.. Paedophiles ..

..WHAT MONSTERS!!..

I really don't understand why people like this exist in the world. Paedophiles have been sterotyped as dirty sad men, however women are just as bad. When you hear about paedophiles in the media, its always related to children, WHY is this?

You hear all kinds of stories about paedophiles, such as in home but it is very common on the Internet too. When I say the Internet, I mean like chatrooms flirting with young teenagers. The thing is you don't really think paedophiles exist but they do! and they are so clever with the way they come across to other people.

"Paedophiles are increasingly targeting babies and children too young to avoid being caught, the police have revealed"

Hearing this I find it so disgusting, what is the point?? What do they get out of this??

.. Gambling ..

Gambling can be a form of ‘being bad’, it can also be fun, but then again it can become an addiction which may cause financial problems for the person.

There are many forms of gambling that people can get hooked on to:
< > Roulette
< > Scratch cards
< > Lottery
< > Slots
< > Horse track gambling
< > Card games
< > Sports betting

There are various religion views going against gambling, one religion being Christianity. “The Bible defines sin as the transgression of God's spiritual law, the Ten Commandments (I John 3:4). One of these commandments is that we must not covet, or wrongfully desire another's possessions (Exodus 20:17). Therefore, any activity that is based upon covetousness is sin.”

I think gambling can become an problem especially when you start playing, and you have beginners luck and your winning money, you do get tempted and excited and you want to play more, and sometimes when you are losing you don’t realise because in your mind your thinking that your winning so much money even though your losing money at the same time.

.. Stalking ..

"Someone is watching over me..."

When does a concerned interest in someone's activities become stalking?

Are some kinds of observance allowable and appropriate? Which ones aren't?

Everyone in one point of their life has experience a painful break-up, so it is easy to sympathize with someone else who is having difficulty letting go, for example: phoning, sending flowers, letters, gifts to win back their love.

Then again, many of us have had crushes on another person, so in one way or another we can relate to the tactics people sometimes use to get their attention. For example: when you are on the receiving end of these pursuit's it can be very flattering; however when it crosses the line, and starts to make you feel uneasy that that is your instinct is telling you something very important- that you are being stalked and you might be in danger.

Stalking is a serious form of being bad, and can have various affects, such as negative impacts on personal relationships, taking time off from education or work or even living in fear as they might feel something may happen to them physically.

Knife crime has hit such a high rate in the past 5 years...So where has it come from?

Peer pressure is one of the main factors behind it . Stats show that the majority of victims targeted and offenders are teens. Last year in London alone over 20 teens were murdered in knife crime attacks.
