Write a paragraph response as a comment in which you discuss these questions:
If you were Emma, what would you do when you got Ted’s text? Who is most at fault, if anyone, for spreading Emma’s secret?
- How would this situation be different if Emma had told Chantal about the crush in person instead of by sending a text message?
- How could Emma resolve or fix the situation herself? Is there a way she could make the situation better?
- Has anyone ever shared information about you or someone you know over IM, text, the Internet, etc. thatyou or they wanted to keep private? If so, what did you do?
1.) If Emma hold told her best friend in person rather than over text, her best friend would have noticed how serious Emma was by her tone. Also she wouldn't have had anything to forward to Ted.
ReplyDelete2.) Idk possibly. Maybe go talk to her crush. I would have yelled at my best friend and never talked to her again cause obviously she is/was not a true friend.
3.)Hmmm I dont think so and if they have I would just tell them to take the post off of the blog they put it on. Then tell them not to share anything like that about me again. First time is a mistake, second time is a choice.

Delete1: I think that Chantal is at fault, Emma was going to her friend for advice and Chantal broke her promise by forwarding it on to another person.
ReplyDelete2: I think there might be a way to fix this, but i don't know how. Once its out there you could delete it a million times but people have already read it.
3: I have had personal information shared with me and I didn't tell anyone, I might have gone to my mom for advice on the subject but i never said who it was. I know how it feels to have personal information shared that i didn't want to be. It stinks.

ReplyDelete1. If Emma had told Chantal about it in person then there would have been a lesser chance of her secret getting out.
2.Maybe talk to her friend and see why the secret got out.
3.There are times where people have said things that I don,t want other people to know.
Abigail:#1 It would have been different if Emma would have told Chantal about the crush in person instead of text she wouldn't have forwarded it to Zeke but Chantal might have told him anyway. #2 She could have not told Chantal or she could have made it better by confronting Chantal and saying she wasn't a very good friend and making her feel bad and telling everyone who heard it was a lie. #3 yes my friend shared something that I told her and she told 2 other people and I wanted to just be between me and her but she did anyway.
ReplyDelete1. Then Chantel wouldn't have been able to forward anything, and Emma's secret would've been safer.
ReplyDelete2. Probably not. The secret was out there, and there was no way to fix the situation.
3. No, no one has ever shared anything about me over the internet, unless my SISTER has behind my back...
1.it would be different if she said it in person because Chantal would see emma's expression on her face and she that she is serious about it.
ReplyDelete2.She could fix the problem by saying that she made it up or just standing up to her self and saying it is true.
3. I have gotten information from a friend that was never to be told but it ended up every where because one of the people she told wasn't the kind of person to tell. i felt really bad for her. i kept her secret to my self and told no one. Like a good friend would. I think its chantal's falt for it because she should have been a good friend and kept it to her self.

1. I think she should've called Chantal. At least she could add "Don't tell anyone" a lot quicker. Plus, Chantal shouldn't be sharing her business anyways.
ReplyDelete2. She shouldn't really mind people knowing, in my opinion. If she likes him she likes him. He probably would've found out anyway.
3. Yeah I think so. I don't really remember what it was though.
-Cici :3
Tiana:D I think that she should not tell anyone who she likes because it can get out to so many people so if i was i would not tell anyone.
ReplyDeleteKatie: :D
ReplyDelete1: When I got Teds text I would text him back. It would be Emma's fault for texting it to the next person.
2:it would be different cause Chantal would be able to see the expression on her face
3:She could tell Jose
4:Yes, someone kept swearing at me on my Facebook wall, I disfriended him

