Laughs For Hope Funny Fundraising- by Jackson Knox

Laughs4Hope
I struggled in traditional school on account of my poor mental health. I have something called a mood
disorder, which means I have signs of depression and anxiety, but not enough for a proper diagnosis.
On top of that, I wasn’t good at math, or art, or science. I was only good at one thing: making people
laugh. I remember getting in trouble four or five times a day because I was entertaining my friends. But
it felt good to make people happy. That’s why when I came to Blue Sky School, I wanted to do a stand-up
comedy show. Of course, I had no idea how, but it was my dream.
I wanted to help people. I wanted to make their night better by doing what I loved. So, I teamed up with
learners Grace and Madison to make Laughs4Hope.
Laughs4Hope is a performance based fundraiser for charity. This year, we’re fundraising for the Youth
Services Bureau, an organization that provides counselling to youth in need. I picked the YSB because
they’ve helped my entire family with mental health issues. They’re amazing people.
So come and support Blue Sky School and the Youth Services Bureau at Laughs4Hope!

Thought and Emotions are like Snowballs by Bella

Thoughts and emotions are like snowballs; if you don’t stop them from rolling down a hill, they get bigger. If you’re upset, but you don’t find the cause or solution, and leave it lingering instead, then it will keep getting bigger and bigger until it smacks you in the face, hard. However, if you stop the snowball, you can stop the negative emotion or thought. But snowballs aren’t all bad. Sometimes they can be good, like when you’re with a really good friend, and you tell an inside joke and you both start laughing. You’re bouncing off of each other’s energy and happiness, and you can’t stop laughing. That’s also the snowball effect.   It might be hard at first, but one way to control your thoughts and emotions is by trying to become more self-aware of them. To really try to identify why you’re feeling a certain way, and really be in the mindset of ‘Okay, so I’m feeling this way, why am I feeling like this?’ Once you’ve answered that, you can move on to asking yourself ‘What...

How It Feels to Be the “Bad Kid” By Michael

In grade 2, I started getting in trouble all the time because I didn’t really like school. I thought there were more fun things to do, so I did them. I got in trouble for that. The teacher was making the kids do normal school stuff like writing, math, French and reading. I would talk when I wasn’t supposed to or just play around at my desk instead of working. When someone would find me doing those things, they would send me to the hall. I would play hockey with a pencil and paper ball. That was better than being in the classroom. I would always stay outside longer than I was supposed at recess to and hide in my locker instead of going to class. Then, either my teacher or another teacher would see me. They would assume that I was just misbehaving. Really, I didn’t want to go into the class and do my work. I didn’t think I could do a good job at it. I felt bad about myself. They would say, “Go to the office.” I told myself I didn’t really care. Everyone started thinking I was ...
