Something called "peer-group"

Hi everybody! Here I´m again. This time I would like to explain how my peer-group is. But firstly, what do I understand as a peer-group? Obviously, my friends, whom I spend my free time with. This group was borned six years ago, more os less, but we knew each other from school. One of our main habits is meting all together on fridays evening/night and make different plans, such as going to a bar to take a coke or going to the disco. It´s something we try to respect every week, because it´s the perfect way to keep in contact. Actually, we prefer going to a bar, in order to share what we have done during the week and how we feel. We are all girls, and that affects a lot, because we really love to gossip and our conversations are full of laughts and funny comments.

On the other hand, it´s really annoying when some of us doesn´t come to our appointment. At least, if she has informed about it, we will try to understand. The problem cames when somebody doesn´t let us know that she can´t came. We take offence and, on the following week, we ask her why she didn´t appear. We are used to that situation, so we look after to this point constantly.

In relation with boyfriends (a very interesting point), we do have a "norm". The relationship and the possible future conflicts belong only to that person. I mean, for example, if one of my friends split up with a boy, who is, at the same time, a friend of mine (not of the same peer-group), we try to get used to the situation and I have no problems with keep being friend of that boy. Well, that sounds quite good, but, in fact, it´s not exactly like that. In some occasion, we have a terrible row because of a breakdonwn. One of us split up with her three-years boyfriend, and other two continue making plans with him. Althougt we were supposed to respect our norm, we didn´t understood the situation and we all get very ungry with those two. We didn´t even notice them our plans or birthday´s parties. However, as long as we have grow up and change our mentality, we have learnt to be sympathetic.   

In terms of status, there are also differences. That´s a reality in every group. The question is which are those factors the status depends on. In this specific case, I think they depend on the attitude we have and the participation we take in the activities we planned. So there exist "the funny girl", "the sensitive girl", "the character girl", etc. But, obviously, they aren´t all considered the same. It´s quite better to be "the funny girl", participate every time we meet and having brilliant ideas. If you achieve all these different skills, your popularity is insured. Furthermore, if you are not an active member and you are always discussing what to do, you´re not only going to be interviewed, but also criticized. To be realistic, we all want to be in the highest position...

In an anecdotal way, I´m going to share with you a very original idea we had a few years ago which make us feel more friends than ever before. We started going with a group of boys, all very atractive and interesting, of course. And we were so thrilled about it that we created a " private club", where each of us had different things to do. There were a president, a president´s secretary, advisers and active members. In addition, we elaborated "the statutes of the club" and identify cards for everyone. It was an incredible experience, because we have so much fun that I can´t find word to express it.

To sum up, I would like to say that I really love my friends and I enjoy a lot spending my free time with them. We are a very funny group, as I explained before, and that´s what I need. The status, norms, etc. are inevitable characteristics but not harder enough to make us feel uncomfortable.

A little of fun is enough...

A tour around the Earth

Oh! You´re not going to believe what I have to tell you! You can´t imagine how strange life is in the Earth!!!!! I´ve been travelling around this planet during the last two months and I´ve discovered really curious things! Let me tell you some of them so that you can understand what I say.

We realized that in the Earth, the oldest people try to teach the youngest, in terms of scientific knowledge as much as values and rules. This was the point we focused on in our trip, because we watched very interesting aspects. I made lots of photographs so I´m going to show you some!

Look at this picture!! All the children are sitted down while the adult is talking or explained something. I couldn´t understand what he said, obviously. But I´m sure it was interesting, because the students were paying attention without talking between each other and in complete silence. That is unbelievable here! We don´t even know what listen to others mean!

Another surprising aspect we observed was that in some places, all the children were wearing the same clothes. They looked like if they were dressed up for a special occasion or event. It was a bit contradictoy. On one hand, they seem to be equal, without differences between themselves. But on the other hand, it made it difficult to know who they are. Even the teachers have problems in some classes to remind the names of the students.

Actually, you know that it´s really difficult in our planet, to distinguish between the ages of our inhabitants, and we spend the time all together. Well, in Earth, things are completely different. The classes cossisted of one adult, who is the teacher, and a lot of children or pupils of the same age. I´ve never seen little childs with teenagers, for example. And what they learned has also a huge difference.

 If you were thinking that all these aspects were strange enough, you must listen (or read) what I have to tell you now. Clothes and ages are not the only elements taht take part in the classes. There are people of different color skin all together in the same space!!!!!!!! Can you imagine being with "the reds" and "the purples"  or sharing our food with them????? Just impossible!!!

The last incredible aspect we observed was that the students acted as if they had already been taught the rules they have to follow. As we can see in this picture, one child with long hair raise her hand to talk to the teacher, so they can´t talk when they want to, just when the adult allow them to do. That´s the way to achieve the silence, I think! They also use a green big rectangular thing where they can write in. It´s also one of the main tools the teachers used to explain their classes. I think it´s quite useful, because everybody can see what there is writen on it.

In conclusion, although humans are very very very strange, they have achieved good results in their organization and development. They give a lot of importance to the children´s education, so they can build a peaceful future. This shows that rules are important sometimes and that making difference between ourselves doesn´t have any sense.

A little of comprehension is enough...

Welcome!!!!

Hi everyone! Here is my blog! It´s not the first one I make, but the first individual experience on it. In my opinion, having a blog is a good way to express ourselves and to feel like our ideas and thoughts have the importance they deserve. So let´s try the experience!

I would like to explain the tittle I´ve chosen for my blog: A little´s enough. To be honest, it has been one of my sister´s brilliant ideas. It´s the tittle of one of her favourite songs. So we worked together to find the meaning I would like to give to this blog. It is relationed with being modest and grateful in our lives performances. To look at things from a different point of view, just in a simple way, in order to understand what we have. To know that having a little of attitude, optimism and joy we are already prepared to make not only great things but also succesfull ones. We have the tools enough!!!

I hope you will enjoy this blog/experience!!!