ReplyDelete1.) If Emma told her in person she could have told her not to tel anyone., the other girl wouldn't have forwarded the message to anyone....
2.) She could have ask the other girl to tell Ted not to tell anyone or told her to tell Ted that it was a joke and try to cover up for best friend.
3.) Nothing really......I Don't share things with people that i don't trust........
(:
(KK) #1) If Emma told Chantal in person she would have been better off than her doing it on text. Than in case Chantal tried telling someone it would just reflect on her instead of everyone else that herd of that vital information. She could go talk to her friend and ask what she did and try to figure out what to do next.
ReplyDeleteTeshoni
ReplyDelete1.) It probably would be better if she had told Chantal in person so that she couldn't forward the message but Emma didn't know that she was going to tell anyone because Chantal promised that she wasn't going to tell anyone...
2.) If I was Emma I would tell my crush that I have a crush on him so that he wouldn't find out from someone else... N she hopefully learned from her mistake to tell someone who she likes but just to keep it to herself if she has a crush...
3.) If one of my friends tell me something and they tell me not to tell anyone I wont that's there information for them to share if they want to share it, if they want everyone to know, they can tell them and I wont be in the wrong...
1) It would have been better to tel Chantel in person, because Chantel could have seen how serious, or Chantel probably wouldn't told anyone as quickly.
ReplyDelete2)Emma could just tell everyone who knows, not to tell anyone, post it on any websites, or talk about it with anyone else. Or Emma could tell the boy that she likes him and then it wouldn't be a problem.
3)No one has ever shared embarrassing information about me, but they have shared somethings that I didn't want my other friends to see. I told the person who put it up to take it down, and/or tell everyone that she was kidding and it was a misunderstanding.
Brooke :)
1) If Emma told Chantel in person only she and Chantel would know.
Delete2)Emma should people know about her liking Jose. That way he might ask her out.
3) I haven't done anything like the because I don't have a cell phone or facebook.
Love you all- Alyssa (<_>) <3

ReplyDelete1.)I think I would tell them that I was just joking or something. I think it was chantels fault that it was shared because she betrayed her friends trust.
2.)If she had told her about it in person her friend might have been more likely not to share because it was face to face.
3.)She could tell people she only meant to tell her best friend and would like to tell jose she likes him herself.
4.) yeah but it wanst that bad because my friend only told one person
1.) I would be very surprised, hurt, and confused. I think that Chantal is the most to blame. She shouldn't have forward the message to Zeke.
ReplyDelete2.) If Emma were to tell Chantal in person, that could have prevented Chantal to send it to anyone else.
3.) Emma should tell her crush that she likes him so nothing worse happens. Then she wouldn't have to worry about it getting around eventually to him.
4.) I have been in the situation many times where someone has texted me something that was private. I kept it to myself so that I wouldn't break trust with my best friend.

1) Emma should ask her friend why she told everybody.It is Emma`s fault because she told her friend and it was not face to face so Chantel never really new how Emma felt.
ReplyDelete2)If Emma told Chantel face to face, Chantel would have known how Emma felt and she couldn`t forward it.
3)She should say it was a question and they should forget it, she should also talk to Chantel and understand why she forwarded it, a friend would not be a friend if you couldn`t trust her.
4)No i would only tell someone i trust. :)
Nehal :)
Amara;D <3
ReplyDelete1) I would ask Ted how he found out about the text.
2) Chantal would be able to read Emma's face expressions and under stand it has to stay between Emma and Chantal.
3) If my friends tell me something personal ill keep it secret i wont tell no one but if they say i could i will if they want me to.
1)Stop on Teds foot...Chantal.
ReplyDelete2)Honestly in this middle school it wouldn't really matter I think. A crush is a small thing, so not too much collateral damage.
3)Tell people she didn't care if they new.
4)Yes, i just joked along with everybody else it was soon in the past, thats all that mattered to me.

ReplyDelete1) Chantal would have seen how serious Emma was and probably wouldn't tell anybody.
2) I think she could just laugh along and later pull her friend aside and talk to her.
3) No.
1:I would be really mad at her for spreading my secrets withoutt my permission, but i'd get over it eventually.
ReplyDelete2:I think that Chantal would have taken me more seriously and wouldn't have told.
3:She could be like YES I do LIKE jose and if you have a problem with it then tell me or get OVER it!!
4:Yes my bestfriend told information about me that i didn't want people to know.

Helen :D
ReplyDelete1)Emma's because she told her friend.
2)I think Chantal would still tell her friends.
3)Emma should tell Jose.
4)No

