Call us, helplines urge troubled teens
1a) List two reasons why teens are reluctant to call helplines despite the promise of anonymity and professional help.
There is not enough helpline and there do not like to talk to stranger
b) According to Ms Lily Chu, how does Touch Leadership and Mentoring prefer to help troubled teens?
It is more effective and direct and this can educate student who are in the stage of facing problem to solve their upcoming problems
2) Have you confided in your friends or family members about the problems you face in school/ life? Why or why not?
No,I had no problem recently that i can't solve.Mostly my problem face was stress,school trouble and envy from someone else.I am a good person in school and i avoided some problem that suppose not to happen like getting away from gangsters when i met them .for problem like stress and someone else jealous my marks ,sport ,etc, this problem can't be avoid so i must face it .For stress i will go home and play some game to relax myself ,for envy of my result , i will argue with the person in the right way and give him/her some tips about my achievement .
Have you been betrayed by your friends before? If yes, how? (You may change the names of the people involved for privacy)
Basically no ,if yes is that they just out of fun and i will not blame them as the problem is not that serious.For telling who i love is also not counted as betray as this will be revealed one day.But still i will not tell people other than my friends.

1)What are the four rules for religious harmony
The first rule is ''All group have to exercise tolerance and restraint"which means thats rules apply on one group cannot come with law that are enforced or everyone.
The second rules is "Keep religion separate from politics"which means do not mix religion issue with that politics example "mr lee cited the recent Iranian presidential election which was fiercely contested where is the outcome of disputed by the supporter of President Mahmod Ahmadinejad
and the leading rival candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi and where both side invoked Islam in thier support.
The third rule is Government must remain secular and the fourth rules is Maintain the common space that all Singaporean share.
b)In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in school
Respect all religion like respecting yourself and do not gossip about certain religious.The most important is if someone of other religion provoke you Do not said something bad about the religion,said about him instead.This is only when you are very angry.
2)Do you respect other religious .Why /Why not?
Yes i do respect other religious but just in the mind.My action does not show any idea of i respect other religions.I just like many people who wanted to respect other religion but though action they didn't respect other religion as something because of anger or joke made people forget about religious harmony.Maybe i got the genes of my grandfather who he hates Malay to the core so something i will find myself hating Malay but i will try to control myself not to do that.Some people likes to joke about other religion like the common one -their skin colour.Some people will scold Indian 's black skin.This although is a small stuff but it will hurt people thoroughly.Sometimes i also will slipped out of the tongue calling Indian black.One other common disrespect is during Hari Raya Puasa some non-Muslim will make the Muslim by bringing the food to the eye during their fasting.This is also disrespect although not physically but mentally.For Chinese i dun know how they insult but i never by insult by other religion.

Elderly Falling Prey to 'Volunteer' Ruse (trick)
1a)what is the modus operandi(method of operating) of the con artist?
Their modus operandi is posing as a volunteer from welfare organisation on a project to spruce up the homes of these senior citizen .Doing this will lets the unsuspecting victim let them into their house.When they didn't pay attention to them they will steal their cash.
b)What are the Lion befrienders planning to do to ensure the old folk do not get conned again?
They will ensure the experience or full time staff to introduce to the new volunteer to the senior citizen to ensure they recognised who they are.
2)Do you like social work ?Why or Why not?
Yes but i dun like to do social work cause i think it is a waste of time in a way and i dun like to interact with others.It is not easy to be volunteer i think cause it not just about kind hearted but include patient and understanding and of course need to bear with their temper and must not think they are smelly or something like that.i like social work because when i seen in the TV show they every time volunteer help the senior citizen to do work they would be happy.When seeing them happy me myself also will get happy.Although i like to see them happy but i dun have patient with them and i dun like smelly places but if i got these component i will surely help them .To befriends with the senior citizen also an hard job because everyone is unique in their own way ,some are easy-going ,some are hot tempered some are arrogant ,some likes to tell story about the past ,some treat volunteer as their maid/servant ,so volunteer must goes into their life to find out what they likes ,what they don't like and also the food they eat,their medical condition and the hobby so as to entertain them to make them happy and tidy up the place for them .I think even the 'real' volunteer them self might not have all of these component.Being a volunteer also need true heart,if you think you want to do it just to finish a school project earning CIP hour or present it to a girl to let them think that your are a good man this is all crap,you are not fit to be a volunteer cause you do not have true heart true faith towards them.
Anyway if you want to be a volunteer and care for the elderly go to this website and contact the admin http://www.lionsbefrienders.org.sg/
