TIME TO CHANGE

In the great adventure of life on Earth, every species has a role to play, every species has its place. None is futile or harmful. They all balance out. It's like we are all together in our giant home, the Earth. But this beautiful dream broke down when humans entered into this paradise. Before there existed a food chain; all animals had a position in this chain - the strongest at the top and the weakest at the bottom. Generally there were larger numbers in the lower levels of the chain, this enabled those at the top to survive. If you are a sensitive person, you will feel pain for the smallest ones but this is the cycle of life, as Darwin said, this is the natural selection, the law of the strongest one.
Species are born to reproduce, this is their main function in life. Any changes to this would be devastating. For thousands of years the food chain has remained balanced - everything had its place. Until humans entered and developed. Look at the case of Australia. In that country, rabbits reproduced more than the normal average, so there were a lot and this disturbed the farmers. Therefore the "so called" intelligent scientists decided to use a poison to kill the rabbits, so they died out. In my opinion it's not the solution; neither introduce another animal that's the predator of the other.
If we continue acting in this way, we will wipe out many species in the world because if one species of animal disappears, then their predators also will be in risk of extinction and like this more cases. Maybe we aren't noticing it but we and our foolish mind are at fault of this non balanced out world. So, we have to settle down and start to think reasonably. Because sooner or later we will have to pay the consequences, the ones which would bring such terrible things that we've never seen.

JOBS FOR TEENAGERS

The teenage years in one way are amazing because you almost have no responsibilities and you only think about going out with friends. But also this age is very difficult because your body is changing and your mind too, even if you don't notice it.
Another reason that teenagers hate this age is because they have to start to work in summers. But why do they hate it?
When I was sixteen ( the actual age which people can begin to work ) I searched for a job and I found one, I went to Aquabrava to be a lifeguard. Moreover, I wanted to work! My parents didn't have to say nothing to me. Maybe the first time that you work is a bit tiring but is so gratifying because you have a responsibility and you feel that you begin to be sufficient mature. It's good because you need to be mature to be responsible and then you would keep the work and be good at it. In fact, this is an extraordinary experience because you meet a lot of new people and make good friends.
One important thing, for many people the most one, is that if you work, you get money. But is not a fortune, it's the opposite, maybe so little money but at least you don't have to ask your parents all time for money.
All this is very beautiful but nowadays the number of people claiming unemployment benefit is increasing, so it means that it's very difficult for young people to find a job. But in my opinion is better that bosses prefer people with experiences than teenagers because probably they need the money to bring de family up. So now, we have it a bit difficult, but times change and I wish that it doesn't last too much.

CAN LOVE BE FOREVER?

Love is a really nice word but does it exist? I would like to think that this strong feeling can be forever, but unfortunately the world is changing. Before there was a clear idea: find a charming man and get married soon. Nowadays people don't want commitment because it seems that if you say this to someone, he/she runs away.
The mentality of society today is only live the moment and enjoy it to the maximum. This is OK, but we have to put limits because we have to act like mature people. In my case, now I want to be free and have fun with friends but in the future I would like to have stability, find a nice person and create a family.
We live for now, we want everything, we want more money, more fame... We are very selfish. How can love survive, when we only think of ourselves? Love is about caring for someone as much as, or more than ourselves. Now when relationships get problems - "Love is no bed of roses" - we take the easy option for ourselves...escape.
There's another problem with love, it is difficult for it to last. For example if you meet a person who you feel confident with and you start to go out when you are young, like a teenage age, it's very difficult that love last because you have all your life ahead of you and you don't know yet where or what you want to be. Perhaps this young relationship will prevent you achieving your goals. As you both mature your ideas will change.
To finish I would like to say that I think that love exists and that can last forever but it's very difficult to keep the flame burning but why not to try it?
So, I'm confident with romantic people who often dream of love because they are the ones that will be able to change the world and make it a more hopeful and lovely place to live in.
