1.1《i ¹》

X ¹曰:「i無所區分矣，眾歸Y ¹也。今爾見Y，皆鐘情於矣。

非所以內交於Y之友X也，非所以敗大冒險也，非戲其而言也。

由是觀之，其之i排山倒海，猶如萬里長城長，馬里亞納海溝深。

其友X不過邊人罷。爾善思之，若求男友，X定爲其而樂。」

1.10《詛咒》

斯無一辰寧，每日日日咒。

應當積口德，勿常出惡言。

孟子曰人性本善，荀子曰人性本惡，

非善非惡非人也，何不人性皆本平？

初起即是網上課，常人數學滿紙紅。

後起一某二某情，不知終試何結果。

1.35《思汝詞》

十＊重色思傾國，小學六年求不得。

＊家有女初長成，兩人從小皆未識。

緣分天生難自棄，一朝相識即傾情。

回眸一笑十＊迷，世間萬物無顏色。

開學疫情不回校，網課日日無變改。

佳人鏡前清淺笑，始是十＊初戀時。

黑髮白裙＊鏡框，揮之不去心頭縈。

縈縈繞繞日夜思，從此十＊深情痴。

頻頻隔位睹芳容，不見倩影心焦躁。

不顧前後繁復找，對望更發情意深。

一丙其餘三十人，三十濃情集予身。

可憐十＊一廂思，相思相思求不得。

古來寄情殷紅豆，今人只留嘆無果。

佳人獨立多才識，不喜情愛喜書卷。

十＊苦戀心傷悲，對影哀傷空嘆息。

求之不得成遺恨，佳人不得成眷屬。

偶來一日休閒時，瞥見豆蔻與舞勺。

打鬧笑罵銀鈴聲，兩人形似熟相識。

十＊雖怒不能言，徬徨茫然不能止。

每來遠眺佳人時，只見雙雙笑語顏。

越發心中苦不堪，日月漸深空懊惱。

正如板上白筆痕，十＊情意明且恆。

聽其一誓真情見，寄語豆蔻佳人是：

吾心如鏡情如金，綿綿只念思汝詞。

2.4《測驗辭》

（第二屆亞軍）

題註：亂作詩歌《測驗辭》參考木蘭辭

測測復測測，仲要繼續測。

不聞打機聲，惟聞我嘆息。

問我何所思？問我何所憶？

我亦思電視，我亦憶手機。

昨夜見範圍，需要多溫書。

課本十二本，本本需要溫。

我不可休息，更不可睡覺。

願為分數高，從此去搏命。

東市買鉛筆，西市買補充，

南市買試溫，北市買擦膠。

旦辭溫習室，暮宿補習社。

不聞波友喚友聲，但聞書本揭書聲霍霍。

萬里赴考場，班房度若飛。

鐘聲傳試場，考生望試卷。

學渣白卷死，學霸十點歸。

歸來見校長，校長坐凳上。

優點十二個，賞賜萬獎金。

校長問所欲，學生不用做風紀，

願拿推介信，送兒上名校。

父母聞子來，急問成績何。

朋友聞友來，當戶去打機。

同學聞友來，雙手伸去遊戲機。

開我書房門，坐我大梳化。

脫我的校服，穿我舊時衣。

對幕去打機，當場去打波。

出門看朋友，朋友皆驚忙。

同行六學年，不知我是個學霸！

學霸愛溫書，學渣愛打機，

兩者傍地走，安能辨我是渣霸?😎

珊瑚淨幾塵，

英宰翼天縡。

文字無暇尋，

中斷神斧快，

學道師廣成。

2.6《春曉：藏頭詩》

題註: 設有分段，但每個開首都是《春曉》的字

春來汴水帶冰流，

眠飯安穩余何求。

不容朝市一塵入，

覺寫兩洲為一軸。

曉來人跡板橋斜，

處處庖廚鳴甕缶。

處處一犁春雨足，

聞說昭君出塞初。

啼鳥交加亦解顏，

鳥飛千里暮天碧。

