A Girl’s Nude Photo, and Altered Lives

I think that it's Maragrite's fault that the picture got out everywhere, if she wouldn't have sent the picture then that would have never happened. I also think that Isaiah shouldn't have been such a jerk and sent it to a girl that used to be her friend. By doing that it caused a lot of problems.

Videography

I thought it looked cool in the beginning when they were showing their feet walking. Also it was cool how you could hear them working on cars in the background while the interview was going on. It was kind of funny how they were all doing pilates at an auto shop, especially since they are all guys.

A young guy is on the road and boating a lot because he wants to be a pro bass fisher. He has fished his entire life and thats all he wants to do. Also there is a "dare" to ride your bike for 5 days from one location to the next. There are surprisingly many younger kids, and there is no competition, its more like training. Another thing was that a family's house was torn down because of a tornado and they were very upset because the house ment everything to them. Someone offered to build them a new house, but they are still really sad that the house has to be torn down. One more thing is that people are camping out by a spartan statue. Its a tradition of the school to do this and kind of protect spartan.

Man an a Goose Form Unlikely Friendship

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/02/28/eveningnews/main20037484.shtml?tag=cbsnewsLeadStoriesAreaMain

An old retired man and a goose are friends. They walk around the park together, and the goose waits for him everyday. People say they walk around together like they are in love. The park is having a clean uo by the pond and the goose will be relocated, they don't know where yet but the old man hopes he can still see her.
This is probably the weirdest story I have ever heard. I didn't think a goose could get so attached to a person. It's also kind of cute in a way.

High schoolers are constantly staying up late. When they aren't doing school work they are often socializing into late night hours.

"I HAVE 3-5 HOURS OF HOMEWORK A NIGHT. I HAVE SO MUCH HOMEWORK I BARELY HAVE A SOCIAL LIFE UNTIL SUMMER COMES AROUND."

Around 2/3 of the students at Eastview alone are not getting enough sleep. So there is one big question, are teachers pushing the student too far?

"I THINK THE BIG PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO WORK TIME IN CLASS. IF WE HAD A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WORK IN CLASS, IT WOULD CUT THE TIME I WORK AT HOME IN HALF."

"I GET HOMEWORK FOR EVERY CLASS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT. IT'S VERY STRESSFUL ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE TO BALANCE IT WITH 2 SPORTS AND A JOB EVERYDAY."

It is said that on average a teenagers in high school should be getting around 9 hours of sleep. Also most teenagers say they can't physically fall asleep until around 10 or 11. Because school starts at 7:30, going to bed at those times makes getting enough sleep impossible.

"I USUALLY CAN'T FALL ASLEEP RIGHT AWAY, EVEN IF HOMEWORK ISN'T KEEPING ME UP. WHEN I HAVE A LOT OF HOMEWORK I USUALLY ONLY GET ABOUT 5 HOURS OF SLEEP, BUT EVEN WITHOUT IT I ONLY GET ABOUT 7."

There have been talks around the country about later start times at high schools. It has been said that it could make a huge difference on how students perform in school.

"IF SCHOOL STARTED JUST AN HOUR LATER, I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BE A LOT MORE ENERGIZED AND READY TO GO TO SCHOOL. AS OF RIGHT NOW, I RARELY GET ENOUGH SLEEP AND I WONDER EVERY TIME I WAKE UP IF I'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY."
