MY EID A.K.A HARI RAYA WITH LOVELY FAMILY AND COUSINS



On Friday, 15th June 2018, the day that all muslims have been awaited to celebrate after a month fasting during the holy month of Ramadhan. And on that I have so much fun with my big family and not only for that day , it goes on and on day by day untill the end of my school holiday. Plus this time we got 3 weeks holiday for mid sem break. So the night before the Eid, we as one big family break our fast together at 'nenek and atuk's house' at Ipoh.. So much food that I can eat at that time, we have ketupat, lemang , ayam rendang and ayam masak kicap.

Oh my God, now I feel hungry while writing this.. Ok so after everything has done, perfoming solat and everything.. Me and my fellow cousins play fireworks at the outside.. I really enjoyed it. So after that we went to sleep. Waiting for tomorrow comes so quickly.

So tomorrow has come.. FINALLY!!!! So all of us get ready early in the morning like 7.00 a.m to go to the mosque Aidilfitri sunat prayer. After finish perfoming the prayer, we all gathered back at grandparents house and we took pictures of us.

After that we all do the ' salam raya' (malay terms) and guess what..?? I got 'duit raya' from my uncles, aunts ,

parents

 and also my grandparents.

So in the evening, we went to visit houses in the nearby area .. It was fun actually because i can eat many 'kuih raya' (cakes) and sometimes certain houses offered us to eat rendang..
Usually our grandparents will stay at their house cause they knew that many relatives will come to visit.. Yeah, when we get back home, there would be a lot of people that I don't even know their existence are actually my relatives.. Usually my grandparents house would be hectic from the first day of Eid till usually fifth days of Eid.
I really enjoyed this year Raya very much.. So much memories have been created with my beloved cousin.. So that's all.. Thank you very much! Happy Eid !!!

TEEN ISSUES

Teenagers or also called adolescent, youth , young person and juvenile are defined as a person aged between 13 and 19 years. In this phase, this is where your childhood phase change to something really new. This phase, teens often have some problems related to certain factors such as health, their look, emotions , social and many more. So here I am going to talk about these particular problems that often being faced by teens.


FIRST OF ALL :

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by weight loss difficulties maintaining an appropriate body weight for height, age, and stature and, in many individuals, distorted body image. People with anorexia generally restrict the intake of calories and the types of food they eat. Some people with the disorder also exercise compulsively, and also binge eat.

Anorexia can affect people of all ages, genders, and races Historians and psychologists have found evidence of people displaying symptoms of anorexia for hundreds or thousands of years. 

Although the disorder most frequently begins during adolescence, an increasing number of children and older adults are also being diagnosed with anorexia. You cannot tell if a person is struggling with anorexia by looking at them. A person does not need to be emaciated or underweight to be struggling. Studies have found that larger-bodied individuals can also have anorexia, although they may be less likely to be diagnosed due to cultural prejudice against fat and obesity.

   

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE SUFFERING THIS DISEASE, SO HERE ARE SOME SYMPTOMS THAT THOSE PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE WHICH IS :

• Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though underweight.
• Restriction of energy intake relative to requirements leading to a significantly low body weight in the context of age, sex, developmental trajectory, and physical health.

SECOND ISSUE IS :

 

When a teen is developing their identity they are learning what makes them unique while also feeling the need to fit in. For teens who feel excluded from others due to their cultural, gender, or sexual identity, this process can lead teens to begin participating in harmful behavior.

Other factors that prevent the formation of a secure and positive self-identity include:

• Lack of attachment to parents
• Low self-esteem
• Absence or negative influence of adults

Common Problems and Behaviors Surrounding Unhealthy Teen Identity Development

The causes above make a teen more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as drugs, substance addiction, and promiscuity. These teens are also more likely to perform poorly in school, have low self-esteem, and to act compulsively. This is due to the fact that during this time teens are still developing cognitively which makes their thinking process more impulsive than adults. Therefore, the simple encouragement from peers can be enough to persuade a teen to engage in risky behavior without much thought. The result of a teen’s participation in rebellious or promiscuous behavior can result in the teen feeling even worse about themselves and can create a downward spiral of unhealthy patterns and behavior.

15 of the common behaviors and warning signs of a teen struggling with their identity:

1. Putting self down
2. Keeps his or her own views or opinions to self
3. Intense emotions of anger or sadness
4. Change in peers and/or avoids positive friendships

LAST BUT NOT LEAST:

Teenagers and social problems occur everyday in high schools across the country. The teen years present a number of social challenges

BULLY 

Bullying frequently occurs in the halls of high schools. It ranges from easily identifiable fist-fights to subtle, emotional attacks to the victim.

Types of Bullying

Bullying takes on several forms including:

• Physical threats and violence
• Verbal attacks and abuse
• Cyber bullying

Physical bullying is often the first thing that typically comes to mind. Yet verbal attacks affect the victim in many of the same ways. Bullying may lead to other social problems, such as low self-esteem and making poor choices.

Effects

The type of bullying may vary, but the effects follow a common pattern in teens. The victims often struggle with acceptance after suffering at the hands of a bully. The victim may experience:

• Fear and withdrawal from normal activities where they may encounter the bully
• Anxiety and depression
• Stress

PEERS PRESSURE

On a daily basis, teens influence their peers on everything from clothes to illegal activities. Why do they allow themselves to be swayed by peers? Fitting in and avoiding taunts is a major factor. No one wants to be left out. Kids who are curious about a certain behavior may decide to try, particularly if they think everyone else is doing it. Drinking or smoking at a party is a good example. A teen may decide to satisfy his curiosity if all of the other party guests are consuming alcohol.

Effects

Peer pressure results in poor decisions made by teens. A child who is on the fence about engaging in risky behaviors often goes along with the crowd to fit in, abandoning his own better judgment. Even teens who have refused to participate in a given activity in the past may eventually give in under peer pressure. Negative choices that routinely occur to fit in include:

• Gossiping
• Leaving others out of the group or making fun of them
• Bullying other teens, either physically or verbally.
