Praise to Allah I’ve been given

the opportunity to write in this column. I

felt so happy in my first day at CFS of

IIUM. One of the rules at CFS is all stu-

dent are compulsory to take EPT test to

determine the length of one study. As I’ve

got level 5 in the EPT test, I’ve

qualified myself to be in one-year-

program. However, I don’t have the

courage to write and speak in Eng-

lish spontaneously like my other

classmates do it. Our beloved mad-

ams’ thought and guided us on how

to write proper English. We were

given tasks, exercises and all of our

hard work had to be put up in our own magazine.

GENERATION consists my

works and efforts throughout this se-

mester. Thanks to all for the guidance,

as I can write in a little bit more con-fidence and I’m

determine to be exempted in the

final exam. Do pray for my suc-cess! -AISYAH

It was semester break when

the accident happened. I have to stay

back in my hostel as I forgot to buy

the ticket bus earlier. I don’t aspect the tick-

ets would sold out in advance. One morning,

as I want to go to the toilet, I saw a lot of

blood on the floor along the corridor. When I

reached the toilet, I was very shocked be-

cause I found a student in the toilet and her

body covers with blood. Furthermore, there

was a baby on her laps. The girl looks pale

and tired. In a blink of an eye, I rushed to see

the principal and we send the poor girl to the

hospital nearby. It shows that teen pregnancy

nowadays has become a lot worst. What are

the causes? What are the effects of teen preg-

nancy?

In GENERATION, we have en-

countered the questions and answers for

these matters. - HAJAR.

I love my family. Last semester

break, my family and I went to Padang, Indo-

nesia. As I love to shop, my parent booked us

a hotel near Matahari Mall. It was my favor-

ite mall of all as it consists of different kind

of fabric and textile. In one evening, as I went

down the road, I saw a group of secondary

students were bullying one of their school-

mates in front of the school gate. I was hesi-

tated to go and stop them as I saw their teach-

ers also did not do anything. You might don’t

understand on what cause teenagers nowadays

are behaving like that.

In GENERATION, we have done

research of places on children are bullied and

the report has been included. Based from the

report, parents can be more alert in their child

conditions: emotionally and physically. -

HAZIRAH

Alhamdulillah praise to Allah that finally

our group has finished the magazine which is

known as ‘Generation’. I’m feeling very excited for

this project since it is my first experience to make a

magazine. This project has teaches me a lot on how

to be more patience and build up teamwork spirit.

Since I’m an architecture and environmental design

student, I think my life is going different from the

other students. For example, I’m always stay awake

at night and sometime until morning just only to

finish my project and now, I will feel weird if I’m

going to bed early. Sometimes, after the project is

being submitted, I will do other work to fill up the

free time since I can’t get sleep early. Although I

know that has a lack sleep is not good for health but

to finish the project is the most important for me.

But, after doing this project, I realized that to get

enough sleep is important to maintain good

health since enough sleep can make me

slim. For your information, if we do not

get enough sleep which is above 5 hours, it

will make us gain weight. Hence, one of

the columns in this magazine will explain

to you more about sleep enough can make

you slim. So, I hope all of you enjoy our

magazine. Keep your eyes on

‘Generation’.– SAZILA

Pray Before Eating Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When little

Logan received his plate, he started eating right away.

"Logan, wait until we say our prayer," his mother reminded him.

"I don't have to," the little boy replied.

"Of course you do," his mother insisted, "we say a prayer before eating at our

house."

"That's at our house," Logan explained, "but this is Grandma's house and she knows

how to cook."

Getting Fat

When I was six months pregnant with my third child, my three year old came into the room when I was just getting ready to get into the shower. She said, "Mummy, you are getting fat!" I replied, "Yes, honey, remember Mummy has a baby growing in her tummy." "I know," she replied, but what's growing in your bum?"

Too much TV???

A mother was reading a book about animals to

her 3 year old daughter:

Mother: "What does the cow say?"

Child: "Moo!"

Mother: "Great! What does the cat say?"

Child: "Meow."

Mother: "Oh, you're so smart! What does the

frog say?"

And this wide-eyed little 3 yr. old looked up at

her mother and in her deepest voice replied,

"Bud."

Talking Too Much

Eight-year-old Nina brought her report card

home from school. Her marks were

good...mostly A's and a couple of B's.

However, her teacher had written across the

bottom: "Nina is a smart little girl, but she has

one fault. She talks too much in school. I have an

idea I am going to try, which I think may break

her of the habit."

Nina's dad signed her report card, putting a note

on the back: "Please let me know if your idea

works on Nina because I would like to try it out

on her mother."

Dear Mak Cik Mah, I have a big problem at my working place. My workmates are too friendly, they are like to gossip about unimportant matters and backstabbing. Orderly, they do not do their work properly. Moreover, they are hypocrite. The way they communicate is distracted that can lose my focus towards my work. They are also like to laugh on top of their voice that can be disrespect to the other workers and the employer. Can you give me some advice? As soon as possible please write to me. Thank you. Assalamualaikum. From, Redrose

Dear redrose, Waalaikumussalam. First of all, thank you for seeking my advice.

