From now on, in this section, I will write about what I feel I should write, and what I feel God is telling me to write.

Life

I hate work. It's stressful, tiring, and puts you in a bad mood. But it has to be done. You don't want to do it, but you have to. Life's a lot like work. It's stressful, tiring, and puts you in a bad mood. But you have to live. Sometimes you'd rather just give up on your life and live somebody else’s, but you can't. So what are your options? Well, there are three things you can do:

1. Carry on living how you are. You may not want to do this, however, it may be worth living through what is stressful, tiring, and what puts you in a bad mood so that once you've got through it, you can finally enjoy the good parts of life. Just like work really. You put in the effort to get it done well, and at the end your rewarded for your hard work.

2. Change how you're living. This may not always be easy, but if your life is really bad, the best option is to change how you're living, solve the problems that you face, and then, you can enjoy life.

3. Commit Suicide. By far the worst option out of the three, however, it is not to be ignored. Many people find that their only option, their only way out of their problems is to commit suicide.

Sometimes I wonder what is wrong with the world. What we as a people did wrong. Every day people die. Do you care? Everyday people are murdered. Do you care? Everyday people commit suicide. Do you care? A question that lots of people ask is 'why?' Why would
somebody want to kill somebody else? Why would somebody want to kill themselves? We, as humans, have become so deep and concerned about ourselves that we forget about the other nine billion people on the planet. Can we really make a difference?

There is a way, that you CAN make a difference. The reason people kill others or themselves is mainly just for one reason; they are alone. When you're alone, you have no one to turn to. No one to talk to. No one to help you through troubled times. No one who you can
share your pain with. Everybody has problems. Some, worse then others, however, the people who suffer the most, however small or large their problems are, are those who are alone. To them, killing is the way out. Killing others comes when they are mentally unstable and have lost all self-control. Suicide is when they can no longer survive with their pain, and they get away from the pain the only way they know how.

Help these people. Become their friends. Care for them. Stop them from feeling alone. The world is a big place. Billions of people live on it. Are you prepared to let the World's population unnecessarily decrease by one?

Exams and Coursework

Could somebody please tell me: Am I the only person who hates exams and coursework. Exams put a lot of pressure on you. You're expected to use everything you've ever been taught about a subject on one test which could decide your whole future. Is that totally unfair
or what? Maybe it would be better if the government abandoned tests, but what would replace them? Coursework. And coursework is a lot, lot worse.

Coursework is the worst thing in the universe. Teachers load students with large amounts of coursework, expecting them to not have any sort of social life. Right at the moment even I, in Year 10 have six pieces of coursework to do. How am I supposed to get through school, and live my life at the same time? It's not possible. It's not right. The government really need to look at these things and make some changes around here.

'For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.'¹

Gordan hopped. This is pretty amazing since Gordan was never programmed to hop, but he did anyway. None of the crew of the Spaceship Bravado actually know why he can hop, that he can hop, or that he actually exists. It is a common fact known by nobody that if you don't pay any notice to someone for a long amount of time, say a day, then they begin to disappear. After about a week of this they disappear completely, and become invisible. Once you are invisible you can do lots of different things, like walk through walls and listen in on private conversations and cause trouble. As you may have guessed by now, Gordan is not invisible. He would be but there was one thing that didn't ignore him: The Radio.

Jim Jiggle just loves the radio. He has it on all the time. He also did something special to it. He made it give a special welcome to everyone onboard, something it did anyway. So every morning the radio shouts 'And let me give a BIG welcome to everyone on the spaceship Bravado, who at this moment are somewhere very scary and horrible: a horrible scary place.' The reason that Gordan wanted to be invisible (if you don't know Gordan did actually want to be invisible): unknown.

There was a short silence all over the spaceship Bravado, a large light appeared over it, and then it was gone. The spaceship Bravado, and it's crew, were no more!
