SUMMER SUN, SUMMER FUN?

This summer, many people had been experiencing some medical issues, for example, heatstroke, prickly heat and many more.

These issues are caused by being too much exposed to the sun. If people still do this, we can lose many people because a lot of them died by fainting. Fainting is also one of the issues that can cause death to people.

Cases of heatstroke increased rapidly in the month of summer due to being exposed to the sun. Dehydration is also caused by too much exposure to the sun. Dehydration can be cured if we drink lots of water every day.

ALightintheShadows:Overcomingthe ChainsofBullying

A dark force often lurks in the vast corridors of school life, silently preying on the vulnerable. Bullying, an age-old societal ailment, inflicts emotional wounds that run deep. It casts a shadow over the lives of its victims, robbing them of confidence, joy, and their very sense of self. However, amidst the darkness, there are flickers of hope, brave souls who refuse to let the chains of bullying hold them back.

Like a twisted game, bullying thrives on power imbalances and the suffering it creates. It takes the form of cruel words, physical intimidation, or even cyber-attacks. Yet, in this narrative, we choose to celebrate the indomitable spirit that rises above it all. Meet Sarah, a gentle soul whose passion for painting became a refuge from the taunts and jeers of her classmates. With brush in hand, she painted a world where kindness reigned, and empathy triumphed. In the quiet moments when she blended colors on her canvas, she discovered her worth, far beyond the shallow judgments of her peers. Then there's David, a bookworm whose love for stories transported him to realms beyond the playground. In the pages of novels, he found solace, inspiration, and role models who taught him to stand tall despite adversity. Armed with knowledge and imagination, he turned the tables on his tormentors, proving that intellect can be a powerful shield.

Another medical issue is having prickly heat or skin rash, it is harmless but it can be very itchy, if you scratch it, it can lead to infection if the open area was not immediately treated.

These medical issues can be cured by staying at home if nothing important is to be done outside. Drink lots of water and eat at the right time. Sleeping at the right time is also important to maintain your physical health. However, how can we learn if we can't go outside? Can we learn face-to-face this summer? According to my classmate, if we are personally learning inside the classroom, learning was more effective unlike attending online class, some students are lazy.

But perhaps the most remarkable tale of triumph is that of Lily, a once-shattered spirit who found solace in music. Her voice soared, breaking free from the chains of insecurity, as she sang songs of resilience and hope. She created a symphony of strength with every note, reminding others that their voices mattered too. Though scarred by their experiences, these brave individuals chose not to succumb to the darkness. They discovered that within themselves lay the power to transcend the cruelty of their peers. Their stories remind us that even in the face of adversity, compassion, creativity, and resilience can be powerful tools for healing.

Let us be inspired by these tales of triumph, and in doing so, let us shine a light on the shadows of bullying. We can create a world where empathy, understanding, and acceptance prevail. Let us build a society that celebrates our differences and empowers everyone to embrace their uniqueness without fear.

Schools can implement comprehensive antibullying programs that address the issue, promote inclusivity, and teach conflict resolution skills. By educating students about the impact of their actions and encouraging them to stand up for one another, we can empower a generation that values compassion over cruelty.

Parents, too, have a vital role to play. Open lines of communication, where children feel safe to express their concerns, are crucial. Teaching empathy and respect at home helps instill values that shape their interactions outside the family unit. By modeling kindness and compassion in our lives, we provide our children with a powerful example.

Meanwhile, when asked if she wants to come to school even though it;s summer time, Eunice Jean H. Paday from VIMagnificence said that she is not in favor of it because students can suffer from medical issues due to summer heat.

In addition, Jazz P. Empleo from VIMagnificence also finds it unfavorable because students can't resist the summer heat.

Summer is supposed to be a time to beat the heat and enjoy the cool waters in pools and beaches, in the future, maybe our politicians would see that school time does not go well with summertime.

Communities can create safe spaces for dialogue and support. Local organizations, schools, and community centers can collaborate to organize workshops, awareness campaigns, and support groups for victims of bullying. By fostering a sense of belonging and providing resources for those affected, we create a network of support that uplifts and empowers.

But let us not forget the bystanders—the silent witnesses to acts of bullying. It is incumbent upon them to break their silence and become allies. By standing up against bullying, speaking out when they witness injustice, and offering support to those in need, bystanders can transform the dynamics of bullying.

In our collective journey to combat bullying, remember that every action counts. A kind word, a helping hand, or a simple act of inclusion can make all the difference in someone's life. By fostering a culture that values empathy, understanding, and respect, we can create a world where bullying is but a distant memory.

Together, let us be the change, creating a brighter future where every individual can thrive, unburdened by the chains of bullying. It is within our power to nurture a world where the shadows of cruelty dissipate, allowing the light of compassion to shine through.
