ARTICLE FOR WEEK 12: 1289409346 []  QUESTION 1. How do you feel about fake body parts? Bria; I feel as though why get fake body part what the need? natural beauty is the best beauty : )

Article for week 10 []  1288898613

1289410241: yes, people love internet chatting these days.
Bria: Yes it is, its easily for me to get distracted. and facebook is one of the reasons Bria: and i agree with tatyanae!

1289410241: uhhhh, at least everyday... cause i have a blackberry those phones have all the internet apps like twitter and ect.
Bria: Everyday; it actually became a habit. that i cant even control. like sometimes i will log off and myself logging back on. Bria; and most of the time i be bored.

Q4. What don't you like about FB?
== jean: The choas and drama that facebook brings. Teen couples will fight because one person put single as his or her relationship status and the other as married, the argument can be the cause of the break up. ==

1289410241; people who abuse the website and post rude things about others.
== 1289164008 true true. Sometimes girls start fakin on fb. They have soooo much to say on fb but when you are in school with them they are speechless. That neva happened to me but it happened to a friend of mine many times.lol ==

 * Bria; No i just be bored so thats what i hop on too.. **

**﻿[]** **﻿** ﻿ **Q1: Who do you think wrote the author? What gender,age and race? explain your reasoning.** **﻿Shaq : I think a very creative person wrote this article.... Okay that's just being nice. Who ever wrote this article is a dumbass! Typically a girl or a guy who thinks he knows so much about females, but isn't in a relationship at the moment. He considers himself to be a ladies man, but in reality he gets rejected by A LOT of girls!!!**
 * ARTICLE FOR WEEK 9(Jean)**

1288717409 i think the guy that wrote this had some issues with the females

1288563062 lol i think this person is FUNNY. The person who wrote this article is a guy who evidently had trouble with getting dates at one point in time. Now whether he is back, white, or green is beyond me. This guy has to be old. I just don't see a young guy writing this article. Have you ever thought about writing //How to get a date instructions??? Not me.//


 * Cynthia: I agree with Allison. I think he had a lots of trouble with getting into a relationship. **

**﻿Shaq: I agree with some parts of the article! For example, I completely agree with the part about how almost every girl doesn't want the first date to be extremely serious or for the guy to be some psycho creeper!! But I don't agree with the scenarios the author wrote out. It just makes it seem like he/she has no clue what the hell their doing!**
 * Cynthia: I think the author doesn't have a good idea about relationship.Definitely the author is a middle age guy // . //**
 * // Bria: im not sure who wrote it but his response on things was so off. and i feel as though it could be a guy, someone a little older. //**
 * Q2: Do agree with the article? Why and why not?**

1288563062 The 2nd paragraph is on point. Im in the very first part of the relationship thing. If he ask me on a date, I will I will I will worry myself about how to act, what to say, and what to do. " //OMG Should I smile a lot or should I laugh a lot? Heels or boots? dress or leggings? make up or no make up? U know what... Sorry hun maybe next time//" Girls, have yall ever did that before??
 * Cynthia: Shaq, I think u have a good point. **

1288717409 i agree with allison, girls are just like that.
 * Cynthia: I don't agree with some parts of the article but not the whole thing . I disagree that every girl sees first date as a start of a long relationship. **

Bria; Dont agree with the article, but some facts he was giving was true.

Bria; and i also agree with what shaq had to say also

Shaq: I agree with parts of the article. I mean I'm a very nice person, so if I can see that someone is trying to make an effort into asking me out, I would take them up. But if it doesn't go well then I'll tell them sorry! 1288563062 hmmmmmm ye i agree. i would give the guy a chance because this shows that he is really interested in me. **﻿** **1288717409 i somewhat agree with this artcle.** **Vocab.(jean)** **﻿**
 * Q3: Do agree with the article ? If someone were to ask you in a similar way presented in the article will give that person a chance?**
 * occurence-something that happens or is happpening**
 * pub-bar**
 * social life- your life outside your profession**
 * Cynthia: I agree with some of the ideas from the article. I think i will give him chance just to see what kind of person he is. **
 * Bria; i would, since im nice but if im not interested i will do the date and after that just consider being the person friend. **

