<p>IGNORE MY "BE" IN THE TITLE</p>
<p>Thanks! Post your essay on the bottom</p>
<p>Should people make more of an effort to keep some things private? </p>
<p>Some things in life are meant to be kept private. Many times, actions should not be spread around, for the person or for others safety. Nowadays nothing is private and our culture has become too confessional. Presently, people think when one isn’t expressing their feelings, they must be doing something illegal. This belief can be repeated throughout literature, news, and experience. </p>
<p>In F. Scott Fitzgerald famous novel, The Great Gatsby, main character Mr. Gatsby is a recluse. He doesn’t talk to his neighbors, he does good deeds for everyone, and basically no one knows his life, personal history, or hobbies. For the narrator of the story, Nick Carraway, he tried to figure out this man through people, neighbors, etc. One night, Mr. Carraway was invited to a party hosted by Mr. Gatsby, where he met Jordan Baker. She and a bunch of her friends tried to come up with a reason for the actions of Mr. Gatsby. They accused him of being a murderer, victim, robber, etc. When readers continue on the story, they learn that Mr. Gatsby was an honest man and just like to keep things personal. As demonstrated by the names came up from Jordan and her friends, it is obvious that nowadays nothing is private, or else people accuse the loner as a malicious villain. </p>
<p>Another example can be found throughout mass media. A couple of weeks ago, there was a kid who posted on his facebook that he was going to vandalize. Whenever one posts a status on facebook, that status spreads around to all of his friends, to his friends of friends, and sooner or later, a police. Because the kid took a picture of his “YOLO” pose next to his car and the newly graffitied wall, he was immediately caught and arrested for damage of private property. Despite the fact that no one should ever commit the crime of vandalizing, it is even worse if one posts it across a public forum where millions of people can view it, not to mention report it. Therefore, people should make more effort in keeping some things private for your own well-being.</p>
<p>Many times throughout high school, people need to keep some things private fake the sake of others. For example, the topic of pregnancy, giving birth, etc is definitely something not everyone wants to hear. Once in my foreign language class, a girl in front of me was talking to her friend about her sexual life. Not only did they just discussed it, she also described in DETAIL, with plenty of adverbs and adjectives. It was so descriptive that one kid actually threw up. Our teenage culture has become so confessional and self-expressive that it’s actually disturbing to people. Therefore, it was be considerate not only for yourself, but also for others around you.</p>
<p>Our society has emphasized too much about confessions and admittance. However, the public must keep some things private. Keeping certain topics can prevent for yourself as demonstrated by the facebook news. Keeping other topics can prevent someone puking all over a classroom floor. People need to stop being so judgemental just because someone may be a quiet introvert. As shown from literature, news media, and experience, people need to make more of an effort to keep some things private.</p>
