Safe Schools? More like Neglected Schools!

     Bullying is a huge scary word. A hint of this and it might us well ruin your whole life. Bullying always leads to violence. No one likes to be bullied. People who turn to this and use this to attack others are usually the ones who want attention and power. These are the people who are neglected one way or another. 



     Students everyday struggle with different problems but bullying is a common one of them. They are thought that they could turn to the adults if there is any problem at school. However, students always asks themselves this question "will the adults actually listen?" Students always fear the fact that they would not get attention and support unless they do something to get everyone's attention. People want others to feel their pain by usually showing it in a negative way.



     So, what should schools do? Students stay here for at least 6 hours everyday. They should feel safe and supported in this building all the time. Schools should be students second home and the staff should be their temporary parents. Avoiding violence in school is really easy if every staff is committed to helping and supporting a student.Without commitment or motivation at all, you lose a child to bullying. This is why we have guidance counsellors. They are meant for counselling your problems and issues. Students should go here if they have something serious they want to talk about on their mind.



     Schools should hold presentations  for students about bullying and their causes and effects. They should get students engaged about the idea by presenting different activities that explains bullying. This could be mini games or even a journal writing experience. Doing this can get students thinking about bullying. We need to not just engage adults about the problem of bullying but also the students. It's all about the teamwork and cooperation between one another.

Of course, the internet is LYING!

"We can hand in two units in school? This must be true?!"
"This product removes my eye bags? This must be real!"
"This video says I might have a disease! Oh no MUST share it!"



     Students are gullible. Customers are gullible. Humans, in typical, are GULLIBLE. Around the world, there must have been at least a million of us being scammed everyday. Whether it be the, ads, videos, articles, or the internet, we have been scammed many times in our lifetime. It is no surprised that we people are so gullible since, we all trust one another. People have been so trustworthy that they believe anything thrown upon them.

     In spite of all the lies, let us be honest, the majority of what you have said today is the truth. People easily trust different stuff because we speakers tend to say the truth. The fact that the people who wrote or made the video or article aren't experts would not even cross our mind. As a result, we get more into of the story without even thinking for a moment. We scroll down for the juicy parts and instantly get mind blown.



   We are gullible and nothing is going to change that fact except if we think carefully before we act. Many people do stuff without even thinking and suffer the consequences after. Problems rise and things get worse. Thus, we must try to carefully think about our situations before even making a move. Try not believing the Internet or better yet, anything you read until you get a legit proof. Ask yourself, where is the source? Who said it? Are they an expert?

Would I Pay to Remove Ads? Hah! No.

     Of course, everyone in the world must have heard, seen, or known of YouTube. What is YouTube? YouTube is a video-sharing website founded in 2005. People could watch different kinds of videos here and upload their own too. Before YouTube was even made, people just relied on their local TVs at home for different videos. Since then, the making of Youtube has changed the world forever. It has transformed everything from entertainment to education. It has opened doors for talented people wanting to be discovered. It also has brought everyone in the world together.
YouTube's logo

     In the past years, YouTube has been growing, evolving, and changing. The website's layouts has changed over the years. It started of with a plain white and boring layout with its famous logo. You only had a few options to do in YouTube such as viewing your favourites, profile, videos, and messages. Then, 2006 passed by and Google decided to buy YouTube. Since then, YouTube's layout has evolved greatly. It has added a ton of new options such as editing your profile, editing your videos,  subscribing to other people, and many more! There were people who liked it and there were some who hated it but soon enough got used to it.



     Furthermore, now that YouTube has been growing, more and more people have been using it to watch free videos. That's right FREE videos but with ads. So this year, YouTube decided to release a way to eliminate those ads and let you view some PREMIUM videos. And that way is to get a subscription. Do you how much this subscription cost? It cost at least $10 a month! Woah, I think that's just too much for people who just wanted to watch some FREE videos. I mean have you ever seen another site like YouTube? In my opinion, the subscription is not really that worth it. I can handle videos with ads. I just need to click "Skip Ad" and it's over. It's so easy and it's better than paying. I think YouTube will be fine without this new subscription.
