Cracking Teenagers Online Codes

Now and days everyone has a profile on a social network. Dr. Danah Boyd is a senior researcher at Microsoft. She explains why teenagers spend most of they're time on the internet. She says that we spend most of our time on the internet because of the fact that most of our parents don't feel safe with letting us outside. Where as though we could get on the internet and be on their as long and as late as we want, there's violence on the streets so we feel like it better to be in front of a computer screen. I some what agree with what she said, about how our parents won't let us outside because of the violence. She says don't really understand why parents would rather us be on the internet not knowing what we're doing and could posibily be putting our selves in danger by talking to people we don't know. But my mom knows about what i do on the internet,  she my follower on "Twitter", and my friend on "Facebook". I can understand that some people parents are not like mine and they don't pay as much attention. Not everyone does bad things on the internet, all parents just need  pay a little more attention and you wont have to worry.

Biggest story of 2011

In my opinion, the biggest story of 2011 is when Oprah Winfrey said she was done with her talk show. Many people were surprised, many people look up to oprah. She announced that she was moving to her own network channel, called OWN. I watch it sometimes with my great grandmother, she gives away gifts just like how she does on her old talk show. Many people were upset that she was retireing from her talk show, until they realized that she was going to start a TV Network. Oprah hosted the “Oprah” show for 25 seasons. From 1986 until 2011, it was the highest rated talk show in American television history. Some say her show was mainly watched because of the topics she talked about and the guests that attended it. According to research, many people attended the “Oprah Winfrey Show” because of the gifts she would give out to the audience. They say she used to give out things like Ipods, laptops, and many more expensive items. There were 4,561 running episodes, from 1986 to 2011. Oprah appeared on other shows  and movies like “The Proud Family”, lots of people know about Oprah and how famous she is, and many people love her. People like myself wondered why Oprah stopped doing her Talk show, according to www.huffingtonpost.com “ she ended her show because she felt as if 25 years was enough of teaching and learning from her audience.” Although Oprah has ended her talk show thousands of people all over America still watch her on her Network OWN, Maybe you should try also, you might enjoy.

The Game

Last week on tuesday, the fifth season of the hit series "The Game" premiered on BET. They say 3.5 million people tuned into the show that night. This show popular all around, millions of people watch it. For the first three seasons, it was showed on the CW, and BET now it is on BET. No one knows why they switched channels. Its about a group of football players and their personal problems, girlfriends, groupies, ect. In my opinion it is a very amusing show. I watch it because of the suspenseful drama. My favorite  characters of the show are Melanie and Derwin because they keep you wondering what's going to happen next. I like Derwin because he's cute, and he really care about Melanie the way he should. I like Melanie because she cares for him the same. They are such a cute couple. This is one of my favorite TV shows because of that couple.

Casey Anthony

Lately there has been a word around that a woman named Casey Anthony that killed her own child. It was told that she was charged with murdering her 2 year old daughter. They say that her daughter Caylee Anthony was missing for 31 days. But she did not report her missing. Which puts her under "guilty" , most parents would report their child missing the day it happens. When it was figured out that she was missing, she told the people that she thinks that the baby sitter kid napped her. They say that was false information just to cover up the absence. The reason for her to lie so much is because she was sexually abused by her father her whole so she was taught to lie about everything. Because they don't have enough information to sentence her to jail, she was found not guilty. After six weeks of court ,she was found not guilty on Tuesday 10, 2012. I honestly think that she should be prosecuted for the rest of her life, the people know that she's lying, therefore she should go to jail. But im not on the jury, if i was i would make sure she was sentenced.

Facebook Breakups


In late August, there was an article published by Nicole Daley. It was about trying to show teens how to breakup in a nice way. She says that lately teens have been using Facebook to breakup with their spouse. She says facebook breaks up relationships, because after a relationship is almost at its end, they run to their computer to change their relationship status. But they never know if they spouse was just ready to call to work things out, but they ruined it by changing their relationship status to single. That person should have talked about their relationship status before changing it. 17 year old Robert says "When its over, its over" he added " After a relationship is over, i rush to my computer to change my status" "it makes the other person mad because i got there first." Most of the time relationships do get ruined because of Facebook. I know this, from personal experiences. My friend just got a new boyfriend and an a hour after she changed he relationship status. Only thing was that her boyfriend from the past(which she was still talking to) was her friend on facebook. About five minutes after she pressed the "post" button her ex was on the phone asking her all these questions about her new status. She must've forgot that they were friends on facebook and he wouldn't see it. After about 20 minutes of all the questions, her new boyfriend started to get jealous, and broke up with her . I guess he figured out that she was still talking to her ex. By the end of the night she was changing her Facebook status to "single". So all the hype to change her status and she ruined a relationship that hasn't really started yet. Who knows what the outcome of that relationship could've been, it could've been good.

Beyonce's Baby !!

Beyonce Knowles has finally given birth to her first child. Beyonce welcomed a healthy baby girl with her husband, Jay-Z, Saturday night at a private hospital in New York City. The baby was named Blue Ivy Carter. Some people thought and still do think that beyonce was lying and she wasnt having a baby. No one knows for sure, because when the baby was born in a private hospital, where no one else was allowed to enter. It was told that beyonce and jay-z brought the whole hospital for that day, it was said that they paid 1.3 million. Why would someone pay all that money if they weren't really having a baby? That just doesn't make sense! There has been some confusion with name of the baby, some s ay Ivy Blue Carter and Some say Blue Ivy Carter. My opinion who really cares i wish people just worry about they self . Instead of thinking about if Beyonce had a baby or not.

Abortion

 Abortion shouldn't such a big deal if the female and or family is not physically or mentally ready for a baby.  Some people are getting preganant young, (in their teens). Most likely if you get preganant young your parents wont  them to keep the baby because they are children themselves.  Some teens may disagree with their parents, so they may end up thrown out their parents house. If so where will the preganant clueless teen do then, what type of childhood do you think that will be for both the teen and the new baby. The baby could end up living in a shelter or worst living on the street. Most teens boys wont be ready which mean they most likely would leave the teen mom alone with a new born baby to take care of. Most of the time teens dont have a job, therefore in the time that the baby is still new born the cant attend in a job. So in that time how will there be able to care for the baby?
