Have you ever thought back to your old school life? Like 6th grade from 8th grade? Well, my teacher says I have to, so lets go~!

      Now, what seems to be the same? Well, I have two of the same teachers. I have some of the same friends. I go to the same school (obviously.) Uh, (can’t remember 6th grade) I still get good grades (hopefully.)

     Finally, an easier one. I have different teachers. I had less fieldtrips than before, and I have a promotional this time. Oh! I get to use a computer for class! And it was a lot more fun this year!

      So, I have a lot that are the same, and even more that’s different! I know this essay was kinda sucky, so if you don’t like it, don’t read it. Kinda late for that…

   My project went quite well actually. It was fun researching something I really like for once. I hope there are more projects where you choose what to do. It…actually was very fun. Especially since it’s AKATSUKI!!!!

   No, there were no problems in finding the info I needed. In fact, It was too easy. There are a lot of sites where people write about Akatsuki, or more in general, Naruto, which is my favorite anime! So, yeah, nothing went wrong. Thank you for your concern.

Cyber-bullying Research Guide

Directions

Read the four website articles.  Follow the outline below to help you take notes and write your composition.

I. Intro

   Cyber-bullying. The newest form. One that has developed into our new age of the internet and far away communication. Some have taken advantage of this to mess with others, and not just kids and teens. Adults have become involved as well. Can we stop this before it gets out of hand?

II.  What is cyber-bullying?

   A form of bullying that takes place on through online means such as e-mail, IMs, MySpace,texts, etc. From sending hurtful or threatening messages to posting nasty bulletins, there are virtually many ways for bullies to oppress the weak on the internet.

III.  What are the effects of cyber-bullying?

   People can become depressed, and lose their quality of life. They can become screwed up and eventually snap. And the consequences of that, I can only imagine. But it has happened. They might even become convinced that life is so unbearable, they should end it for themselves, as in the case of Ryan Halligan from Oregon, or Meagan Meier from
Washington.

IV.  How can cyber-bullying be prevented?

   The best way is to tell them to make sure they know who they’re talking to. Try and warn them of the dangers they face, and hope they can cope. Hope that they can make the right choice. You can also monitor their messages, but that would be an invasion of privacy to them, and you need that particular trust.

V.  Conclusion

   In conclusion, a great many things, learned, I have. Cyber-bullying is a very dangerous form of bullying. It has caused some to die. And the best ways to prevent this are not good enough. We must strive for a better solution, for the good of many.

       You know what’s a great movie? The Outsiders. You should go watch it. I recommend it. It is a heartfelt movie based on the hit bestseller novel by S.E. Hinton. In it is a story set in the 1950s, but the morals can be applied to any generation.

       Ponyboy is a teen Greaser. Greasers have always been enemies of the rich East-side Socs. But one night, Ponyboy and his friend Johnny accidentally kill a Soc named Bob. Now, with the help of Dally Winston, they are on the run, in a race for their lives!

       Today is a day of grieving indeed. One of our number has left us forever. Many students and teachers mourn for her, and their loss.Even the sky itself seemed to mourn for her too. All are affected today, whether you know it or not, like it or not. But none should deny that it happened, but accept that it did, and try to move on. Acceptance is the first step to recovery.

       Now, why didn’t the skate park creators consider adding bathrooms in the first place? Who forgets to pput it in? Or a crosswalk? In future, these problems should be amended. If not, more accidents are inevitable.
