The world's STILL messed up.
We've been here for 2 million years, and we're killing our very home in less than 100 years. Nice.
Congrats to all who've contributed.
One day when Satan takes over this world for 616 years, I think this planet will cease to exist.
World Problems.
1) America's full of social problems, how to care about external affairs when your internal's messed up?
2) Middle East, South America, Africa, most of Asia are considerably poorer than the western countries.
3) Rich poor income gap is widening.
4)...alot more things.
Environmental, Political(Talk about Nuclear ****ing Weapons), and all other sorts of ****.
I know I'm being random here, but we're all on this earth, we're living here together. And I'm not letting no god take this place away from us.
If I had a choice between heaven and hell, I'd rather stay on this very soil I tread on. Though we may mess things up here and there, at least it's better than psycho places like heaven and hell...really no balance in those two realms.
Centre of Karma is Earth.
If the forces of heaven and hell really come and do battle to wreak the very paradise I regard. They can expect me to kick their asses back to where they came from. I don't fight for god. I don't fight for the devil. I fight for all who dwell here and our given right to live on this land.
I think I'm being emo. Noo..
Maybe it's not that bad.
It is.

Back to Reality
Happy CNY to everyone. I've made a vow, I have to finish all the eggrolls in my house by the end of the 15 days of CNY...don't think that's alot? Talk about 6 boxes. I'm really going to get fat. Then I'm really going to have to workout again, if I have the time.
Reality's a ninja now, sneaking attacks like forgotten homework, tests and all sorts of **** at me. I can breathe and defend myself from the hailstorm of kunais and shurikens.
Speaking of shurikens, I think that B****** Shu Chang threw one at me today, made of paper, but really effective. Causes some irritation. If used properly, blindness may occur. I'll make some of my own soon.
Training was screwed today. Had the competition, and Omega really messed up scenario. Coz have to memorise some password or something, and all platoons had the same problem. But we didn't evacuation within the time limit so my entire squad 'died' o.0
Great. Things can't get any worse right?
I have 1 piece of unfinished work for every subj, I take 10. And there are like 5+ tests nxt wk. great.

Current Affairs - WORK.
Another 'work' post. So stay away from this one unless you're the teacher. In that case the red carpet welcomes you. Anyway, let's start.

Helping hand for at-risk teen girls
A group of young professional women, called Beautiful People, runs programmes
and workshops to help troubled teenage girls
DEPUTY public prosecutor Gillian Koh Tan has seen many a young girl trapped on
the wrong side of life – pregnant teens who had abortions, those caught
shoplifting and others tangled up with gangs.
By the time their case gets to the courts, it is almost too late and many end
up in detention homes and jail.
So when Mrs Tan, 28, heard about a group called Beautiful People, she jumped at
the chance to become a “big sister”.
Founded by social activist Melissa Kwee, 34, Beautiful People is a volunteer
project that enables professionals to help troubled teenage girls who are
referred to youth and family service centres.
The group of young professional women conduct workshops and camps for teen
girls at-risk – on their own time and with their own money.
Set up in 2005, it is believed to be the first volunteer group to devise
programmes specifically to help troubled teenage girls.
Mrs Tan said: “I’ve come across many cases where things have gone wrong and
family structures have collapsed. I kept wondering if this could have been
prevented and how I could help.”
The project has four core members and 20 active volunteers.
Miss Kwee, a business consultant, first approached voluntary welfare
organisation Beyond Social Services for support.
“I noticed there was a rising trend in girl gangs and teenage pregnancies, and
not many programmes focused on girls.
“The idea is to reach out to them, not as social workers, but as people who can
be their role models,” she said.
The number of girls aged between seven and 19 arrested for crimes has been on
the rise. In 2005, 1,373 girls were arrested compared to 1,321 in 2004 and
1,310 in 2003. Girls represented between 25 and 30 per cent of all youths
arrested.
In June, 20 girls attended a two-day camp and learnt about legal rights,
budgeting and boy-girl relationships.
The second camp, held at Raffles Girls’ Secondary last month, was attended by
43 girls from Beyond Social Services, Andrew & Grace Home, and Pertapis, a
Muslim welfare and education organisation.
