danger of a single story

                                                       SINGLE STORY
In my opinion to have a single story about a place or community means to have an idea about something that is encouraged or not encouraged to do.A single story that is happening in my community is when their is a group of teenagers outside and a kid goes and they make that kid go inside or leave them alone and they push the little kid around.People can learn more about this community by driving around town and observing what they see and record data.A lot of people tell a Mexican how come you don't speak spanish if your Mexican.Not all Mexicans speak spanish.Another stereotype is that only boys play football or only girl do cheer leading "THAT'S NOT TRUE."A couple of years back this guy went up to my dad and started talking to him in english and at the time my dad didn't know english so i told the guy that my dad only spoke spanish and the guy said why isn't he in Mexico if he only knows spanish.I went to school one day and we had a guest speaker and they asked everyone if they knew spanish and i didn't raise my hand because i didn't know spanish at the time and all of my friends kept on telling me "how come you don't know spanish if your Mexican that's so dumb."In my game my idea is that we can create a character and make him Mexican and an African American best friends and when they go to the store and everyone sees them together they start whispering to each other saying "why are those two people together."Then we make another scene where they go home and talk to each other saying that a lot of people at the store were being racist.

cyberbully

This past week i have learned about many important things but cyberbullying is the most important.We learned that you cant just bully someone in physical ways u can also hurt them on the Internet by posting mean comments about them or posting their secrets online.I personally have never bullied or been bullied but i have witnessed a person being bullied.I did not want to say anyhting because i didn't want to get involved in other peoples business and problems.A big thing you can do to prevent being bullied on the Internet is just delete your account or profile.The characters in the movie could have just reported the person to the web master or told a trusted adult to help them out.When you are being bullied online and everyone from school sees it people also start bullying you at school and it sometimes gets to the point of suicide which means that they might want to kill themselves because of what people are saying about that person and they cant stand it anymore and they will no longer stand it.Cyberbullying is getting very serious their has been a lot of suicides happening all over the news about why and how the kids especially teenagers are killing themselves over some fake person that was just pretending to be their friend but really wasn't.My Best friends cousin was being cyberbullied and she didn't know what do do so she told her mom and dad and together they told the web master and about one or two hours later they send her a notification that his profile has been deleted.I think the Megan Meier Foundation has made a big difference in the world today.Their has been reports all over the news and all over t.v that teenagers have been killing themselves and the Megan Meier Foundation is trying to prevent those kind of things that are happening.

First Week of School

The first week of school was very.We didn't do a lot of stuff on the first week but we did get a lot of papers that needed to be signed.I was not as nervous as i was last year because last year i did not know anyone that was at the school and i made a lot of friends so i knew i was gonna make a lot of friends this year.I was exited because i wanted to meet new kids and teachers.So far i like most of my classmates but some of them talk a lot and it gets annoying.I have liked all the teachers so far because they have all been fun.All of my classes have been interesting.This year i am looking forward to learning a lot more stuff than i did last year and i also want to make more friends.I'm not nervous about anything but i am scared that I'm going to get a referral but i will try my best not too because i want to go on any upcoming field trips.
