My London trip

Last Thursday I went in London with the school for four days. It was incredible. I really loved and enjoyed it.

On Thursday, at 02:00 am, we went to Barcelona to take a plane. We arrived in London at 12:00 pm. We took a bus to go to the hostel. After we arrived at the hostel we went to see Big Ben, for that we took the underground. I was the first time I took the underground, it was quite funny. In the same afternoon we saw where David Cameron, Prime Minister, lives. We also crossed Trafalgar Square to go to the British Museum. After the Museum, we went to Picadilly Circus.

On Friday, we first went to the Shakespeare Museum, The Globe theatre, then, we went to the business centre, we ate something there and after we went to see Tower Bridge. After we went again to Picadilly Circus.

On Saturday, we went to Camden Town. In the afternoon we went to the Natural History Museum and to the Science Museum. Then, we went, again, to Picadilly Circus, because at night we had to go to a musical, called "Once", a love story set in Ireland.

On Sunday, we could choose where to go. Some people went to Picadilly Circus, others to Covent Garden and others to Buckingham Palace. I went to Buckingham Palace and I really loved it. It could be my future house! Buckingham Palace and the park in front are huge, incredible.

Unfortunately everything has an end. At 14:00 pm we went to the airport to come back home. At 23:00 pm we were back.

However, it was a perfect weekend!

Teenagers and alcohol

A lot of teenagers, 16-17 years-old, drink alcohol when they're in a party. I'm one of these teenagers. Last night it was carnival in my town and I had a really bad experience because of alcohol. Fortunately, my friend and I are fine, anything serious has happened. I think we did it because these last weeks we had a lot of exams and we were stressed and it was the first party night that we had since a lot. But we have learned about last night that we haven't to drink a lot if we are not with our parents or an adult who can keep an eye on us.

A lot of teenagers think that drink alcohol in a party it's cool or they think that it's the only method for have fun but it is not. If you are with people that you like, you can have a fun time without alcohol. Every year, a lot of teenagers die because of the alcohol. I also can say, and it's serious, that some people from school, who have the same age as me, are like alcoholic. They go to party every weekend and they always come back at home drunk. And, the most serious, is that parents of these people don't say anything. If my son/daughter come back at home drunk every weekend I will punish him/her. If he/she go to party one night every month or every two month and he/she come back at home drunk one night it's not a problem, this can happen to everyone.

For the moment I have never been drunk so much so don't remember what happened, I have always remembered what I did and I have always gone back at home conscious.

But, all of this prove that the majority of the shops allow the sell of alcohol to teenagers. I know that we can get alcohol in other ways, but if shops stop to sell alcohol to teenagers, there may be less problems because of alcohol.

Lottie's experience

An anorexic girl was suspended from a private school in case she started 'copycat' cases.

Lottie's mother said: "Without a doubt one of the main reasons Lottie wasn't allowed back to school was because she was someone who lots of people looked up to. In the head teacher's eyes, she may well have inspired copycat disorders". "She became obsessed with her weight and appearance. She would look at pictures of celebrities in magazines and on the internet and was convinced she was fat and ugly."

Lottie Twiselton, 16 years old, has spent the last two years fighting with the eating disorder- one of this years in the hospital. But, when she recover and was ready to rejoin her classmates at the Northamption High School, they told her, her inclusion "would be too disruptive".

Lottie left school to go to London in a specialist clinic after she developed that disorder at the age of 14.

When she could leave the hospital she hoped to go back to school but school said it didn't want her to return until she was well enough.

Now, Lottie is in a new school, Quinton House School, in Upton. The fact that she was rejected from her school was devastating. She said: "I was very upset about it. I almost died and without the support of my friends I would not have pulled trough". "I was completely ready to go back and be with them and just get back to normal but I was told the school weren't able to have me back. It would have given me such a boost to my progress".

Lottie's father, Robert, has also attacked the school. He said: "The school's response to Lottie coming back was pretty poor. People suffering from anorexia are encouraged to work towards a particular goal and Lottie was working towards getting back into school and to be with her friends. This was all taken away from her when the head teacher made it clear she was not welcome back. Lottie has shown remarkable courage and determination to get this point. Anorexia, particularly amongst teenage girls is not as uncommon as people think and schools need to be aware of that."

He was worried about his daughter's life.

"At its worst, we thought this might be it for Lottie. She needed to be forcibly fed through a tube and she went from a happy, healthy teenager to nothing at all. Claire and I divorced a few years ago and we have considered whether this had an impact on Lottie."

School answered: "The school responded to say that they were very keen to support Lottie’s integration but remained of the view that it would be preferable to wait until Lottie was well enough to return on a full-time basis.  The health and well being of our pupils is at the heart of everything we do... The professional view of the head and her team was that an interrupted part-time programme in a crucial year would not be in the interests of Lottie’s welfare or education. To say that Lottie was excluded is simply not true as is the assertion we were concerned about copycat issues. In school our approach is very pro-active and open in talking about and raising awareness of such issues through a variety of means including PSHCE lessons, tutorial support, extra-curricular sessions where guest speakers address the girls and parent talks/workshops, as well as having a full time nurse and the services of a school counsellor.'

I think that Lottie is very courageous. However, how the school has reacted is very sad because, Lottie recovered and school administration rejected her just to not have any problems and that's not correct.

Welcome Eric!

Simon Cowell admits that he loves to be a father "I was born to be a dad...it would be cool to have two or three!"

The girlfriend of the 54-year-old star, Lauren Silverman, gave birth to their first child, a little boy called Eric, last month. He said that he always believed that he will be a good father. Eric was born on February 14 in New York.

The music mogul was reduced to tears when he saw his son for the first time.

He said: 'I actually said to Lauren beforehand, "What if I like the dogs more than him?" and she said, "You're gonna be absolutely fine," and then literally within seconds of him being born, I got it!'

The couple named their baby boy Eric, like Simon's late father and went back to England to meet Simon's mother Julie for the first time. Simon said about his mother: "I think she's told the whole village...she's really excited. I look at him, Eric, and I think of my dad all the time, so it's a really good thing".

Meanwhile, Simon said that they are thinking about having more children as he would like little Eric to have a brother or a sister to play with.

He said: "I wouldn't rule out (more children). Well, I got my dogs, and I can't imagine just one of them...I had a brother when I was younger, so I kind of thing it's cool to have two or three...two".

Tattoos?

I love tattoos. I think tattoos can define people. With tattoos you can know how that person is or, above all, you can know the style and what that person likes. Since you can define people thanks their tattoos you can do the same, you can define your style with them. Tattoos are very popular among famous people. A lot of them are popular for their tattoos, extravagant tattoos. Sometimes, they are not very beautiful because those people make them just for the attention.

Tattoos can be small,big, with colours or just black. Personally I prefer black tattoos. I think all tattoos have to have a meaning, because they will stay forever, well they are made for stay forever, now you can delete them with laser. But, if you make a tattoo it's for something. However, never, never make a tattoo of the name of a boyfriend/girlfriend, because you don't know what can happen.

Personally, I want tattoos, discreet tattoos, because tattoos are not always accepted for jobs. I want the sentence "one dream..." on the inside of my left arm. I also want a clover on the left of my hip. These are the two tattoos I want for the moment, they are discreet and they have a meaning for me. I don't know, maybe I will want to have more tattoos when I am older, maybe the name of my children or something else, why not? But always in places where they don't cause a nuisance for work.
