The girls nude photo epidemic

In this article they talked about how a girl sent a naked picture of herself to her boyfriend at the time because they supposedly were really starting to like each other, even though they were in eighth grade. So she sent the picture and they broke up some two weeks after and the picture was forwarded from the old boyfriend to another girl. The message then continued to spread on and the whole school eventually was looking at the picture. She was humiliated just because of one picture and then the kids were all in trouble with the law herself included and the kids who decided to spread around the message. I think that this is just ridiculous to be sending nude pictures like this especially at such a young age, if your going to get naked, just do it in person like honestly.

Camera Techniques in the Video

After watching the video, the camera techniques that I liked were the angled ones of the employees doing pilates and the short little clips of them working.

“After losing nine seniors from last year, we had to fill their shoes with underclassmen and have had a lot of juniors step up this year.”

With a lot of talent and athleticism, the girls’ basketball team has managed to work hard in the off season and achieve a solid team.

“When one of our captains/my sister tore her ACL, our team really had to adjust and other people needed to step up.”

The team was devastated with the injury and loss to captain Amanda Beckman after doing so well in the first eight games, scoring an undefeated record of 8-0. The team had troubles trying to adjust with the newest changes and went on to lose the next two games.

“We stayed strong and kept our focus to begin winning again after losing”

The team then went on to finish the regular season with a record of 20-6, getting second place in the South Suburban Conference and had high hopes of making their way to the state championship.

“Our goal for the rest of the season is to beat Lakeville North in the section championship game and make it to state.”

Reporting for the Flash, this is Ben.

Goose

For reading time today, we saw and read about a goose that has a unique relationship with an old man. Every morning the goose waits for him to come back on his scooter and follows him around like they are true pals. If another goose tries to come close to him or even another animal the goose will get mad and scare off the other animal. To go home at night, since he does not want to bring the goose home with him, he usually has someone lock the goose in a cage long enough for him to get away or will just sit at a bench and wait for the goose to fall asleep.