[] SHAQ 10-18-10 (Week 8) Hey guys, this is the link for the article.... [] The website has sub-articles for the main topic of the whole Article! It shows that 8th grades start at 30%. 1) Why do you think there are more children doing drugs?? 1287667704 Well there are several possible reasons why children are doing drugs. A; The child may feel as thogh the parent is not paying any attention to them, so they are doing this for attention. B; The child may be very unhappy about their home life. Some complain about how unfair the parent treats them. C; the child just may be a follower. they see somebody else do drugs and decide to do it too. Shaq: I feel you on that, but at the same time I know a lot of teens that do drugs for reasons that don't have to do with necessarily bad things.
 * 1288717690 maybe the media, friends and family, peer pressure is very common these days **

By the 12th grade it is expected that the percentage rate would increase by 12.5%. jean: I think is the fact that so many kids are expose drugs and parents are not around as they used to be in the earlire decades.

Bria; I think the reason why more kids are doing drugs are because they see other kids doing.

Cynthia : I agree with Bria. Most the teens are doing drugs because they see others are doing it too.

Cynthia: I think kids are using drugs for various reasons.. Some teenagers have low self esteem. They use drug to feel better. sometimes they do it because they feel lonely. Shaq: I can definitely agree to what Cynthia is saying!

2) How much of a dramatic change do you think that is? Explain. jean: It's dramatic beacuse we (teens) are the furture of this nation and if everyone dies because overdose then the future is off a bad start.

Bria; I have to agree with jean, if all the teens continue to do drugs where's our future.

Cynthia: It's so dramatic because if teenagers are keep doing that then their future will be a worst.


 * 1288717690 with doing drugs comes no success,there are many consequences with doing drugs. **

Male teens use illegal drugs (12.3%) more than female teenage counterparts (10.9%) (SAMHSA, 2002).

3)Why do children in a low age grade and that go to school do drugs? 1287667704 to be cool. Younger kids obviously think doing drugs are cool. For what reason IDK.  jean: It is cheaper than it used to be could a reason why younger children are doing drugs.


 * 1288717690 simply, because they see advertisements of famous people doing it or it may be done at home. **

Cynthia: Jean is totally right. Most of the drugs are way cheaper than it used to be in last decade.

Bria ; because they see other people doing it, peer-pressure. 1288563062 peer pressure is the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cynthia: I think they start at early age because they see other people using it especially their parents. Some time they use it because they want other people's attention to them.

Bria; yeah cynthia you made a point they do.

He bria!! Its Allison. I was supposed to do this weeks article but its ok ill go nd switch mi name wit yours. OOOOOOHHH nd i just found out something kool. If you press shift and they key under f1 on the leftside of your keyboard twice, it will write your wiki name and how long ago u posted whatever you posted...  1286473177   Bria- Ooooh ok my bad dear! i thought it was my week but ok.... and mines wont do it u goin have to show me in person  OK!!! ARG!! mine not doin it either  1286577038 ﻿   OOOH im sorri its 4 times 1286577093 hey guys i didn't know that it's my turn to post the article because i thought someone else gonna do it. Anyway i just checked the page and saw that it's my turn. so here's the article: =(Cynthia) Article for week 7(10/10-10/170) = <span style="color: #008080; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's the article for week 7[|child abuse]

=Question 1=

** Why do u think child abuse is increasing in a higher rate? **
<span style="color: #17c4a7; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">1287157404: i think child abuse has increase in today's society because of stress maybe... **1287327949 I think it increases because some parents are stressed like what Tati said, but it can even be drugs. Parents use drugs and drugs change the way you act and think.**

**jean: I think child abuse is not increasing but more cases are being reported.**

**Bria: i think Child Abuse is not increasing, but i feel as though it seem like it because kids leave being abuse** **a secret.** = Question 2 =

** What's the main purpose of this article? **
<span style="color: #17c4a7; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">1287157404: the main purpose of this article is basically informing its audience of child abuse and how drastic it is.
 * 1287327949 Yup Tati u nailed it!! Exactly what she said. **
 * Jean: The main purpose of this article was to inform the audience how the child protective services are not doing enough and the increasing of child abuse. **
 * Bria; I Agree with Jean, basically letting us know child protective services isnt doing there job. **

= Question 3 =

** Who is the audience for this article? **
<span style="color: #17c4a7; display: block; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">﻿1287157404 : i don't think it's for a specific audience, its okay for people to read this if their experiencing child abuse,they have in the pass, or they know someone who has.
 * 1287327949 Well it is for everybody to read. I think the people who would benefit from this the most is children. It may b helpful for teachers and other parents just incase they know a child that appears as if they have been abused. Its possible. **
 * jean: the audience can targeted for parents, social worker or even the average joe. **
 * Bria; It's for people that can relate, and for ones who that dont know much on child abuse **

