@amiablePeace77

Giving electronic devices a break would be my subject to teach.

Why? Because so many of us have our heads down and we are not observing our surroundings. Our phones have become a major distraction. Let's go back to basics sometimes.

@WorkingitThrough2

You made a good point! When I see people walking around, many of them have their heads down to read their phone screen instead of enjoying the scenery.

slowdecline48 1 day ago

@WorkingitThrough2 +1. IMHO cell phones should have a mandatory age "floor" below which no child should have one, or if (s)he must have one then it should be a phone with restricted Net access. I have no idea how such a law would be enforced, however.

@amiablePeace77 If you were to teach a class to teens, what would the topic be and why?

I would teach poetry because expressing oneself i n words is so important to being human.

A school class? Math. I used to tutor it. Grade 10 especially was a curriculum I would enjoy teaching. 

More fun, I used to teach a bit of dance, I haven't been involved in the scene for a long time though.

@AffyAvo

Math is a very important subject that deals with many things in life! Dance sounds definitively like fun. May I ask what kind of dance?

@amiablePeace77 I've done a few different styles, swing was the one where I was involved with teaching.

Awesome! I could imagine teaching dance is not easy since people have different dance skills.

@amiablePeace77

If you were to teach a class to teens, what would the topic be and why?

Well first off it wouldn’t be just one class. It’d be multiple classes. Idk how many it’d take for me to teach them everything I believe they need to know and everything I wish we were taught when we were teens going to school. 

As for what the topics would be:

1. Life - everything about life covering finances and how to take care of it like how and why you should save your money, when to start working, how not to fall behind on your credit and why it’s not good to, how to balance your life in the most healthiest way, and everything else about life

2. Same thing as life except in this class it’ll be all about health.

3. Stress, depression, frustration, anxiety, fear, all emotions and how to cope with them all 

4. Sleep - how to sleep if you’re stressed or depressed or anything else that’s keeping you from sleeping or causing you to wake up in the middle of the night 

4. How to deal with not being accepted by others without doing extreme things which I don’t think I need to specify any of those things as I believe anyone reading this already knows what those extreme things are

And everything else that helps teens live a healthy happy responsible life and helps them to self care and stay away from alcohol, smoking, and drugs.

@akunknown

Those are great and very helpful topics to learn about for life. Staying away from alcohol, smoking, and drugs helps to live a healthier and happier life!

Respect, manners and dignity! And proper grammar. None of this slang and abbreviation crap. It’s classless and uneducated!

NoJudgingNoAdvising October 25th

Topic:

don't run after something that is not appropriate

Do not runaway from the reality

Reasons:

1. Don't run after something that is not appropriate: especially in the teens we waste our valuable time running after something that will eat your life. Hobbies, amusement and breaks are good but investing majority of the time to them will make life empty. We always want to look good or gain something that is beyond our intellectual and financial condition. Being rich and good looking is not wrong but always trying to compete with someone else you loose your ground. You can compete in a running race with eachother but can't compete in life with eachother. Your competition in life is with you. Be certain about your goals your life your dependents

2. Don't run away from the reality

If you loose job or some tragedy happen face it

Don't runaway by taking alcohol smoking etc to divert the mind. As a human you will be facing problems every single second. If you were to use cigarette and alcohol for every time you are low, you are gone.

Everyone has problems m problems won't end. You have to maintain resistance.

May God bless you all

Well put! Taking responsibility for yourself, knowing what you truly want and face challenges 👍

Real world finances. Balancing bank account(s), mortgage, % rates when buying, things you need to save for in life.

I wish my school would’ve had these classes when I was growing up. I’m figuring things out as best I can. My parents always have been there to help me along the way, but figuring things out alone can be scary. Any childhood preparation for real life after high school would be immensely beneficial!

I hear you! I also had to learn all these things on my own later on in life. Would have been nice to have some basic knowledge about it.

Importance of self love and self care

@Creamyyy

Self love and self care are very important and would benefit the later adult as well as society (less crime, less illnesses).

@amiablePeace77 The topic I would teach to teens is: Understanding yourself and body as you grow. I think that a lot of teens feel very lost during that age frame and need to understand that their going through changes and its okay!

@amiablePeace77

If you were to teach a class to teens, what would the topic be and why?

Research the life of your favourite artist/song/athlete/hero/cause.

Why? To understand yourself better.

I know. It's a philosophical reply.
