Yes, there was once when i saw a friend that was once offered a vape in the school toilet, they politely declined saying they weren't interested and changed the subject, mentioning that vaping isn't good for their health which helped shift the conversation in a different direction.

Yes, he should send the message to a teacher or a trusted adult. As the friends should know what is right or wrong.

One thing I had learnt is that you should never vape even if you are feeling stressed. Instead you should talk to a trusted adult like a counsellor.

1] I don't know anyone who had been offered a cigarette or vape but I was offered, I would reject the offer even if they pressured me.

2] He should send the message as warning to his friends because he is right about how you should not vape just to look cool infront of your friends and what are the negative impacts on doing vaping or cigarettes.

3] I have learned that you need to choose your friends wisely as you can never know on what they are capable of doing before it is too late. It is meaningful to me as I do not want to have the same scenario as 'Joe'.

1. I do not know of anyone who was persuaded to try vaping yet. If I knew, he or she would have said, 'NO' to vaping and would have reported this to people that can be trusted.

2. Yes, adlke should send the message as this would stop his friends from using vapes and realise what the consequences are when they take vapes. Like how it will ruin their bond with their families and friends and worse, corrupt their lives which will lead them to the wrong path of life. Instead they should choose the correct path and move on.

1. One takeaway lesson from this is that vape corrupts you and thus, you should never take vapes. It causes destruction to your healthy body and can cause unwanted problems which will make you become somewhat like a 'zombie'. Thus, I end saying to all,

VAPING KILLS!

There was also a hawker center along the way, there were affordable prices from each store and the food was a flavorful punch!

2.After viewing the population of people who rather hang out with friends than family and our strict parenting rules on how far we can travel, I don't think that youngsters like us would enjoy these outings like cycling a far distance or exploring the nature, but I really hope that they will still have these activities for the future generations so they won't they on their devices all the time and actually get to go out

Banning phones in schools can be a smart move, considering the potential benefits. Here's why¹:

- *Reduced distractions*: Phones can be a significant distraction in the classroom, and banning them during instructional time can help students focus on their studies.

- *Improved mental health*: Excessive phone use has been linked to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Limiting phone use in schools can help mitigate these risks.

- *Increased academic performance*: Studies have shown that students who don't use phones during class tend to perform better academically.

- *Enhanced social interactions*: Without phones, students may engage more with their peers, promoting social skills and relationships.

I agree that phone ban would help teenagers

improved focus : eliminating phone access allows for better concentration on learning , potentially boosting academic performance.

Reduced Distractions and Cyberbullying :

Bans minimize disruption's in class and create a safer learning environment

Enhanced Classroom Engagement: With fewer distractions , students may participate more actively in lessons .

Healthier social Development : Less screen time could encourage more face-to-face interaction and social skills development.

2. I would feel sad as i love my phone so much as i count on it everyday, if Regent takes our phone i think that some students would sneak it into school or even steal it back. This would make the students and teachers relationships bad as students wouldn't trust their teachers anymore, and if they take our phone as in if a emergency our family members cant contact us.

one opinion from the article that i agree with is the lines “The majority of kids who have phones don’t love it," he said. However, if you dig deeper with them in the conversation, they will acknowledge that it helps them focus better." people with phones do not love it because they would want to use their phones at times but without having your phone as a distraction, students can focus better.

I would feel sad if i would have to surrender my phone and i would have the urge to just hide it but there is a reason why they would come up with that rule and i will follow the rules.

Yes i would agree on banning phones from school because social media has an impact of destroying some people's life and may also be glued to their phones all day.

Q1: I agree with the opinion in the article that phones can distract students in class. It's really easy to get caught up texting or checking social media instead of paying attention. So I think banning phones could actually help students focus better on learning.

Q2: If Regent Secondary School had a phone ban where we had to give up our phones for the whole day, I'd feel a bit weird at first. I'm used to having my phone, so it would take time to get used to. But honestly, I think it could be a good thing. It might help me concentrate more in lessons and actually talk more with people around me. I'd just want to make sure I can use my phone again once school ends, especially to contact my family.

1.)One thing I agree with is instead of banning phones in schools, we could maybe actually use it for something useful instead of burying our heads in sand. Although the phone upstage can lead to fewer distractions, improved focus and learning in class, having better social interactions, reducing cyberbullying during school hours.

2.) If Regent had a phone ban in school, i would probably feel fine but a bit boring, because i can still talk to my friend or do other things to entertain myself.

1. My opinion from the article is School principal Matthew Mough admitted

that enforcing the ban – and winning over students has proved challenging, though he said most follow the rules.

“The majority of kids who have phones don’t love it,” he said. “However, if you dig deeper with them in the conversation, they will acknowledge that it’s helped them remain focused.” Mr Mough said the phone ban has reduced classroom distractions, cyber bullying, and instances of students meeting up to skip lessons. I agree with this. As when the phone is not with us we would want to do something fun like talking to our friends.

1. If there is phone ban in Regent Secondary School I have to surrender my phone from the start of school until the day ends and I will feel sad, a bit happy. I would feel happy as I would want to see how I overcome when my phone is conficated and sad as we won't be able to text people and play our games

stances of students meeting up to skip lessons. which is true but doesn't mean not having a phone will stop that . if my phone got taken away i would be feeling sad the whole day worrying about my phone and sometimes i might even try to hide it to prevent it from getting taken away which is not good also because its making us sneaky trying to hide things .i think they should instead give us talks about the way to stop cyberbullying and how we cannot just depend on our phone for everything.

1. What opinion from the article do you agree with, and why?
I agree with Ken using his phone to create videos and share real stories. It shows that phones aren’t just distractions — they can be powerful tools for learning, creativity, and connecting with others in meaningful ways.

2. How do you feel if there is a phone ban in Regent Secondary School? Why?
I’d feel a bit frustrated because phones help me stay connected and are useful for schoolwork. But I also understand the rule, since phones can distract students during lessons. A balanced rule might be better than a full-day ban.

the advantage of phone ban is that students can focus more in class or in curriculum time and can switch from screen to probably physical activities. though communicating with the other can improve communication skills

the disadvantage on the other hand is that banning phones could foster resentment or a sense of betrayal? among students, especially if they feel it’s an invasion of their personal space.

It might lead to secretive behavior or attempts to smuggle phones into school, which could further undermine the relationship between students and teachers. though it also lacks emergency communication

One opinion I agree with is what Ms Rodrigues said about teaching kids how to use technology responsibly instead of just banning it. I think this makes a lot of sense because phones and social media are a big part of our lives now, and banning them doesn't teach students how to use them wisely. If we don’t learn how to manage screen time, avoid online dangers, or handle social media pressure, we might struggle even more in the future when there are no rules or limits. It's better to prepare students for the real world instead of just locking phones away.

2. i would feel sad i will not have surrender my phone and i will hide it

1. The point which i agree to is the point where they said that social media come alongside due to anxiety and depression as some social media platforms can be ban from being used by the public.

2. If regent had a phone ban from the start of the day to finish, I would feel sad and annoyed as I would not be able to call or massage my parents whenever i have finish school or what time do i go home on certain days and also I would not be able to update them.
