activities influence

In most schools some part of the curriculum is dedicated to activities that take place outside of the school environment. I think it’s a good thing because it exposes children to other subjects that they don’t learn in school.

For example, this year my class went to Tel-Aviv University and we heard a speech about police investigation. This activity is just one example of a topic that we wouldn't ever learn in school.

Another example is the time we were taken to see the movie "The Believer". The movie was used to demonstrate what the speaker was talking about. He spoke about the influence that the media has on the public's opinions. This subject is very relevant and important to teenagers because they are very influenced by things they hear and see.


In my opinion and experience, activities that I've done outside of school have had an important effect on me. They have helped me to develop my own point of view, sometimes more than things I've learned inside school.

This is just great! Good work! (100)

too much love

There are some parents that will always help their children stay out of trouble, no matter how old they are. Their love and worry for their children may influence their children's future. I wonder if they ever think about what this may cause.

Too much worry can sometimes be a bad thing. In the story "All the years of her life" Alfred's mother worried about him too much and didn't let him deal with the troubles he got into by himself. She always hurried to help him, because after all, she didn't want her son to go to jail.

This caused her to feel helpless because Alfred continued to make mistakes and still she helped him time after time.

Parents, who consistently hurry to help their children stay out of trouble don’t necessarily know that they may prevent them from becoming independent. It may even cause them to become spoiled and dependent. It pays to have a balance between love and worry to avoid overdepedance.

In conclusion, most parents love their children and want the best for them. However, sometimes loving someone too much, even your own child, can have a negative effect.
