His plan was to soak a basketball in gasoline, set it on fire, and sink a perfect three-pointer. He would film the glorious scene and post the video on YouTube. He dreamed of being an Internet celebrity.
Unfortunately, the plan didn’t work out quite as he imagined. As he took his shot, his clothing burst into flames. He was rushed to the hospital with second- and third-degree burns on his chest and legs. He survived, but he’ll have the scars forever¨(O'Neill 41).

Is YouTube to blame?

It is, in fact, the boss of you. As the diagram at right shows, there are many parts to the brain, and each has a different function--bossy functions. In fact, the brain is the only organ that has localization, explains Dr. Nancy L. Kuntz, a consultant in child and adolescent neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn; one specific part controls movement, another helps decode vision, and so on.

Psychologist Dr Clare Wilson, also of the University of Portsmouth, said: “Although this is a pilot study, these findings are fascinating.


“Facebook is marketed as a means of communicating with others. Yet this research shows we are more likely to use it to connect with our past selves, perhaps when our present selves need reassuring.


“The pictures we often post are reminders of a positive past event. When in the grip of a negative mood, it is too easy to forget how good we often feel. Our positive posts can remind us of this.”

But there’s a problem with this logic that most teens don’t quite get. That is, no matter how small the risk, the worst possible thing can happen to you. ]]> 2016-05-03 19:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/sanof9254/w459xm8xnda2/wish/109073116 Yes jannino1836 https://padlet.com/sanof9254/w459xm8xnda2/wish/109073460 Others have told me that they do limit their kids' computer play, or their total daily "screen time," in a tone that seemed to suggest that any reasonable parent would do that.
