What do you think of the beginning of this chapter?
Justin Alvarado sat in gym class observing Erica Nasso and her friends. Erica creeped him out. The way her lips puffed out when she frowned, the way she smiled with those horrid braces, and her shitty personality. No wonder she hated Savannah Ripley. Savannah was gorgeous while she looked like a constipated lizard on LSD. He felt like yelling at her, but he couldn’t, He was too nice for that. That kind of level was for Erica and Nicole Lyon. They were too scared to admit that they didn’t like Savannah. Especially Nicole. She just wanted to get a better reputation. As much as he had mixed feelings for Carter Atkins, he had rather seen him with Savannah than Nicole. Carter made Savannah happy. Carter wouldn’t like Erica and her friends so much if he knew what horrible people they were. And that was when he had an idea. Smiling slyly, he got up and walked over to Erica and her friends. Erica was discussing about how Deena Rodgers looked like a toad. He scoffed. At least Deena wasn’t a bitch like her. “Hey, Erica.†He forced, trying to put on the best smile. “Um…hi.†She said, shifting her glance towards Nicole who shrugged. “What do you want?†“I want to talk to you about Savannah and Carter.†He said, hardly containing his laugh inside. “Okay…†she ventured, narrowing her amber eyes at him. “Are you and Savannah friends?†“No, why? She’s weird.†Score one for me! He thought “Because she’s my friend and I want to know why you were saying so much shit to her on Facebook last night.†“Because Nicole is dating Carter and she needs to get over him.†She snapped. “Right, Nicole.†Nicole frowned at Justin. “What’s it to you, you’re a loser.†“I guess you’re only nice to Savannah because she’s on your ‘popularity’ level.†He said, putting air quotes around “popularityâ€. “I feel sorry for how pathetic she is.†Nicole said smugly. “Hey, Geoffrey.†He turned his attention to Geoffrey. “Didn’t Carter and Savannah make a cute couple?†Geoffrey laughed as if Justin had just said the most funniest thing in the world. “No, way. They’re like mismatched socks. They’re not the idea couple like him and Nicole.†Gotcha, you bigoted asshole! He thought satisfyingly. “See ya!†he shouted, darting out of the gym. He laughed to himself. Geoffrey was a racist, Nicole was a total bitch, and Erica was a racist. Wait until he told Savannah about his little meeting with the three dumbest people in the universe.

A few points of constructive criticism, please don't take this personally, it's just what I observe as a writer myself. To be honest, it sounds very immature (or was that what you were trying to capture, a high school feeling?). It feels as if you are introducing characters a little too fast, take the time to flesh out one character before moving on to the next. It gets confusing very early on about who you're talking about, who likes who, and who acts a certain way. Take it easy, no one ever complains about getting a full character, even if they may seem inconsequential. It might be beneficial to place the setting before jumping straight into the dialogue. I didn't realize until the end of your writing that the people were even in a gym. It was almost jarring because I had pictured them standing outside, eating lunch or something. Also, there are some issues with use of quotation marks and punctuation inside and outside of the quotes, as well as with speaker tags (who is saying what) and capitalization after quotation marks. The links at the bottom of my answer may be of use. Also, if you are going to use swear words in your story, might as well write them, or use different words. The *** is distracting as the reader is left trying to figure out what word you were actually meaning. All in all, a good effort. Keep writing, and you'll soon find that your style will find itself, and that it will come easily and in a less contrived fashion. Good luck! The links below might help you, check them out.

firstly, this is my opinion = please don't get put off writing or take anything i say offensively you should introduce your characters a little slower as i had to keep scrolling to the top to check who you were talking about. can you use an adjective other then "shitty" as that doesn't really give alot away e.g cunning, condecending, self rghteous - things like that also i'm probz wron here (at least i hope i am) but it sounds like you know people like this and are getting at them in -- again i'm probably wrong so sorry if i am also, all your "bad" charachters seem to be racist - mix the traits up a bit hope this helps :D

It does sound a bit immature, that's true. Also, the characters seem to be introduced way too early into the story --- it's hard for the reader to picture what exactly is going on when they don't know who is what is when or why. Other than that, keep working on it and you'll do great! Hope I helped, but if I didn't then hope you get your best answer soon!

