Six stone might not be enough


Head girl, 17, died weighing just six stone after trying to hide four-year battle with anorexia from her parents

A seventeen-year-old girl was found dead last November, her parents have now discovered that she was suffering from the disease anorexia. They did not notice this sooner, because she was doing excellent in school and got a lot of awards for her work. She even was a head girl. The only thing odd was that she skipped a lot of meals, when her parents asked why she wouldn’t eat she would claimed she had already eaten and would go the rest of the day without food. Her illness was discovered in journals she left behind when she died.
 



When I read this article I was shocked, how can you parents not notice this? They  might not have noticed it when this start to happen. But she only weight six stone when she died, and when you look at the picture you can clearly seen that she is not well and severely thin. In this article they make us believe that they could not know how this could happen. They make her come across as anything but sick, and I think this is a bit misguiding. You had to have noticed something, or at least someone should have.

There is just no Fucking way


No Fugging chance: Fucking village told they can't be renamed Fugging because name is already taken
News.

There is a village in Austria with the name Fucking, and the residents are all but happy with this name. This village located in upper Austria wants to change it’s name to Fugging and voted for this yesterday. Today came out that the name Fugging is already taking by another village in lower Austria, they also had the Fuckings a one point in time but it was changed a couple of hundred years ago. But the people of Fucking have had enough the want another name, they are fed up with the prank calls and other nonsense which happen because of this name.


When I read this I thought it was really funny but changing the name isn’t that good of an idea. Why not exploit this name while you have it? The town is already getting attention because of it so you can use it to your advantage. The people who live in this village might not like this name but then move, when you moved there you already knew the name why is it a problem now. And the mayor needs to put a spin on this, why not use what you have got? Build some sex museum or something to do with fucking that you can make profit and you wont have to change your name. 

No card, no ride!


Terrified boy, 11, frogmarched off bus to waiting police after forgetting his Oyster card due to school fancy dress day.
news.






This story is about a boy called Marcus, who was traveling to school when he noticed he forgot his travel card. The police came to take him off the bus and he was handed a fine of 80 pounds. Marissa the mother of eleven-year-old Marcus said the fine should be annulled. He is just a young boy who forgot his travel card because he had to wear special clothes to school that day. Transport for London who is responsible for this said they are not going to do this because Marcus should have had his card with him.
  


In my opinion this is just a bit ridiculous, why did the police have to come he is just a little boy of eleven. Did they really have to throw him of the bus? He was going to school let him go maybe give him a fine or just let this slide for once. I think they could have been much more lenient because of the circumstances, the boy was properly dressed. Very neat actually, why punish him? And why would you start questioning him, you’re just scaring him at that moment and that is just not fair.

To Beatle or not to Beatle


Here come the sons: the return of the Beatles?
Music

In the Telegraph an article got my attention, when I saw something about the Beatles and returning I had to read it because, this is impossible! In this article, the subject discussed was that the sons of the Beatles might be wanting to form a band together. The son of legend Paul McCartney even said he dreamt about becoming bigger than the Beatles. The plan was to get all the sons of all the Beatles together and form a band. The one who is the most interested in music is the son of legend John Lennon, who is already in a band with his girlfriend Yuka Honda.













This can’t be, I think it is ridiculous that the sons of one of most popular bands in the world want to start their own band. And they hope they might have more success? Think again my friend, times are changing. I wonder if it is possible to become that big. 
Even if it would be possible, expectations are high. You are the son of that great legend. Living up to those expectations is probably not possible, why aren’t you a rockstar already then?
If you ask me your parents are irrelevant to what you do, it has to come from you, not what your daddy might have done.
