A lot of peoples are judging others by the way they look. They are disqualifying people before knowing them. Appearances can make us forget the important thing, personality. The qualities of a person are not defined by his or her appearance.

I went through 25 children and asked them to guess three things from a picture: age, nationality, profession and hobbies.

The answers were:Age- 10 kids thought she is 20-25 years old. 2 kids thought she is 16-18 years old. 9 kids thought she is 30-40 years old. 2 kids thought she is 70-80 years old. 2 kids thought she is 90-100 years old.

Nationality- 8 kids thought she is American. One kid thought she is Israeli. 3 kids thought she is French. 13 kids thought she is Sweden.

Profession and hobbies-( here they could chose two things) 19 kids thought she is a dancer. 3 kids thought she is a karate expert. 3 kids thought she is a teacher. 3 kids thought she is an artist. 14 kids thought she is a singer.

Most of the kids were wrong almost every time. The right answers are: her name is Josephine; she is 80 years old, from Aspen, Colorado. Josephine is a teacher and karate expert.

But…..

This teaches us that things are not usually the way they look. The first impression on a person is not always the right impression. Appearance doesn’t show us the character of a person. Unfortunately there are people that are judging others by their appearance.

Fashion is not something that we can write about in general because it is ever changing and today's in will probably be tomorrow's big out. So, instead of writing about fashion in general (which will basically be writing about jeans which is the only thing that seems to never go out of style) we decided to dedicate these pages to the latest trends, so you can keep up to date with this summer's "hot and not!"

Patriotism is in! In the last few seasons, especially in these past two, Army has become a main fashion inspiration and you can see Haki & Olive-green cargoes or T-shirts with prints like "Army Girl" all around you. Also, the latest trend is combining "work cloths" (especially the sort of pants just mentioned) with the elegant and so you can see satin cargoes just about anywhere.

There is also a slightly provocative new trend-- net tank-tops, usually worn on a tight plain string-top but sometimes worn only with a chic brow to cover up the goods.

Ladies and Gentleman, shorts are back and shorter than ever! The sporty look is in and many brands found that just about anything tight and reviling counts as hot even if it's sweatpants, also, for the more lady-like girls around us there is a whole new line of micro-mini skirts usually in plainer colors (though flashy pink skirts can also be seen).

Now-a-days it's enough to dress perky and flashy but rather comfortable and still good looking. Say good by to those high jeans because 60's pants (only cut a few inches lower) are back big time. Baggy pants are the new thing! Along with skater shoes that have taken over the "foot industry" for all those who are not yet addicted to "All star" snickers.

It seems that as the time go by the material covering the belly has been getting shorter and shorter and therefore cute panties (especially low-cut thongs with cute prints on them) have become an essential fashion accessory.

For the boys- summer time means surf is up and even if you don't come near the beach some surf pants and cool sunglasses are things you just can't do without. Of course for guys the fashion doesn't change as much (Because most of them wouldn't care enough to notice the trend and follow it anyway) so baggy jeans (though lower now) a clean T-shirt and a cool pare of boxers still does the trick. Some "higher class" stores now offer more "exotic" wear like white string shirts or open lace shirt but these are only recommended for the more daring of you.

And one last thing essential to make you have an inny summer wardrobe is (what if not) a chic breathing suit! Guys, you stick with the surf, as for girls, you are also invaded by the flowery prints usually seen on surf wear; bikini is the only way to go now, through out that one part suit! You don't have to be too daring though; you can easily wear bathing-suits with a rather long top that doesn't reveal too much and still be very fashionable.

But in the end, following the fashion flow is really not a must but more a matter of choice, you should what you feel good and get out whichever fashion statement you want, in the world of wardrobe you'll never know, you could make the next trend!

Teens have special skincare and cosmetic needs. The following instructions provide general information for Teens in the area of Skincare and Cosmetics.

There are some basics that all teens should follow to help keep skin "normal".

1. You should use a cleanser, rather than soap to wash your face. Soap can overdry the surface of your skin and cause it to feel oily in just a few hours.

2. Wash your face morning and night and follow with toner (that doesn't contain alcohol). You should wash at night to remove the dirt and pollution (and make-up if you wear it) from your skin. During the night, your skin remains active, even while you rest, and you should wash again in the morning to start with a clear face.

3. Use a moisturizer every day (even if you have oily skin--just use one that is oil-free). This helps protect your skin from dirt and air pollution.

