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 :)))
