Over the Line?
Ok so MTV has this new thing out now! It's called A THIN LINE. They're main question is: Are you Over the Line? They deal with multiple innappropriate acts. Sexting, Constant Messaging, Spying, Digital Dicrespect, and Cruelty are some of the things they cover extensively. They start with telling you what each thing is. They then do a Q&A with popular question and the correct answers to them. Next they make sure you know the consequences of talked-about action. Last, and maybe most important, they tell you how to Draw Your Line! They tell you how to use refusal skills and how to make the things from happening in many really good ways. They even give real-life examples!! And all of that is just ONE section of the site, called get the facts. The next section is called take control. They tell you how to get help, defend your digital domain, deal with it, support others, be part of the solution, and spread the word. And they tell you how to go about doing each. In the next section it allows you to read stories from others and post your own story for the benifet and help of others. The section after that is almost the same thing except there is a twist. Insteed of posting things that you know are over the line, you post things that you are unsure wethor or not are over the line and let other people vote and tell you wether it is or not! It's really a nice thing to have. Also in that section, which is intitled draw your line, is the Digital Rights Project which is trying to do everything to fix what A THIN LINE stands for and make them no longer problems. And last you have a blog. In the blog section you can see everything that is happening to fix the problems and the publicity that A THIN LINE is getting. You should really check out the site and try to help them out! Maybe even share your own story!! So get out there and do something!!! Here is the link: http://www.athinline.org/
