Teenagers- You gotta love ‘em April 16, 2008

Today’s topic is teenagers. When you think of teenagers you most likely think of troublemakers, or those kids that broke your window last Friday. Well that maybe true but they all aren’t that bad.

The real topic is what teenagers need from their parents as little kids, young adults and as adults. When these people were little they depended on their parents for everything. They needed so much from their parents like: love, attention, food, shelter, and care. Now as young adults they don’t need those things so much anymore. All they need now is the basics; food, shelter, love, and discipline.

The most important thing a parent can give a teenager is space. They need their time by themselves and with their friends. To me my friends are like a whole new family, a new group of people to care about and give them the advice and help they need. If a parent gives them a lot of space they will know that their parents understand them and that they can tell them things that are going on. Now this leads to the topic of what makes a parent a good one?

To me being a good parent means being there for your kids. If your teenager gets in a fight with her/his best friend, just being there to listen to the story. Giving them the advice they need when they need it and giving them their space. To these people space and freedom is everything. That is just my opinion. Tell me yours by leaving me a comment.

TED Talks April 16, 2008

 

TED Talks

TED Talks is a conference for Technology, Entertainment and Design. It costs a lot of money to go to this conference and speak to the other people that have paid to show you what goes on. Our class is having our own TED Talks and now it is coming to an end. We want to show you what it has been like to research this project and to teach you about it too.

The project that I worked on was Biodiversity. Biodiversity is all the living things on Earth that include: plants, animals, micro-organisms and the ecosystems they live in. Researching this project is hard work.

Researching this project was hard work because there was so much information and some of the sites had false information. False information can give you the wrong idea on what your topic needs and you need to be aware of that. Look at the information on the website to see what the content in it is. Look at other sites to see if they have the same information as the one site you were looking at. The content of my project comes from many of the sites I looked at as they had the same information.

The content of my project had no statistics and I could don’t find any graphs to show anything. Also there is nothing being done to help keep biodiversity safe from loggers. I think there should be laws against these problems and there should be only a certain amount of trees to be cut down each day.
