Facing my Fear

I’m15 years old, and still when I dangle my feet over the edge of my bed in the dark. I know that scary, clammy hands will grab my ankles and drag me down to a dark hell of terror and death. This is never a conscious thought, but when my feet hangs over the edge of my mattress, a chill of fear crawls up my spine, and I quickly pull my wandering limbs back to safety.
I should have gotten over this childhood fear a long time ago, but this thought has been with me year after year. The fear of something grabbing me and taking me to the real world. I would rather deal with monster under my bed than take on real life.
I am horribly shy; I have no real social skills or grace. Sometimes more than anything I wanted to be noticed as the pretty, attractive, outgoing girl I knew I was, instead of the shy girl who was always glued to her only friends everyone saw. Being noticed was also my worst fear, because my shyness could lead me to another social disaster.
Over the first couple years of high school I try emerging from my shell. I start to love my individuality. How far can I push this self-expression? What if no one likes the real me? What if the don’t like the girl who has been hiding from her expression?
When I was young, I used to have these terrible dreams that some mysterious dark figure would chase me off a cliff. But my hero would fly in and rescue me in the nick of time. Now as a teenager, I am uneasy about what will happen after high school. Some people I know have a plan to know what the going to do and where they’re going. Right now it’s not the dark figure whose chasing my but my fear.
If you’re human, you fear will never go away. All I can do is learn how to face it. Maybe being human means having to dangle your feet over some edge, with a monster below. Maybe my hero would come and rescue me. Then again maybe not.

Suggest fun activities that I can use in class to teach an essay writing to 14 year old students?

I have to teach an essay writing in class. I have not yet decided about the essay topic. I want my students to participate in class and not just take notes about how to write the essay. I want them to participate actively and have fun. My objective is to make them contribute to the essay writing, get the ideas and to submit the essay in a week. Can you suggest me a good essay topic and what activities i can use? A letter writing sounds like good idea too but how to teach that to students?

What are some great tips to writing an excellent essay?

Our english teacher has assigned us to write an essay.
The problem is, she hasn’t taught the class how to write an essay or given us any tips to perfect it.
I can’t exactly ask her for help, since we have a holiday break.
Can you please share any essay writing tips?

Thank you. :)
