Serena Williams
Did you know that many athletes would do certain ‘rituals’ before or during competition to ensure a
win. One of them is Serena Williams. She is one of the greatest and most feared female tennis player
in the world. For the 27-year-old, these quirks include bringing her shower sandals to the court, tying
her shoelaces a specific way and bouncing the ball five times before her first serve and twice before
her second. The three-time Wimbledon champ will even wear the same pair of socks throughout the
tournament. Williams is so set in her superstitions; she has chalked up major losses to not following
her own routine correctly.

Boss. It’s quite an easy game. I have to take passengers from one point to
another in a limited amount of time. At the same time, the faster you do it and
the richer the passenger you are carrying, the more tips he will pay you upon
arrival. I find it quite difficult as I have to drive really fast and the roads are
usually congested. I will have to practice more. You might want to try this game.

Ways to Earn Money


Money is the medium of exchange (paper or plastic), in which people use to buy things
that they want. It is important to understand the value of money. One way to instil in teens
the value of money is to get them to save, in order to buy things that they like. Teenagers
can save money by putting aside a portion of their pocket money. Teenagers can bring
food from home and do not have to buy food from the canteen. The extra money can be
put aside. When the piggy bank is full, we can put in all the money into our savings
account. Now banks accept coins too.

Besides that, we could also sell unused toys, books and old shirts. This method will not
just give us some money, it also helps in clearing the storage at home. The most strategic
way to sell this item is by selling them online.

Another good way to get money is to start a business. If you have a big garden at home,
you are lucky. Those land can be used to plant vegetables, fruits and beautiful flowers.
When these plants grow, you can sell this natural resource to the neighbours. Some of
the money should be used to buy new plants so that you can get more money the next
time.

Apart from that, in order to save money, we can do some part-time jobs. We can work at
shops, restaurants, petrol stations and shopping malls. Then, we can save all of the
wages in our savings account or use them for emergency. Even though these are
effective ways to save money, but as a teenager, we should manage our time to study
too.

Cyberbullying
Teenagers are now using the internet more than ever. They view the internet and
even more so the mobile phones as positive aspects of our society. On the other
hand, these same technologies are also often used negatively. How so? There are
people who troll the internet to bully others. It is called cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is
bullying that takes place over digital devices like cell phones, computers, and tablets.
Teenagers are often fall victims to cyberbullying. They are being followed around the
clock, and into the safety of their homes.

Cyberbullying can be physical, verbal, and emotional. Physical cyberbullying happens


when the bully makes fun of the victim’s appearance, sends them pictures of
themselves with hurtful messages written on their bodies, or posts pictures of them
online with derogatory comments. Verbal cyberbullying occurs when the bully
threatens to harm or embarrass the victims in public, posts hurtful comments about
them on social media, or sends them offensive emails. Emotional cyberbullying
happens when the bully makes fun of or criticises the victim’s personal life or
emotions.

The effects of cyberbullying are in many ways worse than traditional bullying. It
infiltrates every part of a victim’s life, causing psychological struggles. Victims of
cyberbullies may feel distracted and pre-occupied with the bullying, spending the time
thinking of ways to avoid it. They may also experience lack of interest and motivation
due to depression or anxiety, which eventually leads to not attending classes and
come up with all kinds of excuses to avoid school.

Victims of cyberbullying should not suffer in silence. Victims should speak to their
parents or teachers regarding this. Besides that, victims may also want to consider 7
filing a police report if the bullying is physical or threatening. Victims should not just sit
and take the abuse. Speak out against the bullies and tell them that their behaviour is
not right. You may also want to consider using social media to spread awareness

Teenagers today do not have a healthy lifestyle. As we grow, we need to

realise the importance of healthy lifestyle, so that we are able to live to a ripe old
age and not be a burden to our parents or family members.
One of the things that we can do is to go to bed early. Teenagers usually go
to bed late because they spend time playing video games or watch Tik Tock
videos. Sleep deficiency is closely linked to many serious health problems like
diabetes. Hence, it is important to have enough sleep.
