Dear diary

Today I’m very happy. My Brazilian friend Carolina sent me an e-mail and said she is coming to visit me in summer holiday. So I’m already thinking about what to do with her because I hope we will have lots of fun. Do you have any suggestion? I know I have much time to prepare everything but things are not easy and I must think how to do interesting activities without spending much money. I want to show her how teenagers live in Europe. We have lots of old historical monuments to see but I’m afraid that she will find it a little bit boring. And what about food? Does she like Mediterranean food? I hope so. I’m very anxious to present her to all my friends and I almost can’t wait for her arrival.

Oh god i am at school instead of my bed :P i got my hot chocolate here and trying to write about the economic crisis oh well let's start :P

The last three years a lot of changes happened in our lives. Especially now, the situation is even harder because of the new economical measures. Our parents are more worried about how to pay bills .The wage cuts have affected their psychology enough. As a result there is a lot of anger  at home. We, as young people, have made sizeable efforts to reduce our expenses, but it is not easy because we are used to a different lifestyle and have the cost of private lessons. We don’t know how to deal with that situation. There are young people who are aware and trying to help, as possible their families. However there are many students  who have not understood what is going on around them.

I saw on TV something that really shocked me. A year ago the families who did not have the essential goods were 540,000 and within a year they rose to 700,000. It is shocking in the 21st to make rations in schools. Also it is shocking to see children fainting from hunger .We have lived similar situations during the Second World War in Greece and now we face it again . As Greeks, what can we do about this ? It 's so painful to see your country that  has influenced  so much other civilizations to be destroyed in this way. And our future is hanging in the hands of people who care only about their own interests: greek politicians. We study 12 years at school, 4 years in university and in the best state we will end up is working for  400 € or in the worst even without work. This is the current situation in Greece.

People in Greece are  miserable and they suffer not knowing what the future holds for tomorrow. You get to a point to say instead of '' live'' saying '' survive''. At the end of each day Greek men and women think when they getting  to bed '' I did it and today.''

Ohh i feel depressed writing about the crisis :P i think i will go home to dress up and go to my friends see ya next time :)))

Aloha marafiki ! (try to find what does it mean)

Oh, although I wanted to be in the latin dance lessons making a better body for the next summer ,I am to school eating my favorite biscuits waiting for a good idea to jump in my mind in order to write to Lis Diary..ohhh god I am counting down the time for the night ….Oceanis, my favorite club is waiting for me and my friends  to dance, drink and have fun!!

However, my whole life isn’t a party!The schools of Greece send SOS for the increase of school violence. According to surveys, Greece has the 4th place among 41 countries in cases of bullying (violence in schools) . The silence that covers these incidents must be broken and I and my peers should be protected as soon as possible! The financial crisis  that exist in my country has caused plenty of problems in our families such as irritation, concern about our future and the most important... smile has already disappeared from all of the Greek people. Sadly, all of these problems are passed from the family to the children. The result is that students indicate family problems to the school with violent actions against to their classmates or to the school buildings. I decided to write about this social problem since a similar accident happened to my school!:( A student of the high school attacked to a younger student when he offended him. Although the older student should have complaint to the headmaster ,he preferred to solve the problem with violence. According to experts’ opinion, the first step to give an end to this problem is to face its seriousness. This sudden spate of violence that has flourished in the past couple of years, is a nasty social problem which just not frighten us for our physical and mental health, but also  worries us about the future of the whole country!

But, let’s stop now I have to go home and find something really fascinating to wear in order to impress!!

I’m reeeaalyy bored..I would prefer watching videos on my computer about the political situation in Mars than writing texts for lis diary

            But its not up to me, bc my teacher is ready to pull the trigger of a kalaznikof and kill me.

            Or at least hit me…REALLY HARD. Just like it happened the other day at school where  a kid (a little younger than me) hit another kid, at the same age, because he missed a the ball at the game. The thing that really made me think deeper is the fact that that the first kid used the nationality of the other one as an insult (almost wrote inslut :P).

            So the question is what made the kid use that word as an insult? What is happening in my country the last years?

ELECTIONS

MAY – JUNE 2012

            Recenlty there were elections held in Greece via which a fascist party got into the Greek parliament with a percentage of about 6%. That means that 6% of the greek population thinks that the basic problem of the crisis in greece is the immigrants either legal or illegal and they just hate them…and hate them.!!

            In Plomari that phenomenon has not got that intense. For example kids from Albania or Romania e.t.c play and get along with greek kids just like if they were greek. But there is something small that if we just let it grow, it will grow big and finally become a huge problem really difficult to solve. And that problem is called racism…

            Trying to give a modern definition of the word "Racism", we would say that is used to point a group, as stronger than others. More specifically describes the actions of a group of people (who share common characteristicts such as nationality, sex, color, religion, culture e.t.c) against one other group. The word comes from the most common type of racism, the racial racism, from the Italian word, "razza" which means race.

            Racism is a sensitive topic that needs a lot of attention. According to experts, racism is considered a violation of the basic human right to equality, in the fields of labor, politics, the economy e.t.c.

            In Greece, there have been all kinds of racism.Today the racial racism is expressed increasingly loud. The cause of this? Based on the fact that Greece "hosts" more immigrants than it can afford. The problem lies in the fact that the Greek would be taxed, will serve in the military, while the foreigners won’t.

            It’s worth having in mind that it is no immigrant’s fault. In fact, immigrants are people who have searched for a better future in a foreign country. So did the Greek immigrants abroad. No one has the right to blame them for this. The problem is purely governmental. Quite simply if you need to get along both Greeks and foreigners in this country, we  will have to contribute all the same, otherwise prosperity wil be lost for both Greek and foreigners. Specifically there’s a need to adjust the rights. Otherwise there will be consequences, that in their simple form they lead to a devaluation of a group of people, while in more severe form, can give birth to the causes of terrorism or even war. It sounds extreme, however it has re-occurred in the past.

            As students this phenomenon causes us regret and concern about the outcome of this situation. Finally we feel despair about the inaction of the Government in relation to this phenomenon.

..........................................................................................................................................      So, mister......!! The gun changed target and moved to the teachers head, not believing how a 16 year old kid could write such beautiful, amazing, deep thoughts.!!!

St. Martin's day | Chancellor Merkel comes to Portugal

Yesterday, my family and I celebrated St. Martin's day. In Portugal, the tradition is called magusto.

 

I filled myself with chestnuts though I haven't drunk any água-pé (I'll explain it later). What about you: how did you celebrate St. Martin's day?

Incidentally, St. Martin's day is celebrated on the Armistice day (which took place at the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918), but let's talk about a happier subject...

 

Today, Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel took a visit at our delightful country. I think it was an amazing opportunity to develop the economic relationship between creditor and debtor! :P As for the demonstrations in Lisbon, I agree with a spokesman from the government I saw on the news: their attitudes were dishonourable towards the trust Germany gives to Portugal, translated on the investment in car industry, etc; that way, the German chancellor and our prime minister replied were tactful, saying the liberty of expression, just like transit freedom has taken place in the European Union, is essential in democracy -- it's their way to see things and it can't be taken personally, although the PM is aware of it.

 

Ok, I really wanted to tell you more of it, but it happens that I'm feeling a bit drowsy, so... buh-bye, see you next time!

Check in post

Just checking if it works :)
