First of all, if you aren’t familiar with the term of plagiarism, it means to claim somebody’s work for your own and/or not give the original author any credit.
I’ve recently been playing this app called Episode where you can choose a story and make your own decisions throughout the game. In the app, you can also write your own stories and have them published so that other people can take part in your written episode. But this can only work if you agree to the Terms and Conditions. Naturally, I wouldn’t read anything because I think it’s just the usual stuff: no swear words, nothing too inappropriate, etc. But my dad read the Terms and Conditions, and he didn’t skip reading anything. Turns out that if you write an interesting story Episode can take it and publish it without asking for permission, change it however they want, and above all, they don’t say that you wrote the story. This is plagiarism people! Also, if you write a story that is originally written by someone else and Episode gets sued for plagiarism, Episode will sue you for causing them trouble.
I honestly think that this is a whole new level of plagiarism. Just think about it: If you write a good story Episode says takes all the credit, and if you copy another story Episode gives you all the credit.
What’s the point in writing the story if you don’t get any credit, and if you right a story that’s like another story you get in trouble for it. I’m so glad my dad read the Terms and Conditions to write a story on Episode, otherwise I would have written a story and would’ve gotten absolutely NO credit for it.

What do you think about the way Episode causes and deals with plagiarism?

I was at a concert recently and I was a little disappointed at how late the show actually started. I was there at the time the gates opened, and waited the entire hour and a half for the time the show was SUPPOSED to start. But, the opening act started half an hour late and played for 50 minutes. Before and after that the audience was watching music videos on a giant screen that they could’ve just watched on Youtube at home.
The actual concert began 45 minutes after that, and lasted for one hour and a half. I was disappointed because I was there for a total of 5 hours and I got what I wanted for only an hour and a half. Don’t get me wrong, the concert was great, and I enjoyed every minute of it- but seriously, the entire time waiting was extremely boring. I spent about an hour playing Flappy Bird waiting for the concert to start.

So you’re asking why I wrote a post about this? Well, I just think that the singers (if they ever read my blog) should be careful about how late they start their concerts. I’ve seen the hate comments on Youtube, and late concerts just give them more reasons to hate the singers, and some fans may go to the dark side because of this. It may seem silly to you, the singers- but who wants to pay a lot of money for something they have to wait ages for? I think the answer to that is obvious,and I don’t want my favorite band in the whole wide world to lose their fans. I’m a loyal fan and always will be, but I’m just warning all artists that some fans aren’t.

Lesson Of The Day For Singers: Start your concerts on time, or at most ten minutes late. And if you do start two hours late sing for more that one hour and a half. I’m serious, don’t make people wait a long time for something that lasts very little (like my concert experience last night). It may be hard to sing or do interesting things for so long, but everything will turn out just fine if you do. Believe me, what goes around comes around.

Okay, I know that it sounds cheesy that I’m writing a post on cyberbullying, but it’s a serious problem in our everyday society. I want to talk about the real reason of cyberbullying: which no-one knows. Nobody really knows who’s fault it is… because there are multiple suspects.

The Bully
The bully is the main cause of every thing. Usually the ‘popular’ person at school starts it, which makes them the President of the Problem. When they start bullying the person online, other people people follow their bad example and start to bully the person as well. This is called Herding. Like sheep, people tend to follow other peoples’ actions just because it seems like the majority of people they know are doing it as well. So if the popular person starts cyberbullying someone, everyone else will too because they thinks it’s cool or something.
The bully could also be someone who has been bullied before or has been through a really tough time. They feel as if everyone is trying to be mean to them and start being rude for that reason. And other people follow them because they don’t have any proof, and it seems much easier to believe what the bully said than make up their own mind if what the bully said is true or not.

