Cracking Teenagers Codes

     Danah Boyd is a senior researcher at Microsoft and a assistant professor at New York University, she talks about how parents and teachers worry about what we do on the internet, posting information about our-selves, bulling, and stexting. She explains that parents and teachers are worried about the wrong thing and since they worry so much our ability to go out and roam it taken away from us.
     In the article Boyd says,"Letting your child out to bike around the neighborhood is seen as terrifying now, even though by all measures, life is safer for kids today." she added, “We need to give kids the freedom to explore and experience things online that might actually help them,” she also added. “What scares me is that we don’t want to look at the things that make us uncomfortable. So rather than see what teenagers are showing us online about bullying and suicide and the problems they’re dealing with and using that information to help them, we’re making ourselves blind to it.”
     I highly agree because now if we kids don't get their feedom we might end up seeking around and doing things that were not supose to be doing. For instance some kids get in gangs, drugs, get pregnat, etc., and when the parents or guardian finds out that their kids are in this problem they wonder why they would do something like that. 

Crusies Disaster

         Many people have been talking about this for the pas few days. Passengers on the Costa Concordia were enjoying themselves drinking, playing, having fun, minding their own business, trying enjoy their little vacation, when all of a sudden the ship began to tilt and began to go on its side, and people began to panic and was frightened by the turning of the ship. Kids and mothers came out of the ship first then the men and sailors last.
          I believe that they should have been a little bit more cautious of where there head and must check the ship before  they leave. I'm sure that they checked the ship before they left out and took sail, but they have to try and keep in mind that they are carrying passengers. Some people have opinions on what had happened, like freshman Takirah Gauthney she said," I feel sorry for all those people that was part of that situation." 
        

Teaching Kids How to Break Up Nicely

    In "Teaching Kids How to Break Up Nicely" Benoit Denizet - Lewis talks about teens that break up over Facebook. Most of the teens in this article have been cyber dumped before.
     The aricle includes quotes from teens that have experienced being cyber dumped. Teens come to a conclusion that no one talks about relationships anymore. In the article a teen said, "No one talks to young people about this aspect of relationships."
     I believe that people should be able to sit aside, talk to their children about relationships and break ups. this article reminds me of one of my close friends that was cyber dumped and nearly commited suicide, but she didn't. She was later on take to a rehab for kids and she later got out, she's ok and doin well now and is very talented with singing.
 
   This article helps me realize that parents need to be able to pull their child aside and talk to them more, even spend a day with them show their kids that they care, that's really all we need love, and to know that you care.

Dead Bodies Found

    Around 2:30a.m, in Mexico City the police found ten men and three boy bodies at the gas station the investigators say that they had signs of being shot in their head. CNN says that, "Police found the bodies stacked outside a gas station convenience store in Zitacuaro, Mexico, around 2:30 a.m." The investigators found a small written note left on the crime scene, now they try to find out who commited this crime and what was the caused of these thirteen mens death. they also stated on CNN that," Michoacan, Mexican President Felipe Calderon's home state. Shortly after taking office in December 2006, he announced plans to deploy federal troops there to help the government's fight against organized crime."
    It's ashame how every day there's a new crime, it's like one can go with out a day with hurting somes feelings, or killing someone, especially someone close to you. While doing some research I found out that there are 45 crimes per day. It's just sad to know that there's always someone always dying or someone close to the point were there adout to die.

Plan B

   A decision made by Kathleen Sebelius to keep age restrictions on the purchase of the “morning after pill” Sebelius made it clear on the news."I made this decision was she could not be confident that a 10-year-old or an 11-year-old go into a drugstore, should be able - alongside bubble gum or batteries - be able to buy a medication that potentially, if not used properly, could end up having an adverse effect." I agree and disagree, I agree because teens and under are not suppose to be having babies at a young age and honesty should not be getting any type of medication over the counter, under the age of eight-teen. I disagree because most teens now a days are having kids at a very young age and will need this type of medication in order to get rid of any pain that may be bothering them. In CNN  news Obama says,  “As the father of two daughters,” Obama said. “I think it is important for us to make sure that we apply some common sense to various rules when it comes to over-the-counter medicine.” They also added that, "President Obama told reporters Thursday that he “did not get involved in the process,” but that he supports the decision."
