Blog #3

This repersents how tyler thinks about suicide sometimes. The quote was, "The Idea would sneak in and BOOM i was off." He thinks about suicide sometimes because he feels like his life is very difficult, but really he's living a pretty much usual teenage life other than his mean father. Who is always busy and never home. But when he is home he's doing more work and doesn't pay attention to his family. Or he doesn't really show them that much affection or love.

Twisted Sexual Harassment Blog #2

So in this book Twisted the issue of sexual harassment came up at Tylers high school. An yes i do feel like sexual harassment can go both ways in my opinion for several reasons. Like if these girls are purposly dressing half naked they must want to dress like that for someone to look at them. But when the guys looked at them they got attittudes so i feel like they were purposly doing this to the guys. An i also feel like there really just advertising themselves.
So in my opinion yes sexual harassment can go both ways. I feel like the definition of sexual harassment can be stretched to fit this situation with the girls dressing loosly. Just because there not touching on them doesn't mean it isn't sexual harassment. I feel like there sexualy harassing the men eyes because they know what there doing.

Blog #1 Response to Cyberbullying expert warns local parents:

       Cyberbullying is a very offensive and hurtful thing to the person being targeted. An can leave some kids emotinally scared. But in this report they say that children are not always the target of these cyberbullies. A couple of the basketball players made a fake myspace page about their coach, and disrespected him and his family. I believe that this act was very wrong an if they had a problem with their coach they could have approached it in a diffrent more positive way.
        There are other instances were people make profile about the person an make it seem like the person created the profile thereself. Like at Classical High School two top students made a fake profile about this girl. They had posted insulting statements and rumors about the girl making it seem like she wrote it herself. In my opinion that was a terrible thing to do. This girl probaly is being tormented and made fun of at school for these hurtful things.
