September 6th, four school governors and one teacher searched hundreds of teenage students one by one for personal phones without any advance notice.

Students were requested to stand at the classroom corners while the search took place. Governors and teacher took away phones, chargers and phone cables once they found in students school bags, draws.

Students bodies were also searched apart from underwear. One student Lee hided the phone in his underwear and saved the phone.

The teacher read the chatting history in the smart phone and found his student was chatting with another opposite sex student on the inappropriate ‘romantic love’ topics.

The search involves both male and female students who were to have either high school entries exams (15-year-old) or college entries exams (18-year-old).

Story ideas:
1. No punishment for personal search even to teenagers. no law, no regulation.

2. Likewise supermarket theft suspicion body search; but students own their personal phone; school took them all

3. School think smart phone would disturb students study; students surf online in class

4. Teachers believe some internet content is harmful for youngsters

5. Some parents believe it is ok to search the body as students should not have phones in class. Only study is permitted in classroom. They are happy that school took actions to help students study

6. Students felt insulted during and after the search

7. School does have regulations phones are only used to contact parents; not permitted to chat, play games and must be switched off in class.

8. Teacher checked the chatting history in the phone

Something you did not know

It has been a long time that I stopped reading and writing. The ability is dusted in the back of my head but never disappeared.

Since you might read, I just want to take the opportunity to say Thank you for reminding me of who I was and why I am here.We all have stories to tell: the pains of growth and the joy of the same growth.

I started to love the younger age of myself when I actually know what I want. Simply an icecream or a visit to the zoo. Now I am lost all the time. I thought I want a designer clothes. But I did not realise whether it is the real 'I' wants it or it is the world tells me that I want it.

I always desire to make sure I know the reason of existing. And the best way is to keep thinking. Sadly lots of things have diluted the ability of consciously thinking. With a little knowledge in the media, I would attribute it to the advertisements, TV programs. Believe it or not, the media controls the world- sounds quite familiar! The matrix or the machine that we created controls us! One starts to desire things he does not need; then he has to work in the fields he finds it difficult to build the affection. But the world tells him he has to sacrifice. Then the unpleased mood must be compensated by the stronger desire at the beginning. He wants a larger house, a more beautiful wife, a posh yacht. But those are all illusions. It is the media who tells this lies and one believes the lies. If one asks him to score the happiness, no statistics could prove that he would be happier.

I am not superior to anyone. I just want to steer away something that I don't like and I know I, probably, could not resist. The more I desire, the more unhappiness hits me. I know for sure the extra pressure is well hidden beneath the glamour.

I chose to turn away and back to the world that I could handle. A world in which I need nothing more than books, friends and food
