January 30, 2012 - 16:33 - 2 comments

Education is the Key!

January 23, 2012 - 11:02 - 1 comment

How many times have we heard this phrase being thrown at us over and over again? Plenty, but despite it we can’t deny agreeing with it! Being educated is quite different than having an education. What separates them apart is the knowledge to practice your learnt capabilities in your field of work.

Who does not know what Facebook is these days, really? If you do not have a Facebook account you have friends who keep you updated with what is going. But these days it’s hard to think of a teenager not being on Facebook.

Town Teens’ Views on Town Clock

November 7, 2011 - 15:25 - 5 comments

We have heard complaints, we have seen a protest and strikes on the television, comments and remarks on the newspaper - adults against the big clock to be put on the middle of the front street. Every adult has had a say in this except for us youths. So this is why I decided to ask my fellow friends: “What do you think about the town clock?

The Sweetness Factor

September 8, 2011 - 13:43

We all know what makes our ice cream sweet. We know when our coffee has been over sweetened and what’s wrong with too many sweet cookies? But is your boyfriend/girlfriend sweet? Perhaps she/he cooks a dinner for you; you call each other every minute just to say I love you; your boyfriend gives you flowers every once in a while or when he tells you are the only girl for him without lying!

Am I beautiful?

April 26, 2011 - 00:00 - 5 comments

The media, magazines, television programs, movies, portray what good looking and beautiful IS!! But they are wrong. As beautiful as they might seem, the real fixation is that they are Photoshopped. I’m not saying all, however most of them. In such cases teens believe “OH IF I’M NOT SKINNY I’M NOT BEAUTIFUL”. Don’t get me wrong either.

Bullying

You probably saw it on the news or on Facebook – a poor timid school boy being punched in the face by a bully! After the poor kid had had enough, he picked up the bully and body slammed him onto the floor. And after his actions, the school was planning on punishing the boy who was being bullied. Isn’t that crazy? The poor kid had enough of the physical abuse and decided to fight back.

The Evils of Gossip!

January 18, 2011 - 09:53 - 4 comments

GOSSIP can fill your life with more intrigue than a feature film. When our parents were in their teens, the latest buzz was most often spread by word of mouth. Today, though, gossip has gone high-tech. Armed with e-mail and instant messaging, a boy or a girl with malicious intent can tarnish your reputation without even speaking a word. All it takes is a few keystrokes to send a vicious rumor on its way to dozens of eager recipients.

New Year's Resolution

December 28, 2010 - 13:42

THE NEW YEAR for most people is for a new beginning, a new life, a new change.   Most teens look forward for new opportunities in making better decisions, better choices, and most of all starting a better life free from all the wrong and silly mistakes we do.  Most of us wait for this special time to improve our behavior in order to get along with our friends, perhaps our teachers and our surrounding especially with our parents.  The other percentage of teens takes this opportunity to commit themselves in one way or another in something that they believe in.  Some o

We don't care that Mary found a lonely brown cow on her farm.
We don't care that you're having yet another fight with your boyfriend.

We got on Face book to connect with your real life, hear about your triumphs, how great you are doing in school, news about your family, not about your "life" as some kind of monster who keeps posting how hungry you are or if you just tripped over a rock.

In light of the recent murder of the stewardess from Spain and the stabbing of a gentleman at/near a local bar, much attention is being given to crimes on our Island.  It's not that it is out of hand, but we in San Pedro do not like to hear of "any" criminal activity in San Pedro whatsoever.
