Education > Teachers & Administrators Should teachers be held accountable for low student test scores?: 2 of 36

Teachers are often the obvious scapegoat in a situation where a pupil is underperforming. Afterall, they are the visible faces of education. But actually, I really believe that what a teacher can achieve is always either limited or furthered by certain other aspects of the pupil's life. Parents have to take their responsibil...
Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes Getting back with your ex: 2 of 18

My own personal experience of attempting to get back with an ex was a negative one. The first time around it ended in tears. The second time around it ended (quickly) in tears, tantrums, bitterness and a lot of resentment. But my relationship was just one relationship! The question of whether you should get back with an ex o...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Child abuse: 36 of 198

Big blue eyes filling with tears, A single teardrop for each of his fears. Tiny fingers curled up tight As he stands alone in his cot at night. An innocent mind, unpolluted so far, By the evils of man and the way that we are. The smallest little ears just listening out, For the opening door and the screams and the shouts. A ...
Creative Writing > Humor Humor: Bad breath: 2 of 9

If I have a bit of a heavy night, perhaps indulging in a little too much to drink and then deciding that I absolutely have to have some hideous form of kebab before the world will be ok again, I will undoubtedly wake up the next morning with a pretty bad taste in my mouth. I will groan, wonder what form of genetically modifi...
Relationships & Family > Family Dysfunction What is considered a 'bad home life': 6 of 25

What defines a "bad home life" depends entirely upon who you ask. As teenagers, we all had days that we thought we had a terrible home life for the silliest reasons. I recall my Grandmother chasing a boyfriend of mine she was not so keen on away from the front door with a rolled up newspaper. I don't think I have ever seen a...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A love turned cold: 4 of 16

Memories cascade into A fountain of images in the twilight hour. And I lie in bed and wonder Of the 'what ifs' and 'what nots', The 'maybes', 'buts' and 'oh if onlys'. But it's over now and he has gone, The moment's passed and I'm alone. And acceptance lingers In the distance somewhere, Slightly beyond my grasp, Yet well wit...
Computers & Technology > Internet Tips How to monetize your Wordpress blog: 1 of 4

Whether you host your own Wordpress blog or you have a free account on wordpress.com, you are able to turn those views and clicks into money. This is particularly good news for those whose content attracts a high number of re...
Business > Website Marketing & SEO Are SEO consultants worth the money?: 2 of 7

SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the process of improving where your website ranks on Google and the other major search engines for searches relating to your site. For example, if you had a website that deals in selling football merchandise, you would hope to appear highly in the search results for the search term, 'fo...
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Growing up: 33 of 90

I'm twenty one, so much more grown up than I was ten, five or even three years ago. At sixteen I thought I was there, adulthood. I thought I was smart, knowledgeable, mature and pretty much as worldly wise as I could be. I look back on that now and laugh, probably as I will do about this article when I'm thirty. In truth, I'...
Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies Should the national drinking age be lowered to 18?: 8 of 20

I am a resident of the UK, where the drinking age is already 18. I genuinely believe that lowering the age at which someone can buy alcohol in the USA to 18 would be fair and consistent. We believe our young people responsible enough to vote at 18. We believe that they have enough maturity about them at this age to take a de...
