cracking teenagers Online Codes

34 year old Dana Boyd is a Senior researcher at Microsoft, An assistant professor at New York University and fellow at Berkman center for internet and society. she is someone that studies the reason its good for children to explore the internet. she thinks that it is okay for children to be on the internet and communicate with other people their age, or with adults that can help them in different situations. In fact, she thinks that children should be on the internet more than they do today. she says its more safer being on the internet then being out in the public. she says that being oline can help you get to know people that you normally wouldnt talk to in public somewhere. she says that parents, teachers, and schools worry about this type of behavior that children around the world has becoming apart of. the worry is that teenagers might post things about their life, depressing poetry and much more. some might worry that their child could be talking to preditors, or could be getting picked on by bullies. she talks mostly about this because she feel as though the primission to roam the internet had been destroyed. she can relate to this because, she had the same issues growing up as a child. at age 16 she questioned her life. she didnt think that she was going to live very long, she believed that she would die at  age 21. people she knew died because of multiple reasosn such as suicide. Dana Boyd said that the internet saved her life. she say that getting to know people was a good thing for her. she realized that there were smart people in  the world. i think that its a good thing for a child to have a good amount on the internet. children often learn more from online friends, and different web sites. its helps you learn new things that you would have never knew about if you were to have a face to face conversations with someone. i dont think its a dangerious thing, its actually fun and interesting.a child should always learn something new on their own. thats the way they can understand life more, while being on the internet.

misbehaved children

children misbehave for multiple reasons. they misbehave at all ages in their life. if they don't know why their children are acting the way they do, they will have no guidance or ways to handle the situation. children need to feel and understand that they belong in a home or belong to their parents. this could include friends, family members, teachers, that make them think that they have to gain membership or be accepted. even if a child gets some attention they might look at things better and differently. children that don't get enough attention or spend enough time with their parents act up or get in trouble to be noticed. they act up because of the lack of confidence. even raising a kid not so good when their growing up, could stay with them forever which makes then feel as thought they need to act a different way in life towards everyone. some kids model the behavior of their parents. children that do this watch a listen to what their parent do. they think since they are adults, its okay to act that way.kids put their anger and sadness into their actions. i think that the different behavior of children has to be something that they saw before or aware of that type of action. kids that act as if they are not wanted is a behavior that has to do with the parent. i say this because most kids don't like to be home with their parent. getting attention is very important for a child. parents often don't give a lot of attention to their child because their job they have to do. or other children they have to attend to.

teaching kids how to break up nicely

  •  Teaching kids how to break up nicely was written by Benoit Denizet Lewis. in the article it talks about situations on Facebook, and the break ups that happen on this website. it says that late last month, 200 teenagers from boston-area schools gathered to discuss the details of Facebook break up etiquette. some of the adolescent questions were part of a one-day conference of " healthy breakups". this is shocking because this is something that is really known all around the world. my opinion on this topic is that it could be thought about in many ways. updating a relationship status and not telling the person it wrong, because they should have an agreement. deleting someone on Facebook is okay. i say this because you choose who you want to be your friend, so you should be able to choose who you don't want to be friends with anymore. a Facebook breakup is not always true. its not always true because the two people might still be boyfriend and girlfriend. if you break up with you boyfriend or girlfriend, in some situations i think you should still talk to them as a friend. i say this because if the was a mutual agreement of why you aren't together anymore thats okay. its okay because even thought you are not together you can have some type of agreement in conversations. its not okay when you break up without coming to an agreement. its still unsolved conflict between the two. there shouldn't be anything to talk about in that type of situation. there was nothing positive happening when it could have been worked out. so people should always know what they are getting them selfs into, because you never know what is waiting for you at the end

