The Life Of A Cyber Bullying Victim…

Over the last couple of weeks my four friends and I have been working on a movie. The movie is based on the life of a cyber bullying victim. We are going to Melbourne this week to attend a celebration day for “learning online”, it’s at the MCG. We’re going to Melbourne on the train on Wednesday afternoon, then staying the night in Melbourne before coming home on Thursday night.

Hello everyone. I am going to add my highlights and low lights of my past week.

Highlights:

  • On Sunday my soccer team went to Ballarat, we won 12-0!!!!
  • I found out my friend Indi is expecting a younger brother or sister at the end of the year.
  • Kaitlin came over for a sleepover, we went shopping and had lots of fun :) .

Low lights:

  • It has been extremely cold!
  • My Internet at home is being terrible! We got wireless broadband and it always cuts out on me, it’s driving me insane.

This is my very first diary entry, we have been asked by our ICT teacher to create this page and write on it once weekly. We have to write about what we’ve been doing in our lives and what we’re currently learning at school.

Recently in English we have been working on writing an argument. The topic of this argument is “Homework should not be necessary”. I like this topic, because I believe it’s very true and I don’t like homework at all! During my speech I talked about some of the main reasons I think we should not have homework, which included: out of school sporting activities; not having the required technology; wanting to socialise; having relaxation time; and six hours of being at school is enough learning for one day.

During maths we have been doing a statistics assignment, it’s been a bit difficult but I’m nearly finished.

On the Sunday just passed my soccer team had our second game of the season. Both of the teams we played were very good and we most unfortunately lost both games.

This coming Sunday is my 14thbirthday. I am meant to be playing soccer in Ballarat, but my family is going to Geelong then to Melbourne. Thursday night my older sister is graduating from 5 years at Deakin University, doing an architecture course.

my holidays (:

MY HOLS

My computer use at home.

My comuter use at home.

1. I do /don’t use …….(write here the 2 above sites or other chat rooms you use)
I do use Myspace, Facebook and Windows Live Messenger.

2. I have about 100-200 contacts /friends (they have different names on different sites).
I have met the majority of them.   

3. Have you added friends of friends.
Yes

4. Do you take up suggestions from the site for  “you might like to add”?
No.

5. Do you use second life? (or other  virtual worlds?)
No.

6. What chat rooms /instant messaging do you use?
Windows Live Messenger and Facebook.

7. twitter.      do you use it?
No I don’t.

8. How many people are friends that you have never met?
Very few.

9. Do your parents ever look at your wall?
No. But my siblings do.

10. Do you have your address or phone number or full name or birthdate on your account?
Full name and birthdate yes.

Do you think that Formal style, proper grammer and good spelling ARE important in student posts and comments?

  • Is a formal structure or style for writing posts and comments necessary?
    I think that using formal structure and a correct style or writing is very important to use even on the internet. It’s very difficult for people- especially the older generations- to understand some ’slang’ and ‘lingo’ that teenagers use.
  • How do you feel about your grammar and spelling being corrected in posts and comments?
    I’d definitely rather have proper grammer and spelling than having words spelt incorrectly or shortened. I think it’s up to the teacher if they want to correct the students writing because it’s representing our class and school. Even when I use my phone for texting I usually always use proper words and correct grammer, that’s just what I think should be done. I don’t think it’s much different from handing in an assignment in English and having your teacher correct the grammer and spelling, if it’s always left wrong then the person will never know how to get it right.
  • Health

    At our school we have a class called Health. It’s basically teaching us about things in life. The unit we’re doing at the moment is Drugs and Alcohol. Today in Health we experimented with pouring what we think are average sized drinks for different alcohols. The people who had a go did pretty well, getting really close to the standard drink levels.

    Joke Time…

    Today for ICT we’ve been asked to find a joke that we like and post it on our blogs. I found my joke at http://plainjokes.com/index.php?topic=101.0

    This is the joke:

    There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire become a great writer.

    When asked to define “great” he said, “I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level, stuff that will make them scream, cry, howl in pain and anger!”

    He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

    Whats New?

    Last week at school was a pretty good week for me. We got our new net books (mini laptops) so we can now use those for most of our classes. Then we had our outer school swimming day. I didn’t go into any events but my friends and I had great fun taking pictures and cheering on other Hawkesdale students. This coming weekend is Labour day holiday,  so the Port Fairy Folk Festival is on. I usually don’t go and I don’t think I’ll go this year. My friends and I have planned a movie marathon instead.

    What’s My Future?

    IMG_1419This is a photo of my very own palm.
    We had to upload these photos as a part of our ICT class. Now we’re meant to write a bit about what we’d like to do in the future. I’m not really sure what I want to do right now but I would like to do  something that includes practising medicine. Or another thing I was thinking about is journalism.
