How to Deal With Social Anxiety at School
Social Anxiety
Social anxiety is a form of anxiety where a person is extremely shy, nervous, or self-conscious about themselves when in social situations. People with social anxiety worry about how they are perceived by others, being judged by others, making mistakes in social situations, and performing in front of others (e.g., answering questions). There is often a general feeling of insecurity about being around others.
Social Anxiety at School
Social anxiety can be very detrimental to a student at school. It interferes with a child's ability to make friends with peers and to take part in the process of learning.
One form of social anxiety often seen at school in younger students is selective mutism. Selectively mute students are capable of speaking and often speak at home and in front of family members; however, they refuse to talk to others in social situations because they have feelings of insecurity, are afraid of speaking in front of others, and are afraid being criticized.
Students with social anxiety do not participate in class. This includes refusal to raise a hand to answer questions, not responding when called upon to answer questions, and being afraid to ask a question when help is needed. Lack of participation negatively impacts academic performance, as teachers have more difficulty monitoring understanding and progress.
Socially anxious students isolate themselves from others by sitting alone at lunch, not playing with other students at recess, and not participating in extracurricular activities such as clubs and sports. These students are often on the fringes of larger groups, wanting to join in, but too full of fear and uncertainty to take that risk. This self isolation results in missed opportunities for students to learn and fine tune their social skills. By not participating with peer activities these students miss opportunities to learn conflict resolution, problem-solving, negotiation, and sportsmanship skills.
When students have a lot of anxiety about being in social situations they may avoid coming to school. These students may feign illness or they may actually have physical symptoms such as feeling nauseous, dizzy, light headed, or shaky, and they interpret them as being physically sick rather than being manifestations of their anxiety. Younger students may throw tantrums or act out in order to avoid going to school as they may not have the language skills or wherewithal to identify, interpret, and explain their emotions. Older students may skip school, leave school after getting there, or drop out.
Treatment in School
Students with social anxiety tend to avoid social interactions and situations that cause them to feel uncomfortable. However, avoiding these types of situations only allows the fear to grow and become stronger. These students need to learn how to control their irrational fears so that they can become comfortable when around others.
Treatment at school typically involves some form of cognitive-behavioral therapy. Students need to gradually increase their level of comfortableness around others. They may need to start by having positive interactions with one person in the school and then slowly increase the amount of people and the demands. As they become more comfortable, they are able to gain control over their emotional and confidence in themselves. This process is gradual and may take quite awhile; however it is well worth the effort.
David Pino school psychologist has worked in education for the last 20 years. He has significant experience and expertise with learning disabilities, psychological evaluations, behavior, and special education.
Overcoming Fear After Having Traumatic Experiences
Traumatic experiences provoke alterations in your psychological system, and cause behavioral abnormalities. After having many traumatic experiences in life you have no courage to go on, you are always afraid of everything, and you cannot feel safe even after having more than many guarantees that you are really safe.
Even if you don't suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, after having traumatic experiences that negatively marked your life you tend to be paralyzed by fear in many situations. You are unable to trust your own judgment after losing your self-confidence.
Overcoming fear after having traumatic experiences is very difficult. Depending on the type of experiences you had and depending on your personality and life biography, these traumatic experiences can negatively affect your life and your behavior forever.
Today you can overcome all fears thanks to the discoveries of the psychiatrist and psychologist Carl Jung, and thanks to my discoveries based on his method of dream interpretation.
Your dreams are produced by the unconscious mind, which has a divine origin and proves God's existence into practice. Today science can explain religious mysteries, and religion can teach us the real meaning of scientific truths.
The unconscious mind will help you read people's minds, predict the future, and change your destiny based on your attitude. You will learn how to overcome every fear with wisdom.
You will be able to meet people you can trust, and also help everyone around you follow the same process of psychotherapy and mind empowerment you will follow through dream therapy, which also works like spiritual purification because it helps you become a better person.
You will feel safe with people who will follow dream therapy like you because you'll know that they are following the divine guidance and understanding the importance of wisdom and goodness.
When someone starts follows dream therapy, this person understands that there is nothing positive on violence and selfishness. Everyone passes through a deep process of transformation, learning how to eliminate their wild tendencies and attain a higher level of knowledge.
This comprehension lasts for life. After acquiring consciousness of what is negative and after understanding the importance of goodness, nobody forgets this lesson. You will be surrounded by people who will understand these truths because your friends will desire to follow dream therapy like you.
This is very common. Whenever someone understands the real importance of dreams and how helpful they are, somebody else near them pays attention to their progress and cares about following dream therapy too. You will be with people who will follow your example.
