It is a true story and you have probably heard it here is a brief summary:
A Briton living in Australia has agreed a bid of more than £192,000 after putting his “entire life” up for sale following a split from his wife.
I went to watch my girls sing with Merton Music Foundation in St Pauls Church in Covent Garden London which is also kown as “The Actors Church” during the interval I came across this plaque and loved it, what a great thing to be remembered for.
It is a great visual for a discussion starter and would work well along with How do you want to be remembered.
If you have missed this story of the Mum who shopped her own sons what have you been doing. This is a must read / see discussion starter. The story gets even better when after the victim seeing her in an interview on GMTV asks to meet her.

Young people often find it difficult to express themselves. This is a simple method to get them thinking about themselves, how they feel about themselves and how they think people see them.
Give each young person paper and a large marker pen ask them to write 3 words that they think describe them best, one word per page.
