Question 1(a). List two reasons why teens are reluctant to call helplines despite the promise of anonymity and professional help.
Some teenagers feel that it will be weird to talk to stranger. Some feel that close friends are easier to communicate and talk to. They have more faith and trust in their friends and they think their friends are the people whom they can rely on.
Question 1(b). According to Ms Lily Chu, how does Touch Leadership and Mentoring prefer to help troubled teens?
Touch Leadership and Mentoring can be prefered to help troubled teenagers through more direct and effective means, such as educational workshops organised in schools, one to one counselling and home visits.
Question 2. Have you confided in your friends or family members about the problems you face in school/ life? Why or why not?
Yes. Confiding problems that one face in school lets one be free from un-needed stress that comes into your life when you get paranoid. Being able to tell your problems to your friends or family members lets them know what is happening to you and how to help you. It also proves to be a form of improving your relationship to them as they know more about you and what is happening to you.
Have you been betrayed by your friends before? If yes, how? (You may change the names of the people involved for privacy)
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CANT REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question 1(a). What are the 4 rules for religious harmony?
Answer: All groups of religion are to exercise tolerance and restraint, religion should not be related to politics but separated. The government must be secular, meaning that the government must be fair to all groups of religion. Lastly, maintain common space that all Singaporeans share to allow everyone to feel at home in Singapore and at ease.
Question 1(b). In your opinion, how can we maintain a common space in schools?
Catholic or chinese schools should allow students from different religion and races to mix along with the catholics and chinese. Students of different religion and races should do something common amongst themselves.
Question 2. Do you respect other religions? Why or why not? What do you think of children who stay away from their parents' funerals because they believe the traditional rites are against their new religion?
I do respect other religions mainly for as it one of the Singapore's ideal. Prime Minister Lee Sien Long exapnded on the fact that Singapore must maintain as a multi-religious country with everyone respecting each other's reglion. No one should insult each others reglion. I think that those children are being religious and very disrespectful. Parents who brought them up and showered them with concern and care were left unrespected because of their new religion. Although religious issues might not be easily understandable in short periods of time, I personally think that we should live in racial harmony.

Question 1(a). What are the 2 worrying trends about drug trafficking mentioned in the article?
Question 1(b). Why are Singaporeans increasingly being used as "drug mules"?
Question 2. What will you do if you find out that one of your friends is selling drugs? How will you react if someone tries to sell you drugs?
Answer: I will definitely warn my friend of the consequences of drug trafficking in Singapore. From a high fine to the death sentence, I will preach about it until I have spoke finish all of it. After that, I will give my friend time to engage in a brainstorm on his/her own. After sometime after that, I would call on him/her again to reaffirm his/her decision. If the decision was for the better, I would definitely persuade him/her to turn in to the officals. I would then find for my friend a decent lawyer to help in the lawcase. I would wait for him/her to serve his/her term as convicted by the Supreme Court's Judge.. If the decision was negative, I would still continue to persuade and persuade until I finally won my friend over. Worst comes to the worst, I would tell his/her parents about what he/she is doing. I would never give up on trying -until the very moment my friend is caught red handed. If someone tried to sell me drugs, I would deny and walk away. If the person still continues to follow me, I would start a conversation in a peaceful manner and tell that person I am allergic to drugs and I do not take drugs. If that person still does not give up, I would resort to one last resort and that is to call the threanten-call the police.

Term 3 Week 6
Question 1. What is the modus operandi (method of operating) of the con artists?
Answer: The con artists' modus operandi is to pose as volunteers from "welfare organisations" to tidy up the homes of senior citizens.
Question 1(b). What are the Lion Befrienders planning to do to ensure the old folks do not get conned again?
Answer: They reminded the old folks to ask for an identification pass bearing the visitor's name and Befrienders' logo. So did they introduce new volunteers to the senior citizens, to ensure that the old folks recognise the people who will visit them subsequently.
Question 2. Do you like doing social work? Why or why not?
Answer: Honestly, I do not. It is boring and unaffirmative. I would rather spend my precious time doing something more meaningful and beneficial. To some people, doing social work might prove to be thrilling. However, I feel that social work is not only boring but depicts how low you have fallen. In other words, doing social work is uneducational and extremely exhausting.

Question 1 (a). Why is it easy for burglers to break into stalls at the two markets in the Kallang area?
ANS: There were units open on the top which the burglers broke into and as such, the burglars only need to climb the railings.
Question 1(b). What is the Geylang East Central Merchants' Association going to do about the break-ins?
ANS: They would want to improve the security by changing the stalls' layout and design.
Question 2. What do you think should be done to tighten the security of the markets? What do you think of the burglars who brazenly break into the stalls?
ANS: Personally, I feel there we should all do our part by giving more attention to our surroundings. We should always keep our guard up for any suspicious being who seems to scout around every few seconds as they could probably be burglars who are trying to gather information on how is the best way to rob the market. Installing more CCTV cameras can also prove to be an aid as it could capture burglars motive and let the police forces arrest them red-handed. Even if the CCTV camera misses the action the burglar conducted, the tape replay of the happening can also be a clue itself to the police and lead them to the criminal. I personally think that those burglars were smart in a way that they knew how to do all those handy work and rob the stalls. However, it was absolutely foolish of them to even try to rob other people. Even if they are smart when it comes to planning and stuff like that, they weren't absolutely the brightest people when it comes to decision making or they would NEVER had try to break into the stalls.