This time, they heard from a gynaecologist about menstrual wellness and learnt
self-defence techniques from a taekwondo instructor. The camp programmes are
devised by volunteers, who share the cost of about $2,000 for each camp, and
draw on their business and social networks to attract speakers.
Said Mrs Tan: “What struck me about these girls is that when you ask them what
they aspire to be, they look a little lost, a little stunned, and say they have
no dreams.
“I realised it’s because they don’t have role models in their lives.”
This is why the project group is called Beautiful People – to help these
teenage girls realise the potential in themselves despite all they have
endured.
Said one of the girls, Gina (not her real name), 13: “I thought this camp would
be boring, but it’s fun and I feel the adults are really listening to me.”
Gina was arrested last year for glue sniffing and sent to a home for 18 months.
“My parents did not bail me out and I hated them,” she said. “I also hated the
people who put me in the home.
“Now, after talking with Mrs Tan, I realise why this has to happen. I think I
want to be a lawyer when I grow up so I can help people who are like me.”
Beyond Social Services deputy executive director T. Ranganayaki is full of
praise for the group’s efforts.
“This is a very rare and noble effort,” she said.
“Of the many volunteers who come and support our programmes, this group has its
mind and heart in the right place, and consistently so.”
Beautiful People hopes to find part-time jobs for some of the girls, and
provide them with the social skills they need to hold down a job.
Miss Dawn Kong, 35, a volunteer, said: “It’s about giving them a chance by
using our personal resources to provide them with the opportunities they were
not able to get because they are disadvantaged.”
To reach out to more of them, the volunteers have also attached themselves to
youth centres in Ang Mo Kio, Ghim Moh, Tiong Bahru and East Coast.

My response:
Well, that's a start. Maybe society is trying to understand the next generation at last. As a teenager myself, I do find it tempting to ride on the wrong side of the long road of life. Drugs, sex, gangs and all that are out there. Even if we are 'afraid' of all that,it is certainly more exciting than the average teenage life now. Most adults expect us to live a routine kind of life. Wake up, go to school, come back from school, do homework, help out chores, sleep. Man, if everyone did that what's the point of carrying on in this world. Being alive is one thing, keeping your life interesting is another. While teenage girls are being lost on the road of life, society is finally extending a helping hand as role models. I have many female friends in other schools who also don't know what to do in their lives, they merely 'waste' it away with bad habits like drinking, wasting time etc. So I can understand the misunderstood generation of society pretty well. As such, society should give more attention to their internal affairs and social situation of teenagers, we are the next generation of this country, thus we deserve more attention to our situation. If society just leaves us alone, we make destroy ourselves eventually.
But as I said in my first sentence, that's a start. There should be more programmes catered to the extremes of society, the young and old. Besides teenage girls, I do hope there are more programmes that extend to males as well. Our gender constitutes to the majority of crimes committed, teenage or adult, we should still receive more attention from society. Using peer pressure and family influence, teenage boys on the 'wrong' side of life can also repent and turn over a new leaf.
With all the help society gives us, it is only natural that the next generation should improve themselves in order to effectively take up the tasks of the nation in the near future.

Make War Not Love.
Yesterday was Make Love Not War.
Today's the exact opposite. Sigh, it's that time of the year again.
Total Defence. RI celebrates total defence but not valentine's day. Wow. Shows that we're a bunch of war-lovin' fools. Maybe.
Still remember sec1, when the solemn occasion of laying the laurel wreath and stuff like that. We were still jubilant with mass synchronised clapping, cheering at the 1 minute of silence and stuff like that. Wow, looking back at that. It's been a year since I've seen a total defence celebration. Thought they would mass fire some AKs or M4s or something like that. Sad. Teenagers still not allowed to carry guns YET.
Wait till NS.
No more homework till end of chinese new year!! not amusing at all. still got tons of stuff to do.
Some people gave a talk about pandas today. The female presenter was really like japanese kawaii anime girl leh..then some people ended up not listening to the presentation, looked at the girl instead when they should be getting panda soft toys. wow. china accent very strong, like Ding Feng's. But they gave out alot of panda soft toys..I got one.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtLzvOsQ80k
Panda Sneezing, really funny.
