People caught lying on social media by Charlotte Pryke




People caught lying on social media should be banned and removed!!!

The one thing I hate the most is people caught lying on social media. The fact that people spend all their free time thinking of a lie to post so that they become popular. Why do you do this to yourselves? What for attention? 
That’s it! Now I know why you do it. You just want to be the center of attention! Well it won’t work. Someone will call you out for lying. 

JUST STOP! 

It’s annoying. Do you do this? If you do just stop, it’s a waste of time. If that is all you can think about then get rid of your social media because it’s just stupid. 

The other day I was on twitter looking through the posts when I saw a stunning photo of someone I follow, and just as I was about to say “OMG! You’re so beautiful”, I saw the caption which said “UGH! I’m so ugly.” Now you’ve done it. You’ve triggered the evil side of me. Now I’m going to comment saying “Yes! You are ugly.” Don’t expect people to say that you’re not. People are going to say that you are.

Nearly 30% of women have lied about doing something when they are home alone. Almost a quarter overstated their alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their relationship status. Almost one in four women admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more then once a week. Now that is really annoying me. 

Anyway, back to the stats. Phychologists suggested that as people attempt to stay in connected on social media, they can in fact paradoxically be left more isolated. They also said that the more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel. 

According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to dishonesty on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage. The most common reasons for women to write lies included worrying their lives would seem boring, jealousy at seeing other people’s more exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances. Why do you do this? You will gain more friends by telling the truth. 

People don’t like liars, so why be one. I can’t stand it. I hate it so much. Do you hate people caught lying on social media?

The Ignorance of Language by Caitlin Padfield

English Natives are ignorant.  There, I said it. For the most part, at least. For students and young people, it’s ingrained in in our minds that language lessons (be it French, German or Spanish, etc.) are dreadful, a waste of time, a distraction, and providing no advantage unless we decide to study abroad to fully utilise the language. >> This could not be any further from the truth! << We don’t prioritise foreign language classes as we should, which has therefore inadvertently created a society full of culturally close-minded people. This entire mind-set that “English is the most important language” and that “most people speak English anyway” is so toxic. It is also the 2 nd most common reason in the UK as to why students didn’t choose a MFL for GCSE (which has fallen by 40% between 2010 and 2016) – closely following “because they’re too difficult”. Most fail to realise how daunting it is for non- native English speakers to speak their own language or even

People aren’t aware of how mental illness affects young people by Maegan Willson

Kids and teenagers are constantly changing. They grow up quickly and before you know it, that giggly, energetic toddler is a teenager who sleeps ‘til noon. As we grow it’s normal to experience changes but with all the changes going on, how can we tell which ones are actually normal? At what point should parents start worrying that their teenager's “mood swings” are just “growing pains” or “hormones”? It can be hard to tell. The truth is, for many teens, these changes aren’t just part of growing up. These changes are symptoms of mental illness. Mental illness can be disruptive to a teenager’s normal development that can affect them for the rest of their lives. The most common include anxiety disorders, anorexia, bulimia and depression. Around 15% of teenagers experience depression. It can affect attitudes and emotions, making teens feel sad or irritated. It causes people to experience low mood , loss of interest, feelings of guilt or low self-worth, disturbed sleep or appe

School did not teach me life skills I need by Ellie Hill

The things I learnt in school have not helped me to understand the way the world works or the responsibilities I now have as an adult. Instead we are taught the ins and outs of algebra and the ways we can analyse poems and stories. We are reminded to read between the lines and look at the hidden meaning of a word that an author has used.  I can guarantee the author's intentions were not to have their work studied but just an opportunity to escape this stressful world that no one is prepared for. It still baffles me to think that somehow that was going to help me later on. Imagine how much easier it would have been if we were taught about paying rent and mortgages or how to apply ourselves in this ever changing world. If teachers were to take a small amount of time out of their curriculum to teach us these, I’d be so much more aware about the way the world worked as an adult. It also seems like now the only reason kids are taught the things they are   is so they can ha
