I just watched an old episode four corners. It was about a girl who went back to Afghanistan she had moved from there when she was six years old to England. She had the cameras follow her and meet many different girls who had lives that are nothing like hers. There were girls who were at risked of being bombed from going to school. I wake up in the morning groaning as I don't want to go to school. That" I can't be bothered". They put their own lives at risk to be educated and people like me just take it for granted. Whenever I hear of see something about other countries that aren't like Australia or aren't as fortunate as Australia it upsets me. I would want to help; I would want to be less selfish; But than a few days later I forget and more on in my selfish little life were I complain that I can't afford another pair of high heel or another dress for my already over flowing wardrobe!
The reason I watched the episode in the first place is because my English talked about the episode and my Father just happened to have taped it. We are studying 'Whose Reality'. The lives of these girls shown on the episode must have such different realities to mine. I can not imagine living anywhere else. I would go crazy without the internet; my mobile phone and Facebook. Imagine children living in third world countries their lives are so different to mine. It makes me grateful that I live here in Australia and that I have the Parents that I have.