Know how panda's reproduce? Coz their reproduction rate is low, really not interested in sex, unlike some people I know -.-, they make panda's watch porn. wow.
They reach maturity at 4, and can already do it. While I'm 14 and I'm STILL underage. Wow.
Anyway their presentation was really entertaining. PANDA!!
I've decided to name mine, PANDAMIC!! The M.I.C. stands for Made In China!!
After school had talentime, no one was really serious about the singing, then the mood really killed everyone. Then went to see FACOM.. Stephen damn farny. Nvm about that. Really tiring, tomorrow, we're released at 10am. Wow. I'm undertaking the great journey of walking home again. Wow. From Bishan to Hougang. Wow.
Journey on Pandamic!

Stereotypes And Valentine's
This world runs on conflict. We're on it's car, and conflict is the gasoline. With the ability to goo KA-BOOM. How true. Somehow, this blog is radiating positive aura to me, to think deeply about stuff. Sure, created for work. But somehow, it has also turned into my 'emo' blog. Positive Aura? Maybe. But then, it's my day's thoughts and insights..not just merely rantings man.
We had red cross training today. Supposed to bring 2 round things(-.- don't be sick) or 2 heart shaped things. I brought 2 malaysian twenty cent coins lol. Almost all of my batch brought except for some scholars..like Sai..-.- Then Qiwen told all of us.."I have two words to say to you all. Good job."..wow. And my inner self told me.."The two words are going to be F$^# YOU. Wow. So that's reflecting my inner self. I'm a total @$$h0|3 now. Great. Nah, I'm going to change that.
We did silly things, like shout out loud "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!" in the Raffles Square etc. Everyone had to do a 'sexy' pose and a valentine's day message. Nicest was Chong Yu lol..."Don't you think I'm sexy??" lol, the japanese sexy pose had everyone dead. Anyways, sec1s came again, and we all got serious about stuff. Station games. Somehow, today's training was fun. Then after trng, when we gave our stuff to the sec2s, and the sec2s to the sec1s, besurai..Wen Yu screwed up, had to do 10 push-ups..multiple man. Man man, if I knew, I'd have done with him. Then we were discussing about the Evac thingy, I can tell that Zijie's serious with this thing. So I'm going to go along with it too. Then Qiwen wanted to meet all of us at sickbay.. then wanted us to choose a number. We chose '1' when there should be '56'. Then we got 1 pack of chocs..lol. Sec4s see us give stuff also want to give us things too. They aren't that bad as I thought lol. End up, I actually think this giving of stuff, even if it was the stones from the Raja Block LOL, symbolises something. We won't be here forever, passing whatever we have to the next batch. Emo me again.
Anyway, went for a hair cut after rc, wanted detail cut from San Andreas. But the barber refused to cut my hair that way. She said, if I was neighbourhood school still can consider. But RAFFLES leh..-.- anyway, settled for a crew cut. For those who want to see my new hairstyle can msn me or check it out at sch tmr. Then I saw Eugene..had a girl behind him, wow. valentine's. Well, no time to go out with anyone today, most of the girls I know all got committments one, like new bfs, new gfs, etc. -.-
anyway, this goes on to the topic of discussion today - stereotypes.
Then I thought of the girl following Eugene. Average s'pore girl.
This is the vital stats of them...in my opinion.
Wear Specs
Shoulder Length hair
School shoes, something branded.
Wallet, pencil case etc. Branded.
Average should be a B(you know what I"m talking about)
speaks ah lian
etc?
Average S'pore boy.
Wears specs,
hair geled or spiked
wallet and pencil case and shoes also branded
aiyah I dunno lah.
When the best rapper's a white, and the best golfer's a black, and the best musician is chinese. The world is free from all forms of stereotypes.
Total Defence day tmr. Then CNY celebrations after that. This is one holiday I'm not going to enjoy.

Valentine's Day? Just two cents about 'love'.
Yea, love exists. But it's near impossible to obtain.
The one true love I've ever seen is between adults and children all over the world.
No it's not pedophiles drooling over some third world country kids stripping for a few bucks, it's the special family relationship that everyone shares with their parents.
