Bright Stars We all are the stars Shining despite of the scars Its is the brightness we are searching for It’s the darkness we want to cure It’s the destiny we want to ours We all are the stars What if we become sometimes a little dull?

HIGH Risk Periods for Drug Abuse Among Youth

Bright Stars Research has shown that the key risk periods for drug abuse are during major transitions in children’s lives. The first big transition for children is when they leave the security of the family and enter school. Later, when they advance from elementary school to middle school, they often experience new academic and social situations, such as learning to get along with a wider group of peers. It is at this stage—early adolescence—that children are likely to encounter drugs for the first time. When they enter high school, adolescents face additional social, emotional, and educational challenges. At the same time, they may be exposed to greater availability of drugs, drug abusers, and social activities involving drugs.

Bright Stars Bright star I want relief….. Some sanity, I am drowned in ignorance. I am in pain I need help! O Star! O Star! O Star! Can you do something for me? Kill my pain… Take my woes, Can you give me strength to face the world? Here I am the bright star, Yes I can help you fight the war. O I am here to light your life, There’s just a little to strive. It’s your trust I have to take, And turn it into your belief to find the way. Arjumand Ayub Trainee http://mahmooda-aftab.blogspot.com/

Bright Stars 1. Define life success One of the most empowering things you can do for yourself is to define your criteria for life success. This requires reflecting on what the key elements are and the experiences you wish to have. 2. Choose to be happy Happiness is a state of mind. The Dalai Lama says that the very purpose of life is to seek happiness. He believes that if you train the mind to be happy, you will be. Likewise, you can train yourself for higher self-esteem. 3. Set challenging goals How much you like yourself is often reflected in the level of goals you will set for yourself. Generally, people who like themselves and feel valuable, set higher and more challenging life goals. 4.
