My dad sent me the latest video of the Buzz Report (from Cnet) and it talked about lots of interesting tidbits for approximately 3 minutes and 48 seconds.
Let's talk about sexting (sex + messaging). Yes. Let's all have "cybersex" through text messages; it sounds like a party. Over the summer, I recall seeing a news segment on this very subject on the Tyra Banks Show (don't worry, I only watch this show when it's playing on the screens at the gym). Girls from age 14 to 16 were interviewed on why they "sext" and how it impacts their lives. Most of these girls had low self-esteem issues and the only way they could feel better about themselves was to take naked pictures of themselves and send it to their significant others, or just male friends in general. Some girls "sext" because they love their boyfriends; this is the way they show their love! I suppose it's understandable, because obviously we all truly find "the one" in high school and the only way to ensure that the love is reciprocated is to send naked pictures of ourselves and dirty little messages through SMS.
No. I think not. Just thinking about my fellow peers doing this kind of thing makes me want to burn my iPhone and lobby for a Text-Messaging Police to monitor text messages of people under the age of 18.
Boys and girls. Teens. Preteens. etc. Keep it in your pants. You have plenty of other things to be worrying about right now, keep those hormones in check please.
For you ladies who are feeling a little low, you think nobody thinks you're pretty? It's not true. There is at least ONE person somewhere at your school who probably thinks you're cute; guys just don't have the guts to ever say anything =). So, please don't resort to sending obscene pictures of yourselves - you might really regret it later.
Now, onto texting while DRIVING. Yes, okay, really guys. You might as well be downing some Grey Goose on the highway. You cannot POSSIBLY focus on the road while you're texting your friends about what time to see the new Twilight movie, New Moon (which I have YET to see, so don't spoil it for me). Texting while you drive is truly just a death wish; one minute you're pressing the send button the next, you've collided with the giant trunk in front of you - fun.
All in all, the lesson for drivers? Don't text. Don't update your Twitter/Facebook accounts while you're driving. I'm pretty sure you're followers on Twitter don't need to know that you're driving.
So readers: Don't sext. Don't text. Don't drink and drive. And have a wonderful Thanksgiving break highschoolers =).
P.S. Is the word "unfriend" really becoming a word for the Oxford dictionary? I'm face-palming (if you don't know what that means, it's when you put your palm to your face in resignation).
