nderstanding why Students LieGod sends children to enlarge our hearts, and to make us unselfish and

full of kindly sympathies and affections. (Mary Howitt)

Why do students lie? There are various reasons for a student to lie to their teachers;

what are the reasons behind students saying lies. Let us look at the top 5 reasons why students lie.

1.Fear:

The first and foremost reason is fear. Many children students tend to lie because they fear that their teach

ers may scold them. Take for example your student has spoilt class desk, your student may say it was hi

her desk mate who did it for the fear of getting scolding or punishment from the teacher or principal.. Thespecially happens when the teachers are too strict

2. Peer pressure:Peer pressure is another reason why students lie. When the students peer says that they have visited a pa

ticular place or watched a particular movie, a student may lie that he/she has also visited the place o

watched the movie as he/she doesnt want to be left out of the crowd.

3. Lack of self-confidence or self-esteem:

Students lie when they lack self-esteem or self-confidence. These students in an attempt to impress other

start to lie.

4. Seeking attention:Some students liked to be the center of attraction; when they dont get th

required attention students start to lie. These days in many families botparents work; this is one reason they dont find much time to spend wit

their little ones. Take a situation where your child is eagerly waiting fo

your return so that he/she can play with you and you dont even give

smile, what do you think the child will do? The child would immediatel

say he/she has done something good in the class and the teacher apprecated him/her for the behavior. You would immediately go, hug the chil

and ask if you both can play for some time. This is exactly what the child wants and invariably starts to l

whenever your child wants your attention.

5. Avoid doing things they hate:There are few students who hate solving mathematical problems or drawing diagrams. These student

simply say they have done the work but lost the book, so that they need not do what they hate. It is no

intentional, but just to avoid doing things they hate, students lie.

Once the reason why students lie is identified, it is

easier to correct this behavior.

World Cancer Day Feb 4, 2011Theme:" Teach Children and Teenagers toavoid UV exposure by being "sun smart

Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. WHO estimates

that 84 million people will die of cancer between 2005 and 2015 without intervention.

Each year on 4 February, WHO supports International Union Against Cancer to promote ways to ea

the global burden of cancer. Preventing cancer and raising quality of life for cancer patients are rec

ring themes.

Sun Protection: We all need daylight; small amounts of UV are beneficial for people and essential in tproduction of vitamin D, necessary for calcium balance. Sun ex-

posure also kills certain germs and boosts our mood. In fact, peo-

ple who lack daylight can developSAD Seasonal Affective Dis-order which is a form of depression caused by the lack of sunlight

during winter. UV radiation is also used to treat several diseases,

including rickets, psoriasis, eczema and jaundice. Unfortunately,

overexposure to the sun rays damages the skin irreparably and

prolonged exposure to solar UV radiation may result in acute and

chronic health effects on the skin, eye and immune system

Overexposure to the sun ( w ithout appropriate sun protection ) : Causes sunburn and tissue destruction.

Causes people sensitive to ultraviolet light to react with redness, rashes and itching just after a b

exposure to sunlight.

Increases the risk of skin cancer and Damages the skin collagen resulting in premature aging of

skin.

Checking for skin cancerSkin cancer found early can be treated early. When treated early, most sk

cancers can be cured. If left untreated, skin cancer can be fatal.

It's important to get to know your skin and what is normal for you sochange

will be quickly noticed. Skin cancer is often visible (but rarely painful) makin

it easier to detect in the early stages.

The Key Factor: make a Study TIME TABLE...small STUDY blocks with regular periods to relax

Revise ALL SUBJECTS equally. No subject is too hard or to easy.

Face your future exams with an eye on the past papers

Give your self MOCK exams in groups or individually.

Avoid a Cluttered Study Table, Distracting music, dark and dungy workplaces.

Study the Exam Patterns: length of the exam, style of questions set, form of answers required

2. OVERCOMING PANIC AND EXAMINATION FEVER: Allow time for relaxation and creative thinking. Breathe deeply and in regular intervals to relax the body and mind. Prepare everything the night before the exams. Make a check list..follow it up. Organize your summary notes for quick reference and revision. Sleep well. You deserve it. Don t push your body to over-exertion. Visualize yourself in a positive manner. Support your Study with Prayer and quite moments. Noise defragments the mind. Three points to remember always: PREPARATION, RELAXATION, CONFIDENCE
