bean_boy observations......... 1. Kids (and adults) these days rely too much on the use of iPhones . Stop. Enjoy your surroundings. PULL YOURSELF OUT OF THE VIRTUAL WORLD. 2. Lots of bullying happens on the Web, report and tell your guardians. It's for your own good. 3. Dogo is a "Knowledge-gaining/based" website not social media like instagram. Stop begging for followers. People follow you if they enjoy your content, not because you keep asking. Question-Do you really need a iPhone? I don't have one and I enjoy life as it is. Boom, Bing, Bam. From up North it's ya daily dose of bean_boy! (PS I haven't been on for a while because of school- Gr. 8 is busy)

Story of my life..I have a phone but only use it once in awhile, and now when I have friends over, there phones are the #1 thing they bring...If I ask them something "Thats fine" is the only answer I get..I wish they would interact w/ the real world instead of posting every pic they find on snapchat or something

I agree 8th grade is very demanding in the homework department!! lol im drowning in work as we speak! :)

I agree with all of this, I recently got my phone last year and have barely used it, so honestly I don't see why everyone needs it so much if most could live without it

That's a good point. My friends are constantly on their phones and it's kind of irritating for me because I rarely use my own iPhone. That is just not what is important to me. I'd much rather spend time with my friends than on my phone!

I don't have a phone, but all of my friends are constantly on it when they come over to my house. We went downstairs for a party in my room, and they didn't even look up from their phones! I totally hear you!

Very nice observations @bean_boy!

OMIGOSH U R BACK!!! Heyo! Awesome hearing from you!!! 1: Yes I agree exactly! I don't have a phone and I am only allowed a certain amount of non-homework time on my computer. Being outdoors and also indoors but without tech is great! 2: I agree! 3: That is a good point. I hope that the people following me are following me for what I say not because I asked (I don't think I asked....) Also same here! I found other stuff that takes up a lot of my time-mostly honor bands, drawing, and BOOKS! Once again, nice hearing from ya bean_boy! (IKR I'm also in 8th grade but for me it's not as busy as it sounds like for other people...)

Watching The Sound of Music right now! I love this movie! Also, please pray for us in California who have been affected by the fires. Luckily there is no fire in my town but the smoke is so bad that we can't even go outside.

Your in california? Omg I'm so so sorry...my aunt lives there, praying for all

I love that movie too! Stay safe, the news about California has looked horrible!

I love that movie! Also, my family and I have been praying. It's so sad. I'm so sorry! We wish we could do something to help. We are up to date on the fires. Take care! Make sure to get out when you're supposed to GET OUT!

Thank you! The smoke is passing, and today it rained in my town so I think that helped get it out of the air.

That's great news! I hope the situation keeps getting better!

Hey @bookstory13, do you know how to get the badge for 1st comment on article? It seems as if EVERYONE comments the article before me..

You have to be on when they first put up the article! Then comment right away!! Don't take time to read the article!! Say something like 'great'!! I got second comment once, but I was just plain old lucky!!

You just have to keep trying! It's all really luck....

Just be there at the right time. You have to be lucky. If you are on right when the writers post, you get it!

On a Sunday/Saturday, make sure to check first thing in the morning and once every hour, or if you are online doing homework, refresh every couple of minutes. Also, check before you go to bed and check right after you get home from school. It should work eventually! I had to wait a while...good luck!
