Blog Post of the Day:

Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.

I agree with this post wholeheartedly, teens should not be laying around doin nothing. for all i care they should do something that will benefit their community, build a small (safe) structure. babysit, do school work, work at the animal shelter. DO SOMETHING  USEFUL, AND STOP COMPLAINING WHEN YOUR BORED. YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE NOT YOU ENTERTAINMENT, NEITHER IS YOUR PHONE, THOSE WONT LAST FOR-EVER.

Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the internet are 'free game' - if someone posted it, I should be able to use it."

I do not Agree with this statement. I do not agree, because if its not your picture then don't use it, if you didn't take the picture don't act as if you did take it. that's stealing.

Blog Post of the Day:
What is a Public Service Announcement? If you don't know what it is, Google it. In your own words, now tell me what it is? What are they used for? Can you recall an example of a PSA you've seen before?

A public service announcement is when a reporter, broadcaster, etc,  inform an area of  a local, or something like that problem. One announcement that is the most resent, is the Ferguson , Missouri.

After watching the short clip of Ashton Kutcher's acceptance speech what did you take away from his advice? What does this quote mean to you -"Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you, and you can change it, you can influence it, you can build your own things that other people can use."

When the clip was over it made sense. You have to live your life the way you want to live it, not the way others live theirs,  make you life unique, special. You are the building block to others that will come after you've gone to the next life, you can either help pull them up high towards their goal, or you can drag them back down farther than wear they were. you have to be able to withstand the enemy to be able to clime higher than you thought you could. You can make as big of a difference to the world around you, or you can make a small impact that will star a chain reaction. most people who are alive to day are to afraid to do what they know is the right thing, others chose to stay in the shadows, then there are the people who refuse to just stand and watch  and do some thing about it, which one are you, the bystander, hider in the dark, or the DO-ER?
