How To Be A Leader!

How to be a leader

If you want to be an inspiration for others, if you want to
be a great leader and role model, than follow these 3 great
steps. Leaders are loyal, respectful and responsible role
models to others. It is hard work to become a leader. It
takes time for others to copy a leader as an inspiration.

Firstly you have to be loyal. Loyal is one of the
characteristics that a leader should have. To be loyal you
have be trustworthy, be helpful and show support to
others. For example when you see someone who is in need
of help, you help them out.

Secondly, respectful. Respectful is an obligation that is
required for a leader to have otherwise, has to. A
respectful leader shows active listening, patience and
encouragement.

Thirdly, is the most important job, responsibility. You
cannot be a leader without responsibility. To be
responsible
you have to do things carefully and positively. An act of
responsibility can be acted when someone is doing the
wrong thing and someone tells them to do the write thing
instead.

3 of these roles are very important obligations that a leader
should have. Having an act of loyal, respectful and
responsible attitudes in one are called being a leader.

Poem - Baby blue

Baby blue, as light as the sky, even a shade of a cry. Baby blue looking new, nicely set unto you. The colour of the Hydrangeas that are so nice and blue, as it reminds me of the big bright clues. As we all look into your eyes, we see the reflection of the bright baby blue sky. Watch the blue jays as they spread their wings, flapping them softly as they sing. Hear the baby blue coloured drops dripping from the sky, feel them slowly dropping onto your mind.

Should Facebook be more vigilant in checking that it’s users are over the age of 13?

Should Facebook be more vigilant in checking that it’s users are over the age of 13? 

1. Chance - I don’t really think there is anything wrong with having Facebook if your under aged. My reason to this is that Facebook actually checks your personal account and they give private reasons of friend requests. Being under aged on a social media account can also be supervised from your parents as well, they can check up on what you are doing. You can get requests from family and people you know but you may need to check with them since there are some people that catfish these days.

2. Pauline - No, Facebook should not be constantly checking if people’s account is over the age of 13. I say this because how will Facebook know for sure if all the accounts are over the age of 13. Some parent’s Facebook accounts appear to look like it is a child but actually it is not. If Facebook constantly checked its users, than there would be a high possibility of Facebook going too far with people’s privacy.

3. Amira - If Facebook is checking someone's account and then Facebook gets hacked the hacker can see everything about the person on his or her account. If the person gets a friend request from a stranger that’s a hacker, if they agree the hacker can see everything even if its a private account. What if an adult has made an account and have their profile picture is of their child or them when they were young and Facebook checks there account, it bans them from Facebook so he or she can’t connect to it.

4. Troy- Under aged kids should be allowed to go on Facebook but they should be supervised by their Parent or Caregiver and they should only friend their family.
