My mum got what seemed like a ridiculous list of things to be aware of that could bring on her allergies, it ranged from lead in pencils to coins, pennies, notes, metals, jewellery, envelops, latex, papers, plasters, sun cream, make ups, perfumes, shower products, hairs products, elastic bands and sap from trees! She is however allergic to cat fur her eyes swell up and get irritated if she's around anyone associated with heavy, furry cats. The way she reacts it looks strange and as much as its uncomfortable for her she looks very unnatural like she's had surgery on her face amplifying it! I feel bad for her but I reminder her to watch what she's doing if she's got plasters or anything that was on her list because plasters can cause her skin to react quick quickly and she looks as though she's getting a rash. It must be awful to have allergies and especially to have bad reactions!

Dear girls,
Don't be afraid to be yourself around others, don't always follow trends because its not the original you, be thoughtful and considerate of other girls- look at their position and try understanding before judging, compliment others but don't be hateful, make decisions wisely think of others it will effect and take care of yourself- your body, mind, spirit and soul! Girls should be helping other girls out if they can see a problem that you can't, it's always good to take a second opinion and sometimes girls know what other girls think, like and want from a response.

---

Genuinely to everyone (not just girls), be yourself, feel comfortable with who you are and your roots, don't be afraid to express yourself when you feel you need to, don't underestimate yourself, learn and find what the best way to be you and your true self is! ??

I wouldn't like that for the fact that I have things hidden in the past which I'd rather bury and not relive! I didn't like who I used to "act" as so I eventually found myself after a good while of digging deep and feeling the need to strip back all the negative and irrelevance going on! I'm not sure though how someone else would react because I feel like its their decision whether they like me for who I am, what I've overcome, experienced and how I now portray myself in comparison to years ago, or whether they just don't like me for whatever reason, there's really no point in dwelling on something you can't always control and I wouldn't like to force someone to like me when that will backfire and do the complete opposite! At the end of the day I am who I am, I can't change my journey, I can't alter myself to suit others and I can't force an opinion or make up someone else's mind about myself! I do feel hurt if I know there's tension or an awkwardness between myself and someone else and I can't figure out why, or I'm not comfortable in that situation because I'd like to try and get along with others, even to just be civil and nice without being on a friendship level! I don't think your popularity ranking should dictate on how you are as a person because really you could learn from that person or have things in common so to pass up the opportunity to get to know someone before knowing them seems silly. :)

I can give you a few ideas, that could maybe help:
Pollution.
The upcoming generations in comparison to the older generation.
Beauty within nature.
Bad influences within media: celebrities, musicians etc.
The importance of a good education.
Expression and what it means in this society.
Child development- forming relationships, risk taking, being honest/lying, role playing, making up stories, influences.
Awareness of mental illnesses and the impacts.
Different myths.
Global crisis.
Evolution of technology.
Political views.
What it means to be alone.
Overcoming fears.
Stereotypes: advantages/disadvantages.
What certain songs mean to you/ explanation of why music is important.
Dreams and meanings-signs/warnings.
Animal behaviour patterns and changes.
How fascinating it is profiling criminals.
Criminal VS. Victim- why and breaking down reasons of why both become what they are.
The effects of too much gaming on children/young teenagers.
How lazy some people are- not having dyslexia but using slang/text language i.e lmao, idg, hmu!
The dangers of being online- this topic is very large, could look at scams, identity theft, manipulation, encouraging affairs on certain sites, hacking etc.

Sorry this is all I can think of just now! :)

I know exactly what kind of person/ personality traits to keep away from, the past has taught me quite a bit and now I'll stick with my gut rather than giving second chances out freely! A friendship takes a lot of effort, time, trust, commitment and work but even the strongest and longest friendships don't last forever.
I don't like those who choose flaws over personality and continuously pick at it until its rotten and the person is wounded by the constant picking and hurt of painful words towards them! I literally hold very very long grudges against people like that I've picked up a great memory when it comes to disappointment, hurt and hurtful actions! I don't like people who think and make themselves believe they rise above all others because no, no you don't everyone is different but no one is truly superior, not in my eyes anyway!

