Online Relationships -- Healthy or Unhealthy?

I have never heard of online relationships. They seem very weird and probably not very healthy for you. Number one, you can't meet the person in real. Online people act much different and have different qualities. Online someone can be a cool kid, while in real life they are a nerd. It might help kids who are bullied at school, but for normal people it is not OK. I just can't explain why it is OK to date online. You just can't meet the person in real life. I don't know of anyone who has dated online. I don't know how popular it is either. It is also unhealthy, because when you break up you feel bad. Maybe in actual life you would see what a loser the other person is. It is like having a girlfriend as a wall. Don't date online kids!

Parenting, Privacy and Control

It might be a good solution, but kids are going to find a way around it. They only way parents are going to be able to control the internet problem is by taking away their computer. I mean, you would have to block facebook.com and other visited sites. The only way you could contact your friends is by phone. Now there are people who want to contact with their friends online, but don't want other strangers to look at there profile. Unfortunately, on facebook it is hard to do that. There is always a way for people to access your pictures and profile. Kidnapping is getting more and more serious online. People are looking for normally girls to stalk. Someone needs to invent a program that can block stalkers and prevetn kids from being online all day long.

Social Networking -- Keeping in Touch

I think keeping in touch with your friends for teenagers is extremely important. If a teenager would not keep in touch with his/her friends they would be left out. It is the way that kids do this networking that is getting out of hand. Every and all afternoon kids are on chat or facebook contacting their friends. This is making them not be able to do the exercise the kids need. That's why kids are getting fatter. Although, kids don't care about their chores. The only thing they care about is talking with their friends, which is by cell phone and computer. It's just the way it is these days.

Spark Notes. Good or bad?

I like the old school style. You should read every book you can. You become a better writer if you read and understand books. Cheat reading is not good for your future. It is even worse if you cheat in school. Spark Notes will only be helpful if you are gathering ideas for a summary from many websites. I think the boy in the video should feel guilty, because he is using Spark Notes to get his work easier. He should also feel guilty because he turned in a fake assignment. Cheat programs like that should be prohibited in schools. If he feels guilty than he should stop doing it.

Computer at Home

I have my own computer, which is a laptop. The computer in my house are used for communicating. I use the computer for homework, surf forecast, sports news, and fun. My parents use the computer for news and email. I really don't use the computer a lot. I am very active and like to do stuff outside. My both parents use the computer as well as I do. My dad is probably the one who uses it the most. It is different from from radios and TVs, because it has all of those things online. It is like all devices but in one.

I was so ready for a vacation. I could not bare school work anymore. The first couple of days I was a couch potato. A few days later I sent my XBOX 360 to get repaired. I was thinking that it would take a couple of weeks to get repaired, but I was wrong about the service. Microsoft sent me back a whole new console in under a week. I was so amazed about that.
After I got my XBOX 360 back, I played video games for two days straight. I got bored quickly because I had already passed all of the games that I had. My sister was coming down Jan. 1, 2010! So I asked her to bring two games down for me. I asked her for Forza 3 and Call of Duty 4.
During that time wating for the games I surfed. I went surfing 8 days in a row. There was this one swell that was amazing. I caught some of the best waves in my life. The waves were about 8-10 ft high (little scary). There is this one guy that is really cool. He is called Steve. He goes every morning to surf on my beach. I try to go with him, but he just get there too early. He arrives at the beach at 7:30 am. My grandparents arrived from GDL on a Monday. The next day I went with them to look for a condo in Bucerias and Nuevo Vallarta. They are looking to spend one year here. I took my grandpa golfing one day. We played 9 holes, since he can only putt. It is really cool to be around him. I learn so much from him. Finally my sister (Rachel) came with her fiance (Nate). Nate is a cool guy. He likes to snowboard and skate. I got to play my games that day and WOW were they sweet. I played until 2 am that day. I took Nate surfing the next day to La Lancha. He was just learning how to surf, so he tried out the long board. It was really too bad because there wasn't any waves and it was crouded as hell. This was a vacation well spent.