4. If you have blemishes and use a blemish cream or lotion, spot treat just the blemish itself (not the surrounding area). Use a Q-tip and spot treat at night. This dries the blemish, not the skin around it. If you overtreat blemishes they tend to look worse than if you do nothing. Don't pick at blemishes and do try to keep your hands off your face.

5. Regular use of a masque that is appropriate for your skin type further helps to balance your skin and keep it "normal". It also helps "tighten" pores. To make this easier, apply the masque and let it dry 5-10 minutes before you shower (the masque is easier to remove in the shower).

6. Regular use of a scrub helps deep clean your skin and makes your complexion look brighter and clearer. If your skin is breaking out, be very careful using a scrub, because the grains can irritate the blemishes and make them worse. The scrub contains grains that do the work. Gently apply the scrub to your damp skin and gently rinse off. The scrub also helps fight blackheads and tighten pores.

The History Of Tattoos

* The word tattoo comes from the Tahitian word tatu meaning 'to mark something'. The art of tattooing itself is surrounded by a great deal of controversy. It is claimed that it dates back to around 12,000 BC.

* Throughout its history, the purpose of tattooing has changed from culture to culture

* Ritual and tradition have been common and constant factors in tattooing. In Borneo, for example, women tattooed a symbol on their arms to represent their specific skills, thus increasing their potential for marriage.

* Tattoos worn around the fingers and wrist were worn to prevent illness. Tribe or society membership have also often been symbolised by tattoos throughout history. It has also been believed that the wearer of an image calls the spirit of that image. For example, the ferocity of a tiger would belong to the person baring this tattoo.

* Although tattooing is controversial, many believe that it was originated in Egypt, from the time of the Pharaohs and the construction of the Great Pyramids. As the Egyptian Empire spread, so did the art of tattooing, and around 2000 BC it reached China.

* In ancient Greece, the tattoo was used to mark spies while the Romans used the tattoo to mark slaves and criminals. In western Asia, the Ainu people used tattoos to mark social status. The Ainu were said to have carried the art to Japan where it became a mark of religion. Dayak warriors who had 'taken a head' were signified by a tattoo on the hand.

* The Polynesians employed tattoos to symbolize status, tribal communities and rank. They carried this art to New Zealand where a facial tattoo, Moko, was developed. The Danes, Saxons and Norse were often tattooed with their family crest.

* In 787, Pope Hadrian banned tattooing, although it was still practiced in Britain until the Norman invasion of 1066. It then vanished from Western culture until the 16th century. During this time of scarcity in the west, tattooing thrived in Japan, where is progressed from a method to mark criminals to an aesthetic form. Around 1700, the Japanese body suit originated, primarily among the middle classes.

During this time of scarcity in the west, tattooing thrived in Japan, where is progressed from a method to mark criminals to an aesthetic form. Around 1700, the Japanese body suit originated, primarily among the middle classes.

* Tattooing was re-introduced to the west by the sailor and explorer William Dampher. In 1691 he brought to London Prince Giolo, a heavily tattooed Polynesian. He was a profitable subject, being used for exhibition, mostly as tattoos had not been seen in Europe for six hundred years.

* In the late 1700s, Captain Cook brought to London another Polynesian, Omai. Due to the success of the art displayed by Omai, tattooing became popular with the upper classes on a small scale.

* In those days, tattooing was a slow and painful procedure, being completely done by hand. Based on Edison's earlier invention, Samuel O'Reily patented the first electric tattoo machine in 1891. This increased the availability of tattooing and made it a much more affordable procedure. Since tattooing was now common, the upper classes turned away from it.

* By the start of the 20th century, tattooing was beginning to be viewed as sleazy. Heavily tattooed people, previously admired, were now appearing in circuses and freak shows, the most famous being Betty Broadbent of Ringling Brothers Circus. Tattooing was forced underground as it became socially unacceptable.

* Chatham Square in New York was the birthplace of the American style tattoo. Samuel O'Riley opened a studio there, later taking on Charlie Wagner as an apprentice. After O'Riley's death, Wagner joined forces with Lew Alberts to begin the supply of equipment. Alberts is known for his design of tattoo flash art. Chatham Square flourished while the art of tattooing declined in popularity across the rest of the country.

* At the beginning of the First World War, images of bravery and wartime icons became the order of the day.

* The start of prohibition and the depression of the 1930s caused Chatham square to lose its appeal, with the focus shifting to Coney Island. Tattoo studios opened in towns with military bases, then the largest source of business. The tattoo focus was then on representing the places the person had traveled.

