Cracking Teenagers' Online Codes

I agree with Dr.Boyd that parents should give their teenagers more freedom. I agree because parents are to over protective over their children and don’t let them experience life. When there children get older and start doing things by their self they wont know how to handle real life situations because there parents never gave them that freedom when they were younger. Even though Dr.Boyd is quite older than us, she still observes and understands teenagers. Dr.Boyd proved the crime rate as from 1990. Decreased about 35%. This shows that the streets are safer. However, I don’t agree that a teenager expressing their feelings online is such a bright idea. It is very dangerous. There are psycho predators online. Cyberbulling online can occur everyday and chatting online to people you don’t know can be harmful because you don’t know who the person is. For example, on a crime show I was watching, a older teenager girl was talking to a male stranger online for a very long time ; she though that the person care about her. When she went to go meet up with the person he duck taped her mouth and raped her and hand cuffed her legs and arms to the bars on a bed and left. Talking to a counselor online is unsafe to because you can think that your talking to a real person but its fake identity the whole time.

Italian Cruise ship Capsized

The 450million dollar Cruise ship ‘Costa Concordia’ had hit a reef off an island name giglio. Staff told passengers on the ship it was just a problem with the generator and to stay calm. After, plates starting falling and tables started rolling to the side. There was no safety drills given if something like this was to happen. At this time, the captain was no where to be found. I think that this is the captain’s fault because when they happen he managed to escape and disappear. This is sad because even though many people got out, about 11 people were found dead and 21 were missing. If I was on the boat I would cry because I would have to go to the deck immediately leaving everything in the room like my clothes and packages. I wouldn’t have anything left. This makes me scared to get back on cruise ships after only one time. I wouldn’t want to leave all my belongings in my room, I would have to go back to get it. It would feel like a disaster. I would probably have a panic attack and pass out. The captain of the ship was put on house arrest because he abandoned the ship. Researchers think the ship tipped over from it being to close to land. This is very weird. On all cruise ships, they have safety drills, but this one didn’t. Many people probably went into terror not knowing or getting instruction of how to handle this kind of disaster.

Adults giving advice can help because teens with unhealthy break ups and can look and listen to what a adult say about how to handle it maturely. Unlike younger people doing a lot of extra things to make each other jealous.
