they have on their children and this has led to several negatie consequences.
Depression
In the article "Parenting and Its Effects on Children: On Reading and
Misreading Behavior Genetics" for the psychology journal "Annual Reviews,"
professor Eleanor E. Maccoby, Ph.D, of Stanford University links parental
negativity to child depression and the internalization of behaviors. In the
National Institutes of Health journal article "Relation of Positive and Negative
Parenting to Children's Depressive Symptoms" by Danielle H. Dallaire et al,
found that harsh and negative parenting behaviors correlated with symptoms
of depression in children. Other factors that may contribute to childhood
depression include low levels of overall support, parental depression, physical
punishment, unhealthy expression of negative emotions and a lack of
emotional support.
Aggression
In the report "Negative Parenting Style Contributes to Child Aggression" for
Psych Central, Rick Nauert, Ph.D., reports that researchers at the University
of Minnesota found that the explosive kindergarteners studied had poor
relationships with their mothers from an early age. The researchers concluded
that bad parenting during infancy contributed to childhood aggression. The
mothers studied handled their children "roughly," expressed negative feelings
towards their kids and had escalating conflicts with them. The researchers
concluded that negative parenting caused the children studied to demonstrate
"higher levels of anger," which made the mothers more hostile. What was not
studied was the relationship between the mother and the father, and how that
might have influenced the mother's feelings or behavior.
In short, because of these bad consequences, I hope parents will pay more attention
to the way they approach their children.
3. Time-Management Stress
Stress increases at school and the older they get, the number of projects to be done, tests to cope
with, and social drama increases, not to mention sports and other extracurricular activities. On the
social front, a new and tantalizing horizon opens up—dating, partying, and hanging out with friends.
Meanwhile, they are constantly distracted by electronic media. A teenager learning to juggle all of
these expectations is under a lot of stress.
The teen is suddenly expected to act like an adult. They are expected to manage their work
independently, make and follow through on the right decisions, and manage their finances. Though
most parents complains about filthy bedrooms, untidy shelves and cabinets, smelly socks, missing
stuff, I wonder... where is the time!? They simply can't do it all, and the pressure makes them more
prone to anxiety and depression.
When all the people surrounding the teenager are attempting to mold him/her into a different shape,
the pressure builds. Parents, teachers, family elders, siblings, friends, schoolmates, and social
groups all play a part and pull the teenager in different directions.
Poor nutrition. The eating habits of teens are poor and unmonitored. They are urged towards
eating disorders, either starving themselves or binging on unhealthy, fatty, high-calorie junk
food.
Lack of sleep. In an effort to do and be it all, the teen sacrifices sleep. They require about nine
hours of sleep but on average, teens get roughly seven hours. This means that every day, they
are running at a deficit.
Depression and anxiety. Hormonal changes, added to the chaos and strain of scheduling,
prioritizing, achieving, and fulfilling expectations, put a teen under considerable emotional
pressure. This is reflected in mood swings, aggression, depression, anxiety, and sometimes
even a complete breakdown.
Mental and physical health are connected. If your teen isn't healthy physically, it will have an affect
on his psychology, and vice-versa.
We cant deny the important role of English in the modern society.
International Relations
English is the primary language of business throughout the world. Most international business
transactions, including emails, memos, reports and contracts, are written in English. Frequently
translating purchase orders, forms, offers and correspondence is time consuming and potentially
fraught with errors.
Employment Opportunities
The ability to fluently speak English in addition to your native language can be beneficial if
you're seeking job opportunities with international companies. Many employers prefer or require
English speaking and writing proficiency. Job interviews for international business positions are
often conducted in English. The ability to speak this more universal business language can place
you a step ahead of the competition.

How to Reduce Student
Stress and Excel in School
Manage Time Wisely
It’s important to give yourself plenty of time to work on your studies if you want to do well, and
you can save yourself a lot of stress if you plan with good time management skills.
Setting up a schedule for study, breaking up your studies into smaller chunks, and other time
management skills are essential.
Get Organized
Have a system of organization for note-taking, keeping track of assignments, and other important
papers. Being organized can bring you the peace of mind that comes from knowing where
everything is, remembering deadlines and test dates, and clearing your mind of some of the
mental clutter that disorganization brings.
Keep a calendar, a schedule, and a filing system for your school assignments, and you’ll find it
prevents a significant amount of stress!
Develop Optimism
It has been proven that optimists—those who more easily shrug off failures and multiple
successes—are healthier, less stressed, and more successful. While some level of optimism is
inborn, optimism is a state that can be practiced, and your overall levels of optimism can increase
as a result.
