People say that “all teenagers are lazy slobs”, I disagree with this statement. The fact is that many of us go out during the weekend, go to see friends, exercise and go shopping.

People say that being a teenager is one of the worst phases in life. Apparently teenagers do nothing but cause mayhem, destruction and havoc. The truth is that they come to school and get into habits quickly. Once they’re used to that habit they can do it like a everyday thing, for example they set a time to wake up and they get used to waking to that certain time and eventually wake up by themselves. It is also an important phase in human life as the youth gain more confidence in themselves and socialise more at this age and as an adult.

Adults always tell teenagers to act like adults so they can gain respect and trust from other people. How can we act like adults when we’re treated like children?  Parents tell us to make a contribution to the world, but they do not realise that a girl call Malala Yousafzai contributed to the world by fighting for the right for girls in India to go to school and she was given a noble prize.

Adults may call us lazy slobs but naturaly we are seen with friends walking around the streets, and in football clubs training all day.

“Dear parents and all adults,
You tell us to do exercise, then
You ask why we are tiered?”

We are told why we don’t go out on a sunny day But we are out nearly everyday, but it seems like we can’t have one day to relax. Parents call us lazy slobs as an age group, but we are misunderstood. When we go out parents tell us that we can’t because we always go out so once we listen we are forced to go out or take responsibility in the house.

Adults call us lazy but; most teens don’t get enough sleep. Researchers found that most young adults are  not getting the right amount of sleep a night; experts say that in fact, people need nine hours, and are typically the most sleep-diverted of our population. But we haven’t yet found out the exact reasons why we aren’t getting enough sleep, but There are theories. Computers and televisions in a teenagers room can interfere with our body’s natural circadian rhythms, and disrupt sleep. Social networking and smart phones can keep us communicating with friends way past our bedtimes.

Some teens have jobs after school that continue far into the evening hours, or after-school activities that take some time to do homework. Classes are starting earlier and earlier, and many students feel overburdened with projects they’re hard-pressed to finish in after-school.

Our hormones are at a stage which they aren’t focused on certain point. Do you not remeber how your life was like a teenager?

Adults call us lazy but when they go to parties the next day they stay in and sleep, if a teenager goes to a party the next day they get up as normal and go out. But we’re known as lazy slobs. We always are told to do things for parents and as soon as we have a few minutes to relax as soon as we sit down we are called lazy.

Another stereotype of young people today is that they are all thieving, knife-carrying, troublemakers who waste most of their time dossing about.
Another is the drug-taking, posh private school kid from an affluent background who has strengths in all subjects but a weakness for having a few pills here and there, which ends up in them being expelled and being a let-down to their family.

People need to stop naively believing everything they see or read and make their judgements based on personal experiences. If a teen stabbing occurs, it is shown on tv for several days or at least until a more “interesting” story appears. When we do hear or see positive news, it features rarities such as a teen Olympic champion. Little wonder that the public are fearful of young people or that young people are scared of their own area.

Hello im the headmaster of London Nautical School and it is one of the best schools in london, when it is on the summer break

The school is a place for students to have opportunities for learning…,wait let me rephrase the school is a place for teachers to have the opportunity to confuse students with too much work.

The LSC room is a good room because when you behave really badly you get sent there and it has silence, class work and fast wifi.

The playground is great as you will see that it has a small portion of holes and if a child drops and gets injured they are sent to the basment that has great medical equipment with plasters, ear buds and state of the art alcohol.

The corridors in the school have great diplays on the wall, where the plaster is starting to break off. If you want to you can put up your pieces of work up, with the mouldy blu tac that is left on the wall with old F and U grade work.

People see the teachers as the best, since the school is only religious once every year. They have a good partnership with the church as even the devil is scared of our school .

There are three types of sentences:

Simple: “i dont like poking round other people’s conputers”

Compound: “i could borrow one from an early adopter but that wouldn’t be the same.

Complex: “but this being launch day, ipads were bound to be scarcer than cats’ eggs right.

I = a noun

Don’t = verb

Like = adjective

Poking = verb

Round = adjective

Other = adjective & pronoun

Shakespeare presents fate in many different perspectives such as the plays shows fate as destiny and the inevitable.

“the gods today stand friendly, that we may, lovers in peace, lead on our days to age!”. This quote means that if the god are kind enough that they may live in peace and age rather than die in the battle, here they use fate as an excuse for the gods to help them since they rely on gods. 

In the play at the beginning of the play there is a character called the soothsayer which tells caesar to beware of the ides of march which means that he is telling caesar to be careful of his fate.

“Caesar, thou art reveng’d even with the sword that kill’d thee” this quote is by cassius and that even though caesar is dead he has been able to make cassius with the same dagger and cassius says this is fate.

At another point of the play cassius tells brutus that fate isn’t real. “The fault is not in our stars but it is in ourselves” this means that the stars means fate and you cant blame fate on anything but blame yourself.

In the play just before Caesar is killed he mentions that he is as constant as the northern star “if I pray to move, prayers would move me. But i am as constant as the northern star.” This means he is one of the most powerful people in the world and is more powerful than fate. Which led to his death which show fate punishes people that dont believe in it. Caesar also dies the same day he says he is as constant as the northern star, so it proves fate is real.

Caesar: “I am as constant as the northern star” Caesar is using a simile meaning that he is as bright as the northern star. A simile is when a figure of speech involving the comparison of one thing with another thing of a different kind, used to make a description more emphatic or vivid.
