With charity help falling over the past few years, are people now less generous to help out their local charity?

Some would suggest that Europes struggling economy combined with other issues have contributed to a fall in charity proceeds.

Governments have tried to find ways of encouraging the good old spirit, however, with issues of their own, not much has become of it.

Fortunately TV based charity events such as Children in Need still boast record collections which is helping out those less fortunate massively.

With a range of natural disasters of recent, including typhoons and earthquakes, people need your help as much as possible.

Please help out as much as you can!

With a lot of text messaging problems circulating the media at the moment, is it time to start properly educating the parents and kids a like on the dangers of inappropriate picture text messages?

As Mobile phones physically store the messages and records of them pass through the mobile phone companies there’s always a risk of a phone going missing and getting teenagers between the ages 14-16 in trouble.

There have been a few campaigns on the matter and some schooling boards have tried to educate students on the matter.

As technology gets more advanced and more popular, these cases are only going to become more frequent.