夜闌搔首獨翻書，

來日藐藐若大難。

風約江聲喧笑語，

雨映青山訪謫仙。

聲名袞袞誰知命，

花添病眼正臨卷。

落絮飛花日正長，

知是人間第一泉。

多少詩翁問白衣，

少年辛苦校蟲魚。

子曰：「錢而時還之，不亦說乎？

有朋來還錢來，不亦樂乎？

人還錢加利息，不亦君子乎？」

子曰：「（還）本（金）但無利（息）則罔，

（還）利（息）但無本（金）則殆。」

擇還錢者而還之，其不還錢者而加利息之。」

眾里尋他千百度，驀然回首，那人卻在小賣部門口

2.9《新年》

作者: 紅社一人

月老廟，佳侶共許願，福締良緣。

百梳發，粉黛傾城顏，鳳冠霞帔。

花妝紅，新嬌乘鸞轎，紫簫聲起。

花瓣灑，嫁與心中郎，鸞鳳齊鳴。

鞭炮響，新郎背新娘，賓親喜迎。

夫妻禮，紅綢花雙牽，四拜洞房。

眾客歡，吉席醉瓊觴，溢喜筵開。

新詞賀，笑將美言祝，珠聯璧合。

合卺酒，錦帳情繾綣，月圓花好。

山區網絡差。

黃金抵上土。

河旁苦聲泣，

入出需補給。

海總倚着岸，

流水映晴朗。

欲要成夢想，

窮富皆共享。

千萬風雨起，

里程欲遠飛。

目睹人瑜璟，

更為事物興。

上下皆同心，

一鳴報皆音。

層級從不分，

樓群表歡欣。

2.12《一曲傾心》

一曲心音，滌盪了世間塵埃。

一縷花魂，沉醉了唯美憂傷。

一次邂逅，傾盡了高山流水。

一念執着，愛不同生死同穴。

春水凝碧，傾予幾許柔腸。

纖指紅塵，千世輪迴成殤。

願得一人心，白首不相離。

靜聽花開，爲你，傾盡千年的等待。

驀然回首，花開彼岸，香漫雪海。

欲見成績如期差，

盼望有日能出家。

驚恐師説吾自滿，

暗歎生活恆悲觀。

童年美夢漸破碎，

日月如梭不回去。

作者: IS學渣

有人睡前閱一書，此乃被稱不雅書，

此等消息傳家喻，包括門外那隻豬。

正人君子歎夢遺，不知何時自婚禮，

臨摹人何樂而為，只願一生一次誓。

其姊月事並不準，害怕自與誰懷孕，

躲在房內不談論，只驚數人聞而信。

科學課授青春期，師稱之不足為奇，

開始加添點自理，並要作心理準備。

有說青春堅離地，與夜長談無翼飛，

不再幼稚跳飛機，夢想無悔齊興起。

方知人驀然回首，求學時期學温柔，

走遍各地踏輕舟，只等落日再次冉。

有人笑言無韻味，亦盼真意廣遍地。

2.24《全心暑假》

三四月不盡芳華，疫情擋住了落霞，

原本兩國相無怨，雖有不同但共存。

祗因主君一時意，大動干戈百姓饑。

壯士一去得一返，得返十有八九殘。

全者心神亦已摧，家舍白帛隨風飄。

惜君國威化虛無，萬軍早成瓦花瓶。

本想立威達君意，竟反被推八百里。

君為君位君前途，「為光為榮為家邦」。

有手有足上前線，猶恐白帛不遮天。

憑闌西倚秋風，夜聞鐘。但見孤鴻遠去，識寒冬。

恨無痛，只是夢，一場空。但見廣寒留影，剩深宮。

深山遠霧遙池，舊來癡。碧竹淡雲流水，照如斯。

也真似，往日寺，相對時。看得夕陽西下，寂寥思。

浮萍不識紅霞，愛山茶。旭日何須春嫩，滾風沙。

可知夏，千萬畫，上枝椏。驟想盛花落盡，盡由他。

#3_8《菩薩蠻》二首

