-After watching "Growing up online" i was shocked of how several teens spend most of their lives on computers playing video games, chatting and even Cheating! :O I can not believe how a lot of teens do not read book and instead they just read the book summaries from other people or even use special websites to cheat on their tests. I was even more surprised when i saw a story of how a girl pretended to be a model in the website but she really was bullied and hated all her life. People online change their names to be "cool" or just be a different person and feel good about their-selves. Most people always update their status and letting people know what they are doing to seem cool. some even post corny reveling pictures to look interesting. I could not beleive my eyes when i saw how people destroy their lives just for the fame in the net.( which the net is unreal!!!)
- I can connect to the guy stuck in the computer because sometimes instead of doing my homework i start chatting with my friends and waste a lot of time chatting instead of doing what i am suppose to do. I have also made my name changed( like the young little boy) because i also thought it will be "cooler" and make my name stand out more. But, i never cheated on a test like that boy, i actually enjoy reading books and would never do that. I have a Facebook and i do show my real identity and i don't change it but i update my status speaking my mind or even just sharing my music taste. I believe it is up to the person to let the web get to you because we have the decision turn on the computer or start you homework.
