Eating Disorders

The eating disorders are responsible for higher mortality rates. The vast majority of those suffering from eating disorders are adolescents and young women. One of the main reasons why young people suffer from anorexia is because they want to be stylish and so they go on strict diets. In the past people considered that only girls suffered from eating disorders but it has been proven that boys are also affected. The most common eating diseases are anorexia and bulimia. Both can lead to death.

We should all have a balanced diet. We should eat a bit of everything and several times a day. Principally we should avoid fats. If we don't have a good diet we can get eating disorders like obesity, bulimia and anorexia. Many people suffer from these disorders and therefore we should all take care with what we eat.

The Internet for me - Ruben

The internet is useful for many things. We can talk to other people, look for information for works at school, play games, watch videos and download a lot of things. But there are chatrooms and other websites with mean people.
The Internet has changed and revolutionised the world. Whenever I need help, there is always the internet to support me. When I need information, the internet supports me and when I need to talk with my friends, the internet is there too. In my opinion, the internet is very important.

Internet - Daniela S.

The Internet is very useful because we can talk with friends, do researches and work. The great advantage of the Internet is that we can talk with family and friends from far away and which we can't see for a long time. The bad part of the Internet is that we lose a lot of time talking to the friends and we have no notion of the time passing by.

Internet – Maria

Hi, I’m Maria. I’m 14 and I live in Vila Nova de Cerveira, in Portugal. I love using the Internet. In my opinion, it has a lot of advantages. People can research, chat with friends, listen to music, watch videos and play games.
But there are also some disadvantages. For example, there are chat rooms where people arrange meetings with strangers.
I like to use the internet safely. Mostly I use it to communicate with friends who don’t live in Portugal and to get help do my homework.

The Internet – Daniela M.

The internet has a lot of advantages. We can talk with our friends, meet new people and make researches for school or other things.
But it also has it’s bad sides. The internet can be dangerous. For example HI5, although I also use it, and also have a profile, I think that there are people who give to much personal information about themselves. This information can be used by bad people.
