Baby names are essential to everyone out there, naming their kid or naming their dog even, but what names should you AVOID? I'd say that the names to avoid are the most popular ones, because everyone is nameing their childrent that, obviously, I mean the name is popular! So, Personally I wouldn't name my child jacob or Isabell because those names were at the top of the list of popular names in 2009.

The Video Game age- Kids and their video games
http://steve-olson.com/are-video-games-bad-for-kids-a-personal-story/
The child of the parent writing the artical obsessed over many things that were GOOD, but when he got a video game, he obsessed over that, and thats something thats not good to obsess over.
Today it seems like every kid will throw a fit if they don't get the new "halo" game or whatever else. And their parents give it to them, just get it for them, almost no resistence at all. But if a parent were to get the game for them the kid will spend more time playing the game then doing homework, they won't even pay attention to doing the homework well, they'll do the homework as fast as they can, make many mistakes just so they can play their game. so their grades will go down, plus they won't do chores or go to bed when they're supposed to because they're caught up in the game. so what do you do? get them a game, but limit the time they're alloweed to use it. thats MY stance!!!

Technology generation: Cell Phones
http://www.ehow.com/facts_5421745_pros-teens-having-cell-phones.html
I believe that Cell Phones are a neccesary part in almost anybody's life. as the site above puts it, Cell phones are good, especially when a teen begins driving, for the teen to be able to call home in case they need help or just need to check in and let the adult know that they're ok. but this site also mentions that teens could use they're time texting or talking instead of doing homework, chores or something more worth their time. Because teens love to text or talk when bored or don't want to do something the cell phone will be very tempting instead of homework. Also this site mentions the cost of a cell phone. Teens don't tend to care how much they text or talk because they aren't the ones paying for it, so they might send 1000 texts over what they're supposed to and talk for three hours longer then they should and they won't care, they aren't paying for it, so why should they? I believe that Cell Phones are good and usefull but should be used less and used with more responsibility.
