The summer heat has reached its breaking point for a group of high school students in Wales, as the boys decided to protest their school’s strict uniform policy which     1     wearing shorts no matter what weather, by showing up to school in skirts.

After they     2     to the bathroom to change into all-black skirts, seventeen White church High School students emerged wearing skirts on campus, and they     3     in the campaign to resist the customary uniform trousers. The boys’     4     was less an act of politically urged civil disobedience than it was a way to beat the heat.

While none of the boys were punished for their protesting efforts, the movement was short-lived. After proudly     5     into the headmaster’s office shouting “we want to wear shorts”, they were quickly ordered to change back into trousers. “We had a     6     with some boys and they have worn trousers,” said Principal Jones Williams.

Protester Tyrone Evelyn, 15, told Wales Online that the group would continue     7     for a change. “It’s just appropriate for the weather. Over the last few days I’ve had a few headaches and skin irritations. Girls can wear skirts, so I don’t see why we can’t wear shorts. It’s a reasonable protest.”

The boys     8     agreed to write a letter to their Students’ Union, applying for a rule change by next summer.

The population of the world is increasing rapidly. By 2030, there could be 8.0 billion people on earth. Will there be     1     food for all these people, or will we have a food shortage? Some scientists think fish farming could     2     this problem. However, other scientists worry that fish farming could cause serious environmental problems.

Fish farming is not a     3     thing. There were fish farms in China 3, 000 years ago. Today, about one-third of the fish we eat comes from fish farms.

Most fish farms raise plant-eating fish. Popular kinds of plant-eating fish are carp, tilapia, and catfish. Unfortunately, many fish farms are starting to raise meat-eating fish. A popular type of meat-eating fish is salmon. These meat-eating fish live on     4     food made from wild fish. However, it takes up to 5 tons of wild fish to produce just 1 ton of farm-raised salmon. The     5     of wild fish is already decreasing.

Eventually, many types of wild fish could go     6    . What will we do then?     7     of fish farming also say that farm-raised fish is unhealthy for humans. They say the fish contains dangerous chemicals. They also blame the issue on fish farming because it pollutes the water. Another criticism is that farm-raised fish can spread diseases to wild fish.

Some people say that the farming methods being used now hasn’t     8     enough fish anyway. Instead of putting fish farms in lakes or near the coast, they say that the fish farms should be moved far out into the ocean. Several countries have already     9     with deep-ocean farms. In the future, fish farms might be large cages that move across the ocean.

Like most things, there is both a good and a bad side to fish farming. Fish farming may help to     10     millions of people. At the same time, however, fish farming may damage the environment.

What Is a Superiority Complex?

A superiority complex is a behavior that suggests a person believes they are somehow superior to others. People with this complex often have overstated opinions of themselves. They may believe their abilities and achievements are better than those of others. However, the complex is believed to be a defense system for feelings of inadequacy that we all struggle with.

It is unclear why a person develops a superiority complex. Multiple incidents may be the root cause. For example, it may be the result of many failures. A person tries to complete a specific goal or achieve a desired outcome, but they don’t succeed. They learn to handle the anxiety and stress of the failure by pretending to be above it. If they feel protected from their failures in this way, they may repeat this behavior in the future.

These behaviors can begin at an early age. When a child is learning to cope with challenges, they may learn to control feelings of inadequacy or fear. A superiority complex may develop. Likewise, it may also happen later in life. As teens and adults, a person has many opportunities to try new things among new people. If these situations are not successfully coped with, a person may develop a superiority complex to overcome feeling isolated.

People with a superiority complex are unlikely to be a threat to anyone’s physical health. However, the continuous lies and overstatements can become annoying to others and may negatively affect relationships. It can push away other people in your life and shrink your social circle. If you are in a relationship with a person who you think has the issue, encourage the person to seek help. For example, never hesitate to reach out to mental health professionals. They can find healthier ways to deal with hidden feelings.