秦樓悠奏霓裳曲，畫堂輕訴前情哭。月下淡紗籠，塘前幽幽松。

南園嬉笑弄，竟化一場夢。寒骨幾絲風，可知能再逢？

清風敗絮盈盈墮，天寒水凍枝無果。飛雁莫跎蹉！時光已不多。

遙聞絲竹賀，金爵玉尊錯。今去事煩多，夢中尋孟婆。

#3_3《大概..是時候放下你了。 》

（第三屆冠軍）

作者：上學年1B退學生 (21-22)

還記得在六月中的時候，我們第一次相遇，是在大廈電梯裏。當時你問我”form幾啊” 我害羞的回答道”form1” 那時候的我，從沒想過我們的關係會發展成這樣。

本以為會是一場普通的相識，卻沒想到我們之後相遇了三次。在我們第三次相遇的時候，我鼓起勇氣，問了你的IG名字。

互相follow 之後，某一天，你回覆了我的story，我們從此亦變得越來越熟絡。

在12/7，我剛表白失敗。你在ig安慰我，在一個很曖昧的氣氛下，你向我表白了，而我也答應了。

記憶很清晰，在18/7，我們一起放學回家。在路上，我鼓起勇氣，牽住了你的手。那一瞬即逝的幾秒鐘，卻成為了我至今最難忘的記憶。

可惜，好景不常，那天過後，你對我越發冷漠。起初我以為是自己做錯什麼了，但卻一直找不到原因。

直至26/7，那天是我最後一天考試，也是我最後一天見你。我們一起放學回家，你說你對我的感覺只限於兄妹，並非戀人。儘管當時我已經預料到會有差不多的結果，但我的心仍然碎了一地。

當天回到家後，我們繼續用電話通話。你問我要不要繼續維持關係直至兩個月後，我答應了。但接下來的一個星期，我們的關係就像連普通朋友也不如，於是我決定了提出分手。因為我知道，就算我們一直這樣維持關係，也不會有結果的。

本以為分手的時候會有一點點的挽留，哪怕是一丁點不捨也好。但你的答覆卻令我感到好像你早已經想分手。當你回答”Okk”的時候，我瞬間明白了。原來我們之間已經連一丁點可能也不存在了。

在九月初的時候，我作出了一個決定。就是刪除聊天記錄並互相unfollow。

我承認，我後悔了。現在每天晚上，我腦海還是充斥着你的身影。明明只是短短兩星期的回憶，卻猶如刻骨銘心般。

我深知如果自己再這樣下去，很快就會有撐不住的一天。所以我決定，要真真正正地放下你了。

曾經有人問我 “如果俾你再嚟一次嘅話，你想唔想再次同佢相遇？” 老實說，如果不用面臨移民的問題，並且你對我是真心的話，我會堅定地選擇再次遇見你。但若果你要我再次經歷這般痛苦，那麼我的答覆將會是 “不了” 我寧願從沒遇見你，也不想再次經歷這段孽緣。

我很感謝你，在我最脆弱的時候出現了，讓我感到片刻幸福。但若能重來，不了。

#3_9《陳畜牲中學的性騷擾事件》

（第三屆亞軍）

作者: Balala

榮榮是陳畜牲中學的一名學生，他從進入這所學校開始，就遭受到同班同學浩識和耀耀的性騷擾和排斥。他經常被他們言語上的侮辱、身體上的觸碰和不當舉動所困擾。

這些性騷擾對榮榮的影響非常嚴重。他感到非常沮喪和孤獨，覺得自己無法和其他同學建立良好的關係。他也變得對自己感到不安，擔心自己的隱私會被曝光。他試圖向家長和老師求助，但他們的回應總是十分冷漠，甚至有時候還讓他感到更加孤單和無助。

