Hope Witsell

Posted by Kimone White in Technology- Freshmen · Hertz · e1 on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 7:11 pm

​

             Hope Witsell


Hope Witsell was a 13 year old who grew up in Sundance, Florida. It all started in the Spring 2009, when Hope send a nude picture of her upper body to the boy she liked. Another girl borrowed his phone, found the image and forwarded it to students from six schools in the area. Before Hope could do anything about it the picture had gone viral. The photo made Hope a target. People would walk up to her and call her whore and slut. She hid her pain from her family. Online her friends said bullies writes horrible things about Hope, anonymous bullies created a Hope hater page to taunt her. In school, her friends formed a human shield because people would try to hit her or push her into the lockers. Her parents didn't know what was going on.


It was on a Saturday as school was starting, Hope helped her dad mow the lawn, ate dinner with her parents and then went upstairs to her room. Her parents turned on a TV show and when they finished watching the program, her Mom went upstairs to kiss her goodnight that went she found her. She screamed for her husband as she was putting her on the bed and doing CPR. It was too late, Hope was already dead. The 13 year old hung herself from her bed with her favorite scarves.


The day before she died, Hope met with a social worker at school. A spokesperson for the school said the social worker was concerned about her and that Hope may have been trying to harm herself. So, she had her signed a no-harm contract, in which Hope promise to speak to an adult if she was considering hurting herself. Her mom said she was never told about the contract, she found it crumpled in the garbage in Hope’s bedroom after she had died. The bullying was not over. After Hope’s suicide,her sister found more cruel comments posting on Hope’s Myspace page like, "Oh my god did she really kill herself, I can’t believe that whore did that." Obscene things written by children, Hope Witsell though it was only one way to escape it.   




Immediacy: She didn’t think about what would have happened when she sent the picture to the boy, she just did it.

Permanence: Even if she made the boy delete it, it doesn’t matter because a lot of different kids have the picture and although she died people out there may still have the picture somewhere.


Lack of Control: Once the picture got out she can never get it back.


Advice: Even though she is dead, if she were still alive my advice will be don’t send out any obscene pictures, be careful who send pictures to.

FouseyTube

Posted by Damien Dos Santos in Technology- Freshmen · Hertz · e1 on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 5:38 pm

FouseyTube


Fouseytube is a popular youtuber who has done things that he has later regretted and sometimes leaves the site because he gets hate. It started when the drama reporting channels became popular, Fouseytube kept preaching about drama being bad on youtube and I don't think he is wrong for thinking that but I do think it's wrong to keep saying it´s bad and then faking yourself getting punched causing more drama. After he got caught faking it he started saying that he faked it because he was trying to manipulate certain youtube channels but in the end it didn't work.

When Fouseytube was getting a lot of hate he had a fan that had brain cancer, when fouseytube heard about this fan he decided to fly to where the fan lived and visit him and help the kid and his family. But what was suspicious about it was when he did all this when he was getting hate from other people and that he was vlogging almost the whole time he was there with the fan. Most people thought he was using this kid just so he can not get hate, but I think he just did this at the wrong time and it looks like he was using this kid for attention when that probably his real intention.

When fouseytube got back home nothing happened (revolving him) for a week but on the second week he was back he started tweeting very weird things for example he tweeted: Martin luther king jr., and Tupac (he tweeted more names but these two names are the most important). After he tweeted this his fans started asking him why he tweeted these names But then he made a video about why he tweeted these names and in the video he says that he feels he is the Tupac of youtube, the second he made the video and uploaded it got so much hate and he was made fun of so quickly. This event isn't the worst but it was definitely a stupid thing to upload.

The next thing i'm going to talk about  took place at fouseytubes and romanatwoods tour where in the tour they went to a stage and fouseytube asked fans to go up to the stage and say something but when one of the fans came to the stage and said a name of youtuber that fousey really disliked and he kicked the fan off of the stage and after that tour was over about a month later he started tweeting very rude things to his to his fans.

As a result of all these events fouseytube has left youtube because he wanted to take a break from youtube and all its drama.

During my research I did not see much immediacy, for Permanence you can clearly find it in this man's social medias especially on youtube because he doesn't delete anything that will make him money (that's what I think at least) and people just like downloading and taking screenshots of people looking bad because that's how the internet is so ya fouseytube is not going to get what he wants out of the internet. Lack of control was also very easy to see in this guy's social media because everyone knows about what he has done and he can't do anything about it.

