Stalking

Stalking is unwanted attention by individuals or even by a group of people..It seems to have been first applied to the harassment of celebrities by strangers who were described as being obsessed. Stalking can be defined as the willful and repeated following, watching, and/or harassing of another person. Most of the time, the purpose of stalking is to attempt to force a relationship with someone who is unwilling or otherwise unavailable. Unlike other crimes, which usually involve one act, stalking is a series of actions that occur over a period of time.
When celebrities get stalked it is because the celebrities states where they live and where there are going to be in the day. We know a lot of things about celebrities, its just that some people turn that into something else. People like Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg and Gwyneth Paltrow. I'm sorry but celebrities must expect something from fans or "crazy people" as some people put it. If they didn't put their lives in the media all the time maybe they would not get any stalkers

There is a story on a television show called Emmerdale. This women is stalking a married man and she is taking pictures, raping him and even making his wife distrust him. This is very interesting, the reason for this is because it shows that everyday people can get stalked as well. A lot of time we only think of celebrities getting stalked but it just shows that everyday people can get stalked. To me it is weird- why would you want to stalk someone? Phoning, texting and even writing letters to someone on a daily basic is not right... I can see why people can go to prision. Here is a story about a women that got stalked in the UK:

Underage sex

Underage sex is something many people do. Underage sex is having sex under the age of 16. The laws for underage sex are very confusing; I mean if a girl between the ages of 13-15 has sex with an older guy, the guy could get 2 years in prison. I think that the way the law is dealing with this "crime" is silly. I mean if a girl younger than 16 thinks she is mature enough to have sex than what is the problem? I know many parents think children need to be ready but if people are in a loving relationship.. I don't agree with one night stand and people who are younger than 16 it is wrong.. how can people lose something that means a lot to the person. I think people should go to prison if the girl is really young but not if the girl is 14-15.....

I have read stories about children under the age of 16 having a baby and I think to have a baby underaged is wrong.. Should a girl or boy think they are old enough to be doing it, than they should be old enough to know they have to use a condom or any other kind of protection. There was a story in the paper last year about a 13 year old lad who got his 15 year old girlfriend pregtant and it turned out not be his but her 15 year old ex-boyfriend.

I remember my mum and dad swearing so I think a lot of people get it from others. I'm 19 and my mum still tells me off for swearing!! I think some people don't mind swearing where as others do. There is nothing wrong with searing. As silly as it sound but I would never swear in found of my nan...... just something that I would never do.

Commenting on blogs 2

If a girl as young as 13 feels that she is ready for sex who are we to judge! As for the story of the 13 year old "dad", that was sooo wrong as the kid looked about 7! And he was not even the dad! It just shows how wrong it can get for young children. It was worse for the parents of the young lad, how who you feel if ur child was having sex let alone have a baby.

Drugs




Drugs... are always going to be one of those topic that everyone has something to say about. There are lots of drugs out there. The government have tried to stop people using or selling drugs. There are three class of drugs: class A,B and C. These classes carry different penalties for possession and dealing. In the UK, there are laws about drugs, but this doesn't stop people. In the last decade, the number of people taking drugs has been around 18%.

I know a few people who take drugs on a day to day basis. I have nothing against people smoking or taking drugs! The only problem I have is when people who earn no money, live on benefits and buy drugs with that money. Also I hate how people pressure people into trying drugs. It's not fair on people who have made the decision not to take drugs!


This is a you tube video about how drugs can mess with your looks:

Infidelity

Infidelity happens everyday. Having affairs with other people when in a loving relationship. But we should look into the reasons why people cheat on others. How can you be in a loving relationship with someone who cheats on you? Many women take back men who cheat. Take Cheryl Cole in 2007, she took cheating Ashley Cole back only for him to do it again in 2010. Many women say ones a cheater always a cheater. But why do women like Cheryl Cole take these men back. For love...For money...





This is just an explain of a man cheating on a women, women can the same thing to men. As I'm writing this Mark Owen (Take that) has come out with cheating on his then girlfriend 10 times.... In the press men are normally pick up on their cheating. Why?? Women cheat too, Is it the fact that we might expected it from men not women?



I think men and women that cheat on a boyfriend and wifes are not in love with each other. I always think that if you take someone back after a "little affair" it will come back to bite you right the arse. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe if someone cheats they may never do it again but there is always that risk or dealt. How can you have a relationship with someone if there is no trust.... You are always going to be wondering where he or she is.. what they are doing.... why are they not home yet??

Shoplifting

Shoplifting is bad. I remember as a child taking sweets from the local supermarket the pick and mix. Many people who shop lift do it to gain more money!! Shop lifting happens more than people think. There are different types of shop lift amateur or professional. However a shoplifter can be any race, gender, age, social and economic background. There are a number of reason why someone would shoplift: no money for the things they want, greed, because it was easy the first time so I'll keep doing it, need money for drugs, someone can class this as their job and people think there will not get caught so I'll carry on.






Getting caught shoplifing can have bad effects on the family of the shoplifter. However if it is just a one time thing the person it likly to get a cauious. However if it is a long term thing, police could become involved which could have bad effects on the whole family. You could get a criminal record, get sent to prison and have a bad name for yourself. Other people that it could have a affect on is: the store owner and their family, workers at the store and yourself.


