Friends !!! I got something to share with you guys !!!
Everyone gets sad. Yes, everyone you've ever met.
Some people have sad feelings just once in a while, and others may have sad feelings pretty often.
More than half of teenagers go through a sad period at least once a month and plenty of younger kids do, too.
When you're in a sad mood, it may feel like it will last forever, but usually feelings of sadness don't last very long
- a few hours or maybe a day or 2.
A deeper, more intense kind of sadness that lasts a lot longer is called depression (say: dih-preh-shun).
What Is Sadness?
When you're sad, the world may seem dark and unfriendly.
When sadness starts to go away,
Most of the time, sadness is because of a loss or separation,
Loss and Separation
Disappointments
Disappointments like losing a game you hoped to win,
Relationships
Relationships bring happiness and fun most of the time.
More Stuff That Makes Kids Sad
When Is Sadness a Problem?
If a sad feeling goes on for too long, hurts too deeply, and makes it hard for you to enjoy the good things about your life, it's called depression.
Here are some of the signs and symptoms of depression:
- feeling empty or numb
- feeling hopeless (like there's nothing to look forward to)
- feeling guilty or worthless
- feeling lonely or unloved
- feeling irritable and annoyed a lot (every little thing gets on your nerves)
- feeling like things are not fun anymore
- having trouble keeping your mind on schoolwork or homework or getting bad grades
-having trouble keeping your mind on things like reading or watching TV or not remembering what a book or a TV show was about
- having less energy and feeling tired all the time
- sleeping too much or not enough
- not eating enough and weight loss or eating too much and weight gain
- thinking about death or thinking about suicide
- spending less time with friends and more time alone
- crying a lot, often for no reason
- feeling restless (being unable to sit still or relax)
- having certain body feelings, like lots of stomachaches, headaches, or chest pain
People who have depression may not know it.
Often it's a parent or teacher who notices behavior changes like the ones in the list above.
Depression can run in families.
When children have depression
it is usually coming from a long period of sadness after the loss of someone really close, such as a parent;
long-lasting problems at home,
including violence, illness, divorce, or alcohol or drug use;
child abuse or neglect; rape; and long-term illness, burns, or accidents.
But sometimes kids may be depressed for no apparent reason.
Now how do you feel after reading it ???
Do you want to know how can you improve your study ?
Then you must read this . . .
- Pay attention in class.How did you learn how to ride your bike?
Someone probably gave you a few lessons and then you practiced a lot.
You can learn how to study in much the same way.
No one is born knowing how to study.
You need to learn a few study skills and then practice them.
Why work on your study skills? It will make it easier for you to learn and do well in class,
especially as you move up to middle school and high school.
Here are six steps to smarter studying:
- Take good notes.
- Plan ahead for tests and projects.
- Break it down. (If you have a bunch of stuff to learn, break it into smaller chunks.)
- Ask for help if you get stuck.
- Get a good night’s sleep!
Pay Attention: Good Studying Starts in Class
Here’s a riddle for you: Did you know that before you even begin studying,you've already started? Huh? Here’s what we mean.
When you pay attention in class and take good notes,
you are starting the process of learning and studying.
Do you have trouble paying attention in class?
Are you sitting next to a loud person?
Is it hard to see the board?
Make sure you're sitting in a good seat that lets you pay attention.
Tell your teacher or parents about any problems that are preventing you from paying attention and taking good notes.
2. Good Notes = Easier Studying
Not sure how to take notes?
Start by writing down facts that your teacher mentions or writes on the board during class.
Try your best to use good handwriting so you can read your notes later.
It’s also a good idea to keep your notes, quizzes, and papers organized by subject.
The End ~~~ So how do you feel after reading it ?
Some girls will like to know more about breast cancer thing ^^
Why Do People Get Breast Cancer?
