No more Selfie's

Stop the Selfie Madness

Column by Adrianne B

#Selfie. It's everywhere. It's on Instagram, twitter, all those social media websites. Everyone does it, but nobody knows where it came from. It could have come from a crazy dude in a Santa hat lip-synching to Katy Perry, we don't know! And you, reading this, don't tell me you never took a selfie before! We all know you have. Tell me you have NEVER walked somewhere, saw your reflection, and checked yourself out than took a selfie? That’s what I thought. I bet you just scrolled through all your photos which consisted of… hmmm… I don’t know a million selfies? Now I’m not saying selfies are terrible, it’s just you can’t take them every three minutes!  You could be in New Zealand for all I know. So, let’s get to the point here. Do. Not. Take. Too. Many. Selfies.

Did you notice how I paused after each word there? Pretty cool huh? Yeah? No? Okay. So instead of selfies, do something else like: go roller-skating in the Grand Canyon, ride a Llama into the sunset, bathe in a tub full of oranges. Wait, don’t do the last one, it’s illegal. Anyways I hope I either made you laugh or realize how many selfies you take. Goodbye child. Wait that sounds creepy, I’ll just go for now. Bye!!

Is Bullying still an issue?

 

 Our perspectives on the issue

Marco- Yes bullying is still an issue because people judge before they get to know one another. Kids judge each other by what clothes they're wearing and if they're not wearing the right clothes, they may be bullied. My solution to stop bullying is to show the bullies what will happen if they keep bullying.

Diane- I think bullying is still a problem, because it leads to suicide and leaves a scar on the victim. Being judged for your looks, getting beaten up for being weak and spreading rumors can really hurt a person. My solution to stop bullying is to have people put themselves in the shoes of others.

Ralph, Elizabeth and Kaylen- We've seen people fist fight, cyberbully, feel outcasted or alone and feel like they can't do anything anymore. Our solutions to stop bullying are: Stand up for kids if they're getting bullied, tell an adult or teacher if someone is getting bullied, make the victim feel better, confront the bully in a positive way.
