Period 9/10 Blog #1

 You will be responding to one topic a week that I post. Your comment (70 pts) should be at least 210 words to start off with (they will eventually get longer but we'll start small) due Thursday by 11:59 pm and you will be responsible for a response (30 pts) in one paragraph (5-7 sentences) to one of your classmates entries by Sunday at 11:59 pm.

Dr. Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter"

  1. To make it easier for me to understand this quote, I will try to break it down and identify the meaning to each part. So the first part,” Be who you are…” That means to be yourself and not something that you are not. I used to try to act “cool” just to try to be popular, but at the sametime I was making fun of people just to fit in, and it was really hurting them badly even though they smiled after every joke I said. “...and say what you feel,” Say what’s on your mind. Your mind can not be read, so you just cannot expect people to know how you are feeling (unless your body language expresses it.) Nobody knows what you are thinking so just let it out. Those who mind what you feel are not important at all. And those who do actually care are important. So just know who the people who are going to have your back in what you do. Cause they are the ones who matter. I've lost a lot of friends just because they were pretty much toxic for me and they were effective on me. So I had to take them away from my life by saying what is on my mind. By doing that I was able to be myself around people.

  3. think that it can not be the way it used to be before due to social errors it ignores for example Twitter and facebook (except instagram) will respond to your complain but will not ban or kick the
    Racist or inappropriate User which makes social media look bad or worse the developers need to stand up for other users to have support on its social media website. Not to mention
    They will only stand up if the user says something bad about their website so which means they
    are not caring but only for themselves and several people complained about this and yet was
    Ignored that leads to the fact they got accused of things they didn’t do.How? The attacker fakes the user profile pic and name then comments things the user didn’t say.They really need to fix this.

    Yes it does infringe our privacies, Just image what can they do with your privacy like they can expose your embarrassing contents to the public which in fact can’t help but to think about it.
    It happened at least 24 in total i believe but to be honest it’s scary and cuts deeper if you again think about it. You have the right to keep your secrets away from the public (as long as it isn’t harmful).

  4. Dr. Suess once said "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those of the matter do not mind and those who mind do not matter "what he meant that be yourself and express what you feel in other words is forget what people say and follow your heart. It is a good reflector because says something very realistic. Pretending be another person affects people can not see your true qualities and abilities. My cousin always wanted be what actually was not and had many problems in his life, now that's an adult has changed and we can see their true qualities person. On my part I always demonstrate what I really am, people want me well and not trade for anything in the world.
