Being Mean Behind the Screen

Kittieme informs on the dangers of Cyber Bullying.

It was a normal day. I groggily got out of bed, did my hair and makeup, brushed my teeth, put on new clothes, and ate some breakfast. I then realized I had some time left over before I had to be someplace, and logged on my computer. I checked a few of my favorite sites, and was instantly bombarded with y-mails and chat logs filled with links to a certain website. They said it was the new burn book. I clicked the link, and saw something that was shocking: me

But see, it wasn't just me - it was my friends too. The worst part of the whole situation was it wasn't just your normal "burn book". This website had actual pictures of me, my friends, and other Whyvillians. I hated seeing my picture on a site that wasn't Facebook, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I didn't like having my picture out there for anyone to see; that's why I made sure my Facebook settings were for friends only. That's when I realized something: the Internet can be a scary place.

A Golden Age

IKnewIt2 remembers the old times.

The Whyville Times. Everyone has their own thoughts and ideas when they see those words pop up. For most it's all about getting articles accepted and rejected, becoming a writer, or even just simply being a part of the Times by reading, rating, and posting about articles on the BBS. These thoughts haven't really changed from the past, but as a whole the Times is definitely different.

First of all, I guess I can't say that thoughts are the same. I've been a part of Whyville since the summer of 2008 and I can say the Times has changed so much. There used to be so many articles in many different sections we don't seen today. Almost every week you could read a fresh new article from an aspiring writer. Then you had your articles from your favorite beloved writers. Everyone put heart and soul into the Times and whatever they were writing about. I'm not saying that the writers now don't care about the Times and what they write, but I'm pretty sure that a lot of people agree with me when I say the Times is not like it used to be.
