Myspace Cyber-bullying

There was a recent story on a girl named Megan Meier who commited suicide because of cyber-bullying. This is an epidemic that has to be stopped before it gets so out of hand that no one is able to stop it. this girl had been arguing with a neighboors daughter. the girls mother made a fake mayspace account of a boy that befriended Meier. He soon began to slander her name and post disturbing things about her on myspace. Megan Meier later hung herself in her closet becuase of this.

Cyber-bullying is being taken to the point where everyone is invovled with it, even parents bulying children. this needs to be stopped because you never know a child or anyone will take to the mean and horrible things you say. There is achance that they may not react to it but there is still the possiblility that they may harm themselves and others.

Is Facebook Helpful?

Many believe that facebook is one of the most helpful sites on the internet. which in most cases it is. but facebook can be helpful to people ing ood ways and or bad ways. For example, there was a story on ABC recently about a girl from Reinhardt University who found her bith family though Facebook. She was reunited with her family and now never regrets using Facebook as a means of finding them. Facebook is also used as a way to communicate with friends and family without having to waste mintues on the phone or txting charges.

But there is always a bad side to things. There are people who use facebook to wead out people who they think will not be good for a job. then there are those who again lvoe to stalk others or are predators.

Is the email soon to be pointless?

I Look closely at people and see nobody uses the Internet to send regular emails anymore. What is up with that? I can tell you one thing,  email accounts for the younger generation is honestly pointless. We do not use it and the only time we would use it is to email are teachers letting them know we wont be in class because of whatever excuse we have.

With that being said about our generation, what about the generations after us? They wont have an email account probably until the get to college. Kids now a days have cell phones as early as the ages of 10,11, 12 etc. I remember my first cell phone wasn't until I was 16.

Now, since kids have cell phones early, why have an email account? Kids talk to their friends through text message, and instant messages. Have you ever ever heard any kids tell their friend email me, we will talk? No they say text me, and or I will talk to you online. The generations that come after us, emails will become pointless until they get to college.
