of our dependence on nature for our mental health, we become more open to the need for peaceful coexistence with other forms of life. As long as we try to subdue the earth, we prepare for our own destruction. When we live in harmony with other beings, we awaken physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

ical, Ecological and Green Children's Books

Ethical, Ecological and Green Children's Books
By Cara Louise

So why do we need ethical, ecological and green children's books?

Well, we only need switch on the TV to see the mess that current and previous generations have made of a beautiful planet - climate change, pollution, exploitation of natural resources, decimation of plant and animal species - the list is endless.

What if every child on the planet grew up believing the Earth is a sacred place and treated every nook, cranny, field, mountain, river, stream and ocean as such?

What if every child respected the natural world and every animal and planet which lives upon it?

Would Planet Earth of the Future then become a paradise, rather than a rubbish tip?

This is the vision which inspires me to write children's books.

Exciting stories about magical people and places, about how the people of ancient civilisations perhaps understand rather more than we do about the necessity of preserving the land for future generations can give us ideas about how to make our world a better place.

Stone circles, standing circles, secret codes, ley lines UFOs, ghosts, legends, lost treasure, tumuli, haunted places, ancient civilisations.

All of these open a window onto a more magical world - a vision of the past, the present - and the future still to be created by the children of today for the children of tomorrow.

Let us spin stories from the threads of yesterday and weave a greener, brighter and more magical world for the days which are yet to come.

Sports Physicals For Children

Sports Physicals For Children
By Andre Zayas

Many parents in Van Zandt place a strong emphasis on sports with their children. They may feel that the lessons their child learns about cooperation and sportsmanship will serve them well later in life. Other parents simply want their child to be successful in a sport possibly because they were or they wish that they were. Regardless of the reasons, many Van Zandt schools require that a child receive a sports physical prior to participation.

Why is a sports physical so important to a Van Zandt child prior to participating in a sport? The answer is quite simple. Sports require quite a bit of physical activity that is sometimes strenuous. Because of the risks that are involved, the coaches and the school will want to feel confident that every child that participates is healthy and at the lowest risk possible for injury. Without that assurance, the liability is too high and many schools cannot afford the risks.

There is little to fear for a Van Zandt child receiving a sports physical. The physical itself does not involve anything that is invasive such as shots. In fact, this type of appointment is generally quite simple. The nurse practitioner will make note of the child's weight and any illnesses or disabilities that the child may have that may possibly hinder participation in a sport or that can become a factor in that participation. Several other things will be noted such as blood pressure, heart rate and even breathing capacity. Some of these things can cause issues for a child participating in sports even at an elementary school level.

If your child is entering the sports community, the nurse practitioner can provide your child with the Van Zandt sports physical your child needs to set your school's fears at ease.

What Misconceptions Are About Bullying?

What Misconceptions Are About Bullying?
By Bertil Hjert

The truly understanding what bullying is will help to stop and prevent it. Because of the possibility of physical and emotional injury, all cases of bullying must be taken seriously.

Here you can read about some misconceptions about bullying:

- Bullies have low self esteem

A misconception is that bullies have low self esteem. Many bullies are popular and very confident. Bullies are not the unconfident kids trying to make up for their problems. Bullying may actually be a way that kids try to dominate others and assert their power.

They want to fit in with their friends and use bullying to achieve this. Often they act in conjunction with the friends. It is also a way to control and impress their friends, although in the wrong way.

- Victims should toughen up

Bullying is a normal part of childhood and the victims should just toughen up is a common stereotypical view and the biggest misconception. To think in this way can have serious consequences for both victims and bullies.

It should not be tolerated and letting a bully continue picking on others just reinforces their behavior and sets them up to continue making poor choices for the rest of their lives. The victims can also suffer from low self esteem, depression, and a poor self image.

- Bullying only in high class schools

This occurs only in lower class neighbourhoods and schools. This is not the case, and plenty of bullying cases occur in high class neighbourhoods and schools. Bullying can occur no matter what socioeconomic class a child is in. Many upper-class schools have bullying problems because children feel as though they are better than others and try to show how much power they have over children they perceive as weaker than them.

- Bullying is most common in high school

Another misconception is that bullying most commonly occurs in high school rather than in younger children. Studies have shown that bullying occurs at all ages but the most common ages are in middle school, not high school and elementary.

