Social Networking

Every teenager feels the urge to stay connected with friends through the Internet. That is where they get to see the latest gossip, who is dating who, and new pictures to make fun of. Research has shown that it has made a very big negative impact. People go through very hard bullying through the internet. They might get mean and vulgar comments from other people. The problem about this, is that they probably would not do that to the persons face. Also, people really say what they feel through MSN, or Facebook. They don't go up to people anymore, or even write letters. That is also something that is not good because it has completely changed the whole system of things. It can also get very dangerous. It could be possible that a stalker makes its way through to children who don't really know what they are doing because the trust the person. Parents should really keep a close eye on kids, or tell them how it is supposed to be properly used. Of course, without exaggerating. Staying connected can be a very nice thing, as long as it is in good control.

  1. wow.The first line descrbibes perfectly what;s going on.What you said about tghe negativeimpact seems impressive with me because people's social satus and selfesteem can end up falling into pieces. Even it canr reveal a person who they really aren't. Parents should totally be aware. Fernanda I liked how you give many points about this things taht are threatening our sosicety and can't be stopped now.Control is all it's needed. Children should learn on how to deal with this stalkers and this pedophiles or even how to solve problems without loosing their way of ebing and their inocence.Your post gives a lot to think about. The ending is great because you get to satate that it can be good you just need to understand it.

  2. Fernanda, I agree with your topic. Every teenagers has the urge to be communicated with all of their friends.
    We want to be updated of what are the news and everything that is going on in our school etc.
    Also I agree when you say that many people are victims of bullying through Internet.
    Also when you talk about stalkers you're absolutely right. You mentioned very important details about the video.

  3. Yes, I agree with you Fer this is so true of what ACTUALLY is going on with this situation. The internet IS NOT a bad resource to use if you use it the RIGHT way. Also be careful with it. Good Job :)

  4. Fer, I agree with you!(: We totaly use internet to do those kind of things. I also think that it's true that no one goes to the person's face and tell them what they really think or feel aboout them. Other thing, us as teenagers know that we should not put adresses or phone numbers in internet because we don't know what kind of people is really looking at it. I think that the parents should really keep an eye on their 11 or even 12 year old kids. Also to the younger ones that are learning how to use the internet.
