Lifestyle to the Teenagers

Lifestyle encompasses a whole range of childhood issues including the ways in which children are involved in making choices about their own interests and hobbies and how they spend their time. Children and young people need to be encouraged and supported to experience and explore the fullest range possible of activities and interests. Fun and play are fundamental to children's health and development and it is vital that the time, space, priority and resources are given over to ensuring that children have opportunities for play and leisure. There is a real need to ensure a good balance between protecting children on the one hand and allowing the freedom to play and explore their environment on the other.

Think Well

How to think like a programmer — lessons in problem solving By  Richard Reis If you’re interested in programming, you may well have seen this quote before: “Everyone in this country should learn to program a computer, because it teaches you to think.” — Steve Jobs You probably also wondered what does it mean, exactly, to think like a programmer?

I didn’t know where I was going, I just knew I was going south. I figured whatever it was would go away soon enough, so I did nothing. It didn’t go away. I spent the bulk of my days lying in bed until my mattress became indented in the center. I soundtracked this indolence with playlist chalked full of Kid Cudi and Elliot Smith dirges. I smoked bunk weed and binge-watched TV series’ multiple times over instead of honoring social engagements. I stuffed myself with high fructose corn syrup and other ingredients with scientific names and questionable nutritional value. I hid out in figurative closets, dimly lit dive bars and under unwashed duvet covers. I masturbated like I was sponsored. I felt myself getting irritated and rustled easily. I felt like my friends were a cause of my mindset ...