Any woman can get breast cancer,
but doctors have found that certain factors make some women more likely to get it.
family history: A woman whose mother, sister, aunt, or daughter has had breast cancer is more likely to get breast cancer.
diet and lifestyle choices: Women who smoke, eat high-fat diets, drink alcohol, and don't get enough exercise may be more at risk for developing breast cancer.
So girls must do more exercise don't stay at home doing nothing ^^
You might think of going to your doctor as something you do only when you're sick or maybe
What Happens During a Sports Physical
There are two main parts to a sports physical: your medical history and the physical exam.
Your medical history includes questions about illnesses and injuries you have had,
Kids exercise all the time without even thinking of it.
Just being active, like when you run around outside or play kickball at school, is a kind of exercise.
What else counts as exercise?
Playing sports,
dancing, doing push-ups, and even reaching down to touch your toes.
When you exercise, you're helping build a strong body that will be able
to move around and do all the stuff you need it to do.
Try to be active every day and your body will thank you later!
Exercise Makes Your Heart Happy
You may know that your heart is a muscle.
It works hard, pumping blood every day of your life.
You can help this important muscle get stronger by doing aerobic (say: air-o-bik) exercise.
means "with air," so aerobic exercise is a kind of activity that requires oxygen.
When you breathe, you take in oxygen, and, if you're doing aerobic exercise,
you may notice you're breathing faster than normal.
Aerobic activity can get your heart pumping, make you sweaty,
and quicken your breathing.
When your give your heart this kind of workout on a regular basis,
your heart will get even better at its main job
- delivering oxygen (in the form of oxygen-carrying blood cells) to all parts of your body.
So you want to do some aerobic exercise right now? Try swimming, basketball, ice or roller hockey, jogging (or
walking quickly), in-line skating, soccer, cross-country skiing, biking, or rowing. And don't forget that skipping,
jumping rope, and playing hopscotch are aerobic activities, too!
Exercise Strengthens Muscles
Another kind of exercise can help make your muscles stronger.
Did you ever do a push-up or swing across the monkey bars at the playground?
Those are exercises that can build strength.
By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger.
For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.
Here are some exercises and activities to build strong muscles:
- push-ups
- pull-ups
- tug-of-war
- rowing
- running
- in-line skating
- bike riding
Exercise Makes You Flexible
Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch?
Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies without much trouble.
This kind of exercise often feels really good,
like when you take a big stretch in the morning after waking up.
Being flexible is having "full range of motion,"
which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
It's easy to find things to do for good flexibility:
- tumbling and gymnastics
- yoga
- dancing, especially ballet
- martial arts
- simple stretches, such as touching your toes or side stretches
Exercise Keeps the Balance
Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.
Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function,
breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff.
But if you're active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.
If you're not very active, your body won't need as many calories.
Whatever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need,
your body weight will stay about the same.
If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as excess fat.
Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy
- like running, jumping, and playing with your friends.
It's also fun to be good at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive.
But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood.
When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical called endorphins (say: en-dor-funz),
which may make you feel happier. It's just another reason why exercise is cool!
EXERCISE IS COOL ~~~
Glasses And Contact Lenses
Why do some people need glasses and others don't?
Everyone's eyes are a little different
- not just the color, but the way they work and how well they see.
Sometimes all the parts of the eye don't work together the way they should.
But eyeglasses or contact lenses, also called corrective lenses, can help most people see more clearly.
How Eyes Work
The eyeball includes the cornea (say: kor-nee-uh),
clear tissue that helps the eye focus; the iris, the colored part; the pupil,
which lets light into the eye; and the retina,
at the very back of the eye.
When all of the eyes' parts are working properly,
a kid doesn't have vision problems.
You can see because your eyes capture an image and send that image to your brain,
where it can be interpreted. For instance,
if there's an elephant in front of you, almost instantly,
your brain says,
"Hey, that's an elephant."
Your eyes need to bend light rays so the image can be focused sharply on your retina.
The better your retina records the image,
the more likely that your brain will interpret the image,
and the more likely you will see the image clearly.