= ** ( <span style="color: #000080; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bria) Article for week 6 ** = **[]** = **Question 1 :**  = **What are you all opinion on teen pregnancy?**  1286577639 Mannnnn!!!!!!! Teens need to be more careful and practice safe sex!! I have 2 friends who have two children already, my younger sister just made me a aunt, AND mi bestfriend is about to make me a godmommy and we are all the same age. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing but rite now in life is not the time for it. We are supposed to party party party and focus on skool. However, im happy for them bcuz i know a girl who cant have kids. JUST PRACTICE SAFE SEX PLZ!!

jean﻿: It things that happen you just have to be careful and know what you are doing. Shaq: Teen pregnancy is just plain wrong. Any child pregnant between the age of 13-21 is destroying their future! Teens should be more focused on school, friends, and after school activities, and not about sex. Picture this... A child having a child! To me that's absurd!

1286814065: teen pregnancy, is ....scary in our socitety today. just avoid it as best as you can. = Question 2 : = **Why do you think the rates has gone up ?**  1286578054 OOOOHH wow smh. I can't even tell you. Probably because people dont care or there are more people who are against abortions maybe. I know I am.

jean: I really dont know because I wasnt a teen 10 years ago. lol Shaq: Mostly because most people just don't care anymore. The phrase/statement "condoms are for loser" or "sex is soooo much better without condoms" is getting into peoples heads and they're more likely to not use them, rather than use their brain and have safe sex.

1286814192: the rates has gone uo because..condoms are expensive?? j/k i really don't know = **Question 3 :**  = **What can you do to prevent teen pregnancy?**  1286578054 Its called birthcontrol AND condoms. If you dont like it, then dont have sex. Plain and simple :-)  jean: The day after pill, birth control, abstinence and condoms. Shaq: There are many ways to prevent teen pregnancy, the best way is to stop having sex. But that's like asking people not to breathe, am I right? Of course I am! So people should use condoms, get birth control shot, or take birth control pills! Plain and simple as that!

1286814274: no sex, problem solved :)

= **!!!HEY EVERYBODY ITS TATYANAS TURN TO DO THE ARTICLE!!!** (TATYANA) ARTICLE FOR WEEK 5:  = = [] **<span style="color: #00c6ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">QUESTION 1: What rapper do you prefer.. Kanye or Drake? ** = **<span style="color: #bc25f4; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">﻿Allison: Drake!!!!!!!!!! I choose Drake because Kanye's lyrics are not as good as they were when he first came out. His last two albums have been very... ewwww, lets just say the things he raps about makes him look really stupid now. ** **<span style="color: #bc25f4; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">jean: I prefer drake as well because I think Kanye is egocentric. ** **<span style="color: #bc25f4; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Bria; my choice will be Drake also, Drake is really doing his thing. and with kanye i just think everyone has there time to shine and he had his. ** = **<span style="color: #00c6ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">QUESTION 2: How do you feel about artists music being "leaked" ? ** = Jean: It sucks if it was'nt meant to be leaked because the artist gain no type of money.

**Allison: Well for music lovers, its great!! Its called free music off of youtube.lol For the artists, It may cause a decrese in the amount of money they get so I'm sure they will be pissed especially if they have not perfected the particular track.** **Bria; All i can say is (free music) ...lol and thats a good thing on my end.** = **<span style="color: #00c6ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Question 3: Should leaked music be put to a stop? why or why not? ** = ** Allison: Nooo not at all. Sometimes the best songs from an album are the ones that are leaked. Nine times out of ten the leaked song promotes the album better than the origional single that the artist wanted to release. ** Jean: I dont think we can put a stop leaked music because people are always going to find to that information out there. It will be pointless to put a stop to something you can't stop.

Bria; No. why stop it, i agree with allison.

hey guys it's jean, here is the link for the next week 9/24/10 article []  Question 1: Do you think the school has the right to make such contract?

<span style="color: #0eb46a; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Yes because, sometimes school dances get a little too much from personal experience,i have seen very disturbing dances at my highschool dances involving sexual activity so that should definately be PROHIBITED. (Tatyana)** Just writing the contract is going a little overboad...
 * Bria ;** They have the right but i dont think it should be a contract. I mean i feel that the student are older enough to say hey we can do this.

