Positive Thinking

Always think positively, you will stay connected to the creative power, and you will stay focused. When you think negatively you bring anger, confusion, anxiety, depression and frustration. If you think that you can win a game, you will have more courage and energy, so you will have more chances of winning. Always think of a half full glass, not half empty.
Remember that you are smarter then you think, that what you do today may not seem significant, but always remember that day by day it will make you life.

Teenage Depression

Unlike popular belief, depression is a chemical disorder in our bodies, not a mental sickness. Teenagers may feel insecure to talk, and further treat depression due to their little knowledge in the subject. Some may see it as a difficult subject to talk about, when it should not be. Truth is, that it should be treated as any other medical emergency, such as braking an arm or any other health threatening situation. Some may choose to go through the depression, other may choose to take their own lives. 600,000 teens will try to commit suicide each year. If you can help people which are depressed, you may save a life.

The price
We choose what we want to learn. Just, as we choose the subjects at the beginning of each year. Prohibition leads to taboo. The more something is prohibited, the more people would be curious about it. If you think the Internet filter works, you are wrong. Students are smarter than you think or at least when they want to. TASIS education is incomplete; we can get a diploma for the things you learn is school, but at the end students doesn’t fully understand how their bodies works.

Students' handbook
If it is not written in the handbook, then it is permitted. In page 25, we see how pornography & coed visits are prohibited. But nowhere does it say that public display of affection can’t occur outside of dorms or outside of school. So, it is allowed or not?
