Adventure seekers and extreme sports enthusiasts would easily tell you that they love challenges because they help develop mental strength, test one’s limits, and overcome fear. But not all challenges are created equal. Climbing the highest peak in the world is challenging; slathering your hair with Gorilla Glue in front of an online audience is not.
Many social media influencers and internet personalities become famous because they produce entertaining content, have shining personalities, or have shameless ambition. Then there’s nine-year-old Lil Tay (real name Claire Hope), whose claim to fame is speaking like a mobster.

Students nowadays deal with a lot: social anxiety, family expectations, and the pandemic. Young students may have the gift of youth but none of the financial freedom and street smarts to tackle adult problems. Some may even face legal challenges. And when parents, guardians, and educators can’t help, law books, Google, and actual lawyers can come to the rescue.
Horrific stories of Hollywood stars being horrible employers are nothing new. But not all celebs are horrible bosses; Oprah is said to be beloved by her staff and so is the Bajan billionaire Rihanna.
