The 21 century is very nice, very new, and especially living in a big city like Los Angeles everything in changing all the time. There’s a lot of very bad things that can distract a teenager from their school; or studies in LA drugs, alcohol, sex, violence in other town its not like that because it’s a small community and everyone knows each other. When you’re a teenager you do crazy things and don’t think with your head. When I walk home I see little teenage girls drinking beer or smoking weed or doing other drug its not healthy for them or their body system, I think about how stupid they are to waste their life doing those kind of things they give addicted to it but they don’t care.
Some people say this generation will be the worst of all. The last one was the working class generation who knows what they will call this generation. We have a lot of new technology that teens get distracted by like ipods, computers, cell phones or any other things. In this century teens have more jobs opportunities and things that could help us in the future. But most teenagers just want to have fun go to theme parks or play video games or just hang out with their friends.
This generation has to be the small one not the one that drops out of high school because you just didn’t feel like finishing school or you just got caught up in the drugs. Teens in lower class income communities should be trying hard to get into a college instead of smoking weed or pounding a 40 (drinking beer). The UC’s or Cal states mostly look at students with a higher income or their academic career. Your grades in 12 grade don’t really account because the colleges just look at your sometimes 9-11 grades that point of working your butt off when your in those grades.
I want to go to Cal state la or long beach that’s why I’m trying to do the best in school but sometimes the laziness gets to me and I don’t want to do anything. I know a few students that want to go to college but most of the teenagers at West Adams prep high school don’t want to go to college they want to work and think of money I say that’s why you have your parents their, there to support you and the life path you take.

Facebook essay
The articles we read were about social networks how young adults or teens put all
their information and they don’t know who can be seeing them. Facebook is the most
popular social network at the moment the first popular social network too me was
Myspace it offered the same thing every social network does sending message , chating
with your friends, seeing your friends pictures ,creating your own website. But this young
man studing at Harvard university came up with the idea “the facebook” . Its said that
that the Winklevoss brothers came to Mark Zuckerberg with the idea of the Harvard
connection a website that lets students from Harvard have the own website like Myspace
or Friendster but mark had a better idea.
A social network that was even better than any other network so he started
creating facebook or known back then the facebook. Mark needed some money and he
asked he friend Eduardo he told him all about the website and he was going to make him
CFO of the company. Going back to the point of this essay is that a lot of people but their
information and don’t even know whose looking at your profile it could be anyone. The
point about facebook is a social network to talk to people or to met new people but its not
to put all your information out there. If you comment a crime the detectives they will look
at all your websites myspace twitter and especially your facebook people put more
information about them selves in facebook than anywhere else and the website asks you
for a lot of information name, date of birth email address I ask myself why do they need all
this information but me cant it be just your name and email.
It makes me wonder if they government is behind all of this their just checking up on
everyone but why would they taste their time to see everyone’s facebook accounts. Maybe
its because they need all this information to make the site better but I doubt it. Facebook is
now worth over 25 billion I was shock when I first read it in the Forbes website in
December. How can a website in 8 years valued over that much money the public these
days just goes along with anything that comes up over 150 million people are login into
Facebook all over the world. What’s cool about facebook is that its coming out with new
things every year and its much faster than myspace or any other website there is.
Young adults or teens don’t know that a stocker or a anyone with a sick mind can be
following them on facebook that’s why don’t post on your wall what your doing or where
your going to go. A women got robbed because she posted on your wall that she would be
going out when she came back home most of her stuff was gone that’s what she gets for
being stupid. All this, is the same as creating your avatar a graphical image that
represents a person, as on the Internet. Some video games take that to a extreme level
letting you create your own house, career, character basically any and everything you can
image. The internet is virtual chat web you can met anyone in it .
That’s how boys and girls get in trouble with all the sexual predators out in the
Internet. I believe that’s all the games like that’s should be banned from little immature
kids or teens because you have no idea who is out there. it’s the same as Facebook its all
a game that we play on the internet because how do you know if a person is watching very
post everything you or your friends post on your wall. I have a Facebok account and I
know all the risks that where is but I never put where I’m at or who I’m talking to. A lot
of young teens than me have one and they put the most stupidest things on their status I
don’t get how they put that because people know where they are and can rob their house
or steal something or even steal your ID numbers.
An avatar is your second life you created but it requires information from your real life
and if you put that information out there everyone will steal your Indention. My advice to
everyone who has a face book or avatar is to keep it a secret. Don’t put your information
out there, there’s crazy people out there that do very bad things.