Have you ever complained to your employer? If not, please do so. If it’s still not working, you can talk to them personally that you can’t focus on your work because of their distractions, as you have the right as an employee. You should talk to them nicely so that they can understand your situation and respect your condition. Explained to them that their laughter is making you to lose your focus and it can affect the quality of work. If this way is still does not work, be patience, strong and do your work sincerely because of Allah s.w.t. God willing, He will help. Try to learn to ignore them. From, Mak Cik Mah

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all con-structed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you." Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you." "Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her. Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were go-ing. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?" Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time

is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.”

Generally, everyone wants to have a slim and slander body. Put aside all the slim-ming products in your shelf as there is a simple way that can make you slim without spending any cent of your money which is through sleeping. The amount of sleep we need varies from one person another person, where depends in many factors, including age. Therefore, experts recommend 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night for adults. It is stated that, enough sleep can make you thin as it decrease your hunger and increase your basal metabolic rate.

Firstly, to have a slimmer body one need to have enough sleep as sleeping can de-creases your hunger. Sleep can affects the hormones level in your body which are leptin and ghrelin. Leptin and ghrelin work in a kind of “checks and balances” system to control feelings of hunger and fullness. Ghrelin, which is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, stimulates appetite, while leptin, produced in fat cells, sends a signal to the brain when you are full. So, what’s the connection to sleep? “When you don’t get enough sleep, it drives leptin levels down, which means you don’t get feel as satisfied after you eat. Lack of sleep also causes ghrelin levels to rise, which means your appetite is stimulated, so you want more food, “said experts from Atlanto School of Medicine. Therefore, when the two combined, it can set the stage for overeating, which is turn may lead to weight gain.

Secondly, through sleeping, one can stimulate the metabolism rate in body which helps to burn more carbohydrates and make one slimmer. In general, sleeping less may affects changes in a person’s metabolic rate (the number of calories you burn when you are rest). Besides, when you sleep less, you move around less too, and therefore burn up fewer calories. Then, when the calories burn up less, it is mean that you are gaining weight.

In general, you can be slim by just having enough sleep without the need to buy

slimming products that only burn holes in your pockets. If one want to be slim, one need

to have enough sleep as sleep can lower your hunger and increase your metabolic rate.

ENOUGH SLEEP CAN MAKE YOU SLIM

It has been said that there are three effects of teen pregnancy such as inadequate weight gain,

being restrained in school activities and emotionally depressed.

One of the effects of teen pregnancy is about her inadequate weight gained. This is due

to her lack of experience and had no guidance on what type of vitamins to be consumed to

keep her health. Most of them are afraid to tell their guardians about their condition of being

pregnant.

Being restrained from involves in school activities is the next effect of young adult

pregnancy. The teenage mother cannot continue the activity that she loves such as in sports

activity. For example, the young adult was an athlete in her school in volleyball. She cannot

play volleyball like she used to as her womb is getting bigger by day.

Emotionally depressed is the last effect of teen pregnancy. Most of the teenage mothers

do not know how to cope with their emotional changes because they are immature. Besides,

the young adult feel depressed due to the fear of rejection by the society. She is afraid if the

society would turn back on her unborn child and herself in the future.

tionally depressed are the effects of teen pregnancy. It is suggests that teenage mothers would

seek for advice from an experience and trusted person around her. Besides, it is recommended

to the young mothers to attend classes on how to take care of their babies before and after he

THE CAUSE OF TEEN PREGNANCY BY SITI AISYAH ABD AZIZ

Nowadays, teen pregnancies are widely occurs in Malaysia. In fact, news about teen pregnancy abroad in newspaper are also common. It has been proven that teen pregnancy is caused by the following factors: broken home, got rape and lack of religious knowledge.

First of all, research shows that many teenagers come from broken homes either through divorce or other causes. Teens perceive their life in a broken home environment like a storm of emotion when their parents always quarrel in front of them. Sometimes when mother comes back late it triggers her father’s suspi-cious and it cause a quarrel between them. Sometimes the father is a drunkard or gambler, and they frighten the family, forcefully take money and break down the house. It will cause teenage feel depress and seek freedom and do things that can lead to their pregnancy. Coming from a broken home is a cause of teen preg-nancy.

Secondly, another cause of teen pregnancy is rape. Some of them are vic-tims of rape. They possibly get raped by a stranger, her boyfriend, her father, brother and so on. Recently, most of teenagers like to wear clothes that attract the opposite sex. Sometimes, teenagers feel their boyfriend is very kind and be-lieve in them too much until she gets raped by her own boyfriend. In the case of rape by her father or her brother they usually are the step father or brother. When male sexual desires is at its peak, they do not think about the girl as long as his desire has fulfilled. Not all male can be trusted. So, we cannot believe in males 100 per cent, also to think that all male are kind and wear clothes that do not cover our aurah.

