cry eyes reasons works facts

  • 1. Tears help us see. Starting with the most basic function of tears, they enable us to see. Literally. Tears not only lubricate our eyeballs and eyelids, they also prevent dehydration of our various mucous membranes. No lubrication, no eyesight. Writes Bergman: “Without tears, life would be drastically different for humans–in the short run enormously uncomfortable, and in the long run eyesight would be blocked out altogether.”
  • 2. Tears kill bacteria. No need for Clorox wipes. We’ve got tears! Our own antibacterial and antiviral agent working for us, fighting off all the germs we pick up on community computers, shopping carts, public sinks, and all those places the nasty little guys make their homes and procreate. Tears contain lysozyme, a fluid that the germ-a-phobic dreams about in her sleep, because it can kill 90 to 95 percent of all bacteria in just five to 10 minutes! Which translates, I’m guessing, to three months’ worth of colds and stomach viruses.
  • 3. Tears remove toxins. Biochemist William Frey, who has been researching tears for as long as I’ve been searching for sanity, found in one
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • study that emotional tears–those formed in distress or grief–contained more toxic byproducts than tears of irritation (think onion peeling). Are tears toxic then? No! They actually remove toxins from our body that build up courtesy of stress. They are like a natural therapy or massage session, but they cost a lot less!
  • 4. Crying can elevate mood. Do you know what your manganese level is? No, neither do I. But chances are that you will feel better if it’s lower because overexposure to manganese can cause bad stuff: anxiety, nervousness, irritability, fatigue, aggression, emotional disturbance and the rest of the feelings that live inside my happy head rent-free. The act of crying can lower a person’s manganese level. And just like with the toxins I mentioned in my last point, emotional tears contain 24 percent higher albumin protein concentration–responsible for transporting many small molecules (which has to be a good thing, right?)–than irritation tears.
  • 5. Crying lowers stress. Tears really are like perspiration in that exercising and crying both relieve stress. For real. In his article, Bergman explains that tears remove some of the chemicals built up in the body from stress, like the endorphin leucine-enkaphalin and prolactin, the hormone I overproduce because of my pituitary tumor that affects my mood and stress tolerance. The opposite is true too. Bergman writes, “Suppressing tears increases stress levels, and contributes to diseases aggravated by stress, such as high blood pressure, heart problems, and peptic ulcers.
  • 6. Tears build community. In her “Science Digest” article, writer Ashley Montagu argued that crying not only contributes to good health, but it also builds community. I know what you’re thinking: “Well, yeah, but not the right kind of community. I mean, I might ask the woman bawling her eyes out behind me in church what’s wrong or if I can help her, but I’m certainly not going to invite her to dinner.” I beg to differ. As a prolific crier, especially on video, I always come away astounded by the comments … the resounding support of people I know all that well, and the level of intimacy exchanged among them. Read for yourselves some of the comments on both my self-esteem video and my recent death and dying video and you’ll appreciate my point. Tears help communication and foster community.
  • 7. Tears release feelings. Even if you haven’t just been through something traumatic or are severely depressed, the average Jo goes through his day accumulating conflicts and resentments. Sometimes they gather inside the limbic system of the brain and in certain corners of the heart. Crying is cathartic. It lets the devils out. Before they wreak all kind of havoc with the nervous and cardiovascular systems. Writes John Bradshaw in his bestseller “Home Coming”: “All these feelings need to be felt. We need to stomp and storm; to sob and cry; to perspire and tremble.” Amen, Brother Bradford!

  • An adaptation is a way an animal's body helps it survive, or live, in its environment. Camels have learned to adapt (or change) so that they can survive.

  • If you experience engine trouble, you take your car to a mechanic. If your pipes leak, you call a plumber. And if you fracture a leg, the usual course of action is to visit a doctor. But unlike other things that may break in life, bones begin healing on their own before you even set foot in a waiting room.The human body possesses amazing healing powers that enable it to bounce back from a vast array of illnesses and injuries. Sometimes broken bones can heal so thoroughly within a few months that even an x-ray can't determine the original fracture line.Doctors often play a vital, sometimes lifesaving, role in a bone's healing process. But, these experts basically help the body heal itself. Doctors provide optimal conditions for bone repair and healing to take place. The rest is up to your cells.But how does this amazing biological process work? How can a fractured limb grow back to its former strength? To understand, you first have to take a closer look at just what bones are made of and how alive they really are.

