2 Single Story 2011

"Danger of a Single Story"
What does it mean to have a 'single story' about a place or community?
To have a single story about a place or community I think it is when they hear about you or see maybe in the news or some place else, is when they say about things about you that maybe they aren't true.

Describe a single story you have heard told about your community. What is missing from that story? How could people learn more about that community?Well, I know a friend that told my mom that she is not sending her child to our school because she said that the school is good, but that the community is not good.Well, one of the mistakes that she did, was that she was not sure about the school and she doesn't know very much of the East side and I say that it is better for her to to see what it's like to be in the East Side.

Describe a single story you have heard about another community. How did you learn that story? How could you find out more about that community?I haven't really heard any more of a single story.

How could a game let players experience many stories about a place or community?
Well,since I have heard people say about the east side, I think that making a game about the community will help them understand the community better because maybe the game will let you know facts about this side.Then it might change your mind of letting any children go to this school and see that this school is probably one of the bests schools that there has been,for me,but they can see it by themselves by having teachers that care of the students education and success.

2 Cyberbully 2011

Well, this story or video was about a girl named Taylor.At first, she had a good time with her friends and family.She also had a good life like she had good grades at school and she also wanted to become a journalist for her career.Then the problems came when her mother got her a new laptop where she can chat with her friends.Then at the second day of school, she realized that she liked a boy named Scott that attended to Mountain High School.Well,when she had gotten back from school, her picture with Samantha, her best friend, had a comment.Of course,it was a mean comment from the mean girl named Lindsey and her other mean friends.The other day at school, she basically had a good time, but things changed when she got back from school.Like always, she checked her Clicksters page and then realized that her whole page was full with mean comments.After all of that, she showed the comments to her mom, which she thought that those comments were already mean and some nasty ones.She was full of sadness like she was already feeling like when someone is depressed.The next day at school, all of the people in the school made fun of her.After all of the mean comments, she came home and realized that her brother was the one who figured out her password and wrote a fake post about her and now people are believing it.Sure Taylor was more angry and sad because her brother not only got the people to make fun of her, but Taylor also didn't trust him like she usually did.Over the next days, she has been getting weird and cruel messages of someone named Evans.Well, the problem is that she made a huge mistake of writing that unknown person back.Samantha was in her laptop as always and she got a message from Taylor.The message was the one that she wrote about Evans.Now you can realize that Samantha,her very own best friend had betrayed her.Now the nest day at school, her friend Shayne stopped being her friend because since she is hanging out with her, people have been calling all of the three nasty names, and that's what made her stop being her friend because nobody has ever called her that.Since Taylor was feeling even more depressed her whole identity changed, like she didn't dress nicely like always,her hair messed up, the way she has been acting with her "friend" Samantha,and the way she has been acting with her own mom.With more comments on her Clicksters page, she thought of something she thinks she should do,kill herself.Before she thought of that, she saw a new video that Lindsey and someone else put, a cruel one full of making fun of her.The video was about how she was pregnant with a boy that Lindsey and her friends put.Then after seeing that cruel video, she didn't know what to do she was like lost and lonely in the world.Well, she had put a video of her talking about herself and when she was finished, she ended up saying,"Bye."When Samantha saw the video, the first thing that she thought was that she was going to kill herself.Samantha immediately called her mom and told her what she was about to do.Then when she was informed, she brought the ambulance.Samantha arrived and looked for her in her room.She found her opening some pills,so she can kill herself.There was a lot of screaming and Taylor's brother heard the noises and right then, Taylor's mom comes by to stop her from killing herself.When she finally couldn't any longer,she was in pain and calmed herself.She was taken to the hospital where she could get some rest.Taylor's mom asked Samantha who was that Evans guy.Since she knew that she was the one who created that person,she didn't tell her and then walked away.The doctors gave Taylor's mom tips about how she can help her and one was attending to a class where they can talk about how they were cyberbullied.Well, know Samantha went to a store and found Scott.Scott asked about Taylor,but Samantha thought that he just wanted to play with her.Yet,Scott confessed that he really did like Taylor.Samantha was feeling pretty down and also depressed for betraying Taylor.She had made the decision to tell Taylor.When Samantha came to Taylor's home,she confessed everything to her.Of course,Taylor did feel betrayed and by her very own best friend.Taylor went with her mom to a specialist about cyberbulling.Taylor's mom gave the specialist her mom's phone number.Yet,Taylor thought that it was a bad idea because she thought that Samantha wasn't going to come.Samantha did came and told everything about it.Taylor was surprised because she did came.After the next day,Taylor was feeling pretty confident of her going to school.When she arrived,she saw Samantha on the window by the cafeteria.She has been also hiding from everyone else because now they know that Samantha was the one that created the Evans guy.The both stood for each other and came in to the cafeteria.They were both strong responding to Lindsey's mean comments.Not only them both, but Scott and the ones that are being cyberbullied too.Lindsey was defeated and there were no more bullies on the school and everyone lived happy with no one being bullied.