What do you think of this story?
What do you think of this story?
 Savannah and her friends emerged to the Glendale Mall examining mannequins in the display windows. Carter and the other boys had wondered off to wherever they went to. It was just Savannah and the girls. Savannah had discussed song ideas to Palma on the way to the mall. Palma suggested that they should sing some of Savannah's personal songs, but Savannah politely refused. She was too awkward to belt out the lyrics from her sappy love songs. After a few begs and pleads from Palma, she finally gave in. "Okay, maybe." Savannah said noncommittally. "I'm not making any promises." "That's good enough." responded Palma. A few teenagers from Savannah's school stopped to stare at Savannah and Palma as if they were celebrities. Holly, Elisha, and Reese just simply ignored the girls as they walked into Wet Seal. Savannah didn't know how they did it. Why was it that her and Palma were the only girls who got excited when people noticed them? Were they so unaccustomed to popularity that they had to smile every time someone looked up to them. Savannah remembered that Ghazal girl she had met at the football game the other night. She was so nice to Savannah that she had thought it was a joke. As if Ghazal was just pulling her leg. But it was real. Savannah was like an idol to her. She was flattered by Ghazal's fascination with her. In the store, dresses and thin shirts displayed on the clearance rack while the new and fresh winter clothes displayed at the front of the store. Immediately, an Irish-green, cable-knit sweater with navy pinstriped sleeves and collar caught her attention. It was absolutely beautiful. Walking up to it, she traced her fingers on the soft fabric. Suddenly her eyes grew wide with disappointment. Forty Dollars. She only had twenty-five dollars in her pocket and a few change. "Great." she grumbled. Walking around the store, she found more tops that were in her price range. But she only had enough money for one or two tops. She finally settled on a black, purple, and navy sweater-vest and two pairs of fleecy underwear. Reese walked up to her with piles of clothes in her hand. Her hair was disheveled from when she had jogged that morning and her caramel eyes were flashing with delight. "Hey!" she trilled, putting her clothes next to Savannah. "Is that all you're buying?" "I don't have enough money." Reese scoffed, walking back to the place where Savannah had idolized the green top. She simply plucked the top off of its rack and brought it back to her. Savannah just shook her head. She didn't want her friends to buy this stuff for her. Who did they think they were? Bill Gates? Just buying each other all kinds of gifts like Santa Clause passing out candy canes? It was insane. It was unconventional. It was high school teenagers who were privileged in small town Indiana. It was December 1 with Christmas just around the corner. Savannah guessed she could consider Reese's token as an early Christmas gift.  When the lady handed the bag back to her, she gave Savannah a knowing smile. She probably wished she had a friend to buy her things whenever she felt like it. Outside of the mall, Holly and Elisha were both chattering away on their phones. Deciding to check her Facebook, Savannah snatched her cellphone from her bag. She flipped through her Favorites before clicking on the Facebook logo. At the speed of light, the website popped up with her email and password saved into the site's login. Usually, there were about a dozen of new messages from her usual friends, but there were only a couple of them. Then suddenly, her eyes traveled towards a topic that made her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. On Andy's wall, it featuring him and Heather Gleason talking. Heather had posted an early message from Andy on his wall. Heather Gleason: Competition: Mud Wrestling Holly Vrs. Lettie Place: Andy's basement Time: 5:45 August 14 Andy Simms: haha good times Savannah laughed. It was probably just a humorous inside joke. But just to be on the safe side she asked Holly about it. Holly laughed so loud that people stopped to see where the noise was coming from. "Oh, yeah!" Elisha grinned. "I remember that day. The whole floor was messy." Savannah gawked at them. What they were telling her was bizarre. Holly and Lettie actually did things like that? Savannah wondered what other weird and perverse things her friends did. She shook her head, chuckling to herself.  By four o'clock, they were at Holly's house. Savannah stood on the platform in Holly's basement with microphone gripped to her hand. She and Palma needed to practice for singing competition the school was having in a couple of weeks. The first song they were singing was "Just Be Good To Me" by SOS Band. "Friends...!" belted Savannah as the instrumental version song

