Bloggin Advantages and Disadvantages

Some advantages of having online journal entries are that everyone's writing would be easier to read. Another advantage of this is that is when the writers make mistakes, they won't have to erase every mistake they make, instead they just press backspace. Online journal entries can be very helpful and convenient for people that type faster than they write. One of my favorites is there won't be times where I'm desperately trying to search my backpack for my notebook that i wrote my journals in. Disadvantages of the online journal entry (in my opinion) are that i usually run out of ideas and stuff to say very quickly and when I'm typing, I tend to doze off and lose my train of thought. A common problem for the online journals are people not having a computer or they type slower than they write. Doing the online journal entries may save some people time, but for the slow typers or people without a computer/ internet- it may be extremely inconvenient for them.

Easily Persuaded

It's funny how most people are persuaded to do and say things depending on a situation they're in. Sometimes it gets awkward and even scary to see someone act unnaturally to their usual behavior. I've always been aware of this but ever since winter break started, I've been noticing it happen to people around me. From friends being put under pressure to relatives showing their cocky side. I just have to keep in mind that I shouldn't judge people on an outrageous emotion they showed once. These are some of the reasons that teenagers are peer pressured to smoke or join gangs. I'll also have to keep in mind to control any bursts of unwanted emotions, because most people judge.
