You shouldn't blame yourself for acne, the gap between your teeth, freckles on your face or your shoulders or any other features that make you special. Can you catch the thought? Not worse. Special. I was so inspired by beautiful women who appreciate their shapes which are not really perceived by our society. Let's talk about the body. You shouldn't think about how much you weigh.

My name is Marianna and I am 19 years old. I live in Kyiv, Ukraine. We all know how important it is for young people to stay safe and savvy online. With the rise in 'fake news’, experts have warned us to check sources carefully, pay attention to manipulative headlines and think twice about the stories we share with friends. Like me, you have probably heard these tips many times. But I didn’t truly become media literate until I took the time to develop critical thinking. Media literacy affects the way we look at and perceive the world. For me, it started at school, when I was constantly writing...

Tricks to learn a foreign language easier
Lots of people now travel or work with colleagues from foreign countries and for better communication, it is important to know their language. I'm learning four languages currently and have four tricks for you to study them easier. 1. Learn the basics of grammar The basics of grammar are different in each language.