I have to admit that half of the kids living on this god-forsaken world have totally extreme childhoods that is serious enough that God would come down here Himself and cause another world flood(see noah's ark dumbass). and the only people building boats would be the cruel captalists again as only they have the money for expensive cruisers and food to outlast the rest of the desperate populace.
Once again. This problem is not solved yet. -.-
Anyway, romantic love. That was what I onced believe in. ONCE.
Now, it's just a need in all of us. I admit I'm no superhero, or professional like Dante in Devil May Cry, everyone has needs... And the need to feel 'loved' romantically is one of them too. The worse part is that people these days have no idea what 'love' is. Maybe I don't either. But this is my opinion on this subject, and every valentine's day, it's always the same. My 'romance' relationships with girls don't last that long for a valentine's day either. I shall probably have to ask *bleep* to go out with me. But tomorrow I return to my crib at 6pm. School..commitments..my life is one long burden that I enjoy. Wow.
If you were 'in love', that I tell you, is crap. For most of us that is. I've looked up in the oxford dictionary and there were like 8 or more different definitions for love. But because of the lack of resources at the current time I was typing this, I shall take the definitions from Merriam-Webster instead.
Love:
1 a (1): strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal tieslove for a child> (2): attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers (3): affection based on admiration, benevolence, or common interests <love for his old schoolmates> b: an assurance of love love> 2: warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion <love of the sea>3 a: the object of attachment, devotion, or admiration love> b (1): a beloved person : darling — often used as a term of endearment (2)British — used as an informal term of address4 a: unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another: as (1): the fatherly concern of God for humankind (2): brotherly concern for others b: a person's adoration of God
Out of all these meanings, I find that only '1 a (1)' and the 'warm attachment, enthusiasm, or devotion' is practical for use in daily life. An 'attraction based on sexual desire' is simply not true as that is not love. It is sexual desire!
Sexual desire in this case is I LOVE your body...and maybe you. If God stripped all of us of everything we had on earth, even our bodies, and we are all floating wisps in the fires of hell. Would you still love him or her? If we retained our memories when we reincarnate, and you find that your husband in your previous life was now a female, just like you in this life. Would you turn lesbian because you 'love' him? If the answer is no. Then my point is proven. Would society's pressure on homophobia make you change your love for someone?
Even if that person is crippled, disfigured, whatever. Nothing can beat family love.
No matter how much you fail in life, your family is still supporting you. Some children have abusive parents, violent one that do all sorts of bad things. But no matter what happens, somehow, they still love their parents. They still stick by them, not because they are the breadwinners, not because they are their bodyguards. But solely because they love them. They are their parents. And in this world, I've only got 1 mum and 1 dad, and so everyone reading this post better cherish them!!
Honestly, the teenage years are usually the toughest time of your life. Your body starts changing
, like one's mentality. When I come home to listen to my mum's nagging. I know she's nagging, she's repeating what she said for the twenty millionth time. But that's because she cares, and I can feel her love.

How true.
Some people say love is selfish, love is blind(family cases)..but another definition for love is that you love the person so much, you would do anything to make them happy. That's also true. But how about love is selfish? Towards which point is when love isn't love anymore? Another mystery in this world. But that's what we're here for. Life is still full of conflicts here and there, people partying and dying in that very same corner..
The other kind of love I think true is the love for a certain subject. Some people love something so much it becomes an obsession. That's the point when it's not love anymore. But I digress.
It's true. So I like rapping. I like hip hop. But do I 'love' it? I find myself unable to define that. Do I love it. It has become my passion, but so has bodybuilding, language, fashion and a multitude of other things. Everyone has a passion in life, a dream. And we all love our dreams. We all want them to come true. And for that dream, I am willing to forsake all I have. That's love. But I am not willing to forsake all I love. That's love too. Love in this case is selfish, and contradictory. Love is supporting both sides here...wow.
And so. Following the communist dream. And even in Christianity, one of my Christian friends told me about church, the marriage seminar he attended, having children is one of the main aims of marriage. To ensure the survive of the species..wow. I do not exactly believe in romantic love, as the couples I've seen have really strange ways of proving it. But some cases are strong enough to turn this point a 180degrees round and point the gun straight at my forehead. Rather, humans survive on the instinct of society and cooperation. Communism indeed.
