"Rising problem of sexual bullying in schools"

The article I have chosen is from BBC News and it’s called “Rising problem of sexual bullying in schools”. It talks about this very serious problem, which has increased in the last years, especially between young people. There are different kinds of sexual bullying, from the name-calling (with words like slag or gay) to other offences like assault or rape. In the article, there are three cases of sexual bullying suffered by three girls with ages between five and fifteen years old. All of them say that the guilty is always better supported than the victim. I think that violates the second part of article number 7 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which says “All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.” There’s also a violation of article number 5, that says: “No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”.

A man receives a phone call from his doctor.
The doctor says, "I have some good news and some bad news."
The man says, "OK, give me the good news first."
The doctor says, "The good news is, you have 24 hours to live."
The man replies, "Oh no! If that's the good news, then what's the bad news?"
The doctor says, "The bad news is, I forgot to call you yesterday."

TOC-TOC
- Wait a moment! I’m coming!
(He opened the door and three men entered into the house.)
- Where is the money? (Said the smallest one, with a cigar)
- What ... money? Who are you?
- Don’t turn a deaf ear; you know you owe a lot of money to the boss.
- Wait, wait! I’ll return you the money when I’ll finish my business.
- I don’t trust on your words. We have been waiting too much time.
- No, no! This time it’s true!
- Ok, it’s your last chance. But if I don’t have it tomorrow at midnight, I’ll come and kill your daughter.
- No, please! Kill me, but don’t touch my family!
- I’ve warned you. I don’t withdraw my words. Sayonara. You two, beat him up.

An elephant and an ant met near a river. The elephant was walking when the ant shouted:

Ant- Hey! Stop! Be careful!

Elephant- Who is this? - Said the elephant.

A- It’s me! Here! Down, at your feet. You were going to step me!

E- Oh, I’m sorry. What are you doing here?

A- I am looking for food and you are stepping my way. Can you put out your leg from here?

E- I’m bigger than you. Why should I do what you want?

A- Because I’m more intelligent than you.

E- That’s not true!

A- Yes!

E- No!

A- Yes!

Suddenly, a voice said:

Turtle- Shut up! I want to sleep!

E- What’s up? The stone is talking!

A- No, It’s a mountain!

T- No! I’m a turtle! Haven’t you ever seen a turtle?

E- What’s a turtle? I don’t know what a turtle is...

A- I’ll tell you: It’s an animal with a big shell and four legs. It eats wild herbs but some of them eat meat. What do you eat?

T- I usually eat ants, is it OK?

A- Nooooo!!

T- Don’t worry, I was joking.

E- Really?

T- Yes, I don’t eat ants, I eat elephants.

A- Wow! Like me!

E- I’m getting angry! Very furious! With turtles people make soup. Do you want to be in a soup?

T- Mmm. I like soups!

Suddenly a mole appeared from the soil.

Mole- What’s going on? You! Big guy, you are stepping on my place, my home is falling down!

E- It’s not me! It’s the ant!

M- And what the hole are you doing, ant?

A- Such a beautiful day!

Giraffe- Yes, very nice. Don’t you think?

T- Eing? Where do you come from?

G- I’ve seen everything and the ant is stepping the mole’s house.

A- Wow! The tree is talking!

G- Shut up snitch!

A few moments later the giraffe hit the tree and a lot of pineapples fall from the tree, hitting the elephant’s head and killing him. The elephant fall on the mole killing him too.

Then, the turtle said:

T- Mmm, we have a dinner now!

G- How do you prefer that? Rare, medium or well done?

A- Well done and, if it’s possible, with chips.

T- Yes, and an apple in the mouth.

Yes, it was a great cook dinner. They washed the elephant and the mole in the river and ate them after cooking.

They spent the afternoon talking about football and after a lot of hours the ant said:

A- Aren’t you hungry?

G- Yes!

T- But we’ve eaten a lot.

G & A- Yes.

T- We can eat something light, like... an ant?

G & A- Nooooo!

T- So... a giraffe?

G & A- Noooo!

T- Maybe a turtle?

G & A- Yeeess!

T- But I don’t want to eat turtle now!

G & A- But we want that.

They killed the turtle and later they made a delicious turtle soup.

A- Mmmm. That soup was great!

G- Yes, but I want to tell you a secret. Come here, on the top of the tree.

The ant climbed the tree, and when she was on the top, near the giraffe’s head:

G- Fffffff (blowing).

The ant fall to the floor and died...

G-(singing) MmMmm mmMMm... I’m alive.
