Weekend time

On Friday morning a boy from my old elementary school texted me. He started persuading me to meet him and other people in the evening. Honestly, I didn't want to meet them, I said that I would rather not be able to do it, that I had other activities for the evening, that I was tired and that I had an appointment at the hairdresser. Despite that, a few hours later they started calling me and saying that they had heard from that boy that I would meet them. When I strongly refused and said that I had an appointment at the hairdresser in 30 minutes, the boy who wrote to me at the beginning started asking where I was going to the hairdresser because he wanted to pick me up. I finally stopped replying to their messages and did not answer their calls.

I wonder why people don't understand simple messages and sometimes they ignore my opinions. I don't feel comfortable when I have to refuse them and to say 'no'. I try to develop my own assertiveness. I'm quite busy at school. I work hard and I don't have much free time. I prefer spending my weekend evening with people, who are important for me and they deserve my respect and attention.

    I looks like you have a difficult relationship with your primary school mates. Don't they "deserve your respect and attention"?

Billy Milligan- The most severe case of DID

Obraz
The most severe case of dissociation identity disorder was William Stanley Milligan. Twenty-four personalities have been diagnosed in him. Doctors conducting the medical "investigation" found that Billy's problems were closely related to his childhood and to his stepfather Chalmer Milligan, who not only beat or buried the boy underground, but also raped him and sexually abused. It was the time, when David's personality appeared for the first time, helping him to deal with anxiety and pain. More personalities appeared over time. The primary, original personality was 26-year-old William Stanley Milligan with blue eyes and brown hair, who was not able to graduate from high school. He constantly tried to commit suicide and was put to sleep by others. Next personality was 22-year-old Arthur. He had a dominant role, he decided which personality would be revealed and would take over consciousness. He was intelligent, unfazed, and spoke with British accent. He wore glasses. T

"Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term"

 Tonight I read an article entitled "Five ways the pandemic surge in hand sanitisers may not be great news in the long term" It is true that the use of hand sanitisers and other antibacterial and antiviral cleaning products has sharply increased worldwide since the pandemic started. It has certainly helped to stop the increase in viral infections, however, it has some side effects. I learned that one study found that the regular use of ethanol to sanitize hands resulted in relatively low but measurable levels of ethanol in the blood. While this was below acute toxicity levels, continued use can result in "chronic toxicity", increasing the risk of health problems such as eczema or skin cancer. It can even be fatal at times. Repeated use of alcohol-based hand sanitizers can cause antimicrobial resistance and increase other infections. Research has also shown that ethanol leaking into lakes, ponds, rivers and oceans can harm aquatic species. I believe that despite the

An incident in the bus

When I was returning from school by bus,  few days ago, I witnessed an unpleasant situation. I saw a boy  at my age who had a broken leg. He tried to get to the exit door to get off at his bus stop but could not do it because the bus was very crowded. Even though he asked passengers to let him move forward, people ignored him. The boy couldn't get off. When he tried to do it at the next stop, the situation was supposed to repeat, but I loudly asked people to turn their attention to the boy and let him get off. They were embarrassed but reluctantly did it and the boy was able to get off and thanked me. I started thinking about the situation. I was wondering if people had not heard him? Was the boy talking too softly? Probably some passengers had not used public transport for months because of pandemia and they forgot about taking care of vulnerable people. For sure, it's not easy to be a senior or a disabled person in the society and to ask others for help every time.
