If someone has passed out and is breathing but not responding to you, would you know what to do? In young people, this is often due to alcohol poisoning. Once you have the person in the recovery position, ring 000 for an ambulance. Positive Choices has a fact sheet with illustrations or you can watch this short video.

Twelve year old Darci Lynne was recently crowned the winner of America's Got Talent. She asked for a puppet for her tenth birthday as she thought it would help her overcome her shyness.  Darci has since become passionate about ventriloquism and is keen to keep the art alive. The moral of the story? Don't let your limitations stop you from trying - you might just win a million dollars!

These bracelets are easy to make and don't cost much either. You can find out how to make them at http://happyhourprojects.com.

It was reported in our local paper recently that a 19 year old male is facing child sex charges over  offences that occurred several years ago. He met a 14 year old girl online, persuaded her to send him sexually explicit photos of herself, then used them to blackmail her. He told her that he would release the photos unless she met him. She finally agreed to meet him and he sexually abused her. Your teachers and parents aren't paranoid freaks (at least not all the time). This does happen sometimes. There are several lessons we can learn from this unfortunate situation:

1. It's safest not to send explicit photos of yourself to anyone, especially people you have never met;
2. You do not know who you're talking to online - it could be a 50 year old creep;
3. It's not safe to meet up with someone you've met online, especially if you go alone.

Healthy eating is so important if you want to perform at your best - whether it is physical sport or mental gymnastics you are involved in. Nutrition Australia has a healthy eating plan for teenagers. They also have a PDF with the menu and other dietary information for students who are about to sit their final exams. You can find it here.

I love these cute earrings. You can find our how to make them at www.happinessishomemade.net. In Australia Perler beads are sold as Hama beads and are available at Spotlight. E6000 is a super adhesive craft glue available at Spotlight and craft stores. Be careful not to glue yourself together or burn yourself if you try this project at home. Check with Mum before you use the oven.

You would have to have been living under a rock (that is, isolated from all media and social media) to  not have heard Sam Kerr's name in recent weeks. For those of you who don't know who she is, Sam is a 24 year old women's soccer player from Perth. Here is a list of some of her achievements:

• Captain of the Perth Glory Soccer Club Women's League

Sam was just a regular girl who dared to dream. Despite her success, Sam remains humble - what a legend!