On the other hand, after understanding the functioning of the human brain and the human behavior, you'll never believe in illusions. You'll remember that all human beings have inherited an absurd and evil anti-conscience, which is our primitive conscience.
The anti-conscience didn't evolve like our human conscience. Whenever it manages to invade our conscience, we listen to its absurd thoughts. You will eliminate your anti-conscience through consciousness, but you'll know that other people are influenced or always controlled by their anti-conscience.
You will never look at human beings the way you did before knowing what exists into the human brain. You'll know what defines the human behavior. You'll understand many things only by observing other people's reactions. After having this vision, you won't fall into traps that ignorant people cannot see.
Therefore, you will overcome your fears based on the knowledge you'll have. This means that you will know who is dangerous and why they are dangerous for you.
You will realize that you must be afraid of many people and many situations in life. The more you'll learn about the human nature and the negative influence of the anti-conscience, more afraid you will be of most people.
However, this fear won't provoke paralysis, but work as a protection. You must be afraid when you are facing dangerous situations. Your fear protects you from making mistakes due to negligence and distraction.
After transforming your personality and eliminating the traumas of the past, your fears won't be based on ignorance, but based on knowledge. They will protectively advise you that you are in danger. At the same time, you'll know that you are safe because you'll know how to behave in all situations, and you'll always avoid what is bad.
The process of consciousness carried on by the divine unconscious mind in dreams opens your mind for a new dimension. You can see everything that is hidden behind the camouflage of hypocrisy and indifference. You can also understand that there are better levels of knowledge.
You know that spiritual perfection is salvation because it helps you solve all problems based on goodness. You attain another conscious level, far from the miserable limitations of the animal life.
You stop thinking like ignorant human beings. You understand the real beauty of art, religion, and philosophy. You know that only what is perfect is complete. You are not afraid of any challenge. You always know that you will surely triumph.
The satisfaction you'll feel with your behavior and with the superior personality you'll have after following dream therapy will give you a tremendous advantage that most people don't have. Most people make many mistakes and regret having done what they did numerous times.
You'll never make mistakes. You'll always act with wisdom.
This advantage will help you always feel safe and self-confident. You won't be afraid to show your real face to the world. You'll never need to wear a mask. You'll be glad because you are superior and so different from the ignorant world.
You'll never be ashamed of yourself. You'll always be proud of your actions.
Of course, you won't be vain. You will be sorry for the world and desire to save everyone from suffering.
You will also find the right person for you. This is a gift. Most people never find their perfect match because they never transform their personality. In order to be able to find your perfect match you must stop being controlled by your anti-conscience. You will have the capacity to discover the right person for you because you'll eliminate your wild side.
Dream therapy helps you find your perfect match or improve your current relationship. Your partner will follow the same process of consciousness, and you will have a perfect relationship.
The unconscious mind always helps all dreamers discover their perfect match, even if they follow dream therapy because they are mentally ill, because they want to get rid of their anger, or for any other reason not related to the intention to have a relationship. This happens because love is the most important matter of our lives.
On the other hand, love and craziness are closely connected. The unconscious mind always cares about helping everyone find the right person for them so that they may preserve their sanity.
This means that you will have the support of a person you can really trust. Your perfect match will always be a loyal partner and love you for life.
The unconscious mind helps you find completion. Completion is total satisfaction in life; satisfaction with yourself and with the life you lead.
Since you will be with the ideal person for you and you will be glad with yourself, you will be in a privileged position. This fact will give you permanent good mood. You will begin a new life, totally different from the life you had before.
Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung's research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

The Meaning of Always
Creation is about circles and cycles and recycles so why should we think of it in terms of a beginning and an end. Does God have a beginning? That is one of those complexities that puzzle us repeatedly. How long is time, how wide is the universe, and how deep is the ocean and what happens to us after death. The questions continue and the answers are as vague as the mind.
If nature is about circles and cycles then why do humans think in straight lines and in an orderly, managed fashion? Nature is not tidy or orderly such as when we look at a natural forest or a wild garden. It is, in fact, higgledy piggledy with lots of different species chucked in together, all dependent on each other. But when man plants a forest it is all in straight lines and devoid of anything that might add to the atmosphere. So why doesn't man think in the same way as nature? This is a puzzle that comes to mind when one looks at time.
Does it have a beginning and an end?
If it does then when was the beginning? Or is that too big a puzzle for the brain to work out? Is it the same as the term 'always'. That implies something that has no beginning or end and yet we use it in a light-hearted way to infer the length of time something has existed. But few things in the modern world have been around for always. Some tress perhaps measure a few thousand years, maybe even some rocks that might have formed billions of years ago. But they had a beginning and will supposedly have an end?
