Write a paragraph response as a comment in which you discuss these questions:
- What would you say to your parents, if anything, if you were Tommy?
- How is Tommy’s parents’ reading his blog similar to or different from reading a diary that he’s written in anotebook or paper journal?
- Do you think it’s fair for his parents to read the things Tommy posts on the Internet, given that his blog is technically public? Why or why not?
- Why might his parents want to read his blog? Given these reasons, how would you react if your parents asked to read your email or text messages?
- Have you ever been in a situation where your parents or someone else has asked to read something that you felt was private? If so, how did you feel? What did you do?

ReplyDelete1. if i were the parents i think that i would be interseted in why Tommy didnt join the basketball team.
2. it is different because in a blog anyone can see it and if its in a journal only the people he wanted to see would see it.
3.yes because its his parents business what he is doing because they are his parents.
4. his parents might want to see his blog because they want to see what he was puting on the internet.
5 es i felt that it was my own businees and that they had nothing to do with what im doing.

3(yes, because he is they're son
4(They might want to see what he is talking bout like he could have said yea there is a party this weekend, i would show them
5(yes, my mom wanted to read my text messages i gave her my phone.
Dallin
ReplyDelete1. I wouldn't mind if my parents saw my blog, so i wouldn't have any thing to say.
2. It is different because he thought that they wouldn't see what he was posting, so he might have put things on there that we wouldn't normally say.
3. I think it is fair because he chose to have a blog so he took the risks.
4. I think his parents would want to read his blog because they want to know what he up to. I don't like it when my mom reads my texts because I think its none of her business.
5. My mom has read my texts before and I felt that it was private so I asked her not to but she still did.

ReplyDelete1. I would tell my parents that I made an online blog without their permission.
2. Reading his blog is different from a diary because anyone can read it.
3. I think it is fair for his parents to read his blog because they are his parents and have a right to know what he is posting online.
4. His parents would want to read his blog because they would want to know what he is doing online and make sure he isn't doing anything bad.
5. One time my friend wanted to read a private message from my dad once and I felt like he was being nosy. I told him it was private and I didn't let him read it.
Andy
ReplyDelete1. I would tell them why I didn't try out for the team. I would not talk to them about the blog.
2. Reading a blog is easy; all you have to do is find the link. Reading a diary would require sneakiness on the part of the parents.
3. Yes. He published it to the world and so anyone should be able to read it.
4. To spy on what he is doing in his life. If my parents asked to read my PRIVATE email/instant messages, the answer would be a resounding "no."
5. My parents once asked for my email password. I asked them why, and they could not answer.
Morgan
ReplyDelete1. I wouldn't mind too much, unless I had something really personal on there, i'd just start off with something like, "Is it okay if you don't look at my blog?" or something.
2. Their similar because his parents are reading about his life, but in a journal or diary, everything is kept to yourself, an on a blog anybody is able to see it.
3. It's perfectly fair, if he posts things publicly for everyone in the world to see, then his parents should be able to see it too.
4. To see what he's been up to, and to find out things that they don't know about him. I would let them, although I wouldnt be too happy about it.
5. Nope.
Levi
ReplyDelete1. I would tell them its none of their business.
2. It's different because its posted online and therefore accessible to everyone.
3. Yes, because he willingly posted it online and therefore everyone can access it.
4. To wonder what was on his mind, and I would let my parents read my email and text cause I rarely text and my mailbox is stuffed with hundreds of ads anyway.
5. No, and if it did happen I wouldn't let them read it if i thought it was personal and would deny it if it got out.
Matt
ReplyDelete1)i would say I don't like basketball

connor oneill
1 I would tell them that i made a blog.
ReplyDelete2 Reading his blog is not like a diary because your diary is secret.
3 I think his parents can read his blog because they are his guardians.
4 Is parents would wait to read his blog so they can make Sher he is not doing anything wrong.
5 One time i posted some thing about my family and my friend was reading it he was getting in my bigness.
eeli
ReplyDelete1.i would tell them why i didnt try out for the basketball team
2.it is different because it is public when you put it on the blog
3.yes if you share stuff on the internet you are shareing it to everyone
4.they want to know whats going on in his life and stuff
5.no
1. I would tell them because I didnt have the time.
ReplyDelete2. It is different because anyone can read a blog but only people who physicaly have his diary can read it.