  • Animals live only where they can survive. Koalas, for example, eat only the leaves of certain eucalyptus trees, so they must live in Australia, where these trees grow.

      A animal may only live were he is used to and where he knows how to survive its like if a polar bear suddenly appeared in the desert, he wouldn't survive because he is not used to the environment and doesn't know what to eat.

      Animals only live were they are really adapted to because there is were they already know how to live and they know which animals to get away from and what to eat.

  • you cannot derive a polar bear of its cold climate because they are animals who have adapted to their surroundings. Their fur is a significant trait that enables them to survive the winter climate, & if they are placed in a desert for example, they will die from the heat & the inability to adapt to the weather.

      Animals have their own way to be because it will help them survive where they live, for example, a scorpion wont be born with lots of fur, because he lives in the desert, were there's lots of heat.

      morales5853 on 05 Nov 14
       
      A animal is born the way he can survive in its habitat, because if a animal that lives in the north pole has only skin and not fur he may probably die because of the coldnes the day he is born

  • I looked through the NO side. While I was doing so, I saw many errors. Most of the NO side complain that they have sports to do first, did it not occur to you that studies come first? If you fail school, the coach will (most likely) not let you play in that tournament/ game/ meet. As for the grammar errors on the NO side, I believe that many could use some Language Arts homework.

      People don'y do homework cause their lazy and say they have a lot of homework has it ever come to mind that studies com first than sports.
  • Students should have homework because it prepares them for high school and college. If we don't prepare them in middle school and elementary school they will be more overloaded in high school and college because they didn't expect it. Long Live Homework! Plus, if we don't have homework, kids will go home and forget everything they learned.

Why Do People Get Bullied - 0 views

Bullying

shared by Regina Cantu on 03 Mar 15 - No Cached
  • One of the most common reasons for bullying is image. Anyone who looks the least bit different from what is considered to be normal will likely face bullying at some point in his life. Kids with freckles, acne, moles, buck teeth and other physical differences will be targeted by bullies.
  • Kids who go out of their way to sit in the front of the class, answer the teacher’s questions and do well on exams are also convenient targets because they are considered to be “nerds”.
  • Kids who don’t have the same style of clothing as their peers are often the targets of bullies.
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • Students from families that can’t afford to buy the latest fashions (or even high quality clothes) might endure bullying.
  • Those are are picked on for their lack of trendy clothing will often come home in tears and ask mom and dad, “Why do people get bullied?”.
  • This is a big reason why many parents choose to enroll their kids in private schools that have a strictly enforced dress code.
  • The private school’s required uniform makes life much easier for students from families without the economic means to purchase the latest fashions.
  • . It is usually the kids from wealthier families and neighborhoods that gang up on the kids from poor backgrounds.
  • Kids from wealthy families sometimes look down upon those from lesser means. The media socializes young people to act this way. Having money and possessions is considered to be “cool”.
  • Bullies pick on kids with disabilities because they are considered to be weak and inferior.
  • This is one of the more brutal forms of bullying because children with disabilities are often completely defenseless against aggressors.
  • Even kids with learning disabilities are targeted by bullies for being different.
  • If their fellow students see them getting extra time to complete exams or getting more attention from the teacher, they’ll be viewed as different and be targeted.
  • “four eyes”
  • “geeks”.

      Homework can help because if you don't understand something you can ask the teacher and she may help you with home work you don't understand.
  • it will also allow parents to get more involved in their child's educational life.
    • deleon6878
      deleon6878 on 03 Dec 14
       
      Homework can get families closer because the students ask for help and their parents or brothers/sisters can help them 
  • Thirdly, doing homework will prepare students for the big end tests. If a child does poorly on an assignment then they will learn what is necessary to do well on the next test without being punished. It also provides students with the opportunity to practice at what it takes to be successful in school. Like they say, practice makes perfect.

      Doing homework will get kids ready for their final test and if they do bad they can study harder and get better grades in the next test
