TGC orientation day.

Today we went to Tauranga Girls College (TGC) and had our orientation day for next year. At first all of the coming yr9 girls were in the hall and we had to listen to Ms Bird who is the deputy principal tell us a bit about the school and then we had to listen to our head girl who give us a speech, that was really cool. Then all the girls got put into little groups and went for a tour around the school. During the tour we had to look for little things around the school and we had to tick them off on the little sheet they gave us at the start of the tour. After that we came back to the hall and got dismissed from the hall. I thought that the tour was really good and I found out that I don't have to worry about getting lost because we can ask anyone about anything and most of them should help me.      

Lorde dance moves.

Link to article

My opinion is. I do not think that Tau Henare has the right to say to Lorde that her dance moves looked like she had epilepsy. It is an insult to Lorde and the people who actually have epilepsy.

I have never just unintentionally offended someone that I know of, but I have offended someone protecting somebody eles.

Life Ed Summery.

The main message of Life Ed was to "Delay the Decision" We applied this to drugs and alcohol. These are a few things we learnt.

How drugs affect the brain
MEMORY
REASONING
JUDGEMENT
MECHANICAL SKILLS
INTELLECT
CONCENTRATION
EMOTIONS

These are all jobs of the brain that get affected when drugs are used. We learnt that drugs can make a persons emotions can take over people intellect.

4 parts of the brain (the highlighted parts are the parts of the brain that get affected by drugs)
- Long term memory
- Short term memory
- Today's thinking
- Future thinking

Michael once told us that there was a man that was taking drugs who walked his daughter to school and when they got there she realised she had forgotten something. The father got very mad, shot her and buried her. He also tried to help the police find her, even though he already knew where she was buried.

Puberty
Michael taught us that puberty takes 7 years and can be described as 7 rungs of a ladder. He also said that puberty can start as early as 9 or as late as 16. This is simply because, everyone is different. The sad thing is though it is very common for people to take drugs while going through puberty. This is very concerning as puberty is the worst time to take drugs. In the majority of personal stories Michael told us the people started drugs at the age 13 which is quite scary because that is the age of people at my school! Most people start drugs because of parties which has taught me to be aware of situations where I may be offered drugs.

Ways to say no to drugs
During Life Ed we learnt an acronyms that can help us to say no to drugs,

R Give a reason
E Give an excuse
A ssertive
C hange the subject
H umour

W alk away
I gnore
T ell someone or toughen up
S ay no

Why teenagers are more affected by drugs
In Life Ed we learnt a few acronyms that explain why teenagers are more affected by drugs than adults.

F aster
A bsorption
R ate

L ess
E ffective
M etabolic
S ystem

G reater
I mpact on
B rain

G reater
A ddiction
P otential

Alcohol 
We learnt that alcohol is the drug that is most likely to be offered to us in our lifetime. Michael said that out of a large group only a small amount will get involved with illegal drugs but a larger amount will get involved with alcohol. We can apply REACH WITS to an alcohol situation as well which I've think will be really handy. Alcohol can also be used sensibly which I intend to do. I will remember not to over dose as that's when problems happen. When used incorrectly alcohol can be very dangerous and I hope not to use it in that way.

Overall I learnt many things that can help me to "Delay the Decision" I sincerely hope that I can use my new knowledge from Life Ed to help me if I ever find myself in a sticky situation including drugs or alcohol.

addiction poem

Walking up the ladder, year after year, waiting to make the big decision coming up somewhere.

watching others take the drug choose you decisions wisely and don't become an addic thug.

But one night at a party you take the pill that makes you ill and raises your bill, you look at your reflection in the mirror and think to your self I have to be a quitter.

Day by day, night by night things are though but get better in site.

"MUM, where are my favourite socks" I asked yelling for help. 

"And where are my tuesday undies" asked dad searching through his draws "you know I have to wear them today." 

"Just wear mondays undies, no one is going to know" replied Mum "no ones going to know you say, i'm going to know, and to wear Mondays undies pfft, that would be idiotic," Dad answered back with a streak in his voice. 

This was only the beginning of our family disaster, for the next few weeks. Things were starting to disappear and fast, with dad losing his tuesday undies, and me losing my favourite socks. Isaac then lost his favourite bow tie, while mum then lost her favorite dress. We thought we were going mental. 

"Its not like they could just hop up and run away," said Isaac. Mum suggested, that we recap our steps "When was the last time you had you items?" she said. 

we all replied, before washing day was the last time we had them. 

"So maybe its the washing machine thats caused all this drama," Mum said with a glimpse a hope in her eyes. We checked the washing machine there was… nothing with nothing to prove, I decided to put a GoPro in the machine, to watch it in action, to see if there was something suspicious really happening inside. What I didn’t realize was that the washing machine would take my GoPro too. "AHHH ITS GONE," I yelled at the top of my voice, what are we going to do. 

"Lets just give up," mum said to me. 

"Fine if that’s the best idea" I moaned.

"Morning class," greeted Miss Green. It was an ordinary day and everyone was sitting at their wooden desks with pens and pencils. By their side the sweet sound of voices filling the room brought music to my ears, I decide to listen in on Brittney's conversation with Ella OMG. 

"Last night I reached into my bag to get out my book and it wasn’t there," explained Brittney. 

"No way," replied Ella. 

That exact thing happened to me, I was sure I put it into my bag, this is a little strange, I thought to myself why where things disappearing?

Eventually the bell went and it was time to go home. I told my mum what I had witnessed at school and she was lost for words. That night I couldn't get Brittney and Ella's conversation out of my head, I grabbed my laptop out of my bag to google this mystery, as I unzipped the case I looked down only to see that there was no laptop in my bag, this is insane I decided to look in my other pocket of my bag and to my surprise my lunch box was also missing.

The sun was shining, birds singing, it seemed like an ordinary day, I walked into my class that is usually full of colour but not today, my class looked like a prison cell, 

"What happened" I gasped. 

"Don't worry kids" assured miss green. "We have a thief in our class and I am going to get to the bottom of this." 

One by one miss green started checking our bags, everyone seemed relaxed, exept for James. Miss Green made her way down the line and ames was last to be checked 

"Oh," said Miss Green looking rather lost "what is this," she asked James as she pulled out two books, a pencil case, my laptop and two class posters from James's bag.

"I was utterly shocked to say the least I am so sorry," cried James "its just that everyone has laptops or books and our class is so colourful that I wanted to take some of it home to make my house look better, the truth is that you should be happy with what you have and not want stuff from other people."
