Homework of the Day 23/2

Another flood of emotions, washing people's 'happy' away from their faces... Only 'sadness' engraved on the tired, worn out, face. Have you been emotional lately? Or rather, 'emo'? Tell you what, it happens to teenagers most of the time. You can't run away from it, nor can you hide from it. But you can put on a mask on your face and let your worries and sorrows lock up in your heart, sucking up every centimetre cube of oxygen you take in. You struggle. It's futile. Useless. The 'emo' in will never fade away from you unless you release these frustrating, upsetting, irritating emotions you boxed up in your heart. So, get the key to open up your heart and spill out the feelings - those uncomfortable feelings. You are letting te emo get in your way from having a joyful life that you ought to have. The key to your heart: 1) Friends; 2) Families; 3) Teachers; 4) A serene place (for you to cry it all out or scream it out); 5) A blog, journal, diary or whatever you can scribble down your feelings. Don't loose yourself in feeling 'emo', you just need to rattle on all your thoughts out to a confidante, a good friend or relative. Stay happy people!!!

PS: I have no idea why I wrote this here... ><

English - Do the homework given out last lesson because Ms J didn't check today and you may do the questions on he R&J (optional), the one given out on our first lesson with her.
