Social Networking

When is Social Networking taken too far???? Who really knows I mean everyone has different ways of expressing themselves threw Myspace, Twitter, Facebook, and other social networking sites. Although others feel like it's ok to publicize their private lives and expose their bodies on the Internet, it truly shouldn't be done. For instance, our school had a scandal on Facebook dealing with students from class of 2010, which displayed rumors about many of the seniors, mainly rumors that weren't true. Also for someone to do something so shallow was wrong in my eyes, it basically made it seem like they had no life. Airing dirty laundry that isn't yours isn't right, and even if it is yours, just have enough respect for your self and just keep it to your self.I personally think it's a great way to interact with fellow friends and classmates, especially ones whom you haven't spoken to in years. I also keep in touch with my family threw Myspace and Facebook. Social networking can be fun and that's why it was created, so don't abuse the privileges that we have because it might just mess up opportunities for other users.

Teen Pregnancy

Teen pregnancy is something that many teens go through at a early age, unexpectedly finding out that they are now pregnant. When this happens there is much responsibility that comes along with it. For instance, more work at school, less quality time with friends, and any other extra-curricular activities. It may create an emotional crisis for yourself including shame and fear, you may give in to peer pressure much more than usual. The stress will eventually build up, leading to you telling your parents, and others that are really close to you. Also finding help to support your child, being able to finish work in class, and trying to live your life the way you want. All of this can be avoided by using protection, and making sure the female is on birth-control to prevent pregnancy, or just plain abstinence. The United States has the highest rates of teenage pregnancy and births in the western industrialized world. Teen pregnancy costs the United States at least $7 billion annually. Every year around 750,000 teenagers will get pregnant, and more than 2/3 of all teenagers who have a baby will not graduate from high school.

TYRA'S BACK IN SHAPE!!!!!!

Since the super model Tyra Banks has retired from modeling she has put on a few pounds. Which means she hasn't been worrying about her weight, so she has definitely been in the lime light of gossip. Tyra being the person she is she just didn't care about what the critics said, she also told the Media to kiss her fat a--. Banks felt as though young girls looked up to her because she wasn't the average size 0-3; but with critics calling her names and criticizing her weight that then lowers the self esteem of those young girls, AND TYRA AS WELL. Tyra said, "It's not her weight gain or personal issues that caused her pain, but the sharp words from critics". Although now since her show has started back, Tyra has lost over 30 lbs and living her life fabulously. Previously wearing the sizes 14-16 she is now a sexy size 8, and flaunting her figure vigorously. But after all of this now their criticizing her for losing too much weight. I feel that the media talks about you period no matter what, but this really hurts people, and it shouldn't be done. I personally love Tyra and she is one of my long term IDOLS, I also love her shows "ANTM", and the "Tyra Show". I salute Tyra for being the strong courageous person she is, she's my inspiration.
