Poem/rap on being positive during difficult times.
When you’re on a bumpy road, something on your mind’s a load.
Just chill and remember that you got your bro’s.
Got an important call and they put you on hold,
Grab all your worries for me and give it a throw.
Just chill, sit back, relax, don’t even worry cause someones got your back.
When a lot happens, just let it go, the past is past, yeah everybody knows.
When life’s dragging you round, your families pulling you down, lock yourself away, feeling like you’re shutting down.
You know that something hit, you feel like you don’t fit, everybody looking at you like you’re a little kid.
Just chill, sit back, relax, don’t even worry cause someones got your back.
When a lot happens just let it go, the past is past, yeah everybody knows… Yeah.
Speech on Puberty.
Topic: The importance of adults understanding young people when they are going through puberty.
Why is it important for adults to understand young people when going through puberty? Adults went through the same thing themselves, and they know what it’s like. Becoming a young person comes really suddenly, experiencing different stages and things in life. When going through puberty there are ups and downs to it, and adults need to be understanding when it comes to this. It happens to everyone, not a single person on earth has not been through puberty. (I think) If an adult doesn’t understand young people, who will? People going through puberty still need support from adults especially, they rely on adults because they have more experience. It doesn’t make any sense when adults don’t understand, they went through it themselves so they should teach, help, and support their children, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers or sisters anyone. Adults not understanding is complete and utter nonsense!
Conclusion: The reason why adults should understand is so they can help, and support those who know nothing about puberty, this is why we learn about it at school or at home because us young people are new to this kind of stuff. Before we became young people, we didn’t care about anything, we were running around and playing, laughing at anything until puberty hit, everything changed and we are still learning. So that is why it is important for you adults to understand.
Keeping Ourselves Safe. (KOS)
Out in this dangerous world we need to be able to keep ourselves safe and prevent your loved ones from being harmed.
There are different types of abuse such as:
- Sexual
- Physical
- Emotional
- Neglect
- Finally cyber.
These types of abuse are the most harmful and common. These types of abuse can also lead to a major amount of stress, and this stress can lead into something even worse like suicide. When keeping ourselves safe it is important that we stay aware of these types of abuse and know how to identify if you are in trouble or if someone else is.
If you have been abused in any way and are feeling upset, know that it is okay to talk to someone instead of keeping it bottled up inside you, in fact if you do that it could make you feel worse. Talking to someone you trust like your parents, teachers, friends can help you a lot.
If you finish work at night and decide to walk home, it is really important to keep aware and alert, especially if you are carrying vulnerable items. When walking alone at night keep your vulnerable items and your phone close to your body and walk towards the traffic lights. If you also notice someone is following you, look ahead and walk briskly, cross the street or road to make sure they are actually following you. If they do follow you go to the nearest place where people are, then call 111 and ask for the police. Make sure you don’t panic and act calmly.
If you find yourself being attacked try to escape and call 111 for the police. Unless it is really necessary to use force, try to move away and avoid them. Then call the police and give them an accurate description of the situation. You are allowed to defend yourself but it needs to be reasonable.
“Everyone is justified in using , in the defence of himself or another, such as, in the circumstances as he believes them to be, it is reasonable to use.” Section 48 criminals act 1916.
Meaning you are allowed to defend yourself, but remember self defence is to protect yourself not to get revenge if you do, you are basically committing a crime.
Keeping ourselves safe is really important for our well being and for ourselves so make sure to keep safe and remember that it is okay to reach out to others. THE END.