“A suicide story A 15-year-old girl from Ireland also committed suicide because of devastating ask.fm bullying. She was found in the woods near where she lived in September of 2012. Before she did so, she even told some of her friends about suicide since she was being bullied. She was told over and over that she was fat and that she had no respect for herself.”

https://nobullying.com/stories-of-7-teen-suicides-because-of-ask-fm-bullying/


The effects this had on the young girls life was her parents are probably broken hearted their little girl is not alive anymore. The comments probably influenced the girl to have low self esteem. The best thing she could have done was tell an adult, delete her account, make a new account, block the disrespectful users, or even make her page private. The suicidal incident could have been avoided if she took those options. The people that post hurtful comments have immediacy but the targeted girl has permanency because now people have the ability to label her as joke.

Russian teens harm animals on video

Posted by Gianna Handschin in Technology- Freshmen · Hertz · e1 on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 12:32 pm

In this article, a Russian teenage girl films herself killing animals with her friend, and puts the videos on social media. Along with posting these horrible videos, she also said online that she planned on killing her mother. Supposedly, they adopted animals no one wanted and swore to take care of the animals, but instead they filmed themselves murdering innocent animals to post the videos online. In result to the videos becoming viral across multiple social media outlets, the two teenagers were arrested.


The choices they made will forever haunt those girls; if they aren't in prison their names and faces will forever to be tied to slaughtering animals, which links into the seriousness of how permanence plays into whatever you post online. In relation to immediacy one instagram picture seems to be from this month, (I had to guess, I couldn’t translate the date.) Which is a great example of how fast it takes for a single social media post to blow up. As for lack of control, I don’t think these girls even thought of that. Surly they were aware that anyone could see what they posted, the one girl’s instagram wasn’t even on private. Most likely they didn’t think it through, or maybe they didn't understand how serious the situation was.


The only advice I could give to these girls is the following; If you are feeling that emotionally unstable then you need to get help. Talk to an adult, get a therapist, find a positive outlet that doesn’t hurt anyone/anything. Instead of creating such a negative image for yourself, do something amazing. Although my  advice might not be helpful because of how serious this case is,  I still really believe that more people should strive to be an amazing person.

Article:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3689780/Playboy-model-Dani-Mathers-sparks-furious-backlash-body-shaming-naked-woman-Snapchat.html


Headline of Article:

‘If I can't unsee this then you can't either!' Playboy model Dani Mathers sparks a huge backlash after body shaming a naked woman in the gym showers on Snapchat.


Model Dani Mathers body shamed a woman taking a shower at the gym and put pictures of her doing so on Snapchat and captioned them “If I can’t unsee this, you can’t either”. Apparently, the photos she took body shaming the women were supposed to be used in a private conversation and shared with one person. After she posted the pictures to her thousands of followers, she was called out for body shaming and sued by the woman she body shamed. She immediately apologized for her actions after being bashed on social media by millions of people.


Her actions have had a major impact on her reputation and how people see her as a person. People that have not known her before this incident have had a horrible first impression about her. The story and the images are still circulating around the internet and she cannot remove them because the pictures have been screenshotted, saved, reposted, and shared around the globe. This has to deal with lack of control, when you post something, you have to be mindful what you post because it can be shared in an instant and you cannot control what happens to your post and what people do with it. It technically will never be deleted.




When she posted those pictures to social media, she couldn’t undo it. This has to deal with permanence. What she posted would never be erased and whatever she did on the internet is permanent and will circulate around on the web forever.


People started sharing, reposting ,and screenshotting the photos that the model took immediately after she shared those pictures. This is how the person she took the photos of eventually found out about the photos that were taken of her. This has to deal with Immediacy . Immediately after you post something, people are already viewing it and sharing it with others.


My advice for what Dani Mathers on what she should have done during that situation would be that she could’ve kept her thoughts to herself. It was not necessary for her to put her negative thoughts about another person on social media. Especially if it’s negative or hurtful because that can lower people’s self confidence and cause them to harm themselves.

The Check-In's of the North Dakota Pipeline

Posted by Amaya Lambert in Technology- Freshmen · Hertz · e1 on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 9:13 am

The North Dakota pipeline movement have been shaking social media these past few months. And their impact on sites such as Facebook are spreading throughout the world. This article states how people are somewhat ‘checking in’ on Facebook to show that they’re going to Standing Rock, ND to protest against the pipeline. There was a post on Facebook, saying that the sheriff department checks on Facebook to see how many people are going to protest and who exactly are they.  A post came in, though the article doesn’t state the identity of the person who posted it. Many people have ‘checked in’ on Facebook, claiming that they are protesting on the North Dakota pipelines. It’s to trick the police and try to find a way to help the protesters of the pipeline.


