All The Cool Kids Are Doing It . . .







Okay, so this is what you get when you get curious and look on the "young" blog sites that students at my high school use. I would list them here, but I don't want this post to come up in searches by someone trying to find them (I am trying to be smart)! I teach at a school with a lot of "wanna be" gang members. We had a long discuss about it last week at our gang training session. The "wanna be's" are the most dangerous type b/c they have some thing to provide and are consistently trying to gain attention and status.

The things that these kids write about and the pictures they post on their blogs worries me. Many of them use real names without even thinking twice - scary! I would die if one of my students found my blog and knew it was me. Knowing this . . . tonight I "googled" my name and several of the other names that might come it. It is freaky to think that you could be on the internet in unknown places! I was quoted on one website for endorsing a product that a man presented during the time I worked at one of the local universities over five years ago!

Soon people will know everything about us. The stat counter that I use tells where, when, how long, etc. people that view my blog are there. It is very interesting and makes me think twice when I visit sites now, knowing most people are using something like this, too! Someone at school sent me a link that makes you wonder . . . what will the future be like?