Develop the traits of optimism and you'll do better in your studies and your future career.
If you want your performance to be optimum, you need to be well-rested. Research shows that
those who are sleep-deprived have more trouble learning and remembering, and perform more
poorly in many areas. You can also be more reactive to stress when you are sleep-deprived, so
there are many reasons to focus on getting quality sleep each night.
Students are notoriously busy and sleep-deprived, so you may need to go against the grain at
times in order to protect your sleep schedule, but it will be worth it both now and in the
future. Work your schedule so you get enough sleep, or take power naps.
How to live a healthy life
Start and finish your workout with stretching. Gentle stretching will
warm up your muscles before you work out and will relax your muscles
after you work out.[13]
Go to the gym 3 to 5 times per week. Work out for half an hour to an
hour, combining both cardio and strength training programs. Experts
recommend getting at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity every
week.[14]
Enjoy rigorous daily activities. Both high-intensity gardening and
housekeeping can exercise your body.[15] You can also incorporate more
activity into your daily routine by taking the stairs instead of the elevator,
parking farther away from shops, and taking a quick walk on your lunch
break.

Need a pick-me-up? It's tempting to got for a pint, order a pizza or treat
yourself to some new shoes when you feel a bit low, but putting 15 minutes
aside to practice yoga every day could transform your mood (and your health)
in more ways than you could imagine.
Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, it's easy to squeeze in just 15
minutes of yoga practice a day. Here are 10 reasons why it will be worth it:
A few minutes a day practicing poses like the warrior or the downward facing
dog, will soon make you really feel the difference in your flexibility, whether
you're pretty bendy already or not.
Daily yoga practice will awaken the main energy centres (called chakras) in
our body. Great poses for extra energy are those that extend the spine, such
as the tree pose, allowing energy to circulate throughout the whole body, and
poses that open the chest, like the cobra pose, encouraging the intake of
more breath.
5. Reduce stress
Many work places now offer lunch-time yoga sessions because it's been
shown that yoga is an amazing stress buster. Any yoga practice, even a short
daily one, should be made up of three elements; poses, breathing and
meditation. Studies have shown that those people who regularly practice all
three elements are better able to regulate their heart-rate variability (HRV).
This generally means that their heart rate is lower, giving body the ability to
respond to stress in a more flexible way.
Are you coping with so much stress that it's keeping you awake at night?
Studies have shown that practicing daily yoga can reduce or even fully
prevent insomnia. When experiencing insomnia, practice relaxing asanas or
postures, such as forward fold (uttanasana) or lying on your back with your
feet up the wall. Relaxing yoga poses such as the forward fold or lying on
your back with your feet up the wall can calm both your body and mind.
A world without love, is a world I wouldn’t recognize.
Mothers, would not be capable of nurturing their offspring, After all love is the first
sustenance given a child before its first drop of its mother’s milk.
Patricide, fratricide, matricide would be the law, without love only jealousy and
selfishness would have greater control over man.
Without love, individuals would live lives of self loathing. I equate, love with respect,
without love of self, you’d long yourself out of existence. Imagine what you’d do to others
without love…
We don’t realize that every stranger we meet, we love. A subconscious love. Not a romantic
love, but a love that searches in each individual to find common denominators, something
that makes us live side by side in harmony.
The stranger you measure on the street, we are searching for something in them that
parallels our own logic, unbeknownst to us we do find it, not aware that we have, that is
why we can sit side by side, and exist.
I choose to look at people and find something good in each, after all we are very complex.
Man is fundamentally good, without love it would not be so.
My favourite way of communication is the mobile phone. This is mostly because, it is cheaper,
easy to use, easily accessible, movable, easily fit in the bags and pockets, could be used for
using the internet and other necessary applications, cheaper call rate and offer effective
communication.
I have a personal mobile phone and when someone calls me, I can see the information of the
caller and receive the phone using the touch or tap in a button. After the conversation is done, I
just need to put the phone in the pocket. This is as simple as that. Whenever I want to call
someone, I just need to dial his/ her number and after s/he receives the call, the connection is
on. Besides the calling, someone can easily send and receive texts on the phones which also
serve a good way of communicating others. I own a cell phone for more than 10 years and I find
it very convenient for communication on personal and official matters.
There are many reasons I prefer this way communication. First of all, it is easy to carry and we
can take it wherever we go. The calling rates are very cheap nowadays and we can refill the
credit of our cell phones very easily. Calling locally and internationally both are supported and
hence I prefer to have it as my primary way of communication. Phone calls reach the recipient
instantly unlike mail and email and this is why this is a very efficient way of communication when
we need to reach someone urgently.
