I find it funny when people get angry that a lot of youths seem so obsessed with dancing in multiple shakes and bounces. They get angry that youths aren't "working hard" or "reading hard" all the time.

But the funny thing is, they're actually the people who often promote this obsession in the first place, albeit indirectly.

Think about it like this. When you go to a childrens' party, or any adult event where children happen to attend as well, have you never realized that the only thing they often ask children to do are dance competitions? We actively promote a culture where dancing is given so much extreme emphasis, and rewarded more than almost anything. Why else will they end up in constant worship of body movements?

2017 in a nutshell

Mary Idowu

The year 2017 started with a bang for me. Sometimes, it feels like it was just yesterday I shouted happy new year; but when the year began proper, it seemed so long and tedious and there were times when time flew and at other times when I kept watching the clock. Looking through the year now, 2017 has been very dramatic with it's highs and lows, it gave some a new lease on life and from others, it snatched quite a bit. I don't know how 2017 was for you but for me, it was a mixture of fun and annoyance. So, as the year is gradually coming to an end, here are some highlights of  2017;

Donald Trump became President: 

I was part of the small percentage of people who felt like Donald Trump would become the President, yet it still came to me as a shock when I heard the news that he actually won the election. For some reasons I felt like something could still happen and Hillary would win; but when he was sworn in as the President and he moved into the white house on the 20th of January, I realized that anyone could become anything if they really want to. It is just a matter of determination, saying and doing the right things, meeting the right people and having some sort of tough skin. I mean c'mon!! The whole world was literally against the man.

Home

So recently, I watched a woman talk about home…

And how a lot of times, we make the mistake of finding our home in other people. So every standard we expect, we place in them. We place our comfort, strength, balance and happiness in them. We get so dependent on them, that we lose the ability to walk properly on our own.

Online Advice

Ever do a google (or for reason i possibly cannot grasp - yahoo) search for something you needed help figuring out?

- Doing homework?

- Fixing a computer?

- Buying a new phone?

- Talking to girls?

I'm sure you've not only searched for help in SOMETHING, but also seen ridiculous questions and articles. You've most likely even seen a lot of useful ones too. Ones you may have never thought to look up but checked up anyway because it drew you - Maybe out of curiousity, maybe out of interest, maybe out of need or even anger.

The problem however, lies in the seemingly helpful articles that could either give you bad advice or give advice that turns out to be counterproductive.

The Hate of Aversion

What is that one thing you would NEVER do? What is something that is so repugnant or taboo to you, that the very idea repulses you when you consider yourself ever even trying** it?

For some people its killing. For some it's premarital sex. For others it's illegal drugs. For some it's changing religion. Whatever it is - it all depends on several factors. There are numerous factors in reality and a few would include your
environment,
family
Peer group
Upbringing
Religious background
Media exposure
Etc

Heck...for some people even life is something they would like to totally avoid....

Being Shy

Hi. I'm Jamike.  I'm kinda sure you knew this already but I'll try to go on with what we're here for.

Shyness. It's a dilemma for many and deemed an asset by very very few.
Have you ever wondered if you're shy?  If you're actually wondering...then it's likely you're not. If you've ever wondered whether you're outspoken.....it's most likely that you are...sorry? :P
