blog post 10

For my digital story I plan on presenting a story from this past summer. This story is about when my girlfriend and I saved three kittens from being run over on State Route 5. The story will be presented through a powerpoint presentation which will include pictures from that day. I also plan on explaining the story in person with the powerpoint to show pictures of where i was, what happened and through some emotional appeal some pictures of the kittens that we saved. That night was an eventful night and i believe that it is a worthy story to be told to the class.

Blog Post 8 (problem statement)



Our Social Action Project is addressing the issue cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is a major issue in today's society because the technology that we have access to. Over one-half of teens have been cyber-bullied, and one in ten teens tell a parent that they have been cyber-bullied. An estimated 4,400 teens commit suicide every year because of bullying. There are over 100 suicide attempts for every successful suicide attempt. Suicide ranks third when it comes to what causes the most death in young people in America. These are young people who haven't had the chance to truly experience life yet and they see no other way to escape their bullying other than taking their own life. Cyber-bullying needs to be addressed more in today's society because these young people could be the next world leaders and scientists but because they are bullied so badly they decide life isn't worth living that way. What my group and I plan on doing about this is we plan on making accounts throughout social media to post statistics. We plan on making accounts on Instagram, Twitter, and posting through Yik Yak. Also we will post flyers throughout campus to encourage students and faculty to visit out accounts. Cyber-bullying needs to be taken more seriously in America so we can save lives.
