Cyber Bullying

Introduction
Cyber bullying is also known as electronic bullying or online social cruelty. It is also define as bullying through email, instant messaging, in a chat room, on a website or gaming site, and also through digital messages or images sent to a cellular phone.

My Review
After watching the videos, my review is why do they need to cyber bully each other? Is there any satisfaction? Cyber bullying can happen through the cyber world, for example through email and instant messaging.

Parents are also responsible for their children. They need to communicate with their children about their online experiences such as explaining about Internet Safety and appropriate use of technologies. Parents can make it clear that using the Internet or cellular phones to embarrass or hurt others’ feelings is not part of their family values.


 For educators, they can teach students how to safe blogging, and how to monitor their online reputation. Many universities encourage lecturers to keep blogs where class and homework assignments are posted for students to review. Students are asked to post assignments online. As you asked us to post our assignments online :) Providing tips on appropriate posting and online etiquette as part of incorporating more technology in the classroom is critical.  In addition schools need clear policies against bullying and cyber bullying, and bullying prevention programs in their schools. 


As a student, we also must not support mean material, gossip, or rumors online. We can also support a friend being targeted online by posting positive messages. Talk with an adult also can help.

Dear Friend,

        Hello. It feels like such a long time since the last time I saw you. How are you doing? Great? I hope you're doing fine. I heard that you undergo some kind of depression. Is that true my dear friend? Why are you depressed? The teenage years can be tough, and it's normal to feel sad or irritable every now and then. The good news is that you don't have to feel this way. Help is available. All you have to do is ask. Come, let me point out some suggestion on how to make yourself feel better.

        You can ask for help if you are stress. Stress and worry can lead to serious depression. Talk to your teacher or a counselor if exams or classes seem overwhelming. If you have a health concern and you feel you can't talk to your parents about it such as pregnancy scare or drug problem, seek for medical attention at a clinic or see a doctor. A health professional also can guide you towards appropriate treatment. If you are dealing with relationship, friendship, or even family problems, you should talk to an adult that you can trust.

         When you're depressed, you may not feel like seeing anybody or doing anything. but isolating yourself only can makes depression even worse. Go out and enjoy. By socializing, you may find yourself feeling better. Spend your time with your friends, especially those who are active, upbeat, and make you feel good about yourself. Please, avoid hanging out with those who abuse drugs or alcohol. They will get you into trouble and will make you feel insecure. It's also a good idea to limit the time you spend playing video games or surfing online.

         By changing your lifestyle, it also can change your mood. Things like diet and exercise have been proved to help depression. From exercising, you can actually get a rush of endorphins which makes you feel happier. Physical activities can be as effective as medications or therapy for depression. So, get involved in sports, play some outdoor games, ride your bike. Any activity that helps. Even a short walk around your neighbourhood can be beneficial. Moreover, improper diet can make you feel tired and worsen depression symptoms. Your body need nutrients such as iron. Make sure you're taking plenty of fruits and vegetables. You can also talk to your parents or a doctor about how to ensure your diet is suitable for you body.


        You are not alone my dear friend. You might be surprised at how many other teens suffer from depression. Even though it feels like the depression will never disappear, it will eventually disappear with the proper treatment and healthy choices. In the meantime, you might need therapy or medications to help you to sort out your feeling. Share your problems with your parents. I'm sure they will help you. Don't worry. If medications is being considered, do your research before making a decision because some antidepressants is used for adults and can actually make teens feel even worse.


         

Lots of love,

Syaza

Article review (Mean Mom - A true story)

Link for my article. Click here.

Mother. Mother is the one who give birth to us. If we didn't respect our mother, then who will? The mother is the one supreme asset of national life. She is more important by far than the successful statesman, or business man, or artist, or scientist. Motherhood is a rewarding and often difficult job. A mother is a child's first teacher and affects a child's life like few others can. Effective mothers can inspire their sons and daughters to love themselves and others, work hard, make healthy choices, serve causes greater than self, and achieve their dreams. Mothers who protect, teach, and nurture their children with all their hearts strengthen their families and help build a better future for the planet.

I choose this article because it motivates children how to be grateful for everything you have. In this article, she said she have the meanest mother in the whole world. This statement motivates children that not only their mother who always being mean to them. There's a few children out there who "suffer" this kind of problem.

In this article, a women who has always "suffer" from her mother when she was young, expressing her feelings in this article. She said her mom treat her differently from her friends. Her mother will beat her using a belt just because she disobeyed her instructions. Her mother also force her to sleep by nine each night and up by eight the next morning. She never had the chance to sleep until noon as her friends did. Her mother also make her do the house chores. Her mother even embarrassed her by checking on her when she was spending the night with her girlfriends. If she had a boyfriend, I would never imagine how her mother acts like. But as she grew up, and having three children, she also acts like her own mother. 

