cracking teenagers' online codes

This article is about how a 34 year old self proclaimed teen advocate is saying that teenagers have not changed from their parents when they were teenagers. She is saying that we go through the same things. Also that parents should not limit the amount of time their teens are on the internet. She also thinks that many stereo types about teens being online are totally not true. Such as if a teen is talking to an adult online that that adult hast to be a pervert. She also says that because parents do not want their children to roam around that actual world they should let them roam around their virtual one. She thinks that children she be online as long as they need. she also says that the internet has helped her tremendously in there life and that the internet can be a great source for information, support, and help when they cant get it from anyone else.  I agree with some or the things dr.boyd is saying in this article. I agree that tens should be able to roam around the internet freely. I also do agree with her statement that since children aren’t able to roam Around there world they should be able to get access about it from the internet. But I don’t really agree that children should not at all be monitored I mean to a certain existent because as she said children need privacy but they should still have guidance in what they are doing.

teaching kids how to break up

This article was mainly about teens that break- up and the manner in which they break up. Also it is about the health of the break up and how if it is on face book or online it is unhealthy. This article included quotes from kids and they talk about all kinds of relationships. Such as the 19-year-old girl that’s girlfriend broke up with her after she confronted her about why she changed her relationship status to single. This article also talked about some celebrity relationships. For example the story about Ronnie and Sammie from jersey shore. They did not at all break up the way people their age should have. I think that the face book and online breaking up topic is a huge issue. Kids are really being hurt from this. The things that happen are unfair and people should not be traded like that. I would want something like this to be in every school so people could know how they are hurting people. These people are really messing with people’s hearts. Also kids go through enough in high school. Some kids are suicidal and them getting embarrassed on the internet superbly inform of their friends might be their last straw they might kill themselves or hurt other people because of the pain they have been put through. Going through this seminar would be good for anyone nothing bad could really come from it only shows a different side of a story a different perspective. So people if they really care about the person they can no how to respectfully break up with them.

irene south dakota on empower3000

This article was about how because of budget cuts that has caused them these schools to make drastic changes to the schooling and the school week. This school in South Dakota is making their school week one day shorter they are making their school week a day shorter. They are extending the mount of time that the kids spend in the classrooms during the day that they will be in school. They added 30 minuets and they made their lunchtime and gym time shorter to make more time fir learning. Many people did not agree people said that they kids will suffer because they are missing a whole school day. But all of the schools that have done this have not had any differences in their grades they have not visibly been affected. Khadidrah Simmons says" I would just rather have the extra day cause that is a lot to be added on for one day of no school. I would not want for this school to adopt that." I in agree with khadidrah she is right. In the end we have the same amount of hours in school. It’s just that now its being piled on the other days and it is making the normal school day different and abnormal. It is sad that they have to go to school so much also I do think that if you take a whole day out of the school week you will learn less. Especially the kids who are not in high school they learn bye repetition and they need every chance they can have it. This change will also be bad for teens they will have a whole day every week were they will be home alone and their parents will be at work and the day it is the day before the weekend they might do crazy stuff because they aren’t in school. 

biggest news of 2011

The biggest news of 2011 had to have been the announcing that Osama bin laden was killed by us army officials. The story was told that they found Osama bin laden in hiding some were in mansion right outside of abbottabad in northwest Pakistan. I read an article on this incident on www.ibtimes.com. It was called "were was Osama bin laden killed?” the reason that I feel that this incident is the biggest one in 2011 is because we have been fighting with irak for a very long time and us capturing and killing Osama has made the ending of the war possible. Also because the speech that Obama made was subject to comedy. People all over America were making their own videos and quoting his "swagger" about the situation. Also because this huge milestone happened while we had an African American president the first in history. The person that organized the purposeful killing of hundreds of innocent citizens. 911 were the worse tragedy that happened in the United States in my opinion.  Also since the military had been looking for Osama for almost 10 years. When they finally found him hiding is a home in Islamabad. They killed him. Also the killing of Osama had been the subject of conspiracy. Some people thought that Osama is not really dead and that they either they caught the wrong person or they faked his death to finally put an end to every thing that had been happening with the United States and irac. For all of theses reason the killing of Osama bin laden is the biggest story of 2011.