The one true love I've ever seen is between adults and children all over the world.
No it's not pedophiles drooling over some third world country kids stripping for a few bucks, it's the special family relationship that everyone shares with their parents.
I have to admit that half of the kids living on this god-forsaken world have totally extreme childhoods that is serious enough that God would come down here Himself and cause another world flood(see noah's ark dumbass). and the only people building boats would be the cruel captalists again as only they have the money for expensive cruisers and food to outlast the rest of the desperate populace.
Once again. This problem is not solved yet. -.-
Anyway, romantic love. That was what I onced believe in. ONCE.
Now, it's just a need in all of us. I admit I'm no superhero, or professional like Dante in Devil May Cry, everyone has needs... And the need to feel 'loved' romantically is one of them too. The worse part is that people these days have no idea what 'love' is. Maybe I don't either. But this is my opinion on this subject, and every valentine's day, it's always the same. My 'romance' relationships with girls don't last that long for a valentine's day either. I shall probably have to ask *bleep* to go out with me. But tomorrow I return to my crib at 6pm. School..commitments..my life is one long burden that I enjoy. Wow.
If you were 'in love', that I tell you, is crap. For most of us that is. I've looked up in the oxford dictionary and there were like 8 or more different definitions for love. But because of the lack of resources at the current time I was typing this, I shall take the definitions from Merriam-Webster instead.

HQ FD Accreds
Well, today's the day to show how communism red cross is. Lol.
Kwoky finally convinced me to go for silver accreds with hq last nite. So I went. Borrowing JQ's uniform. Anyway, when we got there everyone had alrdy fallen in, omg. Me and Romeo were busy rushing to change, the toilet's super stinky, super wet, super dirty, super %#$^-ed up. But it was super high-tech. Like when you step in the lights auto-on..o.0 really really cool- for a lousy toilet in TKSS anyway.
Teh school rocks. But then again, lousy toilet. We put our stuff in like the furthest classroom in the school, then received our notes for fd silver. We were grouped into 3 groups, group one had Hadi lol, group two had Joel WTF, then my name wasn't there. -.- Whatever lah, the VI also took my name down as 'JieQi', lol borrow uniform de. The discipline was surprisingly highly slack. When we did footdrill in the morning sun. The fiery god in that burning ball in that sky was staring straight at me with a middle-finger in my face -.- Argh, hard to pay attention to the lesson. Then we split into the 3 groups and started practising. The good thing is I kena-ed Hadi SIR the VI, a fat VI that looks like Lazydork, a woman who was really damn man, and another VI.
Then after practising bronze commands..which included saluting for 10 mins...screw you Hadi. We further split into 2 groups, I luckily was under Hadi again... the other group, really feel sorry for them. Under that female VI in uniform who was seriously damn man, her voice was like...really low. omg. Then it was drill drill drill whatever.
Lunchtime!! YAY. Walked like 2.4km in boots that were too big to the food court. Like 8.5% of the stalls were open(8 stalls and 1 that wasn't serving) ate hokkien mee there, the guy was really nice, $3 hokkien mee I kena-ed 5 prawns and alot of mee..really hungry then. Then me and joel just ate.
Afternoon that time was more drills. Then we were learning belok(wheel), and inside our little group, we were split into 2 again. So it's like..
1 unit-> total no. of people taking rc silver accreds.
1/3 unit-> 1 group.
1/6 unit-> group under Hadi and Lazydork VI
1/12 unit-> group just under Hadi
then it boils down to me..which is like, 1/72 unit.
wow. Somehow, by luck, the group which was just under hadi that included me had 5 girls and 1 guy(me). Wow. All the other males were in the other seperate squad with Lazydork..wow. Really. WOW. -.- God's Will I guess. The standard of discipline is damn nice. We fidget and for once, Hadi the very cruel sec4 didn't even bother. Standard of neighbourhood schools? If that's the level of discipline I face in RIRC, I'd go for training every damn time man! Then we still couldn't do belok properly, so creative VI used our bottles to demo..really cool.
"Remember the bottles."
Yea, I'll remember.
