Cracking Teenagers

This week I read an article called "Cracking Teenagers' Online Codes by Pamela paul this is about how Dr. Boyd thinks that teenagers need more privacy and learn some things on their own. the main idea of Cracking Teenagers online codes about how parents are being over protective about the wrong things. Such as not letting their teens go outside because they think their going to get raped or banning them from the web because they their talking to strangers that are pedophile. Some facts in the article was when Dr. Boyd said parents think their kids can get molested when their talking online with strangers but she says the real people that molest teens are the one who already know them such as an uncle or family friend. I think this was a good article i really like the part when Dr. Boyd said teens need privacy and i liked the part when she said the real people that molest teens are the ones who already know them. That reminds me of the movie " Lovely Bones" her neighbor raped her. He already knew her, he knew everything about her like what school she went to, her hobbies and he had a friendly neighborly type friendship with her parents.

Biggest Story Of 2011

This year biggest story to me was the Jerry Sandusky story . I really personally hate him for doing that I don't even know Jerry Sandusky and when I hear his name it makes me sick to my stomach . Jerry sandusky is a heartless man he deserves everything that's coming his way. Nobody and I mean nobody deserves to be violated in such a way that you think that you have nobody to tell what happened to you people waited 8 or something years just to come out and say what happened. Research Show that Sandusky was released on 25o k Bail . What ? He needs to stay in jail I don't CARE how much he try to convience people that all he did was take a shower with them kids no he did way more and their are alot of victims behind his actions . Jerry sandusky is a disgrace he is so disrespectful and he just deserves everything bad . This was the biggest story to me just because it really grabbed my attention .

Breaking Up Over Facebook: Good or Bad

I agree and disagree with the the"Teaching Kids How To Break Up" article. In this article the Boston Public Health Commission held a  conference to try to teach teens to break up with their boyfriend or girlfriend. This article contains quotes from teens who give their honest opinion on the topic at hand. I agree with this article in some ways because sometimes when  people are in 2 year, 1 year or even 6 month relationships, as long as it was committed and heart felt, breaking up on facebook, twitter, tumblr or by text message is something you just don't do.  The part I disagree with is, if your in 2 or 3 week relationship and you find out that person isnt who you thought they were, that is the time you get out with a quick text. But you have to be compassionate about that person's feelings.
