How A Plant Grows

The growth of a plant involves several stages. Fast, a plot of land is

selected. The land is next dug well with the help of the spade. The soil is ground
into dust and manure both biological and the chemical is added to the soil. Then
seeds are collected from the market and sown on the bed. A very thin layer of
soil is put all over the bed. The bed is next covered with a layer of straw and
watered either with a sprinkler or in some other way. After a few days, the cover
is removed and new shoots would be found coming up. The growing weeds are
then removed from time to time. Foliage branches are seen spreading and the
plants start growing fast. At last, each of these saplings is transferred to new
places.

Say NO to Bullying!

There are many different kinds of violence. One of them is called bullying. The
victims of this violence are mostly kids and teenagers around the ages of 10-18.
Bullying is when someone says mean things to someone in person or on a social
network. Most of the time it happens in the social network because kids think that by
making fun of someone in a social network area, they won’t get in trouble with an
adult. This is one of the worst violence in the world because it is between kids and
teenagers. Most of the teenagers today have very low self-esteem because of the
media. They haven’t yet found what they want to do with their lives, so, by saying
mean things to them, it won’t help them be successful since they think that what they
are saying is true.
If you see someone that is being bullied over the internet or at school, contact
an adult or confront the person yourself. If we all stand up together against bullying,
the world will be a better place. You might think that the one that you are making fun
of is a monster because of the stuff he or she has done, but in reality, you are the
monster for making them feel worse.
