Cracking teenagers online codes

I recently read an article about an out-going 34 year old woman named Danah Boyd. She is a researcher at Microsoft Research in Cambridge Massachusetts. She is the first antroantopoligist to focus on the teen behaviors and benefits from social networking sites like Facebook and twitter.

Most adults fear teen internet usage. They feel as if teens share entirely too much information over the internet. Danah Boyd strongly disagrees. She feels that this generation has more computer safety. She also believes that teens put stuff on the internet because parents are constantly giving "web rules"

When Danah was 16, 13 of her friends died, and she was cared that she might be next. Due to an absent father, and divorced parents Danah was a troubled child in school. So she talked to online predators over the internet. I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't think talking to strangers who save her life. Well in this case it did. She was able to talk to people over the internet who knew what she was going through.

My mom has taught me about internet safety. Therefore i know how to portray certain emotions without giving too much information.

Family: Victim targeted for witnessing murder

I recently read an article that possibly stop alot of people from testifying. January 23 33-year-old Rosemary Rivera was brutally murdered execution style in her mini-mart. She recently testified for a murder she witnessed outside her store. Days before her death she cried to her sister explaining that she felt as if someone was going to kill her. Police feel that the man who murdered her is the same man who committed the murder she testified for.

This is crazy. The police want us to testify but they cant even protect us after we testify.People already feel as if testifying is snitching now they have another reason to keep valuable information that could help save lives to their selves.

I'm someone doesn't giving information, but reading this article makes me question that. I don't want to die because the police can't do their job. More people are losing their lives because of this. The police need to step up their security or else they wont have any witness to test

"It is better to be loved than feared."

"It is better to be loved than feared."

I believe that this quote is basically saying that people don't have to be scared of you for them to have respect for you. I couldn't agree with this quote more. In today's society alot of teens feel that they have to put fear in people just to get respect, but in all actuality they are making the person despise them more.

The first person that comes to mind when I read this quote is my grandmother. She is constantly telling my brother this. My brother wants everyone one to have respect for him and if they don't he tries to make that person scared of him.

I consider myself to be loved not feared. I believe this because people give me respect without me forcing them to. My mom says that I have a personality that makes people want to be around me and that my personality makes people want to give me respect. I personally think that it is the fact that i give people respect so they give me respect back.

This proverb can be used in my everyday life. I say that because there are people in my life who could benefit from this quote.

Robert "yummy" Sandifer

Many people wonder how an eleven year old boy nick named yummy got caught up into gang activity and later died . So in this short essay I will tell you how his death occurred. To start off Robert "Yummy" Sandifer parents were not in his life. His mother was a drug addict and a prostitute. And his father was in jail, leaving yummy with out love.
When yummy moved with his grandmother, his short life of crime began. If you don't know Yummy has done many crimes. From robbery to arson, and murder. After Yummy shot an Innocent bystander, it brung attention to police. Because the police were paying close attention to the black disciples, two of the members of this gang brutally shot and killed yummy.

I believe that if yummy had people to love him he would be alive. I say that because Yummy was a very bright child. So if he had some one to lead him in the right direction he would be alive and very successful today. This is why it is important for are young black men to have positive role models in their lives so they dont turn out like yummy!

Teaching kids how to break up nicely

Last month Boston public health commission conducted a study that required 200 teens from Boston. The main focus of this one day conference was promote "Healthy Breakups," The author of this was trying to inform and persuade the reader to use healthy relationships.

I admire the fact that adults are doing something to help teens instead of complaining about teens. They are promoting healthy dating tips that can help teens who aren't currently in a relationship. I'm not currently in a relationship and i was able to benefit from this article.

To be completely honest i thought this article was going to be a complete bore, but surprisingly it wasn't. As i started to read along the article became more interesting. This article is very relatable. I'm sure that everyone knows at least one person who has experienced a Facebook breakup.

ABORTION. LEGAL?????

Abortion is a very controversial subject. Most people feel like abortion is killing a living creature, while others feel that abortion should be left up to the women to decide.

Many people say that when you have an abortion you are not killing a living human. Life begins at fertilization, therefore the fetus is alive. Also biology is 100% clear that since the organism has human D.N.A. and is the product of two humans it has human life.

Abortion is wrong. Yes, I know that its legal but the same government who legalized it is now against it. Many people say that it gives women freedom, but what exactly are they free from? Think about it! They may be physically free from a child they don't want, but they will always have an emotional connection to the child.

There is no reason to resort to abortion. If you have an abortion you will have an emotional connection to the child. If you give your child up for adoption you will still have an emotional connection to your child. The only difference is that with an abortion you will constantly think about what could have been.

I AM COMPLETELY AGAINST ABORTION!!!!!!!!!!!