3. Yes, because they are his parents and he has to listen to what they tell him to do.
4. They might want to read it to check on him and to make sure he is being safe and appropriate. I would hide my phone and explain to my mom that I dont want her reading what I text my girlfriend because that would be really weird.
5. Yes, I got kind of mad and I pushed them away because they were trying to read my texts and I dont like people to read my texts. -Joey
1.) I would say that the blog was old and i forgot that it was still up.
ReplyDelete2.) Reading a blog is for social and open world to talk about yourself but a dairy is for your self and no one else to read.
3.)Yes because a blog is for public use or for friends. Its his fault for not putting it on friends only.
4.) I would just say that its my mistake that its not post to be public and that i want only certain people to see it.
5.)i have not have it happen to me so far but if it did happen i would "Attempt" to make a lie that it was fake and learn from my mistake. alberto
I would say basketball isnt my thing
ReplyDeleteIts different because the whole world can read it
Yes its fair.
his parent might just be concerned. I would just delete everything from my phone that i want to keep private.
Yes and I felt fine because I did this ^
Max
ReplyDelete1 I would tell my parents why i would not want to join the basketball team
2 A blog is different than a journal entry because in a blog almost anyone can see it while in a journal it is limited to the people Tommy wanted to share with
3 Yes i believe it is fair for the parents to see what Tommy is writing on blogs because the parents should have the right to know what Tommy is doing
4 Tommy's parents would want to see the blog so they would know what he is posting
5 Yes i have been in a situation were my mom has wanted to see what i had been texting and i had no choice but to show her
Colin
ReplyDelete1) I would explain to them why I had not played basketball because I am getting teased about being short.
2) It's completely different. Having a blog is something that gets documented on the internet, and having a journal means you can hide it somewhere without it ever being found.
3) It's completely okay, no matter what, even if it's a journal or blog, his parents should be allowed to be a part of his life.
4) His parents might read it because they're worried. I wouldn't care if my parents went through my things, mainly because I don't have anything unusual in them.
5) No I haven't ever been in that situation.
Nicholas
ReplyDelete1.) I would have told them that every one said i was too short.
2.) As a blog his parents could have thought that it wasn't his "diary", on paper in a book it is more like a diary.
3.) I think yes, because they are his parents and also it is a public website.
4.) Too see if he is making "good comments" and not posting anything bad or personal. I would let my parents check because they have the right too
5.)No.
1. i would simply say " i'm not telling you."
ReplyDelete2. you post things in your blog like you write things in a diary.
3. i do not think Tommy's parents should read his blog with out his consent.
4. his parent might want to read his blog to find out more about his life, or if people are picking on him.i have no email or something i could text on so i do not know.
5. no i have not.
Alex Martin-Frank
Bela
ReplyDelete1. I would tell my parents I just didn't want to tryout.
2. Its different because when its in your diary its private and only your parent will see it on a blog its public.
3. Yes because you didn't put a lock on it.
4. They might want to know if he is having trouble or not. I would be shocked that they found it.
5. Yes. I felt nervous. I deleted some of my personal messages.
Raymond
ReplyDelete1.I would talk to them why i didn't try out and the problems about school
2.its not a diary is secret and the blog is open
3.yes you practicly share with everyone when you post stuff on iternet
4.to see what he talks about how his school is going and stuff like that
5.nope
Luke. I'm sorry I did not tell you about the basketball try outs, the blog is different from a diary because the blog goes out into the world for every body to see it and your diary goes out to your parents so they can see it, yes because parents are suppose to look after there kids, they wanted to see what there son was putting online, I never put anything on the computer that was private.
ReplyDeleteSilas
ReplyDelete****************************************SHARE*****************************************
1)i would have told my parents that people were being mean to me at school and i would tell the truth.
2)i think their the same thing just one is a book and one is online.
3)no but i think he is not being so smart making his online blog not private cause lots of people can see his stuff.
4)to see all his stuff that he put online.
5)Nope
If I were Tommy I will tell my parent why i didn't join basketball team.Tommy blog is similar because he wrote ''that the only place where he get picked on''.It is fair because his parent need to what is he doing.His parent would want to read his blog because why would he decided not to join the team. adam
ReplyDeleteDakota taggard
ReplyDeleteIm sorry I did this.