ReplyDeleteAdriana
ReplyDelete1) She wouldn't have forwarded the text to anyone else, and then it wouldn't have been forwarded to anyone else either. (but Chantel would still be able to tell people.
2) She could lie or just say she was kidding.
3) I've never had anything go around that i didn't want people to know about. But I've been there for my friends, when they had rumors or things spread about them.
1) I think it would not be diffrent because her friend would have just told other people
ReplyDelete2) She could just go with it but thats all i think she could do not be
3) I have had information shared about me. I just wint with the fact that is was out there
1. If Emma had told her friend in person then she might have seen how serious she was about her crush being a secret.
ReplyDelete2.I dont think that that Emma and her friend can't fix the problem they started. Once something is out there it stays out there.
3.Yes, my friends have texted me about people and I just make sure not to spread it around.
1- I think it is Chantal's fault because she had Emma's trust not to tell but yet she did. If I were Emma and I got that text from Zeke I would of asked who told him, and then when I found out it was Emma I'd probably not talk to her..
ReplyDelete2-If Emma would have told Chantal in person Chantal would've been able to see how serious Emma was about her not telling anybody and it most likely would not of been spread.
3-She could just tell people herself that YES, she does like Jose and not to make a big deal of it.
4-No
~Jaci:)
1) Its Emma's Fault Because Emma Should Have Told Her Face To Face. Then Chantal Would Have Anything To Forward.
ReplyDelete2) Chantal Would Still Have Told Other People.
3)Emma Should Admit It. That Could Make It A Little Better.
4)Yes, I Just Said It Was True.
Tessa
1) If Emma told her friend in person then told her to keep it a secret only her friend would know about it.
ReplyDelete2) Well if she denise it people mite call her a lier, but if she admits it and doesn't care what any one thinks she mite get picked on but the guy she likes mite still like her back.
3) I guess when I told one of my friends about this guy I liked but I new he liked me so it wasn't a problem.
sarah walker;
ReplyDelete1) i would have asked ted who he heard that from.
2) Chantal probably would have known not to tell anyone.
3) tell jose herself, so he gets it from her instead of someone else.
4) yes, and i can never trust that person again.
1. I would talk Chantal about the spreading of the rumor. It is Emma's fault for sharing her something private that shouldn't have been shared.
ReplyDelete2. The situation wouldn't have been much different, because Chantal could have still spread it by telling something else still. It was at school, so it wasn't much different.
3. Emma could have just told Jose in person, so that he would know, and it wouldn't have to be a secret. He later, would have found out sooner or later.
4. Yes, I told my closest friend my crush's name, and she told someone else, and later it spread through a lot of people. He soon found out. I didn't really care if he knew, and luckily he liked me! :) I still regret telling her my secret though. I didn't want a lot of people to know...

Jazmyn-
ReplyDelete1) Its Emmas fault she shouldnt have told anyone. If she didnt want anyone to kknow she shouldnt have told anyone?
2) I dont think it would be different because chantal probably cant keep a secret.
3) I dont think Emma can fix this situation because everyone already knows.
4)Ya. And i kept it a secret:) ****************

ReplyDelete1) i think that is Chantals fault because Emma told her not to tell anyone, to keep it a secret
2) emma should have told Chantal in person because then she would be able to see Emmas facial expressions and hear her voice and how seriouse she is.
3) yes, there is a way she can make it better, she can just ignore or not tell Chantel anymore secrets because she obviously is blabbing her mouth to everyone
4) i keep secrets if someone tells me something and they don't want me to tell anyone then i wont tell. and yes, one of my friends told someone my secret.

