Every day thousands of teens wake up afraid to go to school.

Bullying is a problem that affects millions of students of all races

and classes. Bullying has everyone worried, not just the kids on
its receiving end. Yet because parents, teachers, and other
adults don't always see it, they may not understand how extreme
bullying can get. Bullying is when a person is picked on over and
over again by an individual or group with more power, either in
terms of physical strength or social standing. Two of the main
reasons people are bullied are because of appearance and
social status. Bullies pick on the people they think don't fit in,
maybe because of how they look, how they act (for example, kids
who are shy and withdrawn), their race or religion, or because
the bullies think their target may be gay or lesbian. Some bullies
attack their targets physically, which can mean anything from
shoving or tripping to punching or hitting, or even sexual assault.
Others use psychological control or verbal insults to put
themselves in charge. For example, people in popular groups or
cliques often bully people they categorize as different by
excluding them or gossiping about them (psychological bullying).
They may also taunt or tease their targets (verbal bullying).
Verbal bullying can also involve sending cruel instant or email
messages or even posting insults about a person on a website —
practices that are known as cyberbullying. One of the most
painful aspects of bullying is that it is relentless. Most people can
take one episode of teasing or name calling or being shunned at
the mall. However, when it goes on and on, bullying can put a
person in a state of constant fear. Guys and girls who are bullied
may find their schoolwork and health suffering. Amber began
having stomach pains and diarrhea and was diagnosed with a
digestive condition called irritable bowel syndrome as a result of
the stress that came from being bullied throughout ninth grade.
Mafooz spent his afternoons hungry and unable to concentrate in
class because he was too afraid to go to the school cafeteria at
lunchtime. Studies show that people who are abused by their
peers are at risk for mental health problems, such as low self-
esteem, stress, depression, or anxiety. They may also think
about suicide more. Bullies are at risk for problems, too. Bullying
is violence, and it often leads to more violent behavior as the
bully grows up. It's estimated that 1 out of 4 elementary-school
bullies will have a criminal record by the time they are 30. Some
teen bullies end up being rejected by their peers and
losefriendships as they grow older. Bullies may also fail in school
and not have the career or relationship success that other people
enjoy. (Disponível em:

Alcohol is the drug most commonly used and abused by

adolescents. It is responsible for the 3 major causes of
death in this age group: motor vehicle accidents,
unintentional injuries, and homicide. In fact, postmortem
studies show that in 45% to 50% of violent deaths involving
adolescents, alcohol had been consumed by both victims
and perpetrators. Yet, alcohol use and abuse is the most
commonly missed teenage diagnosis. Although it is illegal
for minors to purchase alcohol in most parts of the United
States, many adolescents say that getting alcohol is 'very
easy or fairly easy.' (Disponível em:

 Star Wars is an epic space franchise conceived by George

Lucas. The first film in the franchise was originally released on
May 25, 1977, by 20th Century Fox, and became a worldwide
pop culture phenomenon, spawning two immediate sequels,
released at three-year intervals. Sixteen years after the release
of the trilogy's final film, the first in a new prequel trilogy of films
was released, again released at three-year intervals, with the
finalfilm released on May 19, 2005. As of 2008, the overall box
office revenue generated by the six Star Wars films has totalled
approximately $4.3 billion, making it the third-highest-grossing
film series, behind only the James Bond and Harry Potter films.
The Star Wars film series has spawned other media including
books, television series, video games, and comic books. These
supplements to the film trilogies comprise the Star Wars
Expanded Universe, and have resulted in significant
development of the series' fictional universe. These media kept
the franchise going in the interim between the film trilogies. In
2008, Star Wars: The Clone Wars was released to theaters as
the first ever worldwide theatrical Star Wars film outside of the
main trilogies. It was the franchise's first animated film, and was
intended as an introduction to the Expanded Universe series of
the same name, a 3D CGI animated series based on a previous
2D animated series of a similar name.

The record industry

The record industry is undoubtedly in crisis, with labels laying off

employees in continuation. This is because CD sales are
plummeting as youngsters prefer to download their music from the
Internet, usually free of charge.

And yet it’s not all gloom and doom. Some labels are in fact thriving.
Putumayo World Music, for example, is growing, thanks to is
catalogue of ethnic compilation albums, featuring work by largely
unknown artists from around the planet.

Putumayo, which takes its name from a valley in Colombia, was

founded in New York in 1993. It began life as an alternative clothing
company, but soon decided to concentrate on music. Indeed its
growth appears to have coincided with that of world music as a
genre.

Hip hop music

Hip hop music is a musical genre which developed as part of hip

hop culture, and is defined by key stylistic elements such as rapping,
D.Jing, sampling (or synthesis), scratching and beatboxing. Hip hop
began in the South Bronx of New York City in the 1970s. The term
rap is often used synonymously with hip hop, but hip hop denotes
the practices of an entire subculture.

Brazilian hip hop is one of the world’s major hip hop scenes, with
active rap, break dance, and graffiti scenes, especially in São Paulo,
where groups tend to have a more international style, influenced by
old school hip hop and gangsta rap.

Brazilian rap has served as a reflection of political, social, and racial

issues plaguing the disenfranchised youth in the suburbs of São
Paulo and Rio. The lyrical content, band names, and song names
used by Brazilian hip hop artists often connote the socio-political
issues surrounding their communities.

Crystal Ball
Come see your life in my Crystal glass –
Twenty-five cents is all you pay
Let me look into your past –
Here’s what you had for lunch today:
Tuna salad and mashed potatoes.

Well, I know it, I confess,
Not by looking, in my ball,
But just by looking at your dress.
