Is fear all in your head?

By jujupage1 -
Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post,

 Recently, me,my mum and my sister watched a documentary on people who have a stammer. Honestly, it wasn't the easiest thing to watch. It's awful to know that people get bullied at school or in public because they can't simply say what's on their mind. This makes people with a stammer feel even more trapped. So trapped in fact that they stop talking to anyone. Making them feel isolated.  However, to me it was amazing how a simple speech therapy,controlling your breathing and calming down, can change how a person speaks in a matter of days. This makes me think. Is it all in their head. I don't mean this in a bad way but for so long these people have felt isolated all because someone has explicitly pointed out that they are different. However in the speech therapy, they have learnt to be in control. For so long they have let their own fear be in control of them. It must me an amazing feeling to finally be in control of your voice. To have a voice. So what message does that send to everyone even without a stammer? Fear is not in control of you, you are in control of fear. You may have fear but you can control it. So when you have to give a speech in front of the class in school remember to control your fear. With that, you already have an advantage over everyone.
Do you know anyone with a stammer? Are you in control of your fear? Let me know in the comments below.

See you next time,

Bye

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, I don't know if people outside of Britain have something like this in schools but here we have a thing called conference day which is a day where you learn something unconventional and would probably not do in normal everyday lessons. For this conference day, the topic was life skills.  In this one part of the day, we learnt about mental health and depression. Why this had anything to do with life skills, I do not know. It was going pretty smoothly at first. They were talking about what effects mental health problems had on people and those around them and why it's important to speak about these sorts of things. Then as the teacher flicked over to the next slide, things turned sour pretty quickly. This slide was labelled "Things you cannot say incase it offends someone with a mental health problem." Now some of the words I could understand why they were mentioned like "psycho" and "idiot" but

Blogmas day 3- Not my best performance :(

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post, Today I woke up really happy and excited because I had my dance exam. I thought I was ready; I set up my bag,put on my street uniform, and did my hair. I then got in the car and drove to the studio with my dad. When I arrived, they checked what I was doing first and it was ballroom. However, I was dressed and ready in my street uniform. Luckily, I had arrived 30 minutes early which was what was required so I got my dress and my shoes out of my bag and went to the toilets to change. I then returned to the studio to get my number pinned to my dress. Suddenly, everyone was saying that I needed to hurry up because I was dancing next. However, my first dance was at 11:50 and it was only 11:30. However, I was told to run to the down stairs studio so I did. There I met up with my dance teacher and she was telling me what I was going to do. She said "you're doing waltz and samba" and I stupidly replied "yes" out

Bloggerversary

Hello everybody and welcome to another blog post, 1 year ago, I started blogging. It was a big idea of mine because I loved to write. I remember my first ever blog post. It was about what I ate in the evening in Norfolk. I was so excited. I realised I had got some views almost instantly on that blog post. Then I realised that it was me. LOL. Just goes to show how inexperienced I was with the blogging community back then. I stopped blogging for a couple of months then got back into it again in the summer. I loved the summer because I visited my family for the first time in 5 years. They live far away on an island in the east coast of South Africa called Réunion. It's beautiful there and I will never miss it because I have recorded my time there, here on this blog. One of my biggest blogging challenges was when I did Blogmas at Christmas. It was challenging but very rewarding in the end. You guys seemed to love it. I love blogging. I can express my thoughts and feelings very well.

Being a model and role model are two separate things

Hello Jujubears and welcome to another blog post, Today I am going to be talking about the differences between models and role models and why we might get the two mixed up. I was recently reading Anne Frank's diary and she brought up how her parents wanted her to be the model child. At first, I thought it made sense but on second glance, I realised that it didn't. For example, we consider models to be figures in photos and magazines like Vogue. All models are doing is promoting something that they don't own. So by saying someone is or has to be a model child, it's implementing that they have to represent something that they don't own ; something that isn't them. To me, this makes sense and answers a lot of difficult questions. When we look at magazines, we look at something someone else has and try to fit it with our own body type. However, because it's not ours, it will never work. But because we associate the word model as someone to look up to, we keep
