Cyber Predators

Paraphrase : to restate something using other words, especially in order to make it simpler or shorter

Idea 1: You shouldt put your computer were they could get broken. Always place your computers in a location that other people could see what your doing. Some people should learn about technology.

Idea 2: You should teach your students and staff on how to interact on a student concern. One person is talking stuff that isnt true about somebody to other people. That can start to make students behave in a bad way.

Idea 3: Try to convince parents to go on google and search their students name. Also to visit the social networks that your parents use. Also they should see who they talk to on blogs and their friends. You could put some on private only for your friends to see. Some parents are concerned that they are invading there childs privacy.

Idea 4: You should put some of your time looking at a system that shows were most child molesters live and are. It helps you know were they are at so you dont have to worry if they live by you or not. It also lets you know if they live by a school or not.

Idea 5: There are more concerns about cyber preditors. Some colleges check on your social networks that you used to go one. They would check who you would talk to and they would look at your pictures too. They would look to see if they could find pictures of nudity, drinking, or any other pictures that are bad.

Bullycide

In the passage that I read that many poeple are be messed with because of who they like but they are being messed with on the internet. One person was putting another video on the internet that some guy in sexually active with the same gender as himself. People messed with guys to the point that they ended up killing themselves. I learned that people who are guy always get bullied because of their interests are different then other people either online or in face.

 People should just mind therre buisness about other peoples interests in there sexual life. I think that  it is their choice on who they like and what they do with those people. I think that people who mess with other people online are scared to tell people stuff in their face. I dont think it's right to bully people at all but expecually because of the sexual interests.