What of the world? When did it begin and will it have an end? Or will it just change and hang around in space for always. A recent documentary on the Grand Canyon posits that the ground from which it was formed came about some billions of years ago. The deposited sediments from the river meandering through it formed into the hard sedentary rocks that now form its outline and that weathered and eroded into the beautiful landscape of today.
But man's creations are not for always. Most of them hardly last a lifetime and even then they are subject to falling down or collapsing. So man is not a creator of worth but the Great Creator of the Universe has made something that not a single mind can comprehend. Man tries and then he fails to imitate what appears to him a simple thing. But he is wrong.
From the basic building blocks of life, that is the gene, the DNA and the cell, a continuous chain of progress has sent it forward throughout an evolving time frame. Nature has used them to create all of the life forms and more. It has created a planet of ultimate beauty and perfection and man in his stupidity is quickly destroying it.
So does time have a beginning or an end? Not likely but man has certainly brought it upon himself to change that scenario. He will want the world to end because the destruction, pollution, climate change and overpopulation plus other stupidity he engages in is definitely the key to bringing it about.
This type of philosophical puzzle led to a Monkey Brains quest to see what others think. It fits together with Complxity of Thinking which is another challenge.

Important Facts About Neon Gas
Neon was first discovered in 1898 by two British chemists Morris W. Travers and Sir William Ramsay. Neon gas is an odorless, colorless and tasteless inert gas. It belongs to the Group VIIIA elements, known as noble gases. The chemical has an atomic number of 10. It is denoted with the symbol Ne. The boiling point of the chemical is -246.08 °C and melting point is -248.59 °C.
Neon gas is the second lightest inert gas, after helium gas. The chemical is not hazardous at normal conditions. It is very stable and relatively non-reactive. It shows extremely low reaction rates. It reacts with fluorine and water. The chemical can be hazardous, if it is allowed to reach high concentrations. At high concentrations the chemical turns into an asphyxiant. It can displace oxygen in the lungs, which can cause suffocation and eventually death.
After hydrogen, helium, oxygen and carbon, neon gas is the fifth most abundant element in the universe. The gas is very rare on Earth. A large amount of neon is produced during volcanic eruptions. Further, large quantities of neon are trapped in Earth's atmosphere and crust. The gas is extracted from the atmosphere through the process of fractional distillation. The chemical is expensive because it is relatively rare.
Neon gas produces a reddish-orange glow in a discharge tube under a low pressure on the passage of electric current. The reddish-orange glow gets converted into a bright blue color on addition of mercury in trace quantities. This property of neon is utilized in fluorescent lamps, neon glow lamps, gaseous conduction lamps, gas lasers, plasma studies, high-voltage testers, neon signs and various other lighting systems. The special type of lighting produced by neon gas is known as gas discharge lighting.
Let us now understand the working of a neon lighting system. Inert gases, such as neon, krypton or argon are kept inside a glass tube at low pressure. Metal electrodes are kept at both the ends of the glass tube. A high voltage is applied to the electrodes to ignite the neon gas. The electrons get activated on ignition. This causes the neon atoms to emit reddish-orange light.
Neon signs are widely used for advertising purposes. The market today offers neon signs in a variety of colors and styles. These advertising signs are widely used in bars, restaurants, pubs, shops and taverns. Further, neon lights have the capability of penetrating fog. These lighting systems are widely used in the regions with extremely cold climatic conditions. These lights are also used in airplanes, aircraft beacons, cars, trucks, military vehicles, amusement places, theme parks and arcades. Ne also serves as a coolant. It is used as a cryogenic refrigerant in the liquefied state.
Emma Heuton is a writer who writes on several topics. Mostly she writes on SME, Business, products and manufacturing units. To provide useful insights, she prefers to study comprehensively. You can also find information on Neon Gas in this article but if looking for more information on it, you may visit http://www.hellotrade.com.

Yearbooks And Memories
Most of the memories that you have of being young are likely tied in pretty tightly with school. For most people education is a constant that unites all of our early memories together. The days that surrounded your learning were likely the days that as you get older you wish you could return to. Yearbooks can help you relive the past, in a way, and refresh your brain of what it was like to be a kid.
A yearbook is a book that is the physical representation of a particular year that you had in a school or institute. Almost all elementary, middle, and high schools offer the students the chance to purchase a yearbook along with many colleges and trade schools. A yearbook is typically put together by the students and for the students.
Looking into an old yearbook can be like looking through a window into the past. On its pages you will find everything exactly the same as the last time you looked at it, and that can be extremely comforting to realize. Yearbooks can help us and the people around us glimpse back into the person we used to be, not just in the physical sense, but memories will be remembered that show us how we used to react to situations. One of the more fun aspects of yearbooks are the pictures that are immortalized in its pages. The pictures can remind us a lot of what the style was like when we were going to school.
