Although longevity is a controversial topic in many countries because in the developed countries there are more and more doctors, but in the underveloped countries there aren't many doctors.

I am going to start by defining superstition, it is the belief opposite to the reason that attributes a     magic explanation to things. Very important people were superstitious such as Napoleon, Socrates, Julio Cesar and Samuel Johnson. Napoleon feared black cats, Socrates feared the evil eye, Julio Cesar feared dreams and Samuel Johnson always got in or got out buildings with the right leg. On the one hand, there are superstitions that are bad, such as number 13, to see a black cat, to go under a ladder, to spill salt, to open an umbrella inside the house, to light three cigarrettes with the same match, to see a crooked picture, to break a mirror, etc. Each of them has its opposite, for example, if you break a mirror you will have to take it and throw it in a bucket so that won't have bad luck.

Cyberbullyingg includes cell phones, computers, tablets and communication tools including social media sites, messages and chat. It is very important if you are in this case, to tell an adult, teacher or contact with the police because people don't realize of the damage that they are doing. There are several types of cyberbullying,for example grooming, stalking, moobing, sexting, bullying, etc. The most important differences between Bullying and Cyberbullying are that there isn't a place where to hide from Cyberbullying and many people can see it.

What do you think about electronic forms of communication such as Facebook, Twitter, etc? I'm going to talk about electronic forms of communication for example Facebbok, Twitter, Instagram, etc. I usually use all applications except Twitter because I don't like the function of this application. Altthough Twitter is the third application more used of the world, I don't use it. More over, Instagram and Whatsapp are the two more used.
