Answer

It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

The useful website that I have found recently is ChargeBT. Basically it is an artificial intelligence tool. So it gives answers for all our questions. All the answers that are answered by ChargeBT AI assistant is curated. Instead of checking all different websites in the internet, this website provides a collective information of all data which is summarized in a single sentence. It also helps us in making comparison tables, presentations, activities that helps to engage the kids. So personally when I found this website I was very curious what answers it will give. But to my surprise it gave all the relevant answers, made my work easy, helped in making presentations to my office work. Only drawback of this website is many students who are studying school or universities are using this app as the single source of their homework or project works. Since every data is curated by this website, they are not even trying to learn and calculate by their own. Everything they are being dependent on the same website.

So, one of the useful website I would love to talk is an AI website which is a chat GPT. So, I'm sure that everyone has used it and everyone has used it for different purposes of their life. For example, students use it for research and asking questions too that we don't know answer about and if you want to cook something, you can get recipes. If you want to do anything, chat GPT is that help you. That's how useful the website is. So, I personally believe that this one website actually takes away the job of all other website. Let it be a cooking website, let it be a research website, let it be any other websites. This one comprehends all the information that other websites carry.
