I have discovered a lot about the period of adolescence over generations. There are lots of similarities and differences. One similarity is that both generations hang out with friends all the time. In those days they had to meet up to talk but now the difference is that people talk through a phone or through an internet service (e.g. MSN, Google Talk, Skype, etc.). It is more of an indoor life now. We would rather play on the computer, PS3, or other accessories instead of going outdoor and doing some sports. It is more of a indoor generation these days and this all because of all the new inventions. Teenagers these days are a lot lazier than those in the last generation. Inventions are to blame. Well one can't say whether life was easier or harder in the past generation compared to this generatins as they have their own Pros and Cons. This generation is much more fun with technology but we get too addicted to the mordern games that we forget about sports. In the last generation, one was a lot more fitter but life as fun as it is now.

Trip to FRIM!
In FRIM we traveled in pretty big groups. It got a bit uncomfortable in some activities because there were too many people with different ideas and it got all messy sometimes. I like being around people because you get to mix with different people and do fun things. I felt safe at night because there were so many people around me.I didn't like it too because there was little privacy. There were times when I felt like sitting alone in a corner because I got tired of so many people. Since there were so many people, some finished lunch early and started playing soccer and made me spill my milo over my t-shirt. In the end, being around loads of people has its Pros and Cons.

My Qoute
"Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes."
- Henry J. Kaiser
If one can manage trouble, one can get benefit out of it. One must see all the aspects of the trouble and see how they can change it into an advantage. If one is in trouble, their minds thinks in ways that it would never do. The mind will start think more creatively and there you go, you thought hard and gained the opportunity of being creative. An example would be me going through the trouble of writing this paragraph (it is not easy) and in return I get a opportunity to sharpen my mind. One can also gain an opportunity to gain experience from all troubles.
