2. sex eduaction.

3. Nowadays before 20years old, students are having sex relationship with other students. Because of this an irresponsible conduct, there are many bad results such as unwanted pregnancy, dropout. We cannot prohibit all youth sex relationship. But I think these bad result could be prevented. For example school have to teach the right sex and contraception.

5. Debate regarding the teaching of sex education in school has been ongoing, with the recent comment from the teacher`s union saying that teachers are not trained to teach sex education.

I agree with both the need for sex education in school and also the reservation of teaching sex education. I disagree, however, that sex education will lead to more premarital sex. But poor handling of the subject can lead to students being exposed to half-truths that can be detrimental.

How can we approach sex education in schools? First, we can introduce a half-weekly counselling office in all secondary schools staffed by a qualified nurse trained in counselling adolescents.

2. Cyberbullying

3. Nowadays young people are easily exposed to harmful media. Indiscriminately harmful material on the Internet that appears to threaten the safety of children are. But it was not strongly sanctioned so many damages occur. Previously many warnings that threaten emotion of youth are reported but we neglect them. Now that we know seriousness of the situation, we should make the policy to protect youth.

5. Cyberbullying is an imprecise label for online activities ranging from barrages of teasing texts to sexually harassing group sites. The extent of the phenomenon is hard to quantify. But one 2010 study by the Cyberbullying Research Center, an organization founded by two criminologists who defined bullying as "willful and repeated harm” inflicted through phones and computers, said one in five middle-school students had been affected.

Its amorphous nature and the rapidly changing technological landscape have made it difficult for schools and even the courts to address the cyberbullying. Few families in Long Island, for instance, were aware of Formspring, a site where users invite anonymous questions or comments, until after the March 2010 suicide of a 17-year-old West Islip soccer player who had received many nasty messages.

2. how parents raise their children in modern society.

3. Nowadays how can parents deal with their children? what parents should have in order to raise their children desirably? everything is quickly changed per day.

When I was 11 years old, I did not feel any need for mobile phones. At that time, kids with mobile phones seems to be rare. But, smart phones like IPhone, BlackBerry are one of the necessities in modern society. Even not yet the elementary school kids who carry a cell phone can be seen. The current situation we and their parents faced is totally different from our times. So parents should devise measures if they don't want one step behind in the world of a trend.

5. For the past few years, Andreas Haralambou has performed the same ritual. “Can I have a cellphone?” he asks his dad. “When you’re older,” his dad says. “Every year I ask him, because I get older every year,” Andreas, now 11 and still cellphoneless, said the other day.

If Andreas had one, he could keep a virtual pet alien with the Furdiburb app, play the video game Doodle Jump and not get bored when his friends ignore him to watch videos on YouTube.
