Bob Marley was born in Jamaica February 6, 1945. 

His father was a Jamaican of 
English descent.

 His mother was a black teenager. Bob started his career  with

The Wailers, a group he formed with Peter Tosh and Bunny Livingstone.

The Wailers collaborated with Lee Scratch Perry, resulting in some of the 

Wailers' finest tracks like "Soul Rebel"or "Duppy Conquerer".

This collaboration ended  when the Wailers found that Perry, thinking the 

records were his, sold them in England without their consent. However, this 

brought the Wailers' music to the attention of Chris Blackwell , the owner of 

Island Records.

Blackwell immediately signed the Wailers and produced their first album, 

"Catch a Fire".

In 1974 Tosh and Livingston left the Wailers to start solo careers.

 Marley later formed the  band "Bob Marley and the Wailers"

In 1977 Marley consulted with a doctor when a wound in his big toe would not heal. 

More tests revealed malignant melanoma.

The cancer was kept secret from the general public while Bob continued working.

Returning to Jamaica in 1978, he continued work and released "Survival" in 1979,

 which was followed by a successful European tour.

It was a time of great success for Marley, and he started an American tour to reach blacks in the US. 

He played two shows at Madison Square Garden, but collapsed while jogging in NYC's  Central Park on September 21, 1980. 

The cancer diagnosed earlier had spread to his brain, lungs and stomach. 

Bob Marley died in a Miami hospital on May 11, 1981.

He was 36 years old.

ASK.FM

                                                             

 Ask.fm is a popular social network. It was launched in Latavia in 2010. It has became very trendy worldwilde but, it also can be quite dangerous.
Ask gives people the chance to ask or answer all type of questions. 
Your  questions  can be for a specific person or  you can post it publicly. 
Sometimes, you can also find less plesant questions and very bad answers.
Ask.Fm  guarantees anonymity, so it has became  a way for teenagers to exchange insults and threats, and this has had very serious consequences.
So a few teenagers  committed suicide after being cyber bullied on this site.
Like Hannah Smith, a 14 year old girl who killed herselfs for the messages she was getting.
But this website can be a lot of fun.
You can make new friends from many different countries and learn about other cultures, new music ecc, but you need to remember that you must be careful who you talk  to. If  someone contacts you,using sexual comments, or a comment that you find bullyng, report it and block them.