Children from 9-13 years old are the most likely ages to bully. Children in this age group are just beginning to face stress in school and the pressure to fit in, so bullying becomes a common way cope with these problems.

- Boys are the only kids that bully

Boys are the only kids that bully is also wrong. In fact boys are bulling more than girls. However girls can also be bullies. Bullying among boys is often physical where girls tend to use emotional bullying by saying mean things and spreading rumours to humiliate people. Both types of bullying can have devastating effects on bullying victims and leave them with self esteem problems and a lifetime of insecurity.

- Bullying target is to demean a person

Many people think that remarks made with bullying most commonly target intelligence and are meant to demean a person. Experts mean that the most common insults are about a kids perceived sexual orientation. As ridiculous as it sounds, this is the most common thing kids tease each other about.

- Bullying is not a big deal

Many parents think that bullying is normal and is no big deal, but once they know how serious it can be they will be more concerned.

Parents and teachers working together is the best way to stop bullying and help a bullying victim. Parental involvement is also important to solve the problem. Addressing both the bullying victim and the bully is the best way to prevent bullying in your school.

How to Keep The Stress of Sports Participation From Affecting Your Kids

How to Keep The Stress of Sports Participation From Affecting Your Kids
By Scott Becker

Athletics is a big part in the life of a kid. And, no matter what the sport they always seem to have a good time. Kids get to play in all sorts of sports from dodge ball and kick ball to tag, hopscotch, four corners and jump rope to more traditional and competitive sports like football, soccer, hockey and baseball.

However, in today's society there is a problem. More and more emphasis is being put on athletics then there was ten or twenty years ago. This is due, in part, by big money contracts as well as the decline in jobs and income. Families in poverty-stricken areas of the country rely on their children's athletic prowess to bring them up from the ghetto. This way of thinking makes children spend more time worrying about their performance than education - athletics being more of a "quick fix" solution.

Coaches sometimes push student-athletes because winning games means they get to keep their jobs and feed their families. Sports bring more money into the school than any other curriculum. A good coach will try to maintain a proper balance between pressure and the challenge of the sport. People need challenge in order to push themselves to improve upon the tools they already possess. Parents and Coaches can push their kids too far though by setting unrealistic expectations. After all, if it was easy - everyone would be playing in the NFL or the NBA.

Unfortunately, winning is not something every player can achieve. How hard they play is the only thing that the player has any real control over. Parents and coaches neglect this aspect of sports and fail to reward hard work.

Trying to juggle a busy athletic season with school is another stress factor. If you are a parent who likes that your child is active in a sport that is great unless their school work suffers. This can cause a tremendous amount of stress and both school and sports will both suffer in the end.

Being able to manage the stress of school and sports is not very easy to do. Realizing that sports are not as important as schooling is the best thing that one can do. You can go to college, get a degree and a great job. The likelihood of someone making it in professional sports is very slim and should not be an emphasis over education.

The long term effects of participation in various sports by young people growing up can be very positive. Self-esteem and discipline can all benefit greatly. However, sports have to be taken for exactly what they are "an extra-curricular activity". If the child excels at sports, then support the important aspects of it such as fair play and hard work. Too many kids are lost in today's world because they placed or had placed on them a higher value towards sports than education.

Internet Safety for Kids

Internet Safety for Kids
By Kem Edwards

Surfing the internet is fun and a great learning experience for kids but, there are a few do's and don'ts. Let's talk about what's a good idea and what's not when you're on the web.

First, we live in a world where most people have good intentions, but we also live in a world where some people only want to cause harm. This means they want to hurt kids.

If you're on a chat room or sending an email, never include your personal information including your name, your phone number, your home address, or even where you go to school. And, never send a picture of yourself to someone you don't know. Always ask permission from your parents before you send anyone a picture of yourself.

If you read something on the internet that makes you feel uneasy or uncomfortable, tell your parents right away. And, never download anything with permission from your parents.

Next, it's a very bad idea and can be dangerous to meet someone or have them meet you without permission from your mom or dad. Always remember that people you meet on the internet may not be the person they say they are. You may think you're exchanging messages with a girl or boy your age when you may actually be speaking to an adult.

While the internet is a fun place to meet your friends and a great way to learn new things, always follow the do's and dont's we've just discussed. This will make the internet a safe place.