Take a break away from all the unnecessary negativity in your life, try to cope with you and how you're feeling- TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF-, if you can't be around yourself too long to cope with your own problems, feelings or fears don't let someone else try for you if they are willing to stick around, make sure to surround yourself with people who do and that you know will care for you! I learned that not accepting yourself or coping with what's going on with you then letting someone in, it destroys you mentally- even the slightest let down, disappointment, lack of trust, betrayal or silence can break you more. I tend to keep myself surrounded by things that are familiar or have a certain meaning to me and if disturbed it I upsets me. Find a place to sit around for a while to clear your head and make you feel secure can help mentally because you've most likely found yourself somewhere to hide from the world and its somewhere you can feel secure enough to relax your emotions a bit. When I get myself into a right mess the first thing I want to do is remove myself from being seen, I keep myself hidden so I can let any pain or negative feelings go, I've found that keeping an object that's familiar to you that has a meaning, memory, association can help you to feel sane and safe because its personal to you and it's like a secret space for your thoughts, any negative energy, feelings, problems you have. There's lots of ways to try occupying yourself like drawing, writing, singing/rapping, making music associated with how you feel and feel in that moment, you have to find the best way for you that you're comfortable coping with. For anyone that self harms some of those ways could help even wearing something around your body parts, getting a tattoo(if old enough) or drawing with a pen over where you'd cut or writing in a journal/diary how you are. Depression is peculiar many suffer but many also give up and we shouldn't give in to temptations because there's great things we can miss out on if we give up! Someone, somewhere will always care just try to avoid hurting yourself, and talk to someone who will listen, attempt to give you advice or who will simply just support you and talk with you until you feel slightly better. Being okay/fine/getting there is better than being alone, deep in the dark, taunted by demons. -We are all caterpillars waiting to become beautiful butterflies in the end!?✨ Stay and be Beautiful.

Lets be honest I feel I wasn't taught much that was and could've been useful to me, I was never taught about ways to manage your money, how to build things, earn money, be successful, how to take in so much information, sort out tax and money problems, how difficult the future would be, how to cope with pregnancy (you get a lot of how you can prevent pregnancy and transmitted diseases though), was never taught how to work out how to pay bills or avoid becoming bankrupt, taught how to avoid or get the best loans how to live on your own without support or how to prepare yourself for the future of unknown! Basically what I took from my school was useless maths which I still struggle with, how socialising can become stressful, unnecessary drama, how you get bullied or how to avoid being bullied, everything is to do with how "popular" you are, how not to ask for help, how to close yourself off from others, what kind of idiotic people you will meet later in life and have already met, how to control your emotions in certain environments, how to lose friends, how to feel stupid in class especially when the teacher is equally as ridiculous at teaching and how to hold grudges since leaving! There were very little teachers I liked and the ones I liked were the ones who didn't just help me out but they put faith in me and tried to teach me valuable skills. I admire and thank them for that because if I didn't get them I wouldn't have made it as far as I have and there would be things I wouldn't have known that I do now! :') Education is a farse, change needs to happen and students/pupils should actually learn worthwhile things that will help them later on in life and can prepare them for unexpected experiences!

I do like older music like from a range of 70's, 80' and 90's music because I've was brought up hearing old songs and some I just kind of took a liking to on my own! I'm not completely satisfied with the new generations "music" if we can call it that. I used to like watching Top of the Pops (music program for anyone who doesn't know what it is) and they sang live and played the instruments live none of this auto tuning nonsense that can basically make any tone deaf person sing amazingly. I think that it's a crime of music to auto tune and lip sing because people who genuinely can sing get written off because people who can't but look the part get the gigs... Where is the sense in that? I don't mean to be picky but you have singers like Pixie Lott, Katy Perry, Cheryl Cole, Ariana Grande who can't sing at all or can't sing well because they're too busy shouting or screaming pitches so that you think they can sing but in reality they are absolutely rotten live! Just because you can sing in a studio environment doesn't mean you can actually sing especially if you're not very good live. So for that reason I do like older songs but some modern songs I do like and will listen to! I like exotic sounds and Fuse ODG because you get the African accent and vibe which I think sounds amazing and very upbeat, it's lively enough that the sound makes you want to move, swish, tap or dance along to the rhythm! :)

