Change the World: Up in Smoke

Screamxx encourages you not to smoke.

As we grow up and start to stray away from Whyville, we remember the times we had here with our virtual and real friends. We remember the fun we had in chat rooms, playing games, and learning about new things around the town. But there comes a time when you turn off your computer and enter into the real world. Things out there can sometimes be extremely harder than they are here.

Sure, everyone in Whyville wants to fit in to some sort of clique of friends. But here, in our safe little town, the most you can do to fit in is buy that new, popular, face part. But out there, in the real world, there are thousands of other ways that people can pressure you into fitting in. Looking at magazines and seeing stick thin models may cause you to not eat, or seeing a bunch of kids on the corner smoking cigarettes may make you want to try it too, just to fit in with them.

All Eyes on You

Monae929 helps you get over your nerves.

Your palms start to sweat. Your body is trembling, and your heart is beating about a billion beats per second. You're thinking to yourself, "Please don't pick me next, please!" The man behind the podium takes no mercy. You look out at the 100 pair of eyes staring at you.

Did you know that public speaking ranked the number one fear, over the fear of cancer, heights, and even death? Unbelievable. Public speaking is everywhere. In first grade they put you in an ugly flower costume and made you sing a stupid little song about photosynthesis. Then, in sixth grade, you had to do a power point on Pearl Harbor in front of your class. There's no getting around it, so why not suck it up and get it over with? Your audience probably won't remember you or anything you say, anyway.
