Being a teenager in the 21st century

Being a teenager in the 21st century isn't easy!Although I have many good friends, I sometimes feel that I´m not a child but I can't have the same credits like the older ones I'm in the midle, and for my parents I should behave like an adult and have the same credits of a ten-year-old. Thats what I don't understand! But I also have other problems like what I'm going to do when I end school, I espect a lot from the future , but I now that some teens don't have the same luck, because thay live in ghettos, have drug and alchool problems. And sometimes they are discriminated for not having the same colour or for not believing in the same things. That's why they sometimes start smoking just to belong to a group and end their problems, but sometimes it's when they appear. And when they can't get out of them.

Interviewing a Star


Hello I’m Sofia Miranda and I will interview an alien.
In magazine “ Nightmare” we like to show the dark side of the things, how is our habit we will bring a new and exciting experience to ours readers.
The alien who will be interviewed comes from Jupiter and he is millions years old but we don’t know for sure. Lets start the interview.

Nightmare: what’s your real name?
Alien: My real name is “ Acinorev Rodrigues” because my grandfather comes from earth and I wanted to keep our tradition.

Nightmare: Can you explain how Jupiter is?
Alien: Jupiter? Well, Jupiter is a great planet, you can belive it. Everyone who visits Jupiter loves the trip, the “Jupiterers” are exctremely friendly aliens, who make the tourist feel at home.
Jupiter is a very coloured planet and with a lot of magic, we have great gardens, great monuments to visit, great pieces of art, etc.
I already visited a lot of planets even outside of the solar system and the planet of Jupiter is the best…I know it is my home but it is totally true.

Nightmare: If you have chosen our planet to live, what could it be? Of course, except Jupiter.
Alien: I would like to live in “ Overworld” this planet belongs to the “scrins”, I would like to live there because on this planet there is no night, every time is day and I love this idea. Isn’t it fantastic?
Nightmare: What is your opinion about the inhabitants of Earth?
Alien: I think the inhabitants of Earth are very fun and they have a lot of humour. They are a lot of different from the inhabitants of Jupiter, but in other way I think we have the same point of view about life.
But sometimes I think the inhabitants of Earth are a little stupid because they get involved in wars ones against the others and I don’t understand why, this a loss of time.

Nightmare: What is your favourite place on earth?
Alien: My favourite place on earth is “Pizza Tower” in Italy, but what fascinates more is a little country: Portugal. This country has a great beach, and has good food
.
Nightmare: Thanks for the interviewing and come soon.

Mother's Day!



The Mother's Day has its origin in the beginning of the twentieth century, when a young American, Annie Jarvis, lost her mother and entered into complete depression. Preocupadas with that suffering, some friends had the idea to perpetuate the memory of the mother of Annie with a party. Annie wanted to be extended to honor all mothers, living or dead. Soon, the celebration and consequently the Mother's Day is spread throughout the United States and in 1914, its date has been formalised by President Woodrow Wilson: day May 9. But the mother's day is celebrated on differents dates in various regions.

April 25 |Carnation Revolution|


The Carnation Revolution (Portuguese: Revolução dos Cravos) was an almost bloodless, leftist, military-led coup d'état, started on April 25, 1974, in Lisbon, Portugal, that effectively changed the Portuguese regime from an authoritarian dictatorship to a democracy after two years of a transitional period known as PREC (Processo Revolucionário Em Curso), characterized by social turmoil and power dispute between left and right wing political forces.
Although government forces killed four people before surrendering, the revolution was unusual in that the revolutionaries did not use direct violence to achieve their goals. The population, holding red carnations (cravos in Portuguese), convinced the regime soldiers not to resist. The soldiers readily swapped their bullets for flowers. It was the end of the Estado Novo, the longest authoritarian regime in Western Europe.
