100 word short stories

Worst test
My arms were shaking, I was scared. It was time for the test. All that studying
forgotten in seconds. What’s the capital of illinois? Wait. Isn’t this a math test? Oh, wait it’s
a social studies test. I was so scared I forgot what test I was taking. Lets try again, what’s
the capital of Illinois, fifteen, no, Springfield! I got it, next question. What’s the capital of
New York? Albany. Finally all of my studying was coming back. I was flying through the
test. Then the blazing sound of the fire alarms ripped through my ears I couldn’t help but
let out a scream.

Broken fan
My arm was completely numb. I just had stitches removed. I came home tired and fatigued. I take

myself to the couch and lay down. I look up, Oh No! A SPIDER! I pick up a pillow throwing it
up,constantly trying to hit the spider down, but my ceiling was too high and my arm was too numb. Try
one thousand and forty two, failed. I was getting mad. The spider moved above the fan. I take a big swing
and pop. One arm of the fan came off. I broke the metal, it was laying on the floor. And the spider was
still stuck.

Technology

Solar energy is the new energy

Solar panels are not exactly new, but what if they were on your roof. They
are almost pollution-free and help harvest what we have an abundance of. But it
costs 5x more than using fossil fuels, at least in the beginning. So why should we
switch? In some cases it will cost less in total. Helping save money and the
environment. Companies like, Solarcity, are selling cheap plans for family homes.
They offer solar panels for roofs, and even solar tiles that look like regular roofs.

Technology

Solar energy is the new energy
continued

MIT conducted a study on if solar energy is necessary for the future, it is, unless you like global

warming. They produce 96% less than other options. Why would keep using earth-harming fuels if you

could switch? Google is working on running their entire company on renewable energy, solar energy.

They consumed as much power as San Francisco last year. The state of Montana is adopting solar too.

Soon it will be everywhere. We need to take big steps to preserve earth, and solar is the way to go. Our

ozone layer is miraculously healing, but the rest of the world is getting worse. We are the ones killing

Earth, so we need to be the ones who save it. 5

Poem 6

Mother Nature

Look at the wind
Look at the trees
Look at the grass
This is what Mother Nature made for us
She is kind
And caring
She made this beautiful land called earth
I'd like to thank her
She gave us life
She takes good care of mankind
She sings a song of birds
And cries a shower of rain
We know she is angry when you breath in the thick air of pollution
Save mother nature
Save earth

Things to better your life

Adopt a dog

Dogs are great companions, they are easy to train and give you company.

The sad thing is, even though dogs are great friends and nice animals, they are

mistreated. Puppy mills spin out dogs without concerning their health. Dog

stores look fun and clean, they are anything but that. Dogs roll in there poop all

day and barely leave their tight cells. Adopting a dog has many advantages, some

of which are that you pay less, and you don’t have to pick a puppy. Adopt a dog

from a local shelter and save a life. 9

Schizophrenia

What is schizophrenia? The name is well known but the disorder isn't. Schizophrenia
is a psychosis, they cannot tell from what's real and what's not. It affects how the world
is seen by altering the way way they think and behave. For people with schizophrenia it
is hard to distinguish from what's real and what's not. The disorder makes people believe
something that's not true, like a group is out for them.

What causes it? The cause of Schizophrenia is not yet known, but scientists have

ideas. It could be a variety of things from your gene to your ancestors, and even

problems during birth. Having ancestors with the disorder can increase your chance of

getting it. Although drugs can make the symptoms worse, they are not yet proved to

cause it. Another idea is that the brain makes inappropriate connections that can go

unnoticed until puberty. Scans on people with Schizophrenia show physical

abnormalities in the brain. The only problem with that is that it’s not true for everyone

with the disorder. 10

Schizophrenia, continued
Schizophrenia can start from 16-30. So it is good for teens to know the

warning signs. Depression and withdrawal is a main symptom of Schizophrenia. If
a person seems like they are suspicious to everything around them and don't take
criticism well. Lack personal hygiene, like not showering. Lack of emotions or too
many inappropriate emotions. Too much sleep or too little, also known as
insomnia. Strange speaking patterns, odd use of words and strange statements.
Delusions and hallucinations are two main symptoms.

Treatment for Schizophrenia is a lifelong commitment. There currently is
no cure. Medications like, antipsychotics, help ease the symptoms. Because
depression usually happens when someone has Schizophrenia, antidepressants
and antianxiety drugs can be prescribed too. Therapy is also key to help treat the
disorder.

Schizophrenia, Continued

Schizophrenia is a very serious disorder. With help and support early on
people with this disorder could live a more normal life. Learning the symptoms can
help save a person's life. They may be different than us but that doesn't mean they
don't need help. Remember the signs and you can help someone.
