Boy Bullied to Death...

it was so sad and disturbing to hear about the boy who had committed suicide after being bullied repeatedly. I'm no expert on raising children, bullying or suicide but from experience, I believe that everything a child does relates back to something or someone at home.

Bullying never seems serious until someone gets seriously injured. People never know the extent of the bullying until someone ends up dead. This is not the first story like this. When will people learn?

I read that the mother of the boy went up to the boy's school a couple times to complain about the way her child was being treated. Nobody did anything to stop it though. Now there is a dead 11-year-old boy.

Parents, not just those of the bullied victims but those of the bullies themselves, need to look for signs. Parents and all adults must realize that the victims of bullying are not going to want to tell anybody

Twitter Taking Over

I have been hearing a lot about this Twitter website lately. I'm getting the vibe that this is the new fab.

For me, the webpage phase all began with a website called "Blackplanet". I may have been in middle school or just starting high school when I was using Blackplanet. I now have a facebook and a myspace account.

I've heard that Twitter is just like another facebook where you just write down what you are doing in the status. So i decided to check it out for myself.

To me, it did not seem as interestin gor fascinating as myspace or facebook. It looked plain and boring.

I do not believe that I will be joining the band waggon of Twitter. I will stick to facebook and myspace.

The End is Coming

I never really got back in the groove of things after returning from Christmas break and now the end of the semester has arrived. It truly snuck up on me.

This is the stressful part. This is the time of the year where three projects are due around the same time and you have to study for like five exams at once.

Oh, how I hate this part. Everything always seems so impossible, but somehow, I always make it through. I have one project down with one more to go. I have four exams to study for.

I am ready for the summer. I will be taking an online course in speech to keep myself ahead so that I can graduate early. I will also be working at a shoe store. Somewhere in between class and work, I will see about interning at ETV!

Wish me luck with projects, exams and the summer!