Then when we combined squad, all 70+ ppl in 1 squad. Everything in footdrill just turns cool. Marching all over the parade square, ke-kenan lurus, maju, hentak, belok, hormat, memenri, whatever, when you do it with alot of ppl, fd just becomes cool. The experience was worth the sunburn. Including the mass besurai, I remember 2 girls around me screwed up, never salute just march one.
Then with theory, I really dunno how they teach, and abt the uniform..all girls were pants under their rc uniform skirts, but some are really long, and when they just squat, it's incredibly obscene. Like at a break, the girls in my 1/12 squad were all squating in a line towards the canteen..really obscene, not only towards me but towards everybody in the canteen too..yuck.
The 7pm drama that we all watch, abt teens..the govt addresses all teenage issues in 1 drama, efficient. I saw the girl who was tomboyish and got her nude pics on the net from the drama in TKSS...she's actually in TKSS and in band..wow.
But the thing that really caught my eye was the classroom tables. Usually I'd see tables badly vandalised in someway or other..trust me, I know. But all the tables had a huge piece of coloured paper on them. And all the students just drew what they wanted, and had to put their goals there, like academically, family, physically etc..really. As a result, students can express artistic talent in a form of 'vandalism' in a 'non-hazardous' way. I've even seen 'Grove Street Rock On' lol, and in RI? White classrooms, Green structure..Black as night...boring. The curriculum is boring and hard to grasp. The discipline killed and still does. Some of the best teaching methods actually come from neighbourhood schools... I've started to wonder every since I've come to RI whether I've made the right choice...and the answer? No. But I've never regreted joining RIRC. Nope.
Anyway, theory was done...and at 5.30 we were released..vacate the school in 15mins..cool. 15 mins to change in that toilet again..saw romeo..but honestly, footdrill was fun. The school was cool. But I'm tired, and actually typing so many words about today amazes me. Wow.
Good Night. I hopefully can get some solace in the state of San Andreas.

Families of American teens sue MySpace
Hey yo all was just checking out the sph newslink resources that ri provides..really useful for doing this article man, alot of articles to check out. Anyways long story short, this post is work.
Families of American teens sue MySpace

Website a hunting ground for paedophiles, say parents SEVERAL teenage girls were allegedly sexually abused after being chatted up on social networking website MySpace, but the company claims a child's safety is partly a family's responsibility. The site popular with teenagers, allowing them to share their lives and secrets in online diaries and personal Web pages, has been criticised for providing paedophiles with a rich hunting ground, reported AFP. But it defended itself on Thursday against new lawsuits charging it had failed to protect the five girls from being lured into sex traps by predators. The suits demanded unspecified millions of dollars in damages from MySpace and its parent company News Corporation for 'negligence, recklessness, fraud' and misrepresentation. 'MySpace serves as an industry leader on Internet safety and we take proactive measures to protect our members,' the company's chief security officer, Mr Hemanshu Nigam, said. 'Ultimately, Internet safety is a shared responsibility. We encourage everyone to apply commonsense offline safety lessons in their online experiences and engage in open family dialogue about smart Web practises,' added Mr Nigam. The suits were filed separately on Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court on behalf of the families of the girls, aged between 14 and 15 and from the US states of New York, Texas, Pennsylvania and South Carolina. PLIED WITH DRUGS The girls were lured into meetings with men who had chatted them up on MySpace then plied them with drugs or alcohol and sexually abused them, according to court papers. One of the men accused in the assaults is serving a 10-year prison sentence and the others are awaiting trials, according to lawyers for the girls. 'Blaming the families of abuse victims who were solicited online, as some have done, is a cynical excuse that ignores the fact that social networking sites can lead to heinous abuse by Internet predators,' said Mr Adam Loewy, a lawyer for some of the girls. 'In our view, MySpace waited entirely too long to attempt to institute meaningful security measures that effectively increase the safety of their underage users,' said another of the plaintiffs' lawyers, Mr Jason Itkin. Last June, a mother who said her 14-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by a 19-year-old user sued MySpace and News Corporation, seeking US$30 million ($46 million) in damages, reported Associated Press. That lawsuit claims the 19-year-old lied about being a senior in high school to gain the girl's trust.