有一次，榮榮在學校的廁所裡，耀耀突然伸出手機，拍下了榮榮上洗手間的樣子，包括榮榮的私密部位。這些照片被當作榮榮的黑材料，用來要脅他聽從浩識和耀耀的命令，否則就會把他的私密照片上傳到社交網站上去。據榮榮了解，這些照片是由耀耀拍攝的。

這些性騷擾和威脅對榮榮的心理狀況和身心健康造成了極大的傷害。他感到無助、孤獨和恐懼，對學校和社會的信任和支持程度也大大降低。

最終，榮榮得到了學校和社區的支持和幫助，他的處境得到了改善，也重新獲得了尊重和自信。而他和欣欣亦成為了好朋友，在一起度過了美好的時光。

#4_5《聖誕與關懷》

作者：Joshua 6A07

聖誕的意義是什麼？ 

記得上週五的聖誕早會上，區校長提到聖誕並不只是娛樂和消費，更是一個關懷在戰爭、貧窮、饑餓中苦苦掙扎的人民的機會。確實，人的悲歡並不相通，當燦爛的燈飾佈滿街道，桌上的美食令人垂涎欲滴，我們歡度佳節時難以主動聯想到這些悲慘的人。然而，僅靠一個呼籲真的能夠喚起我們的同情心嗎？難道說一句口號就能將一個冷漠、自私、缺乏同情心的人瞬間轉化為一個高尚、無私、悲天憫人的聖徒嗎？難道寫了一篇「想想別人」就能讓我們想想別人嗎？ 

真正的關懷並不來自一句在毫無瓜葛的場合提起的一句毫不真誠、沒有感觸的一句空話，而是來自日常的的接觸，是來自每天看到這些慘況後由心而發的情感。它不在一瞬間激發；它需要時間，在日積月累下慢慢培養，形成強大的、不可動搖的根基，常存心中，不會因一個演講而增加，也不會因節日的喜慶而減少。 

我們有時候會開玩笑說要「到敘利亞打暑期工」，當然，這幾年變成了「到烏克蘭打暑期工」。戰爭是地獄笑話的常見主題之一，我也很喜歡這類笑話。然而，甚麼是戰爭？當然有熱血的部分，有坦克1v8，1v20重創敵軍的案例，有拿著6秒引信的反坦克地雷徒手拋進房子，精心動魄的時刻，有FAB500絢麗的爆炸。但同樣甚至更多地，是一具具姿態詭異，缺手少腳，腐爛得只剩白骨的屍體；新鮮的屍體旁有點點乾涸後呈深褐色的血迹（與電影不同，很少會一地鮮血）；士兵驚恐地跳下車，在着地一刻踩到了地雷，整個小腿炸斷；相比之下，對屍體補槍顯得多麼仁慈，至少死人無法多死一次；茫茫雪地之上躺臥着聖誕特產－凍僵了的死去的士兵－但他們是幸運的，因為冬天屍體不容易腐敗，因此應該可以撐到收屍隊來清理他們的遺骸。 

悲慘與恐怖不需額外渲染，也不需要其他人揮舞寥寥數張審查過的「和諧版」照片說：「看啊！他們多悲慘！想想他們吧！」一類生硬的話。一切情感都是源於事物本身而非抽象的道理。當你每天見到這些時，即使是鐵石心腸，也不免惋惜和同情他們的遭遇。事實足以說明一切。 

因此，聖誕的意義是甚麼？我認為其不在虛偽地加倍關心正在掙扎的人－真要關心平時早就應該關心他們。正是因為平時見到太多這樣的慘狀了，當我們來到充滿喜悅和希望的聖誕時，我們才會為自己不需要面對同樣的遭遇感到幸福，放下這些壓抑的事情，更感謝身邊每一個友善的人，度過歡樂的聖誕節。

