by LoLa, 1 March 2010
If you are between the ages of 13 and 21 we would love for you to join our online community. We're planning to open up our forum community to the world wide web. This is the first step.
Comments from existing users...
"I am a self-acclaimed newbie here on the iCUBED.us forum. In fact, I'm pretty glad that I stumbled across this site. It has a really unique concept, especially in comparison to other communities in the WWW. I like the fact that this site addresses more meaningful and REAL LIFE issues."

Check out the video below, it's making a humorous observation about people under 30! Maybe the result of years of "politically correct" mishmash double-talk that fundamentally changes nothing except make us HIDE OUR TRUE - feelings, prejudices and stereotypes...

| Hong Kong: KELY SUPPORT GROUP to host a Forum on Drug Prevention and Action on 5 NOV 09 |
|
|
|
by Nomadic Chris, 21 October 2009
Just how severe is the youth drug situation in Hong Kong?
As a concerned parent or teacher or teen, do you want to learn more from renowned experts?
On November 5th 2009, the KELY SUPPORT GROUP will host a Forum for Non-Chinese Speaking Parents on Drug Prevention and Action for Their Teens. Hong Kong has seen a sharp rise in the number of teenage drug users; the problem is now so severe that the Hong Kong government has recently implemented a controversial system of random school drug tests.

Let me tell you a story. This past Sunday I was invited by my cousin for dinner — originally it was for dinner and a movie, but I’ve already seen the one’s I want to see, so we opted for a longer dinner — and by the end of it all, she decided to drive me home.

| Looking from a distance, the invention of the telescope |
|
|
|
by !Baha, 26 August 2009
When the telescope was 'invented' 400 years ago, Galileo Galilei was tried as a heretic by the all powerful Roman Catholic Church because he disproved church doctrine that the sun, not the earth, is the center of the universe. In those days, that was equal to calling the church a liar.

| HOW TO SAY NO ... to Drugs or anything else you don't want |
|
|
|
by !Baha, 7 August 2009
"JUST SAY NO!" says the anti-drug-use slogans
It's difficult to say NO, sometimes it seems impossible. We've all been in situations where we're offered something and saying NO would hurt the other person's feelings, or you'll look like a snob, you'll not 'fit in' with the crowd...

What is the one object you swear that can't live without?
Almost every teen would agree that it would be almost impossible to survive without their cell phone. Their reasoning is not only based on the convenience of having one, but also on their reliance of text messaging.

| LoLa reports on how a TV advert moved viewers and launched "The Responsibility Project" website |
|
|
|
by Lola, 15 April 2009
"When it's people who do the right thing, they call it responsibility..."
Very much in line with the philosophy and rationale behind the creation of iCUBED.us, The Responsibility Project website, which was launched as a direct reaction to the overwhelming response to a TV advert, is all about "kindness & doing simple good deeds for others" = "VIRTUOUS CIRCLE" (... the opposite of which is "a vicious cycle" ...)
Check it out for yourself, watch the advert below, and pop in for a visit to The Responsibility Project Website
