...everywhere you go and in everything you do, you will always see self-respect or lack of self-respect somewhere. Have you ever noticed that the self-respect has changed dramatically in younger and older people today? People do not realize the real meaning of self-respect today and that is a sad situation. If you don’t have respect for yourself who is going to respect you? What exactly is self-respect? Self-respect is when you value yourself whether it’s your mind; way of thinking, or the way you carry yourself. Self-respect would be having proper esteem or dignity of your character. By that I mean your character is defined by your own moral values how you came up in life has a lot to do with this. When you look at what is going on in the world today, you can see all kinds of people with the lack of self-respect for themselves. On the Internet, on the streets, no matter where it is that you may go. For example: on the internet you will find teenage or some women who claim to love themselves so much but they degrade themselves over the internet by putting unnecessary pictures of themselves on websites for attention. This is not self-respect at all. Self-respect is based on what you do and can be an ongoing effort. It is not about what you did in the past it is really about what you are doing now. It not about you telling people “Hey I have self-respect”, It’s about you talking the talk and walking the walk. It is important to realize that your actions do add up. People who have little...

May not be the best at times but hey, we are human right. Our individuality is what makes us so diverse. I give props to the people who step outside of that “norm” of following what others want you to do. So you wear clothes you shouldn’t or dress how others view as inappropriate, and the point is? The fact of the matter is it is your body; you are the ones wearing the clothes, so what if people don’t accept that, it is not the end of the world. Those who have a problem with how you look or dress probably do or did the same thing at a time in their life. We spend too much time looking at others when we should really be...

...Cyber bullying Cyberbullying is the use of the Internet and other related technologies to harm or harass other people, in a deliberate, repeated and hostile manner. Nearly 43% of all the youth have been bullied online. 1 in 4 has had it happen more than once, which tells us that we have to do something about the problem. If kids can’t have fun on the Internet without people are making fun of them – that’s a problem. Some kids might even bully other kids so they can avoid being bullied themselves. Everyone knows what bullying means and most have had experiences with it. Either they have been bullies themselves, they have been victims of bullying, or they known someone who has been bullied. With the Internet bullying can be taken to the next level. It is now much harder to avoid the bullies because they can reach you everywhere. The Internet has also given the bullies an extra distance to their victims, which makes them capable of increasing the severity of their threats and negative messages, making it even harder to be the victim, and that’s why more than 65% of the older students thinks that cyberbullying is a big problem, because they have experienced it themselves and can give some advices to the next generation. Another thing why this problem is so “popular” might be because of the young people are using their cell phones nonstop – and over 80% of the teens uses a cell phone regularly, making it the most common medium of cyberbullying.

...Some people don’t like to be in a classroom because they don’t feel comfortable with a lot of students around them. It might be hard for them to study a lesson or concentrate on their work in the classroom when there are people around. Also you might think online classes are easier, because you just have to sit by yourself and follow the instructions whenever you want and anytime you feel like. Sometimes when you learn by yourself, you get tired. You need some break and you can easily be distracted by any sites on internet or anything similar to it. When you go to school or college you get a schedule and you follow it. You don’t really skip your classes unless you don’t want to attend one of them. You know that you have to be in class and nothing really can distract you from studying. Attending your classes, listening to a teacher I think is more interesting that just staying home by yourself with just a computer. You can find some teachers boring but some of them you’ll actually enjoy and it makes your lesson more interesting. I think attending a class is better than just staying home by yourself with the computer monitor. There are a lot of different courses you can do online and for some students it might be the right choice.

...to pursue the “American Dream”. The opportunities that college present you with are endless and are open to however you choose to use them. As we are occupying our time about the limits we make ourselves we should be working to broaden our horizon in all aspects. Frank Bruni discussed specific points about what he believes the college experience should be such as networking, involvement in school activities and social media. Moving on from anything you have spent a lot time with or doing takes a lot of willpower to complete. Though this may be hard doing, moving on to become something greater is key to your success. Frank Bruni stresses this in his New York Times article. When in college, students tend to lean towards what they used to do in previous years as a form of comfort and support. This causes students to stay in a “gated community” per say. Students should be networking and expanding themselves rather than trying to recreate their high school years. Joining new groups and clubs instead of reaching to find identical substitutes allows you to broaden your horizons in all social suspects. Students believe college is too much about finding resources that aid them with their own personal preferences when they should be working to diversify their surroundings to maximize their own potential. Acquiring skills to break past these barriers is the hardest part for most people. Having to move away from what you are accustomed to doing and trying to find new ways to be successful...
