Q: Ok so basically...good news!...i have moved up to top set in english!!!(english as in literacy not the language) and for those of you that dont know what sets are. In my school ther are different subjects and for those subjects there are 4 different classes (called sets) and in each one there are about 20-30 people from the same year group. Set 4 is for people who may have a disability or find the subject very difficult. Set 3 is for people who have slightly lower grades than average. Set 2 is just average/normal. And set 1 is the highest set for people who get highest grades in that subject. I am in set 2 for all subjects except religious studies and now english :) i am in set one for both of them. And i really want to stay in top set for english. We have gotten a piece of home learning for english which is to write a diary entry or a newspaper article about the 20th century (its because we have started studying the play "pigmalion") i would be very grateful if someone explained how to get higher grades in writring a diary entry and possibly a newspaper article as well. Thank you.

I mean if you\'re choosing between the two you should pick the one you feel most comfortable. For a writer or someone who is good at stepping in someone else\'s shoes, task a would be more ideal. But if you\'re more of a facts and research person I would go with Task B. If you do end up doing Task A pretty much when you do write it place yourself in that time how you would feel about the things that were going on. And how\'d they effect you. Just imagine it as your life.

Hi, thanks for coming to my column.

The name is Diamond but Dia is fine.

20, female, jersey girl at heart. mixed race taurus natured woman.

So...the reason I made this was during the start of my senior year of high school I had reached a point in my life where I didn't want to live anymore. I was tired of fighting and didn't see the reasons to fight. It was a random stranger that made me realize I would be stupid to take my life and to stop fighting.

So if you think I'm going to tell you life gets easier, I'm not. Let's face it, it doesn't get easier. Through pain you get stronger and learn to open your eyes to those things that give you strength to live.

Mine happen to be music, writing, dr. pepper, anime, the color black, the way rain sounds, and an amazing boyfriend. What gives you strength to live?