Can criticizing the boss on Facebook get you fired?
Can criticizing the boss on Facebook get you fired?
Information may want to be free, as the old Internet adage goes--but how far does such freedom extend when it comes to criticizing your boss on social media platforms? That's the question that the National Labor Relations Board is putting before an administrative law court. NLRB lawyers are contending that a Connecticut-based ambulance service illegally fired an emergency medical technician after she criticized her supervisor on Facebook, the New York Times reports. The case could have broad implications for workers' speech rights as applied to social media. [Related: Six things you should never reveal on Facebook] According to the complaint, Dawnmarie Souza was fired after using vulgarities to ridicule her supervisor in a Facebook post. Souza also wrote, using the company's terminology for a psychiatric patient: "Love how the company allows a 17 to become a supervisor." Souza and the supervisor had clashed after the supervisor would not let a union representative help her to prepare a response to a customer's complaint about her work. The company, American Medical Response, says it has a policy that bars employees from depicting the company on Facebook and other social media sites on which they post pictures of themselves. The NLRB argues that the rule is overly broad--and that the firing of Souza violates the National Labor Relations Act, which, among other things, prohibits employers from punishing workers for discussing working conditions or unionization. The complaint notes that the comments triggered supportive responses from Souza's co-workers, as well as additional negative comments about the supervisor. "This is a fairly straightforward case under the National Labor Relations Act," a lawyer for the NLRB told the Times. "Whether it takes place on Facebook or at the water cooler, it was employees talking jointly about working conditions, in this case about their supervisor, and they have a right to do that." But American Medical Response said the firing was proper. "The employee in question was discharged based on multiple, serious complaints about her behavior," the company said in a statement. "The employee was also held accountable for negative personal attacks against a co-worker posted publicly on Facebook. The company believes that the offensive statements made against the co-workers were not concerted activity protected under federal law." An administrative law judge will begin hearing the case Jan. 25.

I don't know if you're asking this as a poll or simply to know how we think of the topic. Anyway, I think you can be sued anywhere on the Web, be it Facebook or not, if you do these things: 1. Libel 2. Copyright Infringement 3. Privacy Violations 4. Harassment 5. Breach of Contract It seems that the case falls under item No.1 so I guess, there is a chance that the boss will win the case. This is my opinion though. I think, people forget proper netiquette these days like the 2nd source below.

Honestly, I think she should get fired. I think one of the biggest misconceptions about facebook is that it is private. In no way is facebook anyway similar to a water cooler. Did you know that almost everyone on facebook is connected with one another in less than 7 degrees of separation? That is what makes websites like facebook so valuable to companies for marketing. They can post something on facebook and it could spread like wild fire across the web for little or no money. The same thing can happen to an individuals wall posts in theory. Facebook should not be thought of as a private profile that only your friends can see. Sure it is a great way to keep track of your personal friends but in many ways it is not private. In all reality it is a public blog of sorts. Would it have been worse if she went out on a public news blog and made those statement? Employees need to be aware of the impact they can have for the companies they work for by making negative statements and I truly believe that if you are a business owner you should train your employees how to act when talking about there employer so you don't cause a PR nightmare like this one.

Could someone help me with this myth/legend?
Could someone help me with this myth/legend?
I watch the Marblehornets videos on youtube, and I joined a facebook group discussing the different characters and who they are. One of the characters is called Slenderman, and he is a very tall man dressed in a suit and tie. Where his face should be there is just blank, empty skin. He isn't real, of course. These videos are made for entertainment. But someone left a comment on that facebook page that said, "I think the Slenderman myth is based on one of several inter-dimensional beings that came through a rift in central Connecticut a few hundred years back. The rift itself is on heavily guarded land now." I thought this sounded very interesting, and I tried to google it to read more about this rift and what supposedly came out of it, but couldn't find anything. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about it or give me some keywords or maybe even the name of the rift so I could search for it and read about it. Or even if you know any information about this and would like to share it with me that would be awesome. Thank you! *I went to this person's page to send them a message asking them about it, but they have a note on their info section saying that they won't be able to get back on facebook until September.

Why don't you ask the person who made the comment? Surely they would know where to get more information about it.