Memories of being young are likely to fade over time and a yearbook is a great tool to help you remember all the things that were forgotten. Things that happened so long ago are likely to have slipped our minds over the years and without yearbooks those great memories could remain lost forever. Trying to remember who your girlfriend or boyfriend in 8th grade was or the name of your best friend from the 3rd grade was can be difficult if you have nothing to help spark your remembrance. A yearbook can hold all those people and times within its pages to always remind you of what things were like when you were younger. The part of the yearbook that is sure to have you yearning to go back in time are the sections in the front and back that were filled up with fellow classmates signatures and comments. These words that were left for us so long ago can help us remember who our friends and acquaintances were.
When you start to feel nostalgic and begin to yearn for the days when you were young and did not have to deal with adulthood stresses it can be extremely rewarding to pull those old yearbooks off the shelf and get lost in its pages.

Yearbooks can help us and the people around us glimpse back into the person we used to be, not just in the physical sense, but memories will be remembered that show us how we used to react to situations. One of the more fun aspects of yearbooks are the pictures that are immortalized in its pages. The pictures can remind us a lot of what the style was like when we were going to school.
Memories of being young are likely to fade over time and a yearbook is a great tool to help you remember all the things that were forgotten. Things that happened so long ago are likely to have slipped our minds over the years and without yearbooks those great memories could remain lost forever. Trying to remember who your girlfriend or boyfriend in 8th grade was or the name of your best friend from the 3rd grade was can be difficult if you have nothing to help spark your remembrance. A yearbook can hold all those people and times within its pages to always remind you of what things were like when you were younger. The part of the yearbook that is sure to have you yearning to go back in time are the sections in the front and back that were filled up with fellow classmates signatures and comments. These words that were left for us so long ago can help us remember who our friends and acquaintances were.
When you start to feel nostalgic and begin to yearn for the days when you were young and did not have to deal with adulthood stresses it can be extremely rewarding to pull those old yearbooks off the shelf and get lost in its pages.
Can We Track Media Brainwashing On An Individual Basis - A New Concept and Strategy
One thing which bothers me is how easily people meld their personal opinions on current events based on the media and news sources they consume. Now then, I have a somewhat difficult question to ask you, I'm going to make you think today.
We all know that mass media has a tendency to brainwash our population. Just as corporate marketing and branding are able to persuade people to change their life plan, drive a certain car, wear certain clothes, and covet certain things. Political propaganda is quite similar to all of this, so is perhaps indoctrination from the church. Yes, I haven't told you anything you don't already know.
Nevertheless, since we live in the information age, and the age of big data, I now wonder if it is possible if we can track media brainwashing not just on the whole of humanity or the population of our society, but on an actual individual bases. Can we watch it all in real time, perhaps through social media posts, blogs, tweets, and other online correspondence the natural evolution of trends in our society and the dynamics of their changing opinion, again, on an individual basis?
There is a very decent research paper worthy of mention titled; "Extracting Opinions, Opinion Holders, and Topics Expressed in Online News Media Text," by Soo-Min Kim and Eduard Hovy from the USC Information Sciences Institute, date: July 29, 2006.
What if we did this, what if we track the number of news articles which were pro or con on any given issue, and then what if we surveyed the people before-hand, and then afterwards? And what if we broke it down by individual, and slowly watched how their opinion had changed over time. Perhaps it might be an issue about race, religion, sexual preference and orientation, or even one about personal savings, economics, or political leadership.
I bet what we'd find is that not only does the society as a whole track very closely to the mass media brainwashing propaganda, but that we can also understand how people change their opinion based on what they view online, see in the media, and how their friends are affected by the same. In fact, I'm so sure of this because I spent a good deal of time talking to people at coffee shops, asking them which news program they watched the night before, and their exact opinions on any given topic, only to find that their opinions matched whatever they saw the night the prior.
Perhaps in the end after doing such research we might figure out that the mass media is so powerful and so strong that we need to rein it in a bit. Or rather, share all the data we collect with each and every individual in our society, and teach how propaganda is melding the minds of their friends and themselves as they go about their lives. Should we warn them about the reality, and prove it to them with empirical data?
Some might say that that information would be scary, that it would challenge everything we know, think, and do to the point that people wouldn't feel as if they still had self-destiny. Yes, I'm aware of that, but maybe that's my point, they don't know, and the individual should, because in the end the individual is all that is important, and we are not strong as a nation until each and every individual is thinking. And with that I hope you will please consider it all and think on it.
