Why does this woman think she is ugly?

Alanah has 20 years old and thinks she's ugly, which it isn't truth. She suffers from Body Dysmorphic Disorder a condition that causes people to become obsessed with perceived defects in their appearance. One in 50 people suffers from BDD, but many of us and even some doctors don't know the existence of this disorder.
"I thought it was cruel for other people to have to see my face, that it really is disgusting," says Alanah.

At the age of 14 the symptoms began to appear and she started to check repeatedly her appearance in the mirror and her make-up routine could last four hours, and even after this she often felt too anxious to leave her house, for example she started to be absent to school. Finally, her condition was identified at the Maudsley Clinic in south London and began to go at therapy sessions. 

Alanah courageously decided to confront her condition participating in No Body's Perfect, on BBC Four and let a photographer make photos to her for help other people to recognise the disorder as soon as posible. The photos of Alanah taken by the BBC are now hanging in her family home.

Alanah's recovery is going well, she'is now at university studying psychology and hopes to go on to research of BDD for a PhD. 

I think all the people have to love and accept themselves because we cannot change what we are and that is why we must have a very high self-esteem. I think that this disorder comes from the society's research of perfection, young people are becoming more obsessed with having always a prefect hair, the best make-up, the latest fashion clothes and the prettiest shoes.

MY FAVOURITE FILM

My favourite film is called Titanic and has taken has taken twelve Oscars
It's a love story which takes place on a giant ship called "Titanic". A girl, called Rose, travels to America with her husband and mother. Jack, another boy at the same age with her, wins a ticket while he's playing cards. He and his Italian friend Fabrizio win it together, so they pack their things and get onto the ship. 
When Jack and Rose meet, they fall in love. They started a relationship secretly, because Rose is married and Jack is poor. But, unfortunately, the ship sinks. 
They try to save themselves climbing on some furniture, but the water is very cold and Jack can't stand it. He dies and Rose gets on the lifeboat, which comes a little later. 
At the end, Rose dies at a very old age and gets on her own heavenly at Titanic, being young with Jack.
It's very touching, especially at the end.

"Naomi Watts And Liev Schreiber Split After 11 Years Together''


Another week, another Hollywood split.
The couple Naomi and Liev who have two children together, confirmed they had decided to go their separate ways on Monday (26 Sept), just days after Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt announced they were to divorce.
They have been together for 11 years.
In a joint statement, they said: “Over the past few months we’ve come to the conclusion that the best way forward for us as a family is to separate as a couple."
And they added: “While we appreciate your curiosity and support, we ask the press to be mindful of our children and respect their right to privacy.”
They never married but have two sons together, Samuel and Alexander.
Earlier this month they were seen putting on an affectionate display at the Toronto International Film Festival when they walked hand-in-hand on the red carpet.
And just last week Naomi shared a snap of her husband and son, Alexander, on Instagram before they headed to the Emmys together.

I think that everyone has the right to do with their life and couple what they think is appropriate. They, Naomi and Liev, decided that separate is the best thing for both and has to be respected for the fans and the press. Sometimes the gossip press can be meddler and that can cause problems to the celebrities, after all, in this case, there are children in the middle.

PRESENTATION



Hello, my name is Fatine Ikane and I'm 16 years. I was born in Tetuan, a small town in Morocco in August 10. I live in a house in Castelló Nou with my parents and my two sisters, Douaa my old sister and Malak, my young sister. I studied primary school in Joana d'Empuries and there I practiced Rhythmic Gymnastics for three years. My hobbies are hanging out with my friends, listen ing to music and reading. I don't have a favourite food, but I really like fruit, pizza and lemon cakes. I hate beans and meatloaf. My dream is to visit every country in the world and know new cultures and traditions. I also love animals. I don't do any sport because I'm quite lazy.

I'm studying first in scientific high school, and I would like to go to college, but I'm not sure what degree to choose yet. 

Finally, in the future, I want to go live in Tetuan, my hometown, because there is almost all my family and I love the atmosphere and the people.

EXPERIENCES

-I have already been to Morocco. Morocco is the country where I was born. I go almost every year during the summer. I like very much going because, besides that my family lives there, I love the atmosphere that there is.


-I have already jumped a cliff. This summer, we went  with my family and cousins to an amazing rocky beach. On that beach, my father and my aunts were jumping from a cliff when they were young, so I decided to do it and it was incredible.

-I have already ridden on a horse. In sixth grade we went to Vall de Núria with school, where we did several activities, including horseback riding. It was a very amazing experience, and I will repeat it in the future.


-I haven't been diving. One of my dreams is diving in a paradisiacal beach to see the colorful coral reefs and reef fish.

-I haven't been to Thailand. It is a country that has always attract my attention, for their islands, nature, temples, cities and mountains.

-I haven't gone parachuting. Because it is an unforgettable experience and feel a real adrenaline flight

Requiem is the third and final book of the Delirium Trilogy.
The novel is told from two perspectives; Lena Haloway's in the Wilds and Hana Tate's in Portland.
After rescuing Julian from a death sentence, Lena and her friends fled to the Wilds. But the Wilds are no longer a safe haven—pockets of rebellion have opened throughout the country, and the government cannot deny the existence of Invalids. Regulators now infiltrate the borderlands to stamp out the rebels, and as Lena navigates the increasingly dangerous terrain, her best friend, Hana, lives a safe, loveless life in Portland as the fiancé of the young mayor.

MARIETA ISLANDS

The Hidden Beach of Marieta Islands was formed by military testing and volcanic activity; photo courtesy of Vallarta AdventuresThey are a small group of uninhabited islands a few miles off the North coast of the Banderas Bay, with two main volcanic islands dating from around 60,000 years ago, one called Isla Redonda (Round Island) and the other Isla Larga (Long Island).
These islands are a real natural treasure. In the early 1900s the military used the sight for weapons testing until scientist Jacques Cousteau advocated for its protection—now, fishing, hunting, or even stepping foot in the area is prohibited by the government.
You could get into the crater by either jumping off the ledge on top and into the sea below or swimming through a short tunnel carved by the sea from the ocean side and into the crater, where you'll be able to land on this incredible beach.
