It seems every Harry Potter fan is wondering, "How is the book series going to end?" There are numerous rumors in regards to deaths and endings, however, for sure, nobody would know for certain unless the book has been read.

My first prediction for Deathly Hallows is taken from the title. It's pretty obvious from this guess that someone will die. In order for the series to end, I feel that Harry, our faithful main character throughout these books will perish somehow tragically. How do I feel he will die? Defending his school which had become his home by the end of The Sorcerer's Stone. Harry, who is already known all over as the child who survived an attack that killed his parents and left him with a scar on his forehead will definitely go out being a hero.

Harry will kill Voldemort after finding and destroying the four remaining horcruxes and then he will die. At the ending of Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix, in which Dumbledore explains the prophecy, I don’t think there’s a chance that it could now refer to Neville. With the end of Voldemort, I believe that Harry’s scar will disappear. The scar was the connection to Voldemort, so at the time of Voldemort’s death it will vanish.

My last prediction would be that we will discover that Harry is somewhat related to Godric Gryffindor. This connection would be parallel to Voldemort’s descent from Salazar Slytherin. There have been hints, such as Harry’s use of Godric’s sword in The Chamber of Secrets, and the name, Godric’s Hollow, where Harry’s parents died.

Many concerns are faced by the youth these days. Popular concerns are pressure from their parents concerning their studies. Parents are expecting more of what their child can cope with due to their experiences in the society today. The number of teenagers suffering from depression is also increasing due to what they are experiencing in their lives, and may even lead to suicide.
Youth of today in Singapore are often related to crimes. Examples would be stealing, vandalisms, and cyber crime. At the teenage age, the youth’s hormones would act up, urging them to want to “impress” their opposite sex by committing crimes. Some would be influenced by their bad company into committing crimes. With bad companies, many teenagers would pick up smoking and even trafficking of drugs. Teenage pregnancy is also a big problem nowadays.
There are many way in stopping these things from happening. Some teenagers would go to a nearby park, admiring nature. While others, might want to carry out their hobbies. Spending time with their families would help to borne their relationships with each other and would also help them to know more about each other and at the same time, preventing them from facing problems.

Hello everyone!!! I am very happy today!!! Well actually, I had never been sad once. Finally I am done with my HyperText Markup Language (HTML) codings for the template of this blog and I can finally get down to business. Time really flies... Primary 6 happened in a blink of an eye and now I am secondary one studying in St Joseph's Institution (SJI). Many special moments had happened during the time I spent in SJI and I must say, although its quite a big amount of time, that the whole first term was the most significant moment I had so far in 2007. First things first were the selection of co-curricular activities (CCAs)... There were so many CCAs that SJI offers compared to my old primary school St Michael's School (SMS) (now St Joseph's Institution Junior [SJIJ]) and I actually thought that I would go for a sport but the sports that were vacant did not suit me and the sports that had enough students quite suitable... Therefore, I decided to join a uniform group. After much consideration, I had chosen National Cadet Corps (NCC) Air as my first choice and I got into it! Another moment that was special was common test 1. It was the first ever test I had in SJI and I actually came in top in class, and the funny thing was that I did not really study!! I had top in class in the subjects biology, history, and suprisingly literature. I might sound a little boastful, but please bear with me. Who would not want to share his great achievements with others? I hope that I will not become over- confident and do badly in the next common test. In SJI, I made lots of new friends. Friends of many kind and I must say, I provoked one or two of you with my mouth. I will now take this opportunity to apologize to all whom I had hurt their feelings. SORRY. I also love my class, they really make me laugh and sometimes I get a stomach ache for nothing. Teachers in SJI are also funny and responsible. Food in SJI is delicious. Could things get any better? SJI oh SJI.... How I wished I could have came here earlier and enjoy every bit of you!! OK everyone thats all I have got to say. Hope you all will comment on this post. BYE BYE!
