Teaching Kids How to Break Up Nicely - NYTimes.com - 9 views

  • “Roberto, you’re really going to run all the way to your house after school to change your status?”
    • Dylan Matsuno
       
      Haha, Roberto is a funny guy! He seems to live a different life. I think he shouldn't use Facebook and instead, face reality!
  • others included “posting mean/embarrassing statuses about your ex” (unhealthy) and “rushing into a new ‘Facebook official’ relationship” (understandable, but still not healthy).
    • Dylan Matsuno
       
      Facebook doesn't make anything official. Just because you say you're in a relationship, it doesn't mean you are. There is no such thing is "Facebook official" relationships. Putting mean or embarrassing statuses is cyberbullying so people shouldn't do that. Couples should solve problems in "real life" because on on the internet, everyone can see those arguments.

The Power of Birth Order - TIME - 21 views

  • For families, none of this comes as a surprise.

      I know a family with 3 children. This seems to relate to them.
  • Studies in the Philippines show that later-born siblings tend to be shorter and weigh less than earlier-borns.
    • Dylan Matsuno
       
      I wonder what causes this. What makes a later born sibling smaller than a early born sibling?
  • Well, they can be a puzzle—even to researchers.
    • Dylan Matsuno
       
      That's funny cause everyone says that about my uncle. They say he's "different". He also happens to be the 2nd child out of 3 children!

Mark Moffett Ants | The 'Jane Goodall of ants' - Los Angeles Times - 45 views

  • The fungus is their food. It has their complete diet.

      I never knew animals went through slavery! It seems like animals have their own "world" like us humans. I bet they have their own language to communicate too. Seems like those tiny ants are pretty smart.
  • The swarm moves forward together.

  • Why does slavery exist in ant life?

      I would hate to live off of fungus. It seems like these ants might not have any taste buds. Fungus probably doesn't taste very good.

      I've seen ants walk in a group or in a line, but after reading this section I am very surprised. Ants are very smart creatures. It's amazing that ants have teamwork and they work together for mass hunting. I know that other animals gang up on their prey, but I'm amazed that ants do the same. I guess I just underestimated the ants because they are such tiny creatures. After reading this I learned that there actually is a brain in that tiny body. Ants are very smart for knowing to work as a team.