The lack of religious knowledge is the last cause for teen pregnancy. It is because parents nowadays are busy with their own work and spend less time with their children. Therefore, they forgot their responsibility to give religious knowledge to their children. For example, Faezah is one who does not go to reli-gious school when her parents are not around. She does not worship to God (Allah), as she does not perform her solah, she barely recites the Al-Quran. Be-cause of the weak iman that she had, she is lonely all the time, and she believe she has nothing left except her boyfriend. Therefore, she would do anything to be with him. Altogether this can cause to the teen pregnancy as she submitted herself in him. Hence, lack of religious can lead to the teen pregnancy.

In general, broken home, rape and religious knowledge can lead to the cause of teen pregnancy. We cannot blame the teenagers only, for their preg-nancy, as their parents and society are also responsible to educate them to this social issue. So, the social issue of teen pregnancy can be reduced if the govern-ment and all community work together in solving this problem.

The pie chart shows the percentage of the effects of teen pregnancy that occurs in Malaysia. The three effects are emotionally de-pressed, being restrained in school activities, and inadequate weight gain.

Based on the chart, being emotionally depressed is the

biggest effect of teen pregnancy with 60 percent. Besides, 30 percent of young adults are being restrained in school activities as a result their limited physical abilities. The effect of inadequate weight gain is the least effect of teen pregnancy with 10 percent as minimally of them had experience taking care of a baby.

In general, being emotionally depressed is the greatest ef-fect of teen pregnancy and inadequate weight gain is the least. It is possible that most of teen mothers nowadays are still immature in controlling their emotional.

The Causes of Bullies Among Students BY SAZILA JOHARI

Recently, we can hear that there are many cases of school bullying. Bullying is not a new problem in school but it is gaining more attention as episodes of school violence are increasing. Unfortunately, bullying does not only involve boys, it also involves girls. It is stated that, there are many causes that contributes to bully such as the desire of attention, the influence of the media and the problems in a family. First of all, the cause of bullying is the desire of attention. Usually, students between 13 to 18 years old are curious to do something new and they are in need of attention from people around them to advice on the right thing they should do in life. Unfortunately, children who do not get enough attention or emotional support at home may try to get noticed even in negative ways. For example, bullying in school. They will start to hu-miliate someone else in many ways, such as ask them to finish their home-work or threaten them to give money. Lately, they have become more ag-gressive by beating up students who fail to give the money to them. Besides, the influence of the media is also one of the causes of school bullying among students. It is a natural for a child to imitate what they have seen. As we know, television shows, video games, websites and popu-lar music are the examples of media which has facets that encourage stu-dents to have violent behavior. These troubled children may use the violent behavior to be aggressive and gain popularity among their schoolmates. Hence, the media give big influences to bullies among students. Last but not least, the cause of bullies among students is the problems in a family. Most of the cases state that the children who are involved in school bullying came from problematic family and have bad discipline re-cord. Since their parents do not pay attention and do not control their ac-tivities, they feel free to d what they are without any restriction from any-one. Hence, the problems in a family has make the students stress and en-courage them to bully so that they can release the depression. In a nut shell, the causes of bullies among students are the desire of attention, the influence of the media and the problems in a family. This problem can be prevented if all the parties realize their responsibility and take part to prevent this problem from continuing. Furthermore, all stu-dents must avoid themselves from being involve in this problem and focus on their studies which is their main responsibility as a student.

Homeless people are from many stages of age and teenagers is one of them. Teenage homeless will give out several effects such as sur-vival sex, drug abuse and education. The first consequence of being homeless is survival sex. Because of their age, many of them have few legal means by which they can earn enough money to meet basic needs. As a result, many homeless adolescents find that exchanging sex for food, clothing and shelter is their only chance for survival on the streets. Hence, when they have no house, they have to live on their own and earn enough money to support their life. But, the way they earn money is not a right way and give bad effects. The next consequence of being homeless is drug abuse. Homeless teenager are more likely to use and abuse drug. According to national sur-veys, three quarters of street youth were using marijuana, a third were us-ing hallucinogens and stimulants and a quarter were using crack, other forms of cocaine inhalants and sedatives. Homeless teenagers will easily influence by peers and environment. Since drug is the most popular thing that youth would like to try, so most of homeless teenager will be effects on drug abuse and engage in other dangerous and illegal behaviors.

Ghrelin, which is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, stimulates appetite, while leptin, produced in fat cells, sends a signal to the brain when you are full. So, what’s the connection to sleep? “When you don’t get enough sleep, it drives leptin levels down, which means you don’t get feel as satisfied after you eat. Lack of sleep also causes ghrelin levels to rise, which means your appetite is stimulated, so you want more food, “said experts from Atlanto School of Medicine. Therefore, when the two combined, it can set the stage for overeating, which is turn may lead to weight gain. Secondly, through sleeping, one can stimulate the metabolism rate in body which helps to burn more carbohydrates and make one slimmer. In general, sleeping less may affects changes in a person’s metabolic rate (the number of calories you burn when you are rest). Besides, when you sleep less, you move around less too, and therefore burn up fewer calories. Then, when the calories burn up less, it is mean that you are gaining weight.

If one want to be slim, one need to have enough sleep as sleep can lower your hun-

ger and increase your metabolic rate.