teen bullying

teen bullying ins a big thing in the world today. its not a thing that happens sometimes, it happens all the time, everyday, all day. theres a lot of reasons it happens to so many children of different ages. for instance children do not want to go to school because they are afraid. they are afraid of what might happen to then at anytime they are walking the halls. that type of thing has kids worried about their life. it is worst when parent, friends and teachers are not doing anything about it. they might not take it as serious. when someone is constantly getting teased by someone or more than one person, thats the most known type of bullying.some reasons why kids get bullied is because of their appearance or social status. such as if they are quiet, shy or they look like they don't fit in. some kids get bullied physically, they might be getting punched, pushed or shoved. others may get bullied sexually. verbal bulling is another, the bully might use cruel language to intimidate the person. messaging them or posting things on websites, which is known as cyber bullying. once the bulling is continuing, that puts the person in a lot of fear. boys and girls might suffer not getting school work done. they might  not be able to get school work done because they are not eating lunch at school, because they might not want to eat in the lunchroom. the study of this could cause stress, depression, anxiety, or might want to commit suicide. i think bullying is a bed thin to do to one another. i don't think anyone should be bullied, because everybody  should be able to live their life as they want.  bullying is a bad thing, a lot of parents should know a out this type of stuff. the kids that are getting bullied should say something about what is going on with their everyday life. this is something serious to all ages. its something that should be done more about.

Animal neglect

The world we live in today there are a lot of neglect happening, one having to do with animals. this has to do with people not giving them the right care. this includes leaving them without food, shelter or water. it could be something inside of the caretaker, that gives then the intension to neglect animals. their life style might not be the best, something in their childhood might give them the intensions of doing the wrong thing. purina developed the body condition, this help judge if the pet appearance is normal or not. emaciated: backbones, pelvic bones, are prominent from a distance, body fat is not visible and loss off muscle mass. very thin: ribs, backbones easily visible no palpable fat. heavy: heavy fat cover, palpable ribs are difficult. overweight: waist is discernable viewed from above. i think that animal neglect should be watches more, because no animal should be abused and nothing happen to that person. animals are living things just like us, and should be treated like us. abusing a animal shouldn't be a way of letting ager out. an excuse of someones life shouldn't be a reason of doing bad things to an animal. animals have feelings just live we do, they get emotional,  they want to be happy. people that are abusing animals obviously don't care about anyones life but their own. they should be put in jail. if you buy a pet you should always and remain to take care of it with love as if it was a child. there are a lot of animals getting put into shelters and neglect homes because of the bad things their owner has done to them.

deadly mushrooms

It has been said that people have got confused with the different type of mushrooms, the ones that are edible and the ones that are not edible. it was the death cap mushroom that caused all of this to happen. canberra Australian health officials said that it killed two people and sickened another. the mushroom was served with a private meal at a restaurant on new years day.  the Sydney Morning herald  had reported that he had served 3 people at a chinese Bistro. the chief and a 52 year old women died at sydney hospital, the newspaper reported that the third person was in critical condition. health authorities had to warn residents not to confuse the edible mushrooms with the deadly mushrooms. the death cap mushroom grow near oak trees, found in warm climates that are wet. they also can be found in the autumn months. they are smooth silky mushrooms, and their color changer from white to greenish-brown. i think that there should be some way where no one should die over someone not now that the mushroom is deadly. i also think food restaurants shouldn't be able to buy them if they kill people. i think the whole thing could have been prevented if the people were sure about what they were serving to people. people should be notified if they are edible or un-edible. many more people could have died because of the mushroom, a lot of people don't k ow what a deadly mushroom looks like.

2011 diet neews

In 2011 there was a talk about diets. it talks about what is our body really doing when we put food into our mouth. also what should we eat and not eat to prevent any other or unhealthy things that could be bad for our bodies. they even came up with the food pyramid, to help people understand more about their different eating categories. the U.S. department of Agriculture came up with the new food pyramid, they mad it into a dinner plate dividing it up into sections. it contains fruit, veggies, grains, protein, and a side cup of dairy.  the food pyramid was a good idea to start with, my opinion on the new food pyramid is that its a new and better way to help anybody of any age wanna take their heath more serious. the food pyramid has everything, it tells you what you should eat, shouldn't , and what you should eat sometimes. i think they should renew the food pyramid every year. i say this because our heath is very something we have to deal with in our everyday lives. it could better the heath habits in america or even all over the world. there could be less obesity for all ages, less lives would be at risk of not living long.
