One Direction

 One Direction or our new teen sensation is over the top. Kids and teens all over the world are watching videos like 'What makes you beautiful' and others. Going on right now is the 'I want to win a trip to NYC to see One Direction contest. Teens all over are posting this link to be able to participate. http://www.kiss108.com/common/shareme5/index.php?linkid=61343 The link that gets the most visits gets to be the winner for the trip.
 Sounds too good to be true, right? Another way for kids to get credit for the link views is by posting the 'What makes you beautiful video.' Could this be a scam? I personally checked it out and no viruses were imbedded into my hard drive or anything like that. It seems pretty safe. Well in the case that it's real click on the link as many times as you can.  If not just copy and paste and you should be good. Thanks. The video I wasn't able to upload for my lack of skills. In all cases I probly won't win the trip. Even if I did my condition wouldn't allow it. Thanks again for reading my blog.

IMVU- What are our children getting into?

            Imvu is just like all those other mingling websites. The site mainly targets children. Yet it is not really a child's environment and it is definitely not something we would want our children to socialize with. Imvu is insidious-apparently harmless but can be quite damaging. The people who have an account can socialize with almost anyone in the world. The users spend credits to buy products. There are many ways to get credits but the easiest is to buy them with actual money. The more raunchy products can only be accessed through the VIP membership. Users can also have virtual partners (boyfriend's, girlfriends) which they can even get married to. The users may be prone to having virtual sex. The users may also be a part of cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is easily done on this site because you can be completely anonymous. Things like "You're ugly" are actually quite common. The worst is that your child could have an account and you wouldn't even know.  It is definitely not something I would want my child to be a part of. Users out there use site at your own risk.

School Fieldtrips

"If I die young, bury me in satin, lay me down,
On a bed of roses, sink me in the river, at dawn,
Send me away with the words of a love song."
I find it quite amusing that my school would make us walk a mile to a Cemetary than rather pay for it. To top it all off that was our fieldtrip's destination. I can't lie it was quite fun when my friends and I joked about zombies and started singing 'If i die young'. What I didn't enjoy was actually eating lunch at the cemetary. In all it was fun but I found it ridiculous our school couldn't afford an actual trip to some awesome place. Mostly because our school doesn't get any government or state help so our only good trips are so expensive for the individual student. Well in all I love my school.

Big and Little Problems

           Today we had our Big's and Little's reunion at school. What that is is that all the Big's get together with the new kid that comes to our school. That's why they are called little's. When I was new I was a little. Today was my first time being a Big and my only time. Sadly to say my little didn't show up, so lucky me was bored helping out the teacher and things. Well needless to say I think more schools should have a program like this. It is actually a lot of fun. The program includes fieldtrips that only participating members can be a part of. That alone I think is great.

45 Notecards and A Thesis

My school is pretty awesome but I have to admit they make us do lots of pointless busy work. I mean we started a research paper in the first week of school and we havent even started the paper yet in the third week of school because we had to do our research and write it on notecards. What is worst is we have to use MLA format because it is required. All this really is is busy work. Well hopefuly someone puts a thinking cap on and says "Hey what we are doing to these kids is not helping them in any way!" That's called wishful thinking folks and that's all for today.

Couch Potato's

Wow my first blog was kind of depressing for my first time. It should have been fun and exciting. Oh! And my dad is taking us out to the park!!!!!! Sad but true. I love the park though. It is great, free entertainment and excercise. To all those who like vegetating get out of the house and do something for  once. We sit at home wondering why the U.S has such a problem with obesity yet we won't even take a step out of the living room. Don't get me wrong I love being a couch potato but I also love being active. If you are having trouble losing weight I bet you ten dollars (not really) that if you were to regularly do some sort of physical activity then you would lose some weight. Accept the challenge and you will be happy you did.                        Over and out.

Good Ole Days

        Have you ever wondered why things are so tough? Have you ever wondered why the weather gets more extreme everyday? Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror and have not been happy with what you found? I for one am pretty sure many have said yes to at least one of these. I dont have the answers to anything really but I do like to ponder once in a while what would my life be like if one small thing was changed in the past. Would I even exist? One thing for sure is I used to miss what it was like to be young. Funny thought though because relatively speaking I'm not old. Yet life hits you hard many times which makes life seem long and short lived at the same time.
