Some doctors think that you should drink a glass of water each morning You should drink this water first

thing, before doing anything else The temperature of the water should be similar to body temperature; neither too hot nor too cold

Why should you drink this water? Water helps your body in many ways It helps clean out your kidneys It

prepares your stomach for digestion Water can also help your intestines work better After drinking water, the intestines can more easily take out nutrients from our food Water also helps us go to the bathroom more easily Scientists suggest that people take in 1,600 milliliters of water each day But don’t drink all of that water in one

sitting If you do, your kidneys will have to work much harder to eliminate it It’s better to drink some in the

morning and some in the afternoon Some people think it’s better to drink between meals and not during meals They think water dilutes the juices produced in our stomachs This can interfere with normal digestion

Are you drinking enough water every day? Check the color of your urine If it is light yellow, you are

more water each day could make you much healthier

Educating children at home as an alternative to formal education is an option chosen by families in

many parts of the world The homeschooling movement is popular in the United States, where close to one

million Children are educated at home In Canada, 1 percent of school-age children are homeschooled, and

the idea also enjoys growing popularity in Australia, where 20,000 families homeschool their children The

movement is not limited to these countries Homeschooling families can be found all over the world, from

Japan to Taiwan to Argentina to South Africa

Homeschooling is not a novel idea In fact, the idea of sending children to spend most of their day

away from home at a formal school is a relatively new custom In the United States, for example, it was not

until the latter part of the nineteenth century that state governments began making school attendance

compulsory Before that, the concept of a formal education was not so widespread Children learned the

skills they would need for adult life at home from tutors or their parents, through formal instruction or by

working side by side with the adults of the family

In the modern developed world, where the vast majority of children attend school, families choose

homeschooling for a variety of reasons For people who live in remote areas, such as the Australian outback

or the Alaskan Wilderness, homeschooling may be their only option Children who have exceptional talents

in the arts or other areas may be homeschooled so that they have more time to devote to their special

interests Much of the homeschooling movement is made up of families who, for various reasons, are

dissatisfied with the schools available to them They may have a differing educational philosophy, they may

be concerned about the safety of the school environment, or they may feel that the local schools cannot

adequately address their children's educational needs Although most families continue to choose a

traditional classroom education for their children, homeschooling as an alternative educational option is

becoming more popular

new friend online Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of those digital friends ever meet in person

While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent of their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends

on a daily basis (outside of school hallways) These new forms of communication are key in maintaining friendships day-to-day — 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23 percent connect through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily Text messaging remains the main form of communication — almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen method of communication with their closest friend

While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends (and maintaining friendships) in the gaming world-89 percent play with friends they know, and 54 percent play with online-only friends Whether they're close with their teammates or not, online gamers say that

playing makes them feel "more connected" to friends they know, or gamers they've never met
