facebook and my pre-teen

Well, my pre-teen has signed up for a facebook account again. What to do… ? Well, we did a couple of things. reset the password add a second email to the account. (whenever he tries to change the password, I get notified.) the only way he gets to use the account is if an adult is with him. break the rules, no computer. He has created accounts in the past, really it isn’t that hard to convince facebook that you are old enough to have an account.  We have deactivated his accounts in the past.  Why are we giving in this time?   Pick your battles.  In the month since he has been home from the residential facility, he has done very well.

Let Whitney Houston rest in Peace – to the hatemongers

Can’t argue that she had it and lost it. But she was human too. She leaves behind a family. How would you like it if someone made the same comment about you on the day you died? Oh wait, you wouldn’t mind, because you would be dead.. but your family would have to listen to the ranting of some mindless human being who didn’t know you yacking about how you screwed up your life.  Let it rest. RIP Whitney Houston Tweet #fighting4answrs

I can see where they would say that.  And I agree with that.  Since it is an accident, there was no real reason to think that our district was being inaccurate in their portrayal of bullying in our district as being something that happens 3 or 4 times a year. I appreciate the news person for helping me understand how they work.  I applaud them for their efforts at fair and accurate reporting. Thank you: Why Not Fathers =============================================== February 10,2012 Our school district made the news. http://www.kxnet.com/story/16909355/garrison-school-incident So I wrote this response to the reporter.  I stripped out some info like names… Good