I disagree with the mother in this article. The girls' mother should not treat her like that. Even if its love, don't ever treat your children like that. A mother should listen to their children when they have problems. Mother also should not ground her children when they make a mistake. She should give some advice so that her children listen and take that as a lesson. Although her mother is like that, her children are not suppose to hate their mother but loving her. Show your love towards our mother makes our mother felt loved by her children especially for single moms. They didn't have anyone except their own children.

Mothers acts such as in the story above, it is not because of she didn't love her children. Every mother loves her children. But sometimes, the way they treat theirs is different to the way of some mother treat theirs, but actually, mothers loves her children very much. We also must respect our mother because she let us into this world. Without her, we do not exist in this world.

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.   -Mildred B. Vermont

A mother is a person who seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.  -Tenneva Jordan

Some mothers are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same, and most mothers kiss and scold together.  -Pearl S. Buck

Article review (Online Relationship)

Link for my article. Click here.

This article is about online relationship. To me, this article is very interesting because it educates people about the effects of online relationship. It also helps those who have the same problems to share their thoughts and opinion on online relationship.

I choose this article because this article is most related to youngsters and teenagers nowadays. Facebook is one of the most popular social networking site for people to run their business, socializing and so on. But most of them use Facebook as a site for socializing especially teenagers. They tend to forget the disadvantages that they must go through. For instance, chatting online is fun but at the same time it can leads to several problem such as wasting time and so on. It also leads to not doing homework and assignments. To cut it short, it leads to major discipline problems.

So this article is about this guy, his mom marrying a guy that she met through the internet. He was grateful that his new father is a normal guy and not a psycho like some people on the net. Then after they got married, they moved to Easton PA. After six months, he went down to Ontario, where he used to live before his mom marrying his new father. He was introduced to a girl and exchanged emails. After he got back home, they talked almost everyday on the internet and he realized that he started to like her. During the Thanksgiving holiday he came down to Ontario and he bought her a present. Then he had to go back to Easton PA. He emailed her telling that he misses the time that they spend together and he also confessed his feelings to her. The girl emailed him back telling him that she also had a great time but unfortunately she likes someone else. He accept the girls' decision but it hurts him inside.

My opinion on this article is I agree that online relationship doesn't work. Not every girl or boy, however, will be as honest as she was honest to him. Just knowing a person on the internet doesn't mean you know anything about that person. They could be the opposite of what you expect and they could be lying really easily. 

The conclusion is online relationship is not a good way to have a relationship. If you want a relationship, go ahead and find one out there. There is a lot of opportunity out there, not only on social networking site. Because through online relationship, we don't know whether the person you are dating is being honest to you.

Glee2 Episode4 drama review

A new kid Sam finally joins the Glee club and is soon spotted by Kurt, who believes him to be gay. This ramps up very quickly when Will decides a little competition is in order and award the couple who performs the best duet will win a dinner for two at a local restaurant.

Finn and Rachel thought that they are going to win, but wanting to keep Sam, the new kid in the club, they decide to perform the most offensive song they can find so that they could not win. However, the rest of the couple wants to win and perform the best numbers that they can.

Artie uses his new romance with Brittany to make Tina jealous, which works mostly because her relationship with Mike Chang is on the rocks. Attention-starved Brittany takes Artie’s virginity, apparently for fun. He catches on and backs out of their duet, completely hurt. After ditching Brittany, Santana suggest to team up with Mercedes and they perform a song called River Deep, Mountain High. While Tina and Mike, the Asian couple performs Sing! by A chorus Line which develop Mike's talent as a singer and not only a dancer.

After having a heart to heart with his recovering father, Kurt realises he can't keep going after straight guys hoping that they are gay and he finally releases Sam from the commitment he made to sing with him and wants to do a duet with himself, performing Le Jazz Hot from Victor/Victoria. Artie and Brittany withdrawal from the competition due to problems that the they have.


Sam did try his hard to get his duet by teaming up with a girl who always look beautiful, Quinn, they perform Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat and they ended up winning the competition with the help of Finn and Rachel who votes for them while the others vote for themselves. They won their free dinner but it turns out to be their first date.

But in this episode, there is a number of scene that is inappropriate for society. In Glee season 1, there is not much scene and i think there is none. But based on the selling reason, maybe the producer wants to add some spice to Glee season 2 by adding some inappropriate scene to attract youngsters or teenagers to watch the drama. The moral value that I get in this Glee episode is always be creative with your work and try your best in everything you do. Don't ever give up. And lastly, don't be too proud of yourself as Finn an Rachel did. Always be humble.
