Call us, helplines urge troubled teens

They would rather not confide in strangers.
They would first talk to their parents,friends,teachers.

They prefer to help the youth through direct, effective means, such as educational workshops in schools, face-to-face counselling and home visits.

2) Have you confided in your friends or family members about the problems you face in school/ life? Why or why not?
Yes. As i think that the most trustable and the person whom i trust most is my friends and family. But i will choose family over friends, as nobody is closer to you than your family members.

Have you been betrayed by your friends before? If yes, how? (You may change the names of the people involved for privacy)
Yes. G and B is togeher for a few months.
When G decided to break with B,

PM's 4 BASIC RULES FOR RELIGIOUS HARMONY

1a) What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?
1st rule : All groups have to exercise tolerance and restraint.
2nd rule : Keep religion seperate from politics.
3rd rule : Government must remain secular.
4th rule : Mantain the common space that all Singaporeans share.

b) In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
By mixing with people from other religion, accepting the differences among us and respecting them.

2) Do you respect other religions? Why or why not?
Yes. As they are my friends. I accept the fact that they are different from me. Even though we are different, but we can share the same common too. People from different religion does not mean that we are totally different.

What do you think of children who stay away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion?
I think that they are inhuman. As the funeral is not some other people but their own parents! How can they stay away from the funeral when its their parents?! They are so irresponsible. Their parents raised them so hardly yet, because of the new religion they had they did not attend the funeral.

Term 1,Week 7 (16 Feb 09)

Q1) Why Coral Secondary School forbids students to idle around near their school in their school uniform?

As the Principal thinks that Coral Sec places much emphasis on inculcating in their students good habits like using their time prudently,so it is their interest not to loiter in the malls after school.

Q2) Do you agree with this rule?Explain your answer.

No.As sometimes after school we meet our primary school friends,and cannot find a proper place to chat with them.What if someone precious to you is dying and is in the hospital now,are you still going to go home and change?by the time you reach there,your loved one will be gone not awhile but FOREVER~!!It will be so unfair to the person so i think that Coral Secondary School should not have this rule.

No Loitering After School (IN! pg 7)
Q1) Why Coral Secondary School forbids students to idle around near their school in their school uniform?
- The school emphasis on time management. The school wants their students to manage their time well so that they will not waste time by slacking in neighbourhoods or anywhere.

Q2) Do you agree with this rule? Explain your answer
- No, even if they don't allow the students to slack or shop around, they should let them buy food back. Some students have to go home and change, and buy food and go back home again. This is wasting much more time. And the school claims that they emphasis on time management. So they should allow the students to buy food from Whitesands shopping mall in school uniform.

When Jack Neo is serving the nation he's vocation is to do business.