The Victim
The victim should usually be pitied in most circumstances, but I question their judgement. If they’re being bullied by people, they should block everyone who is bullying them. They can go to the police about their situation, and I assure you that the police can trace all the messages back to the bully. Also, the victim could just delete their account on the website/ app and save themselves a lot of trouble. But first and foremost, the victim shouldn’t do anything to cause the bullying to start. They shouldn’t:
1)Post any pictures that would make people call them names.
2)Call anybody any names, no matter what they did. If someone posted a raunchy picture, ignore it. If someone said something mean to them, ignore it and tell someone (preferably an adult) that they trust.
The victim shouldn’t let themselves fall into being bullied so easily. This is what I mean by how it could be the victim’s fault.

The Parents
It could be the parents’ fault for letting their child sign up to websites that could cause them any harm. If they do, they should at least monitor their child’s activity online. And giving children their own phones and not checking on them is dangerous. People say that it would be violating privacy, but his is something serious. There’s nothing wrong to check someone’s phone to see if everything is okay. The best thing to do I think is for parents to get an app like My Mobile Watchdog, so that they can check on their child’s phone and see what’s happening without having to physically take their child’s phone to see what’s been happening. They could just delete messages they don’t want people to see before their parents look at them. Apps like My Moblie Watchdog let parents see the messages their children send and receive and let them see a photo/ video their child is going to send before it’s even sent.

Everybody Else
It’s everybody else’s fault for either taking part in the bullying or doing nothing about it. It’s a sin if you can help to do good but don’t do anything instead. So they should either stop bullying or do something about it. You can help make laws that are against cyberbullying. People do things now because they mightn’t be against the law and feel free to do what they like.

Cyberbullying is serious and people have to do something about it. People commit suicide from being a victim of cyberbullying, so it’s obviously no joke! Also I have a message for the Cyberbullies.
“Everything you post on the internet is saved permanently, so I’d be careful of what I did post on the internet if I were you.”
This isn’t a threat, it’s a fact.

Message from The Blogger: I’m really really really really really really really really really really sorry that I haven’t posted in a really long time, you have no idea how busy I’ve been! I hope you enjoy this nail post from my friend.

Hey it’s the blogger’s friend. I know they haven’t posted in a while but come on, they’re a busy person! Anyway back to the topic…..nails. The Blogger told me that you’ve been asking for another make-up post, so I made one for them. These are some tips and tutorials for nails.

1). Mix two colours together, but test it out on a piece of paper first to make sure you like it. Don’t wait for the first colour to dry put the other one on straight away. That’s what makes it a mix.

2). Another really cool thing is where you get two colours, (I recommend black and a bright colour like pink or yellow or blue). You start by painting the bright colour as a base coat. Then leave it to FULLY dry. After stick sellotape across half of you nail. It can be diagonal or just down/across. Then paint over the uncovered nail. When you peel of the sellotape, there should be a perfect half and half combination on your nails.

3) Ombre nails are also really cool. First, you paint a base coat of any colour you want, and then wait for it to dry. Then, take that colour and mix it with another colour that goes well with the other colour. Use a makeup sponge or a tissue to dab it onto the lower half of your nails and go upwards as it starts to fade. It will look like one colour is shading into the other one.

I hope you liked this post and that I will be on the blog more often. Bye!

P.S.
I hear The Blogger has a real treat coming up for y’all; so fingers cross that it’s a good one!

Okay, you might find it lame that in this post I am practically begging for more subscribers, views, and comments, but I really need them! I do my absolute best to entertain people on my website and I only have TWO followers. I’m not asking for two-million subscribers right now because I’m pretty sure that not even so many people know about my blog.  So today I’m not really going to give you a lesson, I am going to give you a task.

This task doesn’t have any prizes or anything because I have no idea how to send people something. So I am not making any winners eligible.              For this task you will need: to know a lot of people and an electronic device.

 The Task

1. Tell as many people as you can about my blog.If you can, get them to post a comment or subscribe.
2. Look at my blog and comment or subscribe yourself.

I think these instructions are pretty clear and that I’m not asking for much. So please actually try to do this.
