Yes, this is my life

Anonymity is for AA and the church Confessional. It has no place on the Internet. I got this email today: " Dear Misty, Congress has a plan to change the Internet forever. A bill they're debating right now would  give the government power to shut down whole websites, and even let corporations say which websites should be shut down . That means a huge corporation could have any website even suspected of violating a copyright shut down -- no questions asked. The government could then  completely block all access to sites as big as Facebook or YouTube  if  one  person posts  one  thing on those websites that corporations don't want online. Most major entertainment companies have come out in support of the bill, but despite swirling rumors, the huge video-gaming company Electronic Arts (EA) has yet to take an official stance.

 First! A small victory, through many many reports Facebook FINALLY shut down the hateful mock memorial page for Amanda Cummings. I went toe to toe with several members of the hate groups 4Chan and 9Gag on the memorial page. The major misconception with them is she committed suicide over a boy and she was a slut.

Socially, its the most uncomfortable time of our lives. There is so much going on in that period of time. Our peers dont make it any easier. When we look back at our teenage selves we hopefully can giggle but dont be surprised if you find yourself screaming ABORT MISSION! and backing out of that though ASAP. Everything is so important as a teenager. Your hair, your clothes, your car, your behavior, your choices. One wrong move and you are a social pariah. God forbid you be too smart, or pretty or anything because people will pick on you. We just wanted to blend into the background. Tiptoe by the whole day. If I could offer up advice to teenage girls it would be...It gets easier. Girls pick on each other because they feel inferior. If they call you ugly, its the opposite. They thin