* The Second World War again caused the popularity of tattooing to decline as they were beginning to be seen as the mark of juvenile delinquents, bikers and the many other entities society attempted to cast out.

* In the 1960s, an outbreak of hepatitis, coupled with media horror stories of blood poisoning and disease, caused by the failure of most studios to properly sterilize equipment, prompted tattooing to fall into further disrepute. The previously booming businesses of Times Square and Coney Island were closed after violations of new health codes. For many years, tattoos were nearly impossible to get, as the procedure was illegal in New York. Moreover, with the reputation now surrounding them, very few people wanted tattoos.

* In the late 1960s, Lyle Tuttle managed to change many of the negative views surrounding the art of tattooing. He tattooed celebrities, mostly female, and became a vocal media advocate for the art form

* Currently, tattooing is more popular than ever and is also more widely accepted as a part of our society. Tattooists are now considered 'fine artists' and receive more respect than in years past. Artists now combine more traditional art with their own flavor to create some truly stunning work. Hygiene is also now a major consideration of any self-respecting tattooist. All in all, the changes that have occurred have today created a safe, artistic form of self-expression.

Questions and answers about getting a tattoo

Are Tattoos Safe? Yes, as long as you go to a decent artist that is following all recommended safety precautions as asking to see a certification about his training and sterilization process, making sure that the artist is wearing gloves and that items like ink or water that have been used on a client will not be returned to an universal container and new sterile needles are used. It is also important to see finished works of the artist.

What should I expect when I go to get my tattoo?

  STEP ONE: PAPERWORK AND PAYMENT  Once you have decided on your tattoo design and your artist, you will be required to show valid identification for proof of age. You may also be asked for your address and phone number, so your artist can contact you in the future if need be. In most studios, payment must be made before services are rendered. It is up to each studio to decide which methods of payment they accept. Whatever method you pay with, make sure they give you a receipt.

STEP TWO: THE CHAIR OF HONOR  After your paperwork is filled out, you will be seated in the tattoo chair. Sometimes this is in an open work area, and sometimes a private room depending on the location of your tattoo. If you are shy and don't want others to watch, you can request a private room, but be sure you have done this in advance. A lot of studios use dentist-style chairs, some use regular table chairs, and some use benches. Your artist will do his or her best to make you comfortable for the tattoo you have chosen .

STEP THREE: THE CLEAN SHAVE  Now it is time for the preparation. The area of your body you have chosen for your tattoo will be cleaned, usually with rubbing alcohol. Then, any hair will be removed from the area by shaving it with a new disposable razor, which will be discarded after being used. It will be cleaned again to make sure it is smooth and ready for the transfer.

Does it hurt?Pain is really relative. I'm not going to kid you - it does hurt, Just not that much. People would not be returning again and again for tattoo after tattoo if it hurt that bad! People often ask questions like "where dose it hurt the most?" Well, there are no rules about that, but based on many opinions: most Painful Areas: Men - Abdomen, Spine, and Chest. Women - Ankle, Spine, Ribcage. Least Painful Areas: Men - Buttocks, Arm and Back; Women - Abdomen, Buttocks, Thigh and Shoulder.

Can I use some kind of numbing cream? These kinds of products are really not recommended.

How much is it going to cost? When it comes to tattoos, you get what you pay for. Yes, there are plenty of people tattooing out there that will ink you cheap, and you'll be crying to a real artist to have it covered up. Look for quality, and be willing to pay for it. NEVER haggle over the price of a tattoo. It is disrespectful to the artist. If you can't pay for quality, don't bother. This is not a bargain bin. It is a piece of art you will wear for life.

What should I get, and where? This is all a matter of personal taste. Your only limit is your own imagination. Just keep in mind what you do for work and the type of social circles you are in. You might want to consider placing your tattoo where it can be easily covered up with normal clothing.

Where can I find pictures of tattoos (skull, teddy bear, lion, etc.)? If you're getting a tattoo, especially as an expression of your individuality, why would you want a tattoo just like someone else's? Instead, find other pictures of what you're looking for and have your artist draw up a custom design for you.

My friend just bought a tattoo kit and wants to practice on me. Should I let them? NO! Your friend could be putting both of your lives in danger by foolishly trying to learn this at home. Tell them they need to get a proper apprenticeship, and they can start practicing on you when their mentor feels they are ready. Back GlossaryBy: Noga Mishniot &