Other people can read stuff on the internet.
Only the people that you let see your secret dairy on paper.
No.The parents shouldn't read public blogs.
To protect their son.
I havent been in such a such situation.
1) i didn't want to play basketball
ReplyDelete2) its harder to find a diary
3) yes because he posted it publicly
4) i would say no and then delete my messages
5) nope
sherwood
i would have told my parents i made a blog.
ReplyDeletebecause a "diary" would probly be private if your a guy with a diary.
its fair that his parents read it you let the world see it.
i wouldent care if my parents read everything i sent or posted.
i would have just told them i wouldent care.

Daniel
ReplyDelete1.) This is none of your business so leave me alone!
2.) Its less invasive, because reading something available to everyone online is not invading your child's privacy.
3.) I think its perfectly fir for his parents to read it, because he is being a total idiot.
4.) His parents may want to see his blog to see if he is currently in a sexual relationship with someone, or using drugs and/or alcohol. If my parents asked me to show them my emails or texts, I would say okay and quickly delete my emails and texts.
5.) NO my parents understand the parent/child relationship.
Tahj
ReplyDelete1. I wouldn't mind mind really, the only way i would really mind is if i had something important or private.
2.Its basicly the same but online with a password.
3.I think it is fair because its the same for his parents to read his diary.
4.I would ask why they want to if i had something bad or something private i would delete it or if i didnt really have anything bad i wouldn't care.
5.not really because i dont ever get in those situations my parents respect my privacy
1:I would tell my parents why i didn't try out
ReplyDelete2:There different because one is a book that he can hide, and the other one is a book that everyone can see
3:Yes because if its public its not just your buisness anymore
4:because he dosen't talk to them that much/I wouldn't be mad because i wouldn't say things that i wouldn't want people to see
5:no
Shane
Jordan
ReplyDelete1 i would be like just mind your bizness
2 i think that we put on the blog isn't right
3 i don't think so if it's on the blog yes they should read it
4 i'd let them check it but if it's something bad well
5 no i haven't
Lethearen
ReplyDelete1. I would of told my parents i didn't want to tryout for the basketball team.
2.The diary is private and the blog is for the public to see.
3. yes they should see it because it's a blog and its out to the public.
4. Because it's already in the public.
5. yes i think it's my own private stuff and i dont think they should look and my private stuff.
Javi
ReplyDelete1) I would say to my parents: I put up a blog on the internet, this is the site, the topic of the blog, and this is why I did it.
2) On the internet, it seems like he didn't want to tell his parents and that he might not be telling the truth. On a paper, it would seem like it was just something that he wanted to keep private.
3) Yes, because until Tommy is 18, his parents are in charge and the are allowed to see anything that he posts on the internet.
4) To see if he is being inapropreate. I would feel a little bit annoyed if my parents see my text messages, but I wouldn't mind it other wise because my parants are in charge.
5) I have not been in a situation like it.
Anthony
ReplyDeleteWell...you caught me dad.
A blog is public.
No. Because his parents should respect his privacy and stop trolling in his blog.
Because they have nothing better to do. I would just let them read it.
nope.
Alex
ReplyDelete1. Nothing
2. Its the same because he did not mean for them to read it so it is private to him.
3. No because he intended for it to be private and no one could connect him and it he should have put it private though
4. To learn about their son and find what he wasn't telling them
5. no and I am glad
Cole M
ReplyDelete1.Tell them whats happening at school
2. They cant find it if it was in a diary it would be more hidden
3. yes and no because i think his privacy should be keep to him self if he wants it to but yes because his parents should know whats happening
4. id let them read them and it woudnt bother me
5.Nope
Fred
ReplyDelete1)....crap.
2)his notebook he can hide and nobody can see it but his blog can be read by anyone who is literate.
3)A)Yes, it's fair because he posted knowing that it's public but i don't think it's right.
4)they want to see whats going on at school B)I would start deleting things.
5)No
Rane
ReplyDelete1. Yea ummmmm... I have a blog site.
2. Everybody can access it and one is viral when the other is on paper.
3. I think its fair because he never told them not to... or that he even had a blog but if he had asked them not to I think they should respect his privacy.
4. His parents might want to know for his well being and if my parents wanted to read my stuff i would ask for privacy because I dont go around picking up their phone and reading their texts.
