Problems teenagers face at school: bullying, illegal drugs, and segregation The main goal of attending school is achieving a sort of holistic education, so that an ordinary student will be ready to cope with a complete variety of different challenges all along their life. Common students are, however, usually forced to struggle for "survival" in a hostile atmosphere, rather earlier than expected -at the end of their studies, in their very secondary school. If you are a parent and have teenagers, all the odds are that you will have already become fully aware of this repeated situation. Your children may be targetted by bullying and segregation, mainly when the group of veteran students notice they are slightly different in any way, whichsoever. In that case, those newcomers, or different ones, will in all likelyhood become the object of practical jokes at the beginning, to follow by bullying them and ending up utterly segregated from the students' community. They feel inside the bubble, isolated, separated and at the bottom of the hostile pyramid. Our children immediately ask themselves for the fasted way to integrate with others, they are fully conscious that their dad or mum are unable to work out "their" problem, they live in another planet! How to be able to be accepted? Could it be through becoming even more wicked and vicious than the worst ones? Taking drugs as the evil ones? Bullying others, even more defendless classmates than them? They are in the vicious circle and have too few possibilities to break it, and you, their dad or mum feels powerless to help them. One of the ways to work it out would be to move your offspring to another school, although if they feel segreated again, that time the consequences may be even worse than in the former situation.

How to encourage people to lead a healthier way of life Media continually bombard us with a clear message, the number of overweight people keeps increasing, what significantly affects our life expectancy, as well as the state's health budget. How can this tendency be changed? Funny, original adverts may have almost immediate effects, or why not to trying from the real root, throughout education? Fatness has become such a serious health problem that really demands to implement urgent measures. A media campaign might become the turning point, mainly concerning those fat people on their way towards morbid obesity. Apart from campaigning for wholesome food, that campaign might also recommend physical exercise as a positive routine to include in our daily life. Nevertheless, if we are searching for a long-term solution to this escalating problem - from both aspects, wholesome food and physical activity - we are doomed to trying it with education. It could be the only way, through combining school-teaching and family-behaviour, to make possible to banish our current wrong food habits, and sedentary lifestyle. To sum up, not only should society implement a media campaign in favour of healthier food habits and daily physical activities, but it should also be launched a put-in-motion family and educative drive to achieve permanent outcomes.
