Are you thinking of opening a networking site, maybe its Myspace or Facebook? Well, there are many things that you should know before you get access to the world of the internet. For instance, when starting a page, you do not want to display your email address on your page, because people that you do not know might try to access your email account and get your information. Another thing that you should not do on your new network page is to not put your whole name. With that, people are able to find what school you go to and Google you to see if you have gotten any awards in your lifetime. You might also not want to put your address, because, well let’s face it; people are going to know where you live. Also, please do not put your phone number on your page, people can call you at anytime of the day and could stalk you. You should also not give the location of where your job is, if you are working, because, again you could get stalked by people. And if you need to be a certain age to access a page do not lie about your age, because it can lead to a whole bunch of lies. And it won’t be good on your part.
Now that you basically have your page assembled, you might get approached by people you just don’t know. Do not be tempted by that. If a random person goes on your page and just saying nice things, be cautious! Don’t reply back. This can lead to a dangerous situation. If you totally ignore this step, you might be asked by the person in the future to meet up at a place. Do not do that either! It can be someone you never saw, that just lied about the person you thought they were which can lead to you getting hurt, or worse, killed!
Most networking sites have a little section where you are able tell about yourself. In that section, please do not say thing like ‘talk to me I’m friendly’, ‘Let’s meet up if you’re cute’, words and phrases. Because that will provoke people to talk to you, which might end up it the two of you meeting, and that can be a horrible situation in itself. So you should take all these steps into consideration to be safe of the world of the internet.

Letter to Hillary Clinton
July 25, 2007
Senator Hillary Rodham ClintonLarkin at Exchange 726 Exchange StreetSuite 511Buffalo, NY 14210
Dear Hillary Clinton,
My name is Crystal and I am a high school student, living in Southfield, Michigan. As most of America knows, you are a real busy woman, who is dealing with a lot of things such as being a senator for New York, and running for president. But I feel that I should inform you about the affects of global warming and how it is affecting the United State and the whole world too. It has been said that over the last 50 years global warming has increased tremendously and has become a major world epidemic. Things such as animals’ habitat and the global temperature have been affected. Other things like the polar ice cap in the Artic have melted, which have caused an increase of floods (Hurricane Katrina for example.). Even with these problems, there are plethora of ways to fix this issue.
The main point I want to get across is that there is too much carbon dioxide in the air, and that is because people are only driving one person to a car. With that being said, I feel we need to get global warming more in the public’s eye. We need to be aware of what’s going on with our planet and we need to do more things to decrease this awful habit. It would be nice if there could be more commercials, and advertisements like there are for alcohol, for something important like global warming. Other ways that you could help this problem is to insist on tabulating what we recycle. We should have the American public recycle not just cans, but boxes, paper, and plastic. We need to increase this because those objects are taking up space in landfills and those are taking more than 5 years to decompose.
Again, we need to just increase knowledge about global warming, and just expand the way we save energy and gas. More and more people are not caring anymore and we need for them to care for the sake of the world, and future generations to come. I would like to thank you for reading this and taking the time to at least have this on your mind for a minute. Thank you for your time and good luck with your politic life.
Sincerely,
Crystal

global warming
Over the last 50 years, global warming has increased tremendously. Scientists can only think that it will continue to increase as large amount of carbon dioxide continues to be released into the air. As a result of global warming, polar ice caps have melted, there are more floods, and deadly tropical diseases like malaria have doubled. What are humans to do? Save energy, not have those notions of one person to a car, recycle, and not be wasteful. Easy, right? Well, if it was, then global warming would not be as bad as it is.
Are you the type of person who leaves plugs in the outlet? Just about everyone has a cell phone. From grandma, to little kids just starting the 1st grade, it seems that cell phones are the growing trend. If everyone leaves his/her charger in the outlet, that is a lot of energy being wasted. Other things are being left in electrical outlets as well: blow dryers, toasters, or even the game systems we know and love. That energy is being used, but not really “being used”. If you can take the time to unplug those items, you are not only saving energy for the planet, you are also saving money on your electric bill.
Not only has global warming affected the earth, and soon the people on it, but it has affected the wildlife in ways unimaginable. Populations have changed, and if this continues, ecosystems will be incredibly different. We all know and love bears. Well, scientists predict that as it gets hotter, the bears will have to migrate to a colder place. Bears need a tundra climate to hibernate, and you can only find that in the north. If we let this continue, we will get to a point where they will have nowhere to migrate. Other types of animals that are sensitive to heat are in danger, with this trend, it could get to a point where these animals will die out.
Recycling is another way to help the earth. But who has time? Many people do not feel as though it is important enough to drive to a local store and spend 10-15 minutes putting bottles in a machine and, for most states except Michigan, only getting 5cents a can. People these days don’t have the motivation it’s almost pointless to them. But I guess that’s because people don’t have enough information about it. What do I mean? Well, the average time it takes to successfully decompose a plastic can is about 5-10 years (depending on size). That is excess space in landfills that could be used for things that can be decomposed fast, like food. So I think it’s worth it to recycle, being able to use old material and make it new is a lot more beneficial than using more material to make what we could have re-used.
Global warming is an epidemic that is not only going to affect us, but our future generations as well. Endangering wildlife is just one effect of global warming, but there are many more. We all have heard of karma, “What goes around comes around,” global warming will come back and bite us. And maybe after reading this you’ll try to help for a week, then get tired and just stop; Before you do think about what you’re doing, it’s going to get worse, maybe not right this second but soon. The least you can do is recycle that Starbucks coffee cup you are drinking right now.