- I've been contemplating whether to answer this question because I don't want to offend/upset anyone as this is a very huge topic to discuss and include an opinion on. I especially didn't want to answer because of whats been going on across the world and its very soon after certain attacks too! I feel like myself and many others should not discriminate against others for certain tragic events that have recently taken place. I don't want my opinion to be based on these events or anything to do with it so I would like to answer as openly as possible and not mention just one religion to avoid any upsettings! I have my opinions on different religion anyway despite how some might address this question!

Not to offend anyone but I don't think people should be defined by their religion or others who have more extreme or traditional views on a specific religion. I have/had friends who are Catholic, Muslim and Protestant and I was interested to find out a bit more about their religion. I was brought up in a Protestant church so I know what I feel and think towards that and honestly I didn't feel any of the teachers could answer my questions to an extent which I think made me lose faith after a while. I know my friends, Protestant, Catholic and Muslim-I was interested to know how they felt about their religion and traditions. I was very surprised to hear that they felt very restricted and controlled by their religious traditions and I felt sorry that they felt that way especially when some of them ended up lying to their family and upset their parents which I felt sympathetic towards because I'd met my friends mum and she is such an amazing and lovely woman! To hear that my friend was so restricted, I felt helpless because she wanted to live life on her own a bit more independently. I respect her mum so much and she's such a lovely woman but I do understand that her mum was protective of her being the only daughter and I also understood where my friend was coming from by wanting to be more independent. I do think that restrictions within religion makes people more eager to step outside and risk being a bit more independent but its sad when its upsetting their family and they have to lie about things! I think religion should be something that is taken seriously to a certain degree but something that everyone involved can enjoy and still put first as a priority so that its not forgotten completely, but I think some generations hold onto the traditions they were brought up with so they want to continue that within the family and that's maybe not always a good thing if its coming between family members and personal life. It would be nice to see a change in religion, where restrictions aren't as harsh or overpowering, where people can be more independent but still have faith and respect their religion, decrease hate crimes towards religious people and let them worship, pray and feel comfortable with being able to follow that religion without discrimination!

If i was asked this question at a younger age I would've said Sleeping beauty because she was my favourite disney princess. I would definitely like to be Stitch for a day because I love Stitch, I love that he's such a quirky character who learns how to love and interact with humans despite being purposely created to destroy things. He comes across as an unusually sweet alien who differentiates from his purpose and becomes such a loveable character throughout! I also like Alice, I think being her for the day would be an adventure. She starts off being a pretty normal girl and ends up following her curiosity down into another world where she then becomes put in situations that don't normally occur in reality which helps her decide how she finishes off the adventure down the rabbit hole and into Wonderland! I think while Alice is in this crazy world she discovers herself a bit more and she has to make choices which will effectively take her on the right path to going home as well as facing more difficult obstacles!

I think everyone experiences those feelings, if not many times then at least once whether its family, friends or a partner involved. Personally I feel that way when I've been let down, rejected or are put in a position I don't want or should have to be in and it's really not nice to feel that way at all! Those who are capable of creating this feeling, I suspect have experienced it themselves and to make them feel better they do this to others as a form of revenge or a way of coping with it- almost like giving people a taste of their medicine. I think it's incredible to watch criminal programmes and understanding how and why the victim becomes victim in the first place, the way if you break down certain aspects of how they are victim becomes more clear and then you try to figure what's going on in the criminals mind and why she/he is doing or has done what they have! It's pretty fascinating to watch how people can be so badly influenced by events that have happened to them in the past and how that builds up and reminds them of what their doing I'd a message to people to make them understand their own pain. Of course I find this wrong that people violate others, take hostage, hurt, kill and use them terribly to give them a traumatic and terrifying experience that will totally break their confidence and sanity in certain ways. I do quite like the ways people go about profiling these criminals though so that you can and do kind of understand where they've come from when they start to transform into a criminal and why they think what they've done is (in a way to them) good or justice and acts like a healing process for some.