祝大家聖誕節快樂。

#5_1《論 Sports Day 斬之必要》

作者：匿名人士

到底三號風就cut，係咪一個好嘅選擇？

2025年9月16日和19日，張祝珊英文中學舉辦了一年一度的運動會，這是一個全校師生期待已久的盛事。運動會不僅是體育競技的舞台，更是促進團隊精神和提升士氣的重要活動。然而，這次的運動會卻因為三號強風信號的發出而被迫取消，令許多參與者感到失望和遺憾。

不少人對於這一決定表示不滿，認為這樣的天氣條件並不足以阻止活動的進行。居住在小西灣的我，更是感到無奈，因為這類季候風的強度其實並不算特別大，甚至在平時的生活中我們也常常面對類似的天氣。因此，許多人對於運動會的取消感到困惑，並質疑這樣的決定是否真的有必要。

然而，值得注意的是，張祝珊英文中學的決定並非出自自我意願，而是遵循教育局的指示。教育局在安全方面的考量，雖然有其合理性，但卻讓這個一年一度的盛會失去了舉辦的機會。這反映出在教育和安全之間的取捨，有時候可能會讓人感到無奈和失落。希望未來能夠在保障安全的同時，找到更靈活的解決方案，以便讓學生和家長能夠享受到這類活動的樂趣。

#3_1《Over-promotion: When canvassing is not enough》

(filtered)

Author: 2B08 (21-22)

Everywhere we go, we are constantly surrounded with promotion that tell us to vote. The media tells us that the key you happiness is voting Aesira or Elysia. Now, promotions make it even easier to get more trust from us. You can just enjoy their ‘noises’ everyday and get a free ticket to the heaven. Promotions are making trusts, while we are suffering from the unimaginable noises that can one-shot us. When is enough, enough?

Studies show that compulsive promotion and high self-esteem are closely connected. Voters spend too little time thinking about what they vote for. Instead, they choose a quick fix by scanning Aesira’s and Elysia’s media pages. An Idiot called J**** states, ‘Compulsive voters go to both students associations’ media pages to compare which one is better. After deciding, many factors, like the influence of other students, make them hard to decide. So to feel better, they prefer to abstain. It is a vicious circle that never ends over the years.’ Likewise, I believe promotions won’t help a lot. To them, promotions are like a form of disturbance in which they choose to abstain instead. They see themselves as normal as one voter only who won’t change the results. As a result, promotions may not be the best way that the voters won’t do anything about that (maybe that is the bad point of promotions).

However, in my opinion, Aesira and Elysia should rethink what it means to be a promoter. I know too many people who want to make themselves better than others, so they choose to promote others. Most of them are in trouble because they keep promoting even though they do not realise that they are too annoying. And as they promote more, voters will start to abstain. The problem is the promoters don’t even know the danger is coming.

So, where do we vote from here? As clichéd as it sounds, too few people think before they vote. We need to stop rushing for promotion, i.e. to stop losing trusts from others, and only become a guy who sends us to the heaven. Personally, I prefer better promotions, like posting posters at school instead of shouting all the day, and promote fewer on the Internet. All of these options can earn trusts. But most importantly, we must understand promoting does not mean that we can make more people to view, and as the saying goes, ‘Promotions will come and go, but your hard work will always shine and show…’

#3_6《When too much is overdone》

（第三屆季軍）

作者: 2B** (21-22)

[Re#F2255]

(OE2A Unit 1 Text 1 Overconsumption 3.0)

Everywhere we go, we are constantly surrounded with tons of thousands of quizzes and homework that tell us to revise. Many educationalists tell us that the key to knowledge is doing more past papers and revisions. Now, CCSC makes it even crazier by arranging more homework and quizzes. You can enjoy doing piles of worksheets and get a free chance straight to heaven. Knowledge is improving, while our brains are suffering from the unimaginable amount of work that teachers assigned each day. When is enough, enough?

