Billericay School – SpeakUp!

How to hate yourself Are you a well rounded, successful individual? Or do you have a skill that makes you special? Maybe you have been told that you are a nice or good person in a serious tone of voice. Or you simply know why people tolerate you. If any of these fit you, then [...]

Indifference to others A general rule for life is that other people are jerks. Other people are unfriendly and are only out for themselves. Sure, you may meet a few people in life who are genuinely nice, and want to help, but generally, other people are not nice, and should be treated with fear. By extension, you too [...]

Nil-nil interest Sports of all kinds are like chess. Fun to play, boring to watch, and I suck at them. From an early age, the world splits you into two distinct groups: those who play football and those who do not. You can spot these groups in the playground easily. The ones who play football [...]

The apathy drug There are 4 things that every school will tell every teenager not to do. Have sex, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs. So what do we do the moment we get to university? Have sex, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes and take drugs. I won’t go into the first of these, simply [...]

Indifference is not in this season I’m not sure if the title conveyed it, but this blog is about my indifference to the world of fashion. People seem to be obsessed with what they are wearing, whether clothes go, what their friends are wearing. It makes no sense to me. Then again, my clothing policy [...]

Why write? At this moment in time, while writing this post, I have 15 posts written and just one submitted. And I think about why I am really writing these. Well, I still remember that lesson where I mentioned the lack of indifference in the news, but I can’t help but remember further back, wanting [...]

God of Apathy I suppose the main reason I lack a belief in God is dinosaurs. When in infants’ school, we would be told stories from the Bible. We had these little bibles in the classrooms, and we were read the kiddie version of Genesis once or twice a year. Never did it reference dinosaurs. [...]

The Reverse Blog I was writing one of these at school, when a friend asked me what I’m not indifferent to. I honestly had to think about my response before simply chuckling to myself. Since then, however, I have thought of what I’m not indifferent or apathetic to, and I will write them down here, [...]

Charity Charity may begin at home, but it usually ends up in a shop. Charity seems odd to me, as there are just so many of them. I did a Google search for registered charity 1, and found that the English have no order to it. However, Scotland’s first charity by number was the stoneyburn [...]

Speeches It always struck me as odd that we are always told that we are future of the world, and that we have the power to change things. Mainly because 20/30/40 years ago, they were probably told the exact same thing by their elders, but then these children grew up, and got mixed up with [...]