My response:
Nearly every first world teenager is able to connect to the net for whatever reason, be it checking their email, chatting, playing online games, information, good or bad, let's face it: Without the net, we cannot survive. Not just us teens, but adults, even toddlers as well. My younger sister uses the net to source for information on Barney, and without this, I don't know what I can do to keep her preoccupied. However, like all other things, there is both a good and bad side. The internet, the ugly side.
The site MySpace.com, without it, I would not have a page there to base my music on. As a lyrical artist it is essential to increasing fame and credibility. But this time, it has come to my attention that such a useful website has let its usefulness be extended to pedophiles. And now the damage is done to innocent young girls, their traumatised families are suing MySpace. I do not entirely disagree with chatting and making friends on the net. After all, most teenagers go online just to chat, or play online games to make new friends. Such friends could help you in times on need online, however there is still the need to be wary of them. Who knows who could be sitting on the other side of the computer, a 70 old pervert, or a young lady in her 20s?
Sexually abusing girls via the internet is definitely wrong. But to empathise with the victims of such abuse, we do not know the future. Meeting with these so-called 'friends' would be taking a risk, if you trust the person enough, I would not object to meeting, but even so, be on your guard. Many of us want more companionship, it is a natural need. Thus we turn to the internet, all the pedophiles out there, they need company too. Though they're definition of 'company' may not be acceptable to most. Such people should undergo counselling to make it back to the right track of life. And for MySpace.com? The parents should not sue such companies. They merely provide such a service for networking. What should be the correct solution would be to either sue the pedophile, or closely monitor their children. As a teenager, I understand that most of us at my age range are extremely rebellious, we want freedom. And that can be understood. Besides MySpace.com, there are many other ways for pedophiles to make friends with young girls and boys like the "IRC", chatrooms, other websites, messengers etc. What would sueing MySpace solve? Does it solve the problem of pedophiles? Well, the answer is a definite NO. The attack should be aimed at the ones who sexually assaulted the girls, not the tool used.
In summary, you can go online to make friends, but always stay wary, stay alert and be on your guard.

Sexual Harrassment
It was after school, really peculiar. Coz I was checking out Romeo's phone, and copying Huiwen's no. in my phone lol. Then there was this lady who popped out who looked like Mrs. Ho Wai Lin..then she asked me whether she took a photo lol.
I was like.."what photo?"
She replied,"the photo you took just now."
What Photo!
I was checking out huiwen's no. not takin' pictures.. anyway, who would want to take a photo of her..-.-
Then she said, "Alright, I give you the benefit of the doubt."
Stephen was there, Jerome was there, Eng Han was there..WTF with what photo!!!
argh, then she left. -.-
Then we still dun understand what was going on. Then Eng Han finally figured out..maybe she thought we took a picture of her for purposes that invade privacy lol. OMFG. All of us were laughing lor, we're like..who would want to take a picture of someone who looks like Mrs. Ho!!!!
No offense to Mrs. Ho, she ain't that ugly, but someone who looks like that is certainly not my type..argh. lol. Still laughing over this matter.
Please Miss, before you start accusing others for sexual harrassment like secretly taking photos etc, CHECK YOURSELF!!!
I've been bullied..that's no surprise. But training starts now. NOW.
I don't care about whatever anymore. It's time fight back. Weapons may assist me, but it's still my conscience that stops me. I've lost the today's battle, but I haven't lost the war. Hanif you watch out. You better be on your toes. I'm slamin' at ya..hard.
I was like.."what photo?"
She replied,"the photo you took just now."
What Photo!
I was checking out huiwen's no. not takin' pictures.. anyway, who would want to take a photo of her..-.-
Then she said, "Alright, I give you the benefit of the doubt."
Stephen was there, Jerome was there, Eng Han was there..WTF with what photo!!!
argh, then she left. -.-
Then we still dun understand what was going on. Then Eng Han finally figured out..maybe she thought we took a picture of her for purposes that invade privacy lol. OMFG. All of us were laughing lor, we're like..who would want to take a picture of someone who looks like Mrs. Ho!!!!
No offense to Mrs. Ho, she ain't that ugly, but someone who looks like that is certainly not my type..argh. lol. Still laughing over this matter.
