Effects on Relationships Among Adolescents
Chyril Lou T. Caiña February 6, 2013
BSAC-I-ACA 9:21AM Area Exposure I interviewed a woman whose age is 43, single, from Isla Puntod Balulang. She survived the Sendong tragedy with the help of God as well as other people around her. She has many relatives as well as cousins who survived the sending tragedy and luckily no one died in her family when the tragedy occurred. The basic information she gave was that because of the hanging bridge many of her cousins as well as herself survived the occurring tragedy while her clothes as well as the others were already wet and dirty. The tragedy started at about 9:00 in the evening she said when water levels were increasing up to the calves and were at a safety zone at 2:00 AM and there she and the group of survivors were taken to Xavier heights for immediate recovery as well as shelter. Her life before the tragedy was easier she said as well as the way she will cope up in order to forget the tragedy is to work hard and start a new life with the blessings God gave her as well as the help that was given to her as well. She also said that if it had not been for the dog that was scratching her face she would’ve been dead because she was asleep sadly the dog died in the tragedy that saved her.
Now that I have heard her story as well as understood what she experienced I now have the insight that the cause of grief and sadness is not because of God but the way we act according to our ways as people living right now because we people take for granted what God has given as such as nature and the living things living in and with nature. We people corrupt because of greed and other vices and sins and because of this some suffer and if not all of us. While it is unbecoming for us to be more and more undisciplined because

    This bus was caravanning with other vehicles and was transporting forty-three teenagers who had spent the week at one of the regions thirty camps serving twenty-three thousand children each summer (Odintz, M., 2010). Although two-thirds of these teenagers were ultimately rescued by helicopter from the cypress tree branches they clung to amidst the rising currents of this raging river, ten of those teenagers lost their life that summer day when an enormous wall of water descended at a low water crossing bridge and pushed the bus one hundred an fifty yards downstream. No one was prepared or saw it coming as this wall of water rolling with “debris, fence posts, snags, limbs and whole trees, tumbled past” (Thompkins, S. 2007, para.9), capturing and destroying most everything in its tumultuous path. In spite of the human chain made by staff and students who fought the river’s powerful current intent on making it to shore, they were of no equal force to its intensity. The somber death toll was horrific and the exhausting retrieval efforts proved to be futile as the body of one of these campers was never recovered. Locals in the area are forced to relive the tragedy periodically, when news reporters, intent on…

    Sometimes we think that our plans must lead down a better road, or that God must not love us enough to protect us from this pain we feel, but God actually uses the painful experiences to further develop our character. Vivian Thomas could have given up when it became too discouraging, but instead he persevered and became an inspiration to many people. During times that are hard, God teaches us more about life, ourselves, and most importantly, about Him. Sometimes it is even necessary to go through a difficult time before we are able to realize the ways in which we need to grow and…

    Adult relationships are not just influenced by biological or inherited factors. Upbringing, socialisation and childhood also play an important part in later adult relationships. Attachment is the emotional tie between two people that is shown in their behaviours. Attachment theory, put forward by Bowlby, argues that childhood relationships are prototypes for ones adult relationships. There is some evidence for this claim, but it is not wholly supported.…

    “When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways-either by losing hope and falling into self destructive habits or by using the challenge to find our inner strengths”- Dali Lama. I have witnessed and encountered many tragedies in my life and are going share the trials and tribulations that I have endured and how life has made me a stronger individual today. The point of this story is not to upset those who have witness tragedies as well or frustrate those who are going through something but to show that anyone can come out stronger through tragedies they’ve witnessed, instead of faltering into a distressful state of mind.…

    Grief in a Religious Context

    • 3821 Words
    • 16 Pages

    The U.S. National Library of Medicine describes Grief as a reaction to a major loss, and not as a state of major depression as many might assume. Most Psychology textbooks suggest that the experience of grief is usually unhappiness and pain, but it is not limited to these. Interestingly, current research indicates that bereavement involves much more than pain and sadness. The purpose of this paper is to examine the reactions to a loss for those who are religious and/or attached to God in some spiritual way. In order to do this, I will be summarizing and analyzing a study that examined the role of attachment to god, meaning, and religious coping as mediators in the grief experience Kelley and Chan (2012).…

    In less than twenty-four hours my aunt passed away, followed by a dear friend. More recently, my great uncle died. He was like a father to many of us who, at one time in our lives, were fatherless. I have attended more funeral this year than any one person should have to. Each and every day someone wakes up to an empty spot on the bed beside them, or an empty house, or even without a parent or role model. My family has had to show great bravery in basically a long string of what seems like bad luck. Some of the deaths were from old age, some were from illness, and one was done intentionally before his time should have been up. I believe that if he had someone to teach him about God's love and how when everything seems to be going wrong one can turn to him, that I would still have an eighteen year old cousin, who loved life and what it has to offer. If he had shown true bravery he would still be here today. He showed fear by taking his own life and not trusting God to make a way. It would have helped if he hadn't been raised in a home where there was no God. His mother doesn't believe in Him. Even still, I believe that showing bravery by continuing with life and its hardships takes work. Adversity and bad luck seem to follow some around like a rain cloud. But with God's love and power, He can grant us an understanding to deal with the things that seem like too much to…

    Most of the time, children have a great impact on a relationship. Before children, couples usually tend to spend a lot of time together and have more energy and money (Wood, 2010). Once children turn the relationship into a family, couples have less time together along with less energy and money (Wood, 2010). Our communications go from long and stimulating conversations about anything and everything to mostly about the children. We all know that becoming a parent is hard, but until we do, we never realize exactly how hard it really is (Wood, 2010). I interviewed five parents, two of them being a married couple, on how becoming parents impacted their relationships. The rest of this paper focuses on how these parents feel their children have impacted their relationships and how their communication is with each other.…

    This is especially true for the Christian who often struggles to understand why God would allow them to experience a personal loss when such a God is said to be loving and powerful. My response to people who struggle for such an understanding is that despite how bad the situation may be, God ultimately has a reason for. While such a reason may not be known initially or may never even be known by the person who suffers, but regardless the event serves a purpose in God's plan. So with this in mind, I would remind the person to have faith in God for such loss may be painful now but as in the case of Job, it will be a part of his bigger…
