What is Helium

About me - Stacey Cavanagh

I'm 24 and from North West England.

I absolutely adore the smell of coffee, waking up on sunny mornings, going to bed on rainy evenings, towels fresh from the radiator, overly hyperactive dogs, Paris in the winter and laughing until my sides ache.

Relationships & Family > Family Dysfunction What is considered a 'bad home life': 3 of 43
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... More..

'Freebies' is a common search term. After all, we all love something for nothing, don't we? But when you analyse the catches and the conditions, is it really possible to get anything free online? Yes. It is. That is the good news. There are various types of freebies you can find online. There's promotional freebies, whereby ... More..
Education > Teachers & Administrators Should teachers be held accountable for low student test scores?: 4 of 39
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... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Child abuse: 26 of 216
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 ... More..
Business > Website Marketing & SEO Are SEO consultants worth the money?: 1 of 6
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... More..
Relationships & Family > Break-Ups & Exes Getting back with your ex: 6 of 30
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... More..
Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: The Phantom of the Opera: 2 of 9
Imagine a beautiful, breathtaking piece of architecture whose brilliance can be easily seen for miles around Paris. It is the nineteenth century and this wonderful theatre is frequented by hundreds of people every night looking to be entertained. While the owners count their cash, their changes and refusal to accept the exis... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Is homosexuality natural?: 15 of 60
I'm a straight female and I consider myself no different and certainly no more natural than a gay female. The gay people I have spoken to (many of my friends being homosexual)tell me they just instinctively knew that they were attracted to people of the same sex. And what on Earth is wrong with that? The bible would have us ... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Teen Challenges Should parents teach children how to drink alcohol responsibly or maintain a no-use policy at home?: 13 of 46
I was allowed to drink at home as a teenager growing up. Before you all begin envisaging a broken home, alcoholic parents, and a teenager gone wild, allow me to elaborate. I was fortunate to attend a rather good school for girls. I was brought up by my mother and my grandmother, with whom I had and continue to enjoy, at 24, ... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: A love turned cold: 4 of 12
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... More..
