Message Board - Bullies

I think that family participation is necessary in day-to-day of the school. This problem star at home when parents close their eyes to wrong actions of them children.



Maybe, schools and communities should do two thing: First, they should punished the teen bullies. Second, schools should develop programs with sports and cultural activities. To reduce the time bullies to think in

My City

My born city is Salvador, state Bahia, Brazil. And there, is a cultural centre of Brazil, where you can see and learn a lot about music, dance, theatre, etc. Bahia has big influency African people, because arrived there between three and five century ago thosaund and thosaund black people that were working as slave. Today Bahia is region the world that have more black people out of Africa. The African influency is present in food, art and culture in general.
You can know the Capoeira, that's a martial art created in Bahia at the time of slavery. This martial art mix fight and dance. The slaves created this to defend themselves of attack owners of the farm sugar cane and a form of entertainment in the quilombos. Quilombos was places where the slaves fugitives met, for survive in group. It was as black city in the age of slavery.

Reviem - Series TV - Two and Half Men

This show has become my favorite comedy on tv today. I remember thinking this show was going to get cancelled when it first came out, but to my surprise it did very well.
So after the first season I decided to give it a chance and instantly fell in love. I had to track down friends that had the first season on their TIVOs in order to catch up.
Perhaps the show is so great because Charlie Sheen is so believable as the womanizer that he plays on the show. There is also a certain 'sweetness' about the show. You can tell that Charlie really loves his family and that they are making things work.
The show deals with a lot of issues. Divorce, surrogate families, brotherly bonds, crazy mothers (lol), sex, and dating. I hope the show continues its success and we get at least another 3 seasons!
