For women under 30, Most births occur outside marriage


The article, For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage is about how for the last few decades most women under the age of thirty are having kids without being married first.  Then it goes on to say it was looked down upon, how nowadays marriage is a luxury, and how this affects the kids involved.  This article expresses the change over time and how this change (women having kids without being married) happened after women started feeling independent.  The first paragraph says, “It used to be called illegitimacy. Now it is the new normal. After steadily rising for five decades, the share of children born to unmarried women has crossed a threshold: more than half of births to American women under 30 occur outside marriage.”  This is also weird because I would expect most out of marriage women having children to be African American women.  I say that because it is just a stereotype I always hear.

I also want to say I don’t see anything wrong with this because not everyone wants to get married.  Some people have a problem that makes them more eligible to have kids.  No one ever writes these things in articles they just always look at the negative side to the story.   I find this article stupid on so many levels because of this comment, “The shift is affecting children’s lives. Researchers have consistently found that children born outside marriage face elevated risks of falling into poverty, failing in school or suffering emotional and behavioral problems.”  When I was born my parents weren’t married and im just fine my grades can prove it.

boy still alive after being trapped under sand


An eleven year old boy buried alive for thirty minutes before being found.  The boys name is Nicolas Nelson, and he was digging a sand pit with his brother then suddenly the sand collapsed and he was under.  His 16 year old brother called the police in a frantic telling them to hurry.  The article went on to say, “Me and my brother were digging in a sandpit and it collapsed and my brother is stuck under there now,’ Kyle said to the dispatcher.  ‘I tried to get him out, but I couldn't dig fast enough.’  Kyle was soon aided by the brothers' mother, Aimee Nelson, and her boyfriend in feverishly trying to dig Nicholas out from beneath the sand.”  Going through this must have been hard.   The article said he sat under there and began to say goodbye to his family in his head.  It said, “Under the sand, Nicholas settled into a seated position and began "saying goodbye in his head," he recalled, to his family members above.   The 11-year-old was able to get a small air pocket around his mouth and it was those few inches of air, rescuers say, that kept Nicholas from suffocating.” 
I’m not one one hundred percent on this story because how can you stay under a sand pit for almost a half hour and not sufficate when it takes on average three minutes of holding your breathe to die.  This story is a little confusing in some parts because one: how did the sand not crush him, two: how was he in sitting position.  I don’t know this story just doesn’t add up in my opinion.

Second baby on the way for a kardashian


Thirty two year old Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant with her second child.   Kourtney kardashian is one of the stars on the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.  Some people say, “These two parents (father Scott Disick) shouldn’t have another baby.  They said they are not married and the father has had a lot of problems if you watched the show its shows he is an alcoholic.”  The passage said, “We feel so blessed to be having a little girl and to be able to share this new experience with Mason," Kardashian told E! Kardashian and Disick, 28, first broke news of their pregnancy with us Weekly last November.”  The reality star said she a proud parent and cant wait for her second baby.  

I think that this couple is adorable and I’m glad there having another baby.  This couple is a little messy but what couple isn’t.  Some people say they shouldn’t have another baby because they aren’t married yet and that the first time with mason should have been they got married.  Magazines say that, “Kourtney Kardashian has more than just her second pregnancy to worry about, the reality star is dealing with her crumbling relationship with Scott Disick! The Kourtney & Kim Take New York star also has her hands full with her two-year-old son Mason, but Scott is running around partying like a single bachelor, according to Life & Style!”  Although, all this is being said there is no doubt in my mind that magazines will be begging for interviews and pictures.

Rihanna and Chris Brown Have Been Secretly Hooking Up

After rumored infidelity, after the abuse, and after the heartache are rihanna and Chris Brown back together?  Well US magazine seems to think so and says they have been seeing each other for nearly a year.  US magazine also said, “And it turns out that the exes -- forcibly separated after the beating by court order -- could very well be spending that "anniversary" together. As multiple sources confirm in the new Us Weekly, Rihanna, 23, and Brown, 22, have secretly been hooking up for nearly a year.”  Rihanna fans are outraged hey said, “rihanna is an idiot for going back cause once an abuser always an abuser.”  Others say, “I’m happy for rihanna she deserves so be happy because we can tell she not over him.”  Some chris brown fans said, “I hope he doesn’t do the same thing because he has been doing good.”  Some people feel deceived but me, i couldn't be happier.

i love Rihanna and Chris brown I'm happy that they might be back together.  i think every relationship has problems and theirs was just a tad more serious.  i don't see why people care because it's not there relationship i can understand they don't want a celeb they love to get hurt but still i believe they should stop fiend blogging and being psycho.

Facebook is using you


Facebook is using you is an article that Lori Andrews wrote talking about how Facebook is basically taking advantage of users by using the personal information they write to track you with cookies.  She said, "Facebook makes money by selling ad space to companies that want to reach us." She express that Facebook uses as puppets for endorsement.  She then goes on to say all the things companies do with are personal information.  She she’s that companies sometimes use it to make it so we can’t get that job.  The article also says, “Facebook made $3.2 billion in advertising revenue last year, 85 percent of its total revenue. Yet Facebook’s inventory of data and its revenue from advertising are small potatoes compared to some others. Google took in more than 10 times as much, with an estimated $36.5 billion in advertising revenue in 2011, by analyzing what people sent over Gmail and what they searched on the Web, and then using that data to sell ads.”  This leaves me to say this has to be true because if not how do they make so much. 

I think that this article really does teach me to watch what I write on the Internet.  I don’t want the things I write to define me or the job I get in the future.  It’s preposterous; no wonder so many people live on the street or are in dept.  Companies have their hopes stuck so far up their butts that they make it hard for people to do anything.
