Bullying: A Menace to Academic Performance
   Bullying encapsulates a plethora of academic consequences, for it is the reason behind school dropout and deterioration of the scholar results. To start with, bullying can lead to fear of school and absenteeism. A school where children don’t feel safe and secure is a school where children struggle to learn; it’s a school where kids dropout and tune out. To illustrate, according to statistics reported by ABC News in 2012, 160,000 kids stay home away from school because of fear of bullying. Moreover, from bullying and corporal punishment to sexual assault, violence at schools affects the scholar results of students and confuses their thoughts. Bullying, verbal harassment, substance abuse, and disruptive classrooms all interfere with a student’s ability to learn.  As an example, a study conducted by Virginia High School Safety suggests that teasing and bullying at the high school level is a noteworthy problem that is associated with the most serious negative outcome, failure to graduate. It’s a big mental and emotional impact in which one feels unaccepted, isolated, angry, and withdrawn. In conclusion, bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school-aged children and involves a real power imbalance. Thus, one should be armed with self-confidence and determination to beat and combat all sorts of bullying.

A high level of bullying was consistently associa...

Superstitions: A Spine-Chilling Place             “Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived.” This quote implies and asserts that science cannot solve the mystery of nature that is because, in the latest analysis, human beings themselves are a part of that mystery. Mystery school, or in other words, superstitions are not just some type of mind trip, but they are the science of tomorrow. The biggest gap in one’s life is what one knows and doesn’t know. Life is a mystery, faith works like a riddle. No one really knows what lies behind the voices with no bodies.
