Cracking Teenagers Online Codes
I just read an article about a woman talking about teens and how they use the Internet. I agree with a lot of things she stated in the article and i believe that parents should read this article. She talked about how the Internet isn't as bad as adults think that it is. It can be a way for teens to vent when they cant talk to anyone. She believes that teens are on the Internet more anyway because parents don't let them have as much freedom as they should get. She says that everything that they do on the Internet they would most likely do in person. She talks about how adults thinks the Internet via facebook, twitter, etc. is unsafe because of predators but based on statistics it is more likely for a teen to get pried upon by someone they know personally then someone they met online. She said that kids should get more freedom to explore and experience things online that might actually help them. Also, in some situations teens may not be able to talk to any adults that they know so by them getting online they can find a consular that can maybe give them good advice and help them with their problems. She said that just like adults teens want privacy's also even online. Boyd said that "teenagers are using the Internet in a more productive and creative and less harmful than people think." She said that teenagers today are the same that they were before nothing really changes except for technology.

64 year old man beaten badly
I just read an articl about a 64 year old man that was beaten badly by six teens that go to Olney High School. Only two of the six teens are getting charged with something though. The man was simply minding his own bussiness and walking to the bus stop to go pick up his wife when these boys beat basically half to death and for no reason they did it because they thought that it would be fun. I think that is a shame and they deserve to go to jail but not just two of them. What makes it right to jump an old man. Especially when he didn't even say a word to them. It's a shame and it was irrelevant and t shouldn't even have occurred. the man that they attacked was a war vet. I think that if it was the other way around and someone beat their dad or something of that sort they would be outraged. It's not right at all. And people wonder why there are laws and other things that say we cant go out after certain times and stuff. It wouldn't be as much restrictions if teenagers knew how to act. And it messes it up for teens that are doing the right thing because now they cant go enjoy themselves and do whatever they wanted because people just don't know how to act like regular kids. The man has to lay in a bed in a hospital with a two broken orbitals, a fractured skull and a fractured jaw. His son who is a veteran like his father couldn't even look at his dad. That's really sad. And one of the boys who helped beat him is 15 years old that's the same age as me. His parents must be really ashamed and disappointed in him. I think that he shouldn't be the only one who is getting charged with this assault i believe that they all should since they all took part in it.

Teaching kids how to break up nicely
In the " Teaching kids how to break up Nicley". Benoit Denizet- Lewis talks about how teens break up in the unhealthy ways. She asks teens about their experiences. Lewis held a meeting. During the meeting the teens where aloud to use their cell phones freely. Lewis had quotes from teens also. a seventeen year old named Robert said " racing to update your staus after a break up is healthy behavior" While sixteen year old Lazangie disagreed with Robert. Also, a fifteen year old girl stated that she learned that her girlfriend of two years had dumped her only when she had changed her relationship status to single. I think that this is an interesting topic to talk abut because you can get alot of feedback on this topic, and alot of teens would know at least one situation where as though it was a relationship that ended unhealthy. Before i read this article i didn't think of breaking up via facebok or text message of being unhealthy. Now that i have this article i think that its unhealthy. I think hat this is an important article because this can solve a lot of issues with teen break ups. Also, it can make it more personal. I think that people shouldn't break up via facebook or text message. I believe that that should brake up in person. so that whatever problems they have they can just talk it out in person. I think that this problem could be solved by teens breaking up in person but i think that most teens wont want to brake ups in person because they don't have enough confidence.

Playtime for pre schoolers essential
I just read an article called playtime is essential for pre schools. The article was bout how young children should get more active and be able to go outside more in school. It talked about how allot children 2 through 19 are obese. In the article it says that most day cares and pre schools say that they don't worry about playtime because the parents are more concerned about the learning and academics then they are the activities. Researchers said that but by the kids getting time outside it also increases their brain development it does so by the child using skills that they use in the classroom in real solutions. I agree with the researchers i think that its a good idea for children for to get more active and have playtime. According to the article parents should be more interested in rather their kids are active in school. The articles said that children spend more time in the classroom then outside. Also, that playgrounds have to be up to date on the on their equipment, and that the equipment that they do have isn't as fun because kids aren't allowed to use them in the way they want because its not safe.