Though I don’t have the identity of the one individual who posted the comment but their actions did help the protesters, in a way. People were ‘participating’ through the screen of their phone or laptops. They had an impact on the pipeline protest, finding a way to help the people and try to confuse the police but they didn’t have that big of a effect. On the article, say of the actual protesters said that it would have been nice if the people who claimed they were at Standing Rock, North Dakota could actually be there. Their participation on the protest didn’t really have as much as a positive effect as they were suppose it. Instead they might have just confused and annoyed the police. Plus, the article says that the sheriff department actually doesn’t monitor Facebook feeds or comments about people protesting the North Dakota pipeline. They say it’s completely false.


Immediacy plays into this. Everyone saw the post and since they felt bad for the people protesting the pipeline being arrested and they’re not able to help them, they decided to believe into this ‘check in’ on Facebook and participate in that. The post has an positive impact on the people in Facebook. It rallied some up to post that they were going to North Dakota to protest against the pipeline and as more people were posting, it eventually had articles on it and gaining some popularity. Maybe teenagers and students on Facebook see this posts and think to try to do something for the community. My advice would be next time, instead of just saying something on the Internet, go and try to make a positive impact on your own. If you can’t physically go, maybe donate and speak out for the cause. Try to inform everybody about it and how it’s bad for people who are protesting against it and are being arrested for something they believe in.


I think the motives of this whole ‘check in’ thing was good. They had good intentions but if they really wanted to play a role in this, try to actually go to North Dakota and participate in the protests. The post was claimed to be false in information and just confused the department. They did have some form of support for the protesters of the North Dakota pipeline but one of them did say, “It would have nice to have those 550,000 people really here.”

"White Makes You Win!"

Posted by Roy-Yae Weatherbe in Technology- Freshmen · Hertz · e1 on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 9:06 am

      This article has a negitive effect on the people around us. In this was a cosmetics video featuring Cris Horwang and another model. They show a model with a very light skin-tone and then they slowly begin to show Cris appear in a darker skin-tone. It was like comparing a white and black person together. Then the narrator then says, "White makes you win" as to say that being white or a much lighter skin-tone is better. This may make others of a darker tone feel insecure about themselves. Immediacy- the video was sent out after edits and filming. Permanence- They didn't delete it but they did apologize because it was racist and they didn't realize at first. Lack of Control- Once they uploaded it they couldn't control the comments and things that they got.

Be Conscious, Think Before you Post

Posted by Kaitlyn Bond in Technology- Freshmen · Hertz · e1 on Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 8:54 am

Kaitlyn Bond

This article is about Carly Mckinney, a first year tenth grade math teacher, who Tweeted inappropriate pictures of herself, regularly Tweeted about her liking to smoke pot, and used rave and drug-related hashtags. Mckinney was a teacher at Overland High School in Aurora, Colorado. This incident affected Mckinney greatly, it resulted in her getting fired from her job as a teacher. In addition, it may be more difficult for Mckinney to get a job in the future due to her online choices. Mckinney’s online choices affected others because the students that she had didn’t have her as a teacher anymore, and Overland High School had to find another teacher to take Mckinney’s place. Also, it affected the school district because they had to make a statement on the situation and it might have made some people think that the school district isn’t doing a good enough job at tracking their employee’s online lives.

Immediacy affected Carly Mckinney’s situation a large amount because once she posted the photos and posts, she couldn’t ever gain control of them again, and this may be one of the reasons why Mckinney was fired. Everybody could have been sharing the photos and posts around almost immediately, and eventually the school district was able to see the photos, which probably didn’t take very long. Permanence has affected Mckinney’s situation because even if you delete a post, somebody will most likely be able to find it, since the photos and posts may have been shared so many times, it would be hard to keep the photos and posts hidden. Lastly, lack of control affected Mckinney because once she posted those tweets online, she couldn’t ever get them back or have them completely erased. If I could give Mckinney advice, I would say that she probably shouldn’t do the things that she’s doing, or at the very least not post about them. In addition, I would say that she should delete the posts or start a new Twitter account, and start fresh from what she can control. In conclusion, everybody should be cautious about what they post online because their lives could be greatly affected by it.
