Is it time for us to open our eyes, yet?

There's so much going on around us, that most of us probably don't even notice.  There's world hunger, and homeless people, and war. What are we, as young adults to do to help? We may think that the world is too big for us to voice our opinions. There is also the fact that we feel that the older generations wont take the time out of there busy day to listen to our ideas.
But if you think about it, it's the younger generations that are going to make the most inpact on how the world is going to be in, say, 20 years. So, if it is the younger ones that we need to aim all these issues at, why not make into something that they like. VIDEO GAMES. Who doesn't like video games? No one, that's right.
Instead of making games teaching younger ones to kill people, (zombies, that's okay. I believe there will be a zombie apocalypse.) or stealing cars, and buying hookers and alcohol, they could use their skill for something that wont give them bad ideas. 
We could teach them about recycling, or animal abuse, or teach them how to help the homeless. All we have to do is make something that cathces the attention of our generation. Once we do that, our generation will be unstoppable. We will be able to change the world for the better.

( I have no problem with video games, except that I suck at them. And one day, there will be a zombie apocalypse. I promise, you.)

I need some privacy, gosh.



When most log onto their computer, they think that they are safe; they think that they are invincible. They will go onto chat-rooms and kinds of other websites. People all over the world can log onto the same page as you. There could be 1,000,000 people on the same thing as you are.
You may say that it's not a big deal, but it could be. Some people aren't very nice. There are creepers, pedophiles, and molesters that go into chatrooms and websites that kids our age like to go. They go in there and they have a different identity. They can be who-ever and whatever they want. They can be super deceitful and get information from you. They can get your age, whether you're a male or female, where you live, if you have any siblings, and anything they want to know about you. They can, because they are who they want to be, not who they are really.
Once they get that information, they can do what ever they want with it.  They could show up at your house, they could go out and meet you somewhere; they could even kidnap you and do horrible things to you. I know it's really horrible to think about, but it's always a possibility. Never think that something like that will never happen to you, cause it can. No one is special, no one is exempt for stuff like this.
So the next time you log on, make sure that you do not give out any personal information like: Photos, age, address, last name, where you go on the weekends, or what school  you go to.
Everyone here does a pretty good job about keeping their personal stuff personal. They don't post thing on the internet that shouldn't be there. If they do put something that is a little too identifiable, we are here to help them. We will let them know so that they can change it.

I'm just winging it ;)

I can already tell that this is going to take awhile for me to get use to. I really hope I'm not in over my head. I want to go my best, cause this is something I want to keep doing.
As soon as I think I got the hang of it, or that I'm on top of everything; something new comes up. It's not so much hard, as it is busy. You have to keep uploading, and editing, and adding, and a whole bunch of jazz.
I honestly think it will be worth it though. I know that I'm not the only one feeling this way. There's a few other first timers in my class, too. Along with ones who have had it for awhile. I know that if I need help, they will do their best to help me. I hope they know that I will do my best to help them, too, if I can.
So right now, I'm just going to go with the flow. I'm going to keep doing what I already know how to do, and learn what others have to teach me.
