But Lori's right

It's sad a 16 year old is writing in such a way... sigh. America.

Shame on You!

Shame on those of you who felt the need to bully a 16 year old trying to voice his opinion. As with email, it is socially acceptable to shorthand words and phrases on a blog post. You should feel feel bad about picking on a child.

Sigh. . . school teachers

"so no body is makeing it."

I guess the school teacher thinks that a 16 year old, after 10 years of education, thinks that "makeing" is shorthand for making, and that "no body" is shorthand for nobody.

Public education. . . like Hitler said, you indoctrinate the young.

Eh, Lori, chill. You were young once.

I'm an English teacher and the 16 year old was just communicating in shorthand, the way a lot of teens do these days. That doesn't mean that they don't know how to use proper spelling and grammar, many just prefer to use their own way of communicating, the way they do when they text-message each other.

The more serious matter on the internet is the appalling amount of hatred that people spew at each other - and at the slightest provocation. Now, that's sad.

Crime, the environment, the economy, deserve your attention than youth-culture, which will take on another form in a few years.

Spelling wasn't correct but hey it was a mistake right?

Jack Conway of CA @ Nov 26, 2009 03:18:27 AM

Lori's spelling....

Lori,

The correct spelling of "hav" is "have".....go back to school to learn how to use spell check!

Rachel of FL @ Nov 25, 2009 21:15:26 PM

Lori, your spelling sucks too!

the correct spelling of "hav" is "have".....can you feel the egg on your face yet?

". . . . .they are wandering in a haze of media, drugs and inactivity." Ha! Get a grip you old hag.