Allison- I think the school has the right to make whatever contracts they please but that doesnt mean all students are going to sign it. Question 2: Is there a true definition of "Dirty Dancing"?

<span style="color: #0eb46a; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**NOT EXACTLY. I think everyone has thier own way to discribing what it actually is but my definition of dirty dancing is basically dancing on another person in a sexual kind of way,inapropiate way. (Tatyna)** <span style="color: #0eb46a; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Bria ; **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I dont hear to many people calling it dirty dancing but yes, as tatyna describe. Allison- Dirty dancing is not the word.Lol Most people i know call it "freakin" The word freakin is self explanitory. At the same time thats just how kids our age dance.

Question 3: Did your school had such contract if not did u wish your school had such contract? Why and Why not?

<span style="color: #0eb46a; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Yes, my school had this contact expespecially at prom,but i had fun regardless. Just sometimes it gets annoying seeing females act soo ...trashy. (Tatyana)** dont think its need of any contract forreal, have of the time you can barely get some of the students to dance...lol
 * Bria ;** We never had a contract, but they will always give you a guideline of rules before any dance event. I really

Allison- NOOOOO we never had a contract. If we did i would have never ever went to our dances. No They got me messd up!!!llls Bria; i agree i swearr thats why i never really went to my dances or nothin they gave at my school but prom...lol too many rules for me.. sorry guys,  I had a family emergency for and i wasn't in reach with a computer so i guess we going with allison's article. thank you allison.-jean NP Jean nd im sorry to hear!!! Hope everything is oKayy!!-Alli
 * <span style="color: #0eb46a; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">....intresting article jean,sorry to hear about your family emergency. -TATYANA **

Hey its Alli. Sorri i had to do this to you guys but its 9:00 and im about to post this article about hair so we are going just use this article for the first week so that we will get a grade!!! [] Question #1 Real hair or fake hair?? Why? I prefer real hair beacause I think it is more origianal than wearing weave too many girls wear weaves now a days.-Jean
 * i liked this article.. lol (Tatyana)**

<span style="color: #00c6ff; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**umm, i never had fake hair before, so i perfer real hair because it's natural & yeah i agree with jean, a lot of girl's wear fake hair these days so it's somewhat a bore..be DIFFERENT. :) - Tatyana** Question #2 Do you wear fake hair? Do like girls with fake hair? Why or Why not? No I'm all natural baby. It depends on the kind of weave I don't like "ghetto weave" because i don't like noticing when a girl is wearing weave.-Jean <span style="color: #00c6ff; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**Nope, never have & i don't think i ever will! i just don't like it...it's not ME. lol to jean's comment :p -TATYANA**   Question #3 Do you think wearing fake hair transform you into a person that you are not?  ﻿Yesss it sure can i seen from personal experience. I remember this girl from my high school she was always wearing weave no one saw her real hair, boys thought that she was the prettiest girl at school but one day she didnt wear her weave she looked different (bad way). -Jean HEY JEAN WE NEED U TO GRAB A ARTICLE BUDDY!!!!!!! PLZ GET ON IT CUZ ITS ALREADY THURSDAY 5:10pm!!!!!!! <span style="color: #00c6ff; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">**It could change who you are,mainly because it's already not a part of who you are as a person... i see it as a kind of costume, like make-up. I wear make-up sometimes but i also think things people buy or do to make theirselves look "better" is not showing who they truly are like fake hair.. (TATYANA)**

<span style="color: #0eb46a; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">...I'm thinking we should start a article discussion for now,because the first discussion thread is due FRIDAY! which is tommorow (September 17th) ...so who ever is the leader this week find a quick article & we'll discuss & then we have our first grade. Then starting next week, we get the Book Discussion situated. <span style="color: #ff008e; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">(TATYANA) <span style="color: #0eb46a; display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> HEY!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO IS TAKING ENGLISH CLASS EN002?????? OR READING THE BOOK " THE COLOR OF WATER"???? WE CAN USE THAT BOOK but if you dont have the class than you could buy it at the schools book store for $11!!! But if you dont want to read that book its ok too. -Alli i dont have the class but let me get a better understanding we doin the book club instead of getting articles ? little confuse..lol
