Samantha Brick Strikes Again

Today, the jouranlist Samantha Brick has revealed taht she regularly checks her husbands phone, emails and voicemails. In her account the reason for this is to make sure that her husband isn't receiving any unwanted female attention.

You would think that her husband must be a ladies man for Samantha to even think like this, however, he is the complete opposite. Personally, I haven't met him myself but from how Samantha has described him he is a typical man that works hard to provide for his family and has no time for modern technology as he doesn't have the slightest clue on how to use the devices.

Samantha says that she trusts her husband completely, but she is fearful of other women and their intentions towards her husband. However, surely Samantha is contradicting herself here, how can she claim to trust her husband 100% but still snoop through his personal things? To me, it doesn't make sense because the way I see it is this- marriage is about trust and commitment. Where two people who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together are able to trust each other.

One man that Samantha mentions as to why she checks her husbands phone is because of the scandal between Vernon Kay and his series of sext messages with a model he met in a night club. This being something that happened two years ago is still being dragged up now and I am sure that Vernon and Tess have moved on and began to rebuild that trust.

For Sam, she says how it all begins witha simple chat on a social networking site- a 'poke' on FaceBook or Retweet on Twitter to begin an affair. This could be the case for some people, but that doesn't go to say that people on social networking sites are the cause of affairs. I disgaree with the way that Samantha has placed the blame on women. It takes two to tango. So while a woman may be doing all the flirting, it doesn't take a lot for a man to resist temptation and discredit the remarks that she is making.

I have nothing against Samantha Brick as I am not one to judge her but I just think that she needs to produce stronger articles that people can read and relate to.

GCSE To O-Levels

There has been speculation in the media about the education system changing and how the standard GCSE'S are changing into O-levels as they have become easy for students to pass and they think that O-Levels would be a better way to challenge and stimulate students minds. Personally, I think that changing GCSE'S to O-Levls is a ridicule thing to do, being a teenager myself I know how hard it was going through the stress leading up to my final GCSE exams.

Schools are great in preparing students for their exams as they know how important they are however with O-Levels they are much harder to achieve than GCSE'S. Some students already find the whole dynamics of GCSE'S tough, so why would anyone want to put young students under more strain of passing these life changing exams? It just doesn't make any sense to how this is going to help young students in achieveing the best results possible.

What with the economic defall it's hard enough finding a job that pays a reasonable amount, now with the hardship of O-Levels where does the leave future generations in finding a job? Children should not be defined by letters on a piece of paper, they should be given the chance to prove themselves and how people what they are made of. Society is too fixated on classes and trends that if one is unique they are seen as 'weird' or a 'freak' because they stand out from the crowd. I believe that if someone has a dream, then grades shouldn't stand in the way of that they should chase what they believe in.
