cracking teenagers online codes

I agree with  Dr. Boyd's article because it makes sense because some teenagers do need to experience some things in life in order to have experience. One thing I don't agree is that the city is safer than it was before. Personally I think that the city is full of crazy and corrup people and that kids should not be around people like that.Also I think that teenagers do need some type of space, because believe it or not they are going to find a way to do anything that they want to. It takes experience to have knowledge. Dr. Boyd's article talks about how you can still find out what your teen is doing but also don't be too hard on them because it will juts pressure them to do it more. I agree with this because i am a teen , and if my mom kept pressuring me about not doing something it would kind of make me want to do it more. So i understand where she's coming from. I also think that alot of teenager can relate to where she's coming from.

teaching kids how to break up

the  main idea of the article called "teaching kid how to break up nicely by Benoit Denizet" is nice and mean ways of breaking up with someone. For example facebook is not a good way to break up with somebody, but it is easier than telling that person to their face. Racing into a new facebook official relationship is understandable but still not healthy because when you break up with someone, if you rush into another one to make your ex mad it makes you look bad. I think Facebook  relationships never work out because there are a lot of people  who are nosy, and are waiting to cause trouble. Nosy people in other people's relationships are the main reason why couples break up. Like if i was in a relationship, i would not let facebook or the people know what's going on in my relationship, because that would just cause problems.This topic is a very nice topic for educating teenagers, the do's and and do not's  of being in a relationship. In real life i have not experienced breaking up with somebody on facebook but i know somebody who has. when my older cousin got into a relationship she let the whole know. she constantly made statuses when they were having problems. Eventually they broke up due to nosy people. some people only have face book's just to be in other peoples Business . I won't experience a facebook heart break because this article made me realize that your business, should stay you business, and the only people who should know are the people you want to know.

hurricane irene hits east coast

A while back in 2011 there was a hurricane called hurricane Irene. The news showed news broadcast of what to expect and how severe the hurricane may or may not be. The news had people all in the east coast scared, and evacuating. people who were at the beach vacationing were evacuated, but some people who were stubborn would not leave. Some believed that if it was there time to go then they would leave in a place that they call home. Personally me, you would not have to tell me twice. But in the grocery stores lines were down the street and around the corner full of worried people buying non-perishable food items in case the hurricane knocked out the power. People also bought wood and supplies to cover up there windows. since the news said we shouldn't get it that bad me and my mom didn't board up our windows we just bought lot of groceries. every day up till the storm the news kept talking about hurricane Irene and how to prepare for it, but overall all we got was hard rain. Other places like upper Darby, and  Delaware, got it bad, they had signs and cars floating down the street.

hero to murderer

On the news there was a story talking about a soldier who comes back from iraq, and runs over a 65 year old women and kills her. his family says that while in iraq he suffered a head injury and it caused him to have problems. They said that it caused him to have flash backs  from when he was in the war, and every time he has those flash backs he wants to kill people. It's like a rage.
