For Teens, By Teens Money, money, money OFF THE WALL By Mark Nonkes Have you ever caught yourself saying "I would, but I'm flat broke." Or "Sorry, I can't, I don't have any money." You wonder what happened to last weekend's pay cheque, "Where did it all go?" you ask yourself. You spent it and have nothing to show for it. You find yourself complaining to your friends, hoping they'll have pity on you and give you their spare change. You try to think of something that will make you rich quick. You could go around and do other people's homework — but that involves using your brain. You could sing in the halls of the school and get people to give you their extra cash. How about making bets with your classmates that you'll shave off all your hair? Is it worth the humiliation? You're stuck and until your next pay cheque, broke. This is a common occurrence and it is time we start saving money. Enough of supporting Nestle and Coca Cola. Here's some helpful advice so next time you won't be flat broke. Sit down one night and make a budget. Make sure your expenses don't outweigh your income. Be sure you write down how much money you make, every time you get money. Everything you purchase, from candy to clothing, ARIES March 21 - April 19 Don't let depression interfere with your schoolwork, share your troubles with a loved one and you may make a thrilling discovery. TAURUS April 20 - May 20 You're in for a lot of changes this month in love, school and friend- ship, have a little patience. Try to keep focus on what's important. Others have confidence in you. GEMINI May 21 - June 20 Don't neglect your family - re- examine a relationship and discover what it is YOU need. Have fun, don't overwork yourself. Friendships turn to love. CANCER June 21 - July 22 Be creative and impress those higher up. Think before you act and you will succeed. Listen intently to another's problem. should be written down in the exact amounts. Make goals and don't spent your money on anything else, if possible, until you have enough for your goal. Wait for sales. Avoid temptations, if you know you're going to buy something useless in a certain store, avoid the store. Put your money in a savings account and collect interest. Compare prices, shop around, you'll find there's always a better deal. Think before you buy; if you don't need it or didn't plan to buy it forget it. Avoid borrowing money from people, that way you won't have to search your brain to remember all the people you have to pay back. Put your loose change in a jar or container, including your pennies. Roll your money; those pennies add up. Empty your pockets before you put your clothes in the laundry. Take a lunch to school instead of the overpriced (to say the least) cafeteria food. When shopping for clothing, go to warehouses or even a second hand store. Things there are way cheaper than big chains. Avoid shopping for clothing labels. Be willing to try new brands. If it looks good and feels comfortable, go for it. HOROSCOPE LEO July 23 - August 22 Get active! Spend a lot of time with friends and give your relationship some space. Don't let it get too serious. Volunteer yourself. VIRGO August 23 - September 22 Spending time with good friends and that new love of your life is fun but don't neglect some of the less important things like family and school. Call an old friend. Stick to a commitment previously made. LIBRA September 23 - October 22 Don't let flattery go to your head. It's time to share a big secret, but make sure you really trust the person you tell. Trust your instincts. Avoid fights. SCORPIO October 23 - November 21 Don't over-react. Don't let jealousy run your life. A crisis seems worse than it is, with help from a person you never cared for much you'll make it through. By Erin Roulston We've all heard those stories on TV; the man who was driving in his car and suddenly saw the glowing lights of a UFO in front of him. Or the story of the woman abducted by aliens and subjected to numerous tests. If you've ever seen Unsolved Mysteries or Sightings or X-Files or Independence Day you know all about the aliens that will visit, or have already visited our lovely earth. But is any of it true? There's just as many scientific, realistic explanations for these events as there are stories of space creatures but, I've recently heard a new one. In a story from The Toronto Star, I read that a UFO investigator named Alvin Lawson believes that what people think are memories from an alien abduction are really flashbacks from the trauma of their birth. Lawson conducted experiments in the 70s and 80s where he hypnotized people who knew little or nothing about UFOs. They were asked to imagine being abducted and describe who abducted them. Their answers were very much like the stories of "abducted" people implying that it was just a psychological event relating to memories of fetal development and SAGITTARIUS November 22 - December 21 You need a change. Don't get too over-confident. A vulnerability is revealed to the world. It's time to find out who your real friends are. CAPRICORN December 22 - January 19 You suddenly become more popular than your wildest dreams. The people who helped you get there may feel neglected. Show your love and appreciation. AQUARIUS January 20 - February 18 Take a time-out or you'll get over-stressed. An old problem re- emerges but you can deal with it if you think things out. You are a good role model. PISCES February 12 - March 20 Your subtle hints may be misinterpreted. Just come right out and tell loved ones the truth. You're surprised at how well school is going. birth. Lawson believes that everybody has the ability to remember birth, but it was so traumatic that it has been suppressed. Those who remember just pass it off as an alien abduction in their search for an explanation. Lawson says this would explain the imagery of sudden loss of control, paralysis, pressure on the head, difficulty in breathing and travelling down a lighted tunnel into a large room with humanoid figures looking at them. There are even descriptions given of the aliens resembling a fetus. Well, this is all great for Mr. Lawson. If he wants to believe that people have memories of a fetus injecting them with little fetus DNA, then good for him. But what does the rest of the world think of his findings? Lawson was quoted as saying that "true believers are mad at me. They loathe and detest me and they detest my ideas. My ideas represent a threat to their belief systems." 41. Well, if you tell someone that everything they believe in is just life inside their mother's womb don't expect them to become your best friend. Personally, I don't know what to believe. I've always thought that there's life out there somewhere, but that they're here on earth observing us, I'm not so sure. When I hear a person talking about his alien abduction I tend to believe they have an over-active imagination, but hey, to each his own. I suppose if the aliens are going to come and attack the earth then the abductees who've been telling us the truth all along are going to have a good laugh. That is until the aliens vapourize them.
