Just for Kids Healthy Life:

Eating plenty of fruit and vegies not only contributes to good health, but also protects against a number of diseases and helps maintain a healthy weight.

Most Australians eat only half the amount of fruit and vegies recommended for good health.

The amount children need depends on their age, but generally it’s

2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of vegetable per day.

Here is a good way to spread 2 & 5 through out your day.

Breakfast: Sliced banana on weetbix

Lunch: Fruit salad or mixed salad, salad sandwich, (Lettuce, tomato, cucumber etc.)

Dinner: Steamed veggies (carrot, brocoli, beans etc.), jacket potato (microwave)

Book Review TWILIGHT by MONTY

Twilight is a teen novel written by Stephanie Meyer on the 2 of June, 2003. It all started with a dream of “two people who were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. They were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that
A) They were falling in love with each other while
B) The vampire was particularly attracted to the scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her immediately.” Stephanie quotes.

The book twilight is about when a young girl called Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerising voice, and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistible and impenetrable. Up until now, he has managed to keep his true identity hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.
What Bella doesn't realise is that closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and those around her at risk. And it might be too late to turn back...

Denni & Shawn with BULLYING

A very touchy subject; that most don’t like to talk about.
Have you ever been bullied Or are you the Bully? Bullying is really common and can happen to anyone.

So here are some interesting Fact's!

WHY BULLY ? To feel good about ones self, Bullies are generally physically aggressive, are typically hot-tempered, easily angered, and impulsive, with a low tolerance for frustration. Bullies have a strong need to dominate others and usually have little empathy for their targets.

Who bullies? Bullying takes on different forms from boy to girls.
While both say that others bully them by making fun of the way they look or talk,boys are more likely to report being hit, slapped, or pushed.

Did you know? Girls are more likely than boys to report being the targets of rumors and sexual comments? While Boys target both boys and girls, they are often physically bigger and stronger than their peers. Bullies tend to get in trouble more often, and to dislike and do more poorly in school, than teens who do not bully others. They are also more likely to fight, drink or smoke than their peers. Teen girls most often bully other girls, using more subtle and indirect forms of aggression than boys. For example, instead of physically harming others, they are more likely to spread gossip or encourage others to reject or exclude another girl.

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying, which is carried out through an internet service such as email, chat room, discussion group, online social networking, instant messaging or web pages.

It can also include bullying through mobile phone technologies such as SMS.

Yes, and it can be illegal.

A word of interest: Understanding Bullying can help make reason, but not excuse it.

Are you aware that kids and teens that come from homes where parents are not around & provide little support emotionally, failing to monitor their kids activities, or have little involvement in their kids lives, are at greater risk for engaging in bullying behavior. Even Parents' discipline styles are also related to bullying behavior: too strict or not strict enough approaches can increase the risk of teenage bullying. So is the Bully just seeking attention in the wrong way? Maybe just looking for someone to take notice , someone to care or may be someone to react.

Surprisingly, bullies appear to have little difficulty in making friends. Their friends typically share their bad attitudes and problem behaviors (such as loud, disrespectful to others feelings & property, drinking even smoking) and may be involved in bullying as well. These friends are often followers that do not initiate bullying, but participate in it.

Remember How we react is what they are looking for?
