Almost every day we can see news about some resident here beating up someone or a teenager bullying other pupils . All this news has one thing in common . Discipline problems . These occurences cannot be taken lightlybecause if we let it go too far , much more serious incidents may happen and even death , in the long run . These incidents happen mainly because of that person not receiving enough care from their parents . As parents , they are entasked with the responsibility of bringing up a loving child , and not a problem causing citizen . Furthermore , peer pressure can also be one of the other outstanding factors which causes a person to experience discipline problems . This is because when someoen sees their friends doing something which they think is cool ,  they may also want to join in the fun . What they actually don’t know is that these acts may actually be offences against the law which may end up in them getting in trouble . To overcome these problems , the person must first be aware of the problems he or she is going through . Then , they can either seek advice from a counsellor or actually approach one of their close friends who can offer proper advice on how to get on the right track in life .

Nowadays , almost every student is judged based on his or her’s ability to score well in exams . Although many know that exam results are going to determine their future someway or another , many students still dont prepare themselves well enough to do well when they very well know that this will come to bite them back sometimes in the future . There are many parties tha can motivate a student to study , one of them being the student themself . In this case , the student must understand the importance of doing well and he or she must know the right learning methods in order to do well . Furthermore , the students parents also must encourage their children to do well in exams . As parents , they must take the initiative to ensure their children do all their homework as well as send their children for tuition classes . With this , their child will have all the basic necessities to do well in school . Finally , teachers also play a pivotal role in ensuring students do well in school . This is because they are the mentors who must teach their students the correct information and proper answering techniques to answer all their questions in their exams . In conclusion , their are a variety of people that can actually encourage a student to do well in school . 

During the month of February every year , two important days stand out amongst the other days . First of all , there is Chinese New year which is celebrated by a vast majority of Chinese yearly . Other than that , Valentine’s day also falls on the 14th of February yearly . Although many people are actually open and enjoy both these important celebrations , i actually dislike these days very much . First of all , why must be limit ourselves to show our love on only one day of the year ? If we truly love someone , shouldn’t we try our best to make them feel appreaciated as often as we can and not only show how much we care on that one day only ? On the other hand , during Chinese New Year , fireworks can be heard almost at all times . Although this may not be a hindrance to the younger generation , the older generation actually find all these disturbances quite annoying . Imagine being in their footsteps...would you like to be woken up late at night or kept awake because of all these noisy firecrackers . In cocclusion , although many people actually enjoy Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year , i believe there is a small downside to this enjoyable occasions . 

     This wil be my last year in school . How time flies . Only yesterday i remember walking into class on the first day of my secondary school life , thinking of all the amazing new experiences i was gonna go through ,  all the new friends i would make and so on . Well , it has been one heck of a ride . But as the saying goes , life does go on , whether we want it to or not . The next thing i'm looking forward to , after SPM of course , is college . The major question mark in my life though , is my job . But first of all to get a job , i must attend a job interview .

     This is where a lot of people , not only from Malaysia , but from all over the world , struggle to grasp the concept of a job interview . First of all , you need to confirm the time and date of your inteview . With that in mind , find appropriate clothes based on the dress code . For guys . a suit and tie would be just nice  whereas for girls , a blazer with  skirt and a shirt should be just fine . After that , you must read up and do your research about the background of the company . With this , you will be ready for any questions asked regarding the company during the interview . Lastly , be there on time and mind your manners at all times .

     With these few steps , a job interview , which may seem stressful at first , will become a piece of cake . Just make sure to stay by these steps and you will do just fine on any interview .

     Nowadays in Malaysia , road users have other issues to be worried of other than the usual threat of accidents . Road bullies . These people , or should i call them animals , have been around for the past decade or so , but only now , have they decided to show their true colours on the roads in our beloved nation . Although they claim they have perfetly good reasons for commiting their acts of violence , the endless recordings by other road users or pedestrians have proved otherwise . In general , road bullying can be defined as an instance in which one road user threathens , be it by hand or by using weapons , other road users . In most circumstances , these incidents occur after accidents , where the road bully gets out of his car to violently confront the other victim(s) of the accident .

     Road bullies should be duly punished for the crimes they've commited . The question that has has been weighing on everyone 's mind though , is what kind of punishment should be dished out to them? In my view , they should not only be given lengthy prison sentences , but also given additional punishments , such as community service or in really severe cases , public caning .

     This will teach them the importance of always being nice to others and not just simply threathening whoever they wish . From this , they will be able to move on in life and lead a better life in general due to the valuable lessons they would have learnt from the consequences of road bullying .

Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. In trying to please everyone. they take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.

There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, whether it is in the form of coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become addictive. In the end, like other drugs. caffeine only leads to more stress. A better way to deal with stress is to exercise: Research has proved that physical exercise is a good release for stress, because it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. Making sure you get enough sleep is also an important way of avoiding stress and of staying healthy and full of energy.

Another way to avoid stress is by managing your time effectively. It is better to do a few tasks really well, than lots of tasks badly. Know your limits and try not to take on too much. Finally, If it all gets beyond your control, don't panic or get hysterical. Find the time to sit down quietly and breathe deeply for ten to twenty minutes. Do this regularly, and it will help you calm down and put things into perspective.

Well nowadays at school ,  things have been a lot more differen than they usually are . The biggest difference is that , SMKDJ HAS REVETED TO A SINGLE SESSION SCHOOL . Haih . Gone are the days where we could just take our own sweet time to walk down to the canteen to buy our food because nowadays with over 200 students in the canteen at a time , it is almost impossible to buy food , find a place to sit , and finish our food all within 30 minutes . As if that wasn't enough , some of our favourite stalls , especially the roti canai stall and the drinks stall have all been taken  away from us . And now , they have got even better stalls with amzingly high prices . Haih . School these days have just become too much to deal with . From too much homework to an extension of schooling hours , almost eveything new implemented this year has gone against the wishes of all the students . The only patch of sunshine amongst all this darkness is that the co-corricular timetable has also been rectified , not only reducing the allocated time for each activity , but also helping the students getting it over and done with every week as soon as possible . Thank god that this is my last year in high school though , so i only have to bear with all these nonsense for only a few more months....