Studies show that stress has many effects on the human nervous system and can cause structural changes in different parts of the brain. Teachers spend too little time thinking about the amount of stress we accumulate. Instead, they choose a quick fix by giving us more quizzes to us. Some professors state, ‘Previous research has shown that academic-related stress reduces academic performance and motivation as well as increases the risk of dropping out of school. Long-term effects, including reduced likelihood of sustainable employment, cost governments billions of dollars each year. This narrative review presents the latest research on the effects of academic-related stress, including discussions of the impact on student's ability to learn and academic performance, mental health issues such as depression and anxiety, sleep disturbances, and substance abuse. The more the teachers give, the worse the problem. This is a vicious circle that never ends.’ Likewise, I believe these teachers are looking for more than just ‘assignments to give. To the students, doing the assignments and quizzes is like a form of death in which they can not only receive knowledge but also stress emotional damage. They see themselves as mental-damaged students who are continuously doing their work. As a result, facing the test is some sort of stressful to us because we are already knocked out before the test because of the quizzes and assignments (maybe that is why ‘History, Chinese History and Geography tests ‘ is called ‘death of three’).

Correspondingly, in my opinion, CCSC should rethink its overdone for allocating too many dictations, homework and quizzes, along with arranging a long test duration of a month. I know many teachers, who are worried about our academic results and are struggling with how to improve our results. Most of them are giving too many sudden quizzes because they want to test us after a chapter. And as the quizzes accumulate, we get more stressed. Those do not give us much breathing space either. The problem is the teachers are only getting more straightforward by assigning more work to us. 

So, where do we go from here? As clichéd as it sounds, too few teachers think before they assign. They need to slow down a little bit, i.e. not giving quizzes too frequently. I prefer the 'BDT method', which stands for 'Breaking Down the Test'. It is like breaking down the test into little quizzes, and instead of having boring classes, teachers should use a more relaxing way to teach in class. For instance, 'run-dictation' and 'Kahoot quizzes' are much better. But most importantly, we must understand that there is no quick fix in learning. We still need to be hardworking to keep the score, and as the saying goes (by Virat Kohil), 'Self-belief and hard work will always earn you success.

#4_3《LIFE – Living, Inevitable, Fleeting, Existence》

Oh, gallant adventures of life, should you chance upon my path, I beseech you to cast your gaze upon my humble existence.

*

Sometimes, I ponder upon notions that may appear unreasonable at first glance, yet hold profound significance. One might perceive life as a mere existence, where we are all brimming with vitality. Yet in truth, we are merely enduring until the inevitable embrace of death. Days slip away, drawing us closer to our mortal end. Contemplating life, an array of inquiries arise, yet I refrain from imposing directives upon myself. Instead, I implore you to bear in mind this notion: the brevity of life renders it too fleeting for us to truly radiate.

Assuming the veracity of this perspective, another quandary emerges: what truly constitutes the essence of life? Individuals are born, traverse the journey of growth, engender the next generation, perpetuating the cyclical pattern, and eventually succumb to death. Prior to your birth, you had no presence in this world, and your soul remained unformed. Upon death, it is plausible that the soul is utterly obliterated, forever extinguished. Consequently, one becomes nothingness, a vessel devoid of vitality, bereft of the ability to experience or act, immersed in the realm of the deceased.

Let us consider an individual who graced this world millennia ago, and upon their demise, faded into oblivion, becoming an inconsequential entity. Yet their existence spanned only a few decades, after which they vanished for thousands of years until the present. While certain religions may propose an afterlife, where one's existence persists beyond death in either paradise or damnation, from a scientific standpoint, let us hypothetically envision a world devoid of an afterlife. In such a scenario, we exist solely to await the harrowing moment of our demise, a torment in its own right.

Occasionally, I find myself contemplating the nature of death. Will it be an agonising ordeal? Suddenly, all becomes engulfed in darkness! The most disheartening aspect is that after this transition, one ceases to be. Currently, at the age of 15, considering the average human lifespan, one-fifth of my existence has already elapsed. Time fleetingly gallops by, leaving us to ponder: how best to orchestrate our lives?

