Myspace can take a life!
This past week i spent some time going through and reading what all people had to say about myspace. Their were some interesting comments made as well as many diffrent sites that talked as myspace being used to bully kids. I was very interested in the story about the 13 year old girl so i got lucky that it was the first thing that popped up on google. Megan Meier was the young girl that took her life in this case. A man made a fake account and talked to her pretending that he was only 16 and told her really mean stuff like "the world would be a better place without her." Who would have ever known that something like myspace could lead to something that terrible. The man that was accused of this told the judge and jury that he is not guilty of this crime. I guess he is dumb and has not read the article that we had to read! It is so much easier for inverstigators to go in and find out all that happened behind the words or pictures on the screen. When i was younger i had a myspace and i can still remember all those creeper people that would try to add me as a friend and i always excepted them and looking back i have no clue why the heck i ever did that. I am very lucky that i never had to encounter a mean man such as the one that made this poor little girl take her life. Little words can make a diffrence in a life.

Tracking the bad guys
The article that we were REQUIRED! to read was a very interesting article. I find myself dreading the face that i have to read or watch videos for this class but a couple minutes in to them i am all about them. I had no clue of all the things the police could do through social networking sites. You would think that many of the people who where posting the things they do would think about the fact that others could see the things they were posting. So as much as these sites have been leading to bad things in the world they have also been leading to many other things that are good for the world and for the people in it. So many people think its way cool to post a picture of them with a gun but what if somebody they knew was killed with the same gun they had in their hand? Even if they werent the ones to shoot that person the police would go to them as one of the first suspects. Getting online and checking out the social networking sites can either be a good thing or a bad thing and lately they have all been good. They have helped save lives and put all the bad people behind bars.
Who are you on Myspace?
Myspace makes it where you can change who you are or be the real you. Many people change their looks and age. This can cause many people problems but they do not care and do it anyways. It also is where many people put their music and try to become something big. But with so many people trying to be famous who will ever really make it? should they try Youtube?
