When Malala was ten years old a religious group of people who believe in Strict Scripture in a religion known as the Taliban. The Taliban started to take over some parts of pakistan and they stopped the people watching television and music and women could not leave their houses simply means that those things were outlawed. In 2008 the Taliban banned girls from going to school in Swat Valley and Banned teachers from teaching girls. But Malala’s father Ziauddin and many other school principal refused.

Malala’s father suggested Malala. Malala started her own online diary for the BBC in January 2009 to avoid getting targeted Malala used a fake name for the blog. Malala’s parents were very proud of her bravery and confidence but they were also worried. Malala’s father was a very well known campaigner for human rights and female education. And sure enough he did receive death threats. Later that year the Pakistan army had driven the Triban out of mingora.

While reaching about these information we have found out a lot of interesting facts. All of us worked collaboratively gathering these information. Making this DLO was a lot of fun and we have learnt a lot of things.

Did you know that each continent has its own ocean like Asia, Africa, Australia, Europe, North america.

Why its important to have a positive relationship

Why are positive relationships important?

A positive relationship is when we have a really good relationship with someone. Having a positive relationship is very important because it helps us in many ways, as we have someone that we can share our feelings with, talk to during hard times and have someone who can show us empathy when we need it. We have someone that we can take advice from and also have someone that is very close to us or someone we can count on, during emergencies. It is important to note that it is called a positive “relationship” meaning it is about give and take. As a person we should also empathise with the people around us and give back to them the trust and support they offer us.

We can have positive relationships with other people by actively listening to the conversations that they are having. We should open our hearts and find courage to trust. This will make it easier to share our problems with another trustworthy person. We should also learn to be understanding and more empathetic. Sometimes we have to really get in a person's shoes to understand what they are going through.

I have a positive relationship with my parents. I can trust them and they encourage me during hard times, times when I feel very upset or if I am having trouble with something. My parents are always there for me and support me in every way they can. I am open with my parents and am able to tell them them everything without the fear of being judged. They are able to tell me when I do something wrong which helps me improve in many ways. I try to understand my parents feelings and shortcomings. I understand my parents are not able to give me everything I want and when I want it and the say that it shows a lot of maturity. My parents and I think of our little family as a team, where everyone plays a part and everyone is important.

Therefore it is important to have positive relationship with the people around you. Friendship is a two way system, you give others what they give you in honesty, support, trust and laughter.
