At first, I saw that it was called No Cinderella Story - so I was interest. Then I realized it was all about sex so I almost turned it off. But then I realized that it was so true. Sex to young people is nothing anymore and there are more and more middle school and high school girls that become pregnant and are usually unfit for the pregnancy of motherhood.
Another part of this video talks about how instead of just hanging out, kids are drinking, smoking, and then having sex.
2.What did you learn from the digital story?
I have learned that they have sex because they are bored. Also - they drink and smoke; therefore, they want to have sex. Another great thing that these kids said was that because their parents were divorced. They feel that that has an influence on their decisions.
3.What surprised you about the digital story?
It did not surprise me so much that young kids are having sex; however, I learned that kids do know that they are either in the wrong or that they need to calm down. Instead of thinking that there is no romance in the world - they are realizing that they need to trust romance and love and not just have sex to get a 'name' for themselves.
4.How did the digital story provide an example of how digital storytelling can build self esteem, help young people voice an opposition to social problems, or create an alternative to stereotypes of adolescents typically portrayed in mainstream media?
I loved this video because not only are some of the kids reaching out and saying what is on their minds, but other kids can see this and know that sex is not something that needs tossed around. They need to know that there is time for that and the time is not now. I also feel that it went along with the stereotypes; however, they can see that they need to wizen up about this topic. Kids need to be kids and not hurry up to be adults. I liked that the digital stories were informal and I enjoyed the videos that I watched.
