Bullying

I am writing on an occuring problem in school, bullying.  Bullying has been an issue in schools for as long as schools have been around and there is never a real solution.  Teachers have come up with many reasons for bullying, the biggest one is envy. Most people even at youth treat other people badly when they are envious of them.  The problem is most bullying happens when teachers aren't around and kids are too afraid to tell the teachers because the bullies threaten them if they do something worse will happen so its just an oncurring situation.  Teachers and staff will continue to work hard and hopefully come up with a solution to this drastic problem.

Naughty Nine
The story posted here talks about how a popular group of girls are targeting her friends and constantly picking on them.The girl states how her friends were able to cope with it but not her. She ended up having to drop out of school and started homeschool. She even had to get on medicine for her anxieties and stress. She cant have cope with having friends so she buys more and more animals as a replacement for them but its obvioulsy not the same. No one is willing to help her including the cops, friends or parents because again tthey only care about themselves.  Hopefully with the help of other students having this problem and people being able to help her we can fix her problem and move on fixing another problem.

twitter talk

Today we are once again talking about twitter and what people think about it. IT is a good way for people to post their feelings at teh moment but for the most part people use it to share information that most people dont' want to hear about and most people use it for when they are bored. Its just another way to communicate by texting when people could just talk in person

review of peers blogs

The presentations went well. Mike incorporated a smart board in his presentation.  Brittany used a song with the quadratic formula to help remember the formula that she actually used when she was learning about it. I really liked the ideas they showed me and i thought it was very productive. I wasn't very good with powerpoint but after this project i learned how to rename and use a hyperlink. I thought this project was very good in helping me teach better in the future.

presentation day

Today we will be presenting our power point to our classmates. excited to learn more ideas about teaching

Ulcerative colitis blog review

            The blog that I chose is on Ulcerative Colitis. The reason I chose this is because I

have this disease and always enjoy learning more. It is not a well known disease and most

people I talk to about it have no idea what it is. Also, I love hearing other people’s

experiences on it.  The disease is basically described as such. Your colon has ulcers all

through it and is inflamed at all times.  There is no real cure for the disease. 

            The article I chose is called, “Seeking Hope From a Support Group.”  The theme

of the blog is a women who was recently diagnosed with the disease is trying to find hope

from other people with the same disease.  The word that is used most in the text would be

experience.  Everyone in the group talks about their experiences with the disease and

ideas that they have to make it a little better. Another way she uses the word is to describe

how people who don’t have the disease can’t really help because they haven’t

experienced the same things she has and doesn’t know how to help.  I think that there are

a lot of situations in life where it is hard for people to understand situations because they

have never experienced it. For example, the pain in child birth for men.  The author of

this article is saying that she is not expecting people to understand her condition but yet

search for hope from other people and have people be there for her in her hard times.

            In my own experience I feel like I experienced a lot of the same feelings she did.

It’s hard to remember that other people have experienced the same things that I did.  I

ended up losing twenty seven pounds in two weeks and ended up in the hospital for a

week.  All I wanted was to have people who knew what I was going through.  The disease

has totally flipped my life around but knowing that other people have experienced it as

well gave me some hope, just like the writer of the article.  From experiencing this and

reading the blog, it gives me the hope to get through it just like the author wants as well.
