Japan Tsunami

There really is not much to say about the disaster in Japan. It was a huge catastrophy because of all of the damage it did. I can still remember seeing the wave of debree washing over a long open farmland. Many people's bodies still wont even be found, because when the tides receide, they will pull many of the corpses, along with anyone who's managed to survive, but is in the water, straight into the ocean. The tsunami was a horrible disaster for Japan.
The tsunami also brings up many interesting questions about Japan. For one, why is Japan's architecture and design so resiliant to natural disasters, but has almost nothing in place to defend from a tsunami? Also, why were so many nuclear plants placed in such a dangerous place to have a nuclear plant? And third, why was Japan refusing help at first, because it brings up the question as to whether or not they are hiding something. The tsunami brought up some interesting questions, but i just hope we will get the answers soon.

Books Vs e-books

I really like the idea of e-Books, because it would help cut down on our reliance on cutting down trees. Also, e-books are a much better financially, because they wont wear away like real books. e-Books are much more convenient, especially with the new Ipads, since students wont have to carry around, or even have to remember to bring heavy text books. Personally, since my backpack is full, e-Books will really help me with lightening my backpack and giving me more space to bring things in. e-Books will really help me out.

Cyber Bullying

Personally, I have not seen any bullying at BHS, and the kids seem to really be conscientious about keeping it that way. There are of caurse a few kids who like to think they have all the power and are all-mighty, but I have not seen a kid who ahs any problem with referring to them as jackasses. Even though I dont see any physical bullying, I can definetly see that many kids could be cyber bullying, because its just too easy to do. On the internet, your true face or feelings wont be shown in what your telling someone, so its easy to get into someone's head since they only see whats being told, over the unreliable person doing the telling. It also allows kids to be everywhere at once and know much more about the kid who they are trying to bully. I have not seen any bullying of any kind within the school, or on the internet, but I dont feel as if it is truely not there.