5. I have been in this situation and I dont really like it because its my stuff and I dont take their phones and just barge into their texts.
Loren
ReplyDelete1) if i were the parents i think that i would be interseted in why Tommy didnt join the basketball team.
2)i think that it is different because it is more public and mostly any one can look it up at any time
3)i do not think that it is fair that they got to see that he did not think that it was public
4)they might want to see it to see what he said
5)nope
Kole
ReplyDelete1. I'd tell my parents that I didn't want to do basketball but do something else.
2. A diary is private but a blog is for the whole world to see.
3. Yes I think its fair because its his fault that he made the blog and writing down what happened to him that day.
4. I'd let them but I don't text or email that much.
5. Nope. Not yet though.
Robin
ReplyDelete1) if i were tommy i would say to my parents that i didn't mean for them to ever see it
2) blogs are very public
3) its fair because its public
4) the parents would want to read it because it is a nosey parent thing to do
5) no
1.The truth
ReplyDelete2.His blog is public so anyone can read it but a written diary is for only the people that he wants to see it.
3.Yes because he shared it with the world why not his parents
4.I'd say no because those emails or text messages are between me and that person.
5.No
Cleary
ReplyDelete1.I would tell them what was happening at school.
2.It's similiar because he is writing similiar information however it is different because everyone can read it so it is less of a intrusion into his privacy.
3.Yes it is fair because everyone in the world can too.
4.I would let them read them.
5.No that has never happened to me.
Jake
ReplyDelete1. I would tell my parents that I just didn't like basketball
2. A diary is private, you control it, while a blog is open to the world
3. Not really, he wanted it to be like a diary, not open for all to see
4. To see what he had been doing, and for me, i'd let them
5. Nope
Andrew

Patrick
ReplyDelete1.ummmmm.... I Suck At Basketball
2.Its Online And Visible To Anyone
3.Yes, But Then At The Same Time You Want I To Be Private To Your Parents
4.His Parents Might Read Hi Blog To See What He Has Not Been Telling Them, If My Parents Asked Me To Show Them My Texts, I Would Hide My SD Card
5.I Felt Like Running Away Forever Until They Forgot
HI MY NAME IS THE COOKIE MONSTER AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
ReplyDeleteshawn
ReplyDelete1 i stink at basket ball
2 i get picked on because i am little
3 i didnt even want to play basketball
4 i cant dunk the ball or even shoot it for that matter
Mark
ReplyDelete1. I would just talk about my problem with being on the basketball team, at that point.
2.Even though Tommy thought this blog was fairly private, it was still something completely open to read. A notebook diary is seen as very personal.
3. Tommy should make it clear to his parents if he wants them to read the blog or not. His parents just reading something he considered private is kind of nosy.
4. His parents might want to see his blog because they may want to find out about something that has been bothering him. I, personally, would feel a little affronted if my parents wanted to read my email.
5. I have never been in this situation before.
Noah
ReplyDelete1.I really wouldnt care because that situations not even a big deal to me.
2.Its the same because its his personal info.
3.I think its unfair but he shouldnt have posted it publicly.
4.Because parents are always in kids personal stuff.My parents ask sometimes and then i clear my texts and let them see.
5.Nope never had that problem,because i clear my texts.
sean
ReplyDelete1.i should have told you
2.blog is public
3.yes a blog is for anyone to read
4.to see what is going on in his life. i would not care
5.no
Michael
ReplyDelete1)I would say to my parents that I had wanted to do basketball but didnt want to be teased about it so I wouldnt do basketball but do something else.
2) Its the same thing as a diary or journal, its just on the internet, so, I would say that his parents did have a certain right to be able to read it because it was on the internet. But if it was in a journal and was hidden and didnt want to be read by anyone then I would say that his parents shouldnt be reading it if he had it hidded.
3) I think that Tommys parents did have the right to read his blog, since it was on the internet for everyone to see. If Tommy put a blog post on the internet, he should know that anyone can read it, therefore his parents did have the right to read the blog.
4) His parents would want to read his blog if Tommy didnt talk to his parents alot about his life. And the other part would be so that his parents would know what he's posting on his blog. My parents do check my texts and my Facebook every so often. When they do sometimes I dont want them to check my stuff even though they do anyway.
5) I have before and I just take the problem and everything one day at a time.