But someone left a comment on that facebook page that said, "I think the Slenderman myth is based on one of several inter-dimensional beings that came through a rift in central Connecticut a few hundred years back. The rift itself is on heavily guarded land now." I thought this sounded very interesting, and I tried to google it to read more about this rift and what supposedly came out of it, but couldn't find anything. I was wondering if anyone could tell me more about it or give me some keywords or maybe even the name of the rift so I could search for it and read about it. Or even if you know any information about this and would like to share it with me that would be awesome. Thank you! *I went to this person's page to send them a message asking them about it, but they have a note on their info section saying that they won't be able to get back on facebook until September.

Why don't you ask the person who made the comment? Surely they would know where to get more information about it.

I watch the Marblehornets videos on youtube, and I joined a facebook group discussing the different characters and who they are.

its possible you wont find anything about the rift, because there are still people that dont believe in paranormal occurences, and dismiss it as fantasy or psychosis.

There are many rifts and vortexes that have appeared and closed throughout the years. The Slenderman is actually based on a spirit that was said to haunt a light house in Conn. He was a tall man skeletal in shape and had a blank face. As the story goes if you saw his true face you died soon after. I am not sure how true this is but I have heard the story.

Why was this teacher suspended?
Why was this teacher suspended?
Old news yeah but I just found it and am a bit concerned.. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2010/02/16/1250606/facebook-venting-ensnares-teacher.html Reading the -entire- article you can see that the teacher was clearly the victim here. She is teaching science not mythology. She did nothing wrong. Being harassed can drive anyone insane. Teachers are no less human than any of us and everyone has a breaking point. Those brainwashed hellions drove her up the walls and should be expelled for mental abuse of a public servant. They clearly were forcing their beliefs on her, not much different from any other incident in history, for example, the Salem Witch Trials, the Spanish Inquisition, and other atrocious events in human history. I encourage anyone who experiences such oppression to alert the proper authorities if applicable and request that action be taken to prevent such an incident again. The teacher should not suffer any penalty in my humble opinion. Perhaps sending them to the office for asking about 'gods' role in evolution was a bit much but that can easily be addressed without firing/suspending her. The kids should be suspended and reassigned to another teacher, or they should be expelled. This sort of abuse is often overlooked because it is minors harassing an adult. But anyone can be abused by anyone. It is a fact. Age should not be a reason for special privileges if said offender has a rational level of thought and action. These children clearly do. All religions should have the same limitations. Telling others about your faith is one thing, oppressing them into conversion is another, and should be put to a stop wherever, whenever, it occurs, regardless of the faith in question. Religion should be kept entirely out of schools unless you are attending the proper class. Mythology or any other class that discusses myths/legends/fairy tales are a different story. NOTE: I am speaking from my own views based on FACTS and things that are tangible. I have read physical evidence that states that this occurrence has happened. Quoting unproven scripture from unproven cults is not going to answer my question. My information is based on logic, not unproven stories/teachings from mythological figures. Please refrain from dogmatic preaching. I do not want or need it. If you have an answer that is based on non religious logic/reasoning and is on topic, I highly anticipate your answer, She was -not- discriminating. You are a biased christian yourself! Read the thing and you will see that yes, she may have mad a few mistakes, but she was being harassed. Think about it logically. Breaking points. We have them. Continuous harassment causes such points to be breached, as is the case her. You do not have the religious right to continually harass someone. That is unethical, regardless of what your god tells you. And what she says on her facebook, out of school, on her -own- time is her business and should not be grounds for termination. Since when do the rules of a single establishment apply to its employees personal opinions and views when they are expressed during off duty hours and off of school grounds? It's ridiculous!

No the teacher deserves to get fired. The kids have a freedom to religion and she said she treats them differently and went into detail about it. That is religious discrimination. Further more she was belittle the kids and judging them by their families political opinions. I bet if you look deep into this one she unfairly down graded christian/conservative kids grades. Souly because of that. The teacher a religious bigot.
4 :
As a science teacher at the high school level, I understand the ignorance of some parents and students. However, you should never talk about your students on a public Facebook page. Period. That is just plain stupid.
5 :
Those students were blatantly teasing and antagonizing her just because she isn't religious, and were disrupting the class with their hymn singing. Questions about God and "creation" have no place in a science class, and I could understand her getting annoyed when they kept putting Bibles on her desk. She had every right to discipline those little turds. Unfortunately, the Christians in the American south can pretty much get away with such religious harassment.
