Anyways video games are probably the best stress reliever for me even though basketball may be my favorite because it's like you can be in that alternate reality when you play them. You can just be a hero for 30 minutes out of your day and it makes you feel good. Plus indie games like Minecraft are just a laid back open world game where you can explore and relax, play at your own pace. I would and do use all of these In times of stress but if I had to pick one it would be computer games. You can easily blow of some steam in a video game,
In 2002, the Canadian Hockey Association and Palmer Jarvis introduced a campaign designed to create awareness about inappropriate parental behavior at hockey games(Relax, It’s Just a Game 1-4). The campaign is called ‘Relax, it’s just a game’ and has since been a huge success in making parents and fans aware of the dark side of hockey bullying.

Shaun White is in a class of his own sweeping the winter X-Games and Olympics for years on end in first place. There are different varieties of snowboarders from the cautious riders, the intermediate boarders, the all out flyers, and the professionals. It’s not easy to be classified a good snowboarder, few have made their mark and even fewer will be remembered by name. As a diehard snowboarder myself, I will take pleasure in writing this paper and defining each of the four categories listed above. Barreling down a mountain, after perfecting the half-pipe
One problem the internet caused stated in the documentary is, it is very hard for parents and authorities to regulate what kids do on the computer. Since the internet is so easy to access via new technologies, authoritative figures just cannot be present with the kids all the time. Another issue the internet has caused reported by the documentary is by it being so addictive, it has taken time away from studying, school work and activities such as reading. This is a problem because education is almost a must in today’s society. However, the documentary fails to acknowledge how the internet has helped kids by providing ways to find answers and acquire research and knowledge.
The Lapps depended on reindeer for their main income and their life revolved around these animals. Each family owned their own herd of reindeers and understood their way of life. The people of Skolt Lapps accepted the new technology and found it to be extremely helpful and saw that it made everyday chores much easier.

There are always players that sitting next to the net as well just like vultures, waiting for their prey. This leads to an easy offensive development due to the fact that the goalie can just throw the ball to the players in the net and they could score. This makes scooter hockey an overall difficult sport to play. That is why I do not like scooter
This let us know she is not just focusing on one age group. I believe, she writes, this essay because she came across an article about watching television makes you smarter. This allowed her to come up with her own disagreement for Johnson article “Watching TV makes you smarter.” One example of Stevens logical argument is when she writes “Not only does Johnson fail to account for the impact of the sixteen minutes worth of commercials that interrupt any given episode” (Steven 232). I believe she is saying that are brain is still focusing on what is going on during those sixteen minutes of commercials whether its educational or our favorite TV show. We will still be glued to the TV set waiting on what going to happen next.

Today’s Technology and Its Effects on Kids Rebecca Staszak Globe University-GB Today’s Technology and Its Effect on Kids Technology today has taken the active lifestyle away from our young children.

What I like about the competitions is not winning a gold medal because to be honest I probably lost more than I have won. For me it is the experience of being able to compete and all the hard work I put into preparing for the competition that makes it all worthwhile. Winning is just like the icing on a cake. I owe a great deal to figure skating. It has taken me, molded, and shaped me into the person I am today.
