Newspaper article: Modern Diaries

This aticle is pretty interesting. College students from different colleges posted some things. They were saying that they use to have diaries, but now they are turned to a blog. When you're young you don't realize that many things that you write about in your diary isn't so personal or important. The older you get, you see that half of those things could go onto a blog. You could let people from over the world read it.

Blogging is pretty cool because you could express your feelings on it without anyone knowing who you are. That's what many people do. Diaries were once very personal, but now people post their diaries on the internet, but anonomously.

Parkway also have a policy. It states: When a student in the Parkway School District gets on the Internet and makes a threat or expresses suicidal thoughts, school personnel handle it as they would if that student had written a note to a friend saying such things: They pull the student into the office and call the parents. I agree to that policy. I feel that every school district should have a policy like that because it could be much more serious than you think.