Indeed, this is a thought-provoking question warranting profound introspection.

Before I elaborate, let me ask you a question: Pressured yet?  Life at this school is truly a fulfilling one.  But, at the same time, it is a fast-paced one.  Take a wrong routine or schedule, and that free time of yours gets wasted on piles of homework or arduous revisions.  In your journey to graduation, stress seemed inevitable and nigh unsolvable.  Therefore, I will discuss on how it is caused, how it may affect you and most importantly, how to minimize its effects.

Everyday, we always face pressure, whether it is from others, or yourself.  It can range from simple activites such as talking to friends, to more frequent ones such as failing to achieve a better score on a quiz.  Now, pressure isn't inherently bad.  As the saying goes: less is more.  A bit of pressure can increase your daily working efficiency, but when you have too much of it, the negative effects outweigh the benefits, and this is where things go awry.

Pressure to negative emotions is like fuel to flame.  Pressure empowers them, making them harder to deal with.  These negative emotions can induce both psychological and physical symptoms, such as but not limited to irritability, anxiety and stomach aches.  Recent research on the psychological health of students has revealed that a large percentage of students felt stressed due to school.  A number of students, including a former me, had depression due to stress.  Aside from these symptoms, it can also cause a shift in personality, such as from optimistic to pessimistic.  High amounts of pressure is akin to poison, where its effects slowly corrode your everyday life and you, until you find a way to deal with it or it deals with you first.  

To recap, pressure exists in our everyday lives and a lot of young people are suffering because of its detrimental effects.  Now, you might be wondering, how am I going to decrease it when it is inevitable?  Remember that last line of the first paragraph?  Pressure is inevitable, but it is just a nigh unsolvable problem, and that means there are ways to relieve yourself from this widespread menace.

The first suggestion is to lower your mental focus whenever possible.  Keeping your mind in a concentrated state is fatiguing to your mental state.  Whenever you finished what you are doing, take at least a few minutes to do whatever you want.  You can take a drink, watch some scenery, or watch some videos (not highly recommended).  You can even daydream for a while if you can spare the time to do so!  Just relax yourself in your free time.

The second suggestion is to laugh your troubles off.  Literally!  Research has shown that laughing can help reduce stress and stress-related problems, as well as increase production of endorphins, a chemical partially responsible for happiness.  Moreover, it can also strengthen your immune system and cardiovascular system.  With these benefits, it's no wonder why laughter is the best medicine!

Another suggestion is to have less negative thoughts.  The more negative thoughts you have, the more the stress may influence you through these thoughts.  Speaking of thoughts, lust and desire can be easily influenced by stress, which may warp your personality and the way you treat people.  A way to counter this is to try and enjoy every sensation in your life, as it can fill you with positive emotions.

PS: Don't take drugs, not worth being caught!

The last suggestion is to repeat mantras, not religious ones, but ones that can induce effects on you.  I personally tried this method, and all I can say is that it truly helps with the problems I am facing in S4.  Not only can repeating personal mantras relieve stress, if you made tailor-made it for yourself, it can even help you in changing you into an ideal self, helping you to realize yourself in a better form and instill values that you want yourself to have.  Besides that, it can also help increase your mental fortitude, stress handling capacity and help you see the world in a newer way.

I once missed things in my life due to the stress of everyday life.  I was reluctant to try anything due to my lack of confidence, and now the time to do so is running short.  Now that I look back, if I knew this would happen, I would have cherished everything and every moment.  As the author, I sincerely hope that this essay can bring help to those who need it.  Be bold and daring, as there isn't a lot of chances for you to try everything.  Cherish everything, so that someday, when it is all gone, you won't have regrets.  In the end, I wish you all to care for what you care.  After all, we all have something to care, someone to love, places to go, or people to cherish.