ReplyDelete#1
If it was I and i got the text from ted i would go talk to Chantal cause I would know she forward the text to the people and that's how it got around.I would say it would be mostly Emma's fault cause instead she should have told Chantal in person or for even trusting Chantal.But maybe if told her in person it would have been different but mostly Emma's and partly of Chantal's fault for telling every body knowing it would get around.
#2
It might not have even been different if she told Chantal in person cause Chantal would have started telling the people she forward the text in person.The only thing that would change is it not being told by digital devices.
#3
The damage has already happened all she really could do is to talk to Chantal and understand why she did that also knowing it could end their friendship.
#4
Yes i have had a friend text people something i dint what people to know. The thing that was private was something to do with a guy but i trusted the person cause though of her as my sister but she told her friends and they told other people and cause what i did i get a bad reputation with people and lost some friends. But the the thing that happened with the guy was even a mistake and if could take it back which i cant i would.
For number one I would say pleas don't talk about it even if they have already told someone.I think Chantal and Emma are both at fault because Emma could of talked in person so Chantal can see her body language.Chantal should of thought this serious I shouldn't tell.Number two it would of been better because they can see each others emotions towards the subject. Three I don't know. Last I've never let out infromation because I don't have that stuff ANNIE.
ReplyDeletei would of asked where ted found out who Emma liked then i would of went to my friend and ask her if she told anyone the secret and if she told that she did then i would never talk to her again.sheri
ReplyDeleteEmeline
ReplyDelete1) If I was Emma, I would go and yell at at my friend. Chantal was the most at fault.
2) I think that id Emma had told Chantal in person, then Chantal would have nothing to forward.
3) I would text Ted asking what he was talking about and say that I just found my phone under my bed and that my cousin probably sent that the text.
4)No.
Carmella.
ReplyDelete1.) If I were Emma, I wouldn't text any personal information again. It was mostly Emma's fault for sending that personal text, not thinking about what could happen. I would also be more careful with who to trust
2.) The situation would be different if Emma told Chantal about her crush in person because she would be able to communicate better, and it wouldn't be able to get forwarded.
3.) Emma could resolve/fix the situation by not texting any personal information about herself to others. She could also be careful who to trust.
4.) no comment.(:
1) I would totally freak and go ask Chantal what happened to don't tell anyone. I think it's Chantal's fault even though Emma told her thru TXT.
ReplyDelete2) Then unless Chantal is a dirty backstabber it would have been a secret till they started dating.
3) She could just ask everyone to keep quiet,but there really is no way to fix it.
4) Ya but I didn't forward it like a .
Coleby
Amanda 1I might feel I don't really care what Ted is texting about because I might just ager it if I don't like what he said. It could be worst because the person might say oh its okay Emma don't feel bad what.Emma might feel scard to talk to face to face.
ReplyDelete2She might say oh its okay I don't really like Jose She might like him or just puten she does. It might be better maybe.
3no not really because no one is mean to me. I don't really pose bad things on Face book or other. No not really no one has shared about me. Have not heard about it.
Aubrielle
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I think that if Emma truly wanted it to be a secret she shouldn't of told ANYONE. Also I think that if Chantal was really her "best friend" she would of not told anyone,but now Emma cant trust her.
Second, maybe things would be different because she wouldn't have any proof.
Third, it is too late to fix her situation, everyone knows and if they don't they will some how.
Finally, yes people have shared information about myself over text and internet. The next day I asked the person what was there problem but face to face so we both could know how to deal with the situation, and find a result.
Pearl
ReplyDeleteI would talk to Chantal about sharing secret information. I also think that it both Emma's and Chantal's fault because Emma shouldn't of told Chantal through text and should of told her face to face and Chantal shouldn't of told anyone because she swore secrecy over the phone which should of worked better than text but i don't think that she would of kept it a secret anyways. A way for Emma to resolve herself is to probably to tell them that she should remember not to tell anyone anything that you don't want anyone to know.
Zoey
ReplyDelete1. If I was Emma I would think of what to say before I said anything, I would have to calm down so I don't do anything stupid. I would have to say it would be my fault for telling my best friend but it's also the best friends fault, if you trusted your best friend she should have been truthful and not told.
2. She could have looked at her body language and her tone of voice when she said she promised, or her reaction. In person you can tell when someone is serious about keeping a secret.
3. She can ask if he really does like her and say sorry to him if he doesn't and tell the truth to everyone.
4. Nothing I can remember.
Lauren
ReplyDelete1) I would tell Ted to tell me where he heard that and not to tell anyone else.
2) Chantal could maybe have seen that Emma really did not want her to tell anyone about it and she would not have the opportunity to forward the message.
3) Emma could say that she was just messing around but tell all the people who knew about it to keep it a secret.
4) I have never had anyone post something secret about me and I tend to stay away from most sites like facebook because I don't want secrets to get out online.
HALEY:
ReplyDelete#1. i would have told ted it was none of his bissness who i liked then i would ask him who told him and trace it back to the sourse. if i were emma, if Chantal really was my best friend i would tell her face to face at school when we were alone or somewhere other than on a cell phone or email. it was was mostly Emma's fault. she should've thought about her actions before she did it.
#2.if she told her face to face it still could've been spread but things just look real when its in text because you cant see the social cues of the behavior of the root texter.
#3. she could make it better by just either telling the people who found out to mind there own bissness and leave the sisituation alone. or she could just come out with it and don't worry about what other people think.
#4. yes , i have had that happen to many times. i just ignore all the teasing and just go to school like nothing happened.
kayla
ReplyDeletenumber one, ignore it and it would be the friends fault. two if she had told Chantal in person than she could have told her not to tell any one and it would have stayed secret. #3 she cant resolve it. #4 i have talked about someone, but i made him promise not to tell first.