Refracting is a big word that means bending light rays.
If a person has vision trouble, it's often a refractive problem.
Glasses or contact lenses work so well because they can correct refractive problems.
In other words, they bend the light rays in a way that lets you see more clearly.
Laser surgery also can correct some vision problems,
but it's not recommended for kids because they're still growing.
Nearsighted and Farsighted - Which Is Which?
Nearsightedness and farsightedness are common refractive problems.
It's easy to get the two confused.
Nearsighted means the person can see stuff that's near,
like a book, but has trouble seeing stuff that's far away.
Farsighted means the person can see stuff that's far away,
but has trouble seeing up close, like reading the print in a book.
In both cases, the image is not properly focused on the retina.
With nearsightedness, the image becomes focused in front of the retina.
With farsightedness, the image is focused behind the retina.
The shape of a person's eyeballs also can cause refractive problems.
Another refractive problem is called astigmatism (say: uh-stig-muh-tih-zum).
This means that the cornea is an uneven shape,
and it bends the light in different directions.
This can distort what a person sees and make things look blurry.
Glasses or contact lenses correct vision because they allow the eye to focus light in the right spot on the retina
- the spot that produces the clearest image.
Because everyone's eyes are different,
a pair of glasses that makes one person see wonderfully may look terribly blurry to another person.
You know this if you've ever tried on someone else's glasses!
If you need glasses or contact lenses, your doctor will write down your prescription.
In this case, a prescription doesn't mean medicine you'll pick up at the drugstore.
A vision prescription is a piece of paper with numbers on it.
The people who will make your glasses for you need these numbers to create lenses that will correct the way your eye bends light.
Remember, the target is right in the center of the retina.
Eye Exams
If you're having trouble with your vision,
your mom or dad can take you for an eye exam.
This might happen as part of your regular checkup at the doctor.
But you need to see a vision specialist if your parents or your doctor think you might need glasses.
You might see an ophthalmologist, optometrist, or an optician.
What's the difference?
An ophthalmologist is a doctor trained to treat vision problems who may also do eye surgery.
An optometrist is a licensed professional who specializes in eye exams and in figuring out the right prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses.
Opticians make or sell eyeglasses and contact lenses according to an ophthalmologist's or optometrist's prescription.
At your eye exam, you'll probably be asked to read from an eye chart.
This is the chart with letters in different sizes.
also might be asked to look at some text up close, like reading from a book.
These tests measure how well you see from close and from far away.
If you need glasses or contact lenses,
there's a special gizmo that lets you try a few different prescriptions
until you find the one that gives you the clearest vision.
It's kind of like a big pair of glasses, but a bunch of different lenses can be switched in and out really quickly.
The person doing your eye exam may switch between two different lenses and say,
"Like this or like this?"
You'll have to say which one looks clearest. If you're not sure, say so.
Remember, the idea is that you get the right prescription so your vision will be top-notch!
The Fun Part
If you're going to get glasses, it's time to pick frames. It can be fun to try these on.
Choose ones that are comfortable and sturdy. But also make sure you like them
- you'll be wearing them a lot!
The lenses themselves can be made of different materials, such as safety glass and plastic (polycarbonate).
Glass tends to be heavy and it can shatter.
Plastic scratches easily, but it's often the best choice for kids. If you play sports, you may want to ask about eyewear you can wear on the field.
With glasses, you'll also want to find out how to clean them properly.
And it helps if you have a glasses case and put them in it when you're not wearing them.
The last thing you want is to sit on your new glasses. Crunch!
If you're going to get contact lenses,
you'll get some advice from the ophthalmologist or optician about which kind will be best for you.
Some are disposable and others need to be cleaned.
When you learn which type you're going to get,
you can start becoming an expert in how to wear them safely and keeping them clean.
But the really fun part of new glasses or contact lenses is how well you can see.
They can make your whole world look better!