Shoplifting has been in the news a hell of a lot as we are in the middle of a recession. 20% more items beind stolen then ever before. With clothes being the highest item sloten form shops. Company are lossing an average £1,595.66 per ncident in the UK.

Kids movie (1995)

Kids has been controversial. The film includes explicit sexual dialogue, and depicts scenes of date rape, physical violence, drug dealing, theft, seduction of barely post-pubescent minors, and (non-explicit) teenage sexual displays, as well as (apparently) adolescent actors/actresses in near but not quite explicit exposure.


When we were talking about the film kids, I was sitting there thinking what the hell are we going to watch! When the movie was describe to us, it was not a movie that I would watch. I mean the basic outline is about a young boy that like de-flowering young girls.

When the film started, on the screen was a boy and a girl making out. Next thing we know he is trying to de-flower her and it got me thinking. It this what all boys do? Tell the girls a pack of lie just to get laid. As we got more into the film, I started to think. A lot of what was happening in the film happens every day in the UK.

The film had 5 different producation company produce these film and this was so that there was enough money to even make this film. Even with the film receiving mixed reviews on the film it grossed $7.4 million. I like the film and I can understand why it had a hard time. I think if it was released now, it would be easier to produce and it would make more at the box office. The reason for this is because it would not shock people as we have seen worse. I'm sure we have.

Drinking is good!

Everyone has had an drink right. However some people take it to0 far and start drinking ever day. Its like a buzz for some people. When coming to university I soon found myself drinking more that I would if I was at home. I think the reason for this is because going out drinking is a way of making friends, having stories to tell when going back home. Also I think its a way of telling people that you are having a good time when your not at home. There is a kind of peer pressure to go out and get really drunk so that you can't remember anything about the night before. However there is a problem with going out all the time, you can found yourself becoming depending on alcohol to get yourself through the day.



Here is an article about a lad that when to uni and found himself needing a drink everyday:

http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/ate/smokingalcoholdrugs/205278.html

Another problem with drinking a lot, is when people get in front of a wheel. Not just for the person behind the wheel but if that person crashes and kills someone than it will cause a lot of pain for both parties involved. Think of the family that have lost a child because of someones silly decsion to get in front of a wheel.

Here is a video of how us brits are trying to crack down on drink driving:


Here are a few tips when going out drinking:

Make sure you eat before you start drinking.
Don't be pressured into drinking too much.
Don't be forced into drinking too quickly.
Don't mix your drinks. Mixing drinks can make you more drunk than if you stick to one type of drink.
Make sure you know how you're getting home before you leave the pub.
To avoid someone spiking your drink, don't leave it unattended and don't accept drinks from strangers.



I'm not saying DON'T DRINk! I'm saying be responsible for what you do and look after each other when going out and don't even think about getting behind the wheel. Alot of lifes can be affected by one that one decision to drink and drive!

All about bullying

Bullying is something that happens everyday. Its not right and in a lot of cases it just name calling. The problem with name calling is that it can be harmless fun but to the person/ people they are calling, it can have a lasting effects. I remember when I was at school, children were bullied for not having the right kind of clothes, looking different ie being fat etc. I think people bully others becuse something is going wrong in their lives and to deal with their probelms they bully others. They think it makes them look good! There are many different ways to deal with bullying and in extreme cases some children kill themselves. To me I think its really hard to talk to an adult whether its a parent or a teacher. Many children believe that if a teacher is told it will get worse.

Bullying is a form of abuse. It is an act that involves people who are powerful abusing a person of a group of less powerful people. A lot of the time there is an imbalance of either social power or and physcial power. A lot of the time the victim is known as a target. There are three types of abuse emotional, verbal and physical. Bullying can happen at school, in the work place and even in the home.

Here is more information about bullying:

Smoking

Smoking is bad for everyone, even people who don't smoke, can still be damaged by cigarettes because of passive smoking. A lot of people don't realise the damage that they are doing to others. We have many articles about the damage but when do we listen to what people say? I mean a lot of people don't even listen to their parents. How can a big company that sell smoking materials get through to people even when pictures are put on to the packets of cigarettes. I think cigarette companies are hypocrites, I mean how can a company that make cigarettes tell someone the dangour of smoking them.

I have nothing wrong with people smoking. However when the smoke is blown in to my face, it makes me wonder how would that person feel if i blow a horrible smell in their face. I remember when my dad use to smoke and you would come in from school to a nasty smoke fulled room and all the net curtain turning a light yellow colour. Its not nice or fair on anyone.

Smoking for a long time can have affect on the person health. You are 10 times more likely to get Lung cancer if you smoke. All the major organs of your body are put under increased pressure by your habit. However anyone who smokes is allowed to do what there when to their body. So who are others to tell us what to do.

There are many get company trying to get people to stop smoking: http://smokefree.nhs.uk/ This is an NHS compain to get people to stop smoking.



This is a company that looks smoking ads:

This is very intesting as this company looks at everything to do with smoking and even looks a passive smoking.



Commenting on others blog!!

I can see where you are coming from! When anyone starts using drugs it can affect not just the actual person but family and friends. There is a lot more that could be said about using drugs but I like the way you have started!! :D
