The magic potion for happiness

 Are you truly happy?

We comprehend this emtion like to fullfill us in everything we do. Fo 25% of people exist in material things and in the other hand 75% of people believe in happiness with their family and friends.

In my blog I'm going to talk abour it's pretend, my personal experience and materialism such as ilusion.

Pretend Happiness 

                                              

Currently I ask my mom's opinion, she is psychologyst and she told me that more than 100 millon of people post happiness and fullfilment. I wonder, how many of those users feel anxiety, depression, anger and fear?

It is nomal to say in that way, however the path that we use to express our feelings is not always the right one. What I mean by this? If we feel anger, we are not going to take it out, hit or yell with the first person we meet. We have to calm down and find the opportunity to say it. Other emotions are important not only happiness.

My personal experience 

Breathing is the best way to express yourself, it is because according to my experience, believe me that exploding is not the best way to solve things, rather it makes the situation worse.

The last year in school, I always had bad days, discussions with my parents and friends, that when I think that everything was going well, again something happens.

One of those days I had a discussion with my mother (again), then I arrived to school, another fight with my best friend and my classmates, that by the end of the day, I didn't want to play to play volleyball and I started to cry and a success of terrible event unchaind I express my anger, anxiety and sadness against my best friend and friend.

After 5 hours I realized what I had done, I apologized and things changed.

Think what you want to do sometimes the things changed forever and don't return.

Materialism VS Happiness

Materialism and capitalism. You don't thing that they are connected? In my opinion capitalism priority is consume, buy and economy, nothing else. What happens if in a country their leader or president support capitalism and to make it worse his campaing is based on one phrase: "Happiness in a single purchase"? 

People buy, feel happy one day, then time passes, and as they saw that this didn't work; which is the another alternative? Right: pills, pills for happiness. No, no and no. All of this does not give you true fullfillment. Actually people noticed more in material things that in emotions and moments.

Let's become aware, materialism is not everything in life. It is nice buying something for yourself, nevertheless if it is in excess, it is wrong, everything with excess is wrong. 

Happiness is built with over the years. It is not thing of day and it is all. Moments, friends, family, passions, music, study, every single thing in our lifes can male true happiness. 

"Happiness does not need to be ingested, because it is already there, you only need someone who helps you find it". Belinda. 

A mark can make a difference

I had the chance of watching the movie "Freedom Writters" and what caught my attention the most was that throughout the film the teacher gave each one a vote of confidence, both she and they learned something that works to improve.

This movie is a clear example of fewer opportunities and not only that, also it talks about the life of a group of students who have social problems of violence, intolerance and other problems that we can see throughtout the movie.

The context and the situation give us a reflection and hope about life and how we can change it if we ask for help.

The fact of listening someone can change everything.

Expression by writing

When students write in the diaries about their life, they can express their feelings and emotions through it.

Did the pandemic affect teenagers?

In the present, the majority of adolescents and children have suffered depression, anxiety and a wide variety of emotional changes due to the pandemic for which they have needed a mentor to guide them on that journey.

Thanks to this situation, the education of hundreds of millions of children and adolescents has been interrupted.

After a long time of being confined, the students have finally returned to class and have been able to talk with the teachers about this, many have needed separate help but I am glad to know that everything is gradually returning to normal.When Miss Gruwell read the diaries she knows about the complicated situation that these boys went through, she knew how to act by approaching the boys, gaining their trust to the point of being able to organize something nice with them, to able to show them that not everything is bad and that there exist other ways of living life.

Therefore I think that good teachers can make a difference, it can be difficult yes, but it is not impossible if people can open up and talk, why not try?

New School, New Life

Hi, I'm Olivia, I'm 15 years old, today I want to relate an experience that changed my life, this story happened a long time ago I was just 12 years old, I had just moved to Canada a few weeks ago, my parents had gotten a better job and they enrolled me in a new school, that day I remember well that I was terrified to enter my new school and to make new friends, the bad thing was that it made me very nervous and worked a lot when I spoke, I wanted that not to happen to me that day , I wanted to be as calm as possible and be received in the best way.

The day before I remember having checked the page of the new school and according to what I saw it was a very nice, spacious school and it had a laboratory that was what moved me the most because I had never seen a school have a laboratory and because I I loved everything related to science, after a crazy day at school, I came to the conclusion that nothing turned out as I expected, everything was upside down I got too nervous, everyone left me looking bad and from there what was the “New” they annoyed me a lot, they discriminated against me, they took my things from me, they discriminated against me and they didn't want to be with me.

After a while between what my classmates did to me and in general half of the school I adapted little by little, after a long time I made 2 friends who to this day are still with me, they are the best friends I have had In life, I thank you very much for being there with me at all times, I appreciated you very much and I love you, you are my favorite people in the world.

From this experience I learned to be stronger, to defend myself, to be firm with some people, to ask for help if I need it, to trust the people that I know who love me and who will always be by my side no matter what happens.
