When did kids become so evil? This morning, a trending news story that I was seeing all over my social media feeds was about a ten year old boy with special needs who had been lured into a field by bullies- who he believed were his friends- who then proceeded to douse him in gasoline and set him on fire.  Yes, you read that correctly. A ten year old was set on fire  by other ten year olds .  Now let me tell you something. I didn't strike my first match until I was 16 years old, and when I was 10 I can guarantee that I had no clue what gasoline was. I might be a little be behind the times or babied or whatever else and maybe I should have known, but I didn't; but what I'm getting at here is why  did these ten year olds have access to matches- and on top of that, access to gasoline too? Who made this available to them? And how did they know how to light a fire? And what the hell was going through their minds that made them think it was a normal thing t...

Bullying is a huge problem across the UK- across the world, in fact- and can affect anyone and everyone.  With the growth of social media, it has become so much easier  to bully people, acting as an online 'troll' where you can hide your identity whilst hurling abusive comments across the web. However, with this happening, it doesn't mean that physical bullying has ceased to exist. This is still as big an issue as ever. In fact, some could argue it's worse because there has been a cross over of physical bullying at school or work, which then continues outside of school and work online as cyber bullying. Some bullying incidents in person are even filmed or photographed and then shared online in some sick style of documentation.   Long story short, bullying is still a problem. But if you're being bullied at school, college or university, what can you do?  Tell someone Yep, you've probably heard it one thousand times before, because it...

Success is one of the best feelings in the world- especially because more often than not, it takes time to obtain it. You have to work your butt off before succeeding and when you do you feel on top of the world. Over the course of the last year and a bit, I have been fortunate enough to feel success on quite a few occasions, as I'm sure those who are regular readers of my blog will know. Whilst a few of the successes I faced were through good luck, 90% of them were down to non stop hard work. Success is a great reward for hard work...and so I have to pose a question to you all: Why are people so insistent on ruining people's success? Seriously. Why?! I have noticed it happening to myself, my friends, people I follow online and even celebrities! Once someone achieves something successful, people seem to try their god damn hardest to tear them down and ruin their happiness. When a celebrity loses weight on their tummy, rather than congratulate, people will be ...
