　　A four-year-old girl is lying in the arms of a doctor. She has just become motherless. The bombing destroyed her home and killed her mother.

　　Every day we see pictures like this on TVs or in newspapers. We see young Iraqi children begging for food and water from American and British soldiers as they move through towns and cities towards the capital, Baghdad, we see these children following grown-ups, carrying bags of things almost at the same size as their small bodies as they flee their homes in Baghdad.

　　“Dad, why are the Americans striking us? Are we going to be killed?” asks the son of Abu Sinar, an Iraqi engineer, Abu finds it hard to explain this war to his eight-year-old son. He tries to comfort him by saying, “The bombs are far away from us. The Americans are fighting the soldiers. We are going to be all right.” Even though Abu knows this isn't always the truth. But what else can he do? In Baghdad, parents give their children sleeping pills to make them sleep so that they won't hear the sound of bombing. And all the schools are closed.

　　“All we can do is to listen to and hear the war,” said Abu. “We, all the people and the children, have to live in fear, we feel hopeless and helpless. We don't know where the next bombs are going. We can do nothing but wait to be killed.”

What’s a blog? A blog is a personal online diary(日记). It’s cool, it’s hot, and everyone is doing it. People talk about it often. Sound like a fashion? In fact, It’s another trend (流行趋势). And the word “blogger” means a person who writes diaries online. Are you a blogger?　　

Many bloggers are teenagers who log (进入) onto websites to discuss anything in their lives. Many of today’s teenagers are not afraid to openly discuss everything in their lives. Teenagers complain about their parents and homework. They share diaries, post(发布) songs from the latest bands and show pictures of theirs. They write their own poems, say something about their girlfriends or boyfriends and complain to each other or offer support. But mostly they just write down what they do every day.　　

However, many parents are worried about these young bloggers. Parents see the kids talking about how they got drunk last weekend and how they don’t like studying. They are using the language that is surprising to their parents. Besides hearing from their friends, teen bloggers also get messages from strangers. Most of the time, it’s older men asking to meet teenage girls. “These strange men are dangerous for my kids. They sometimes teach my kids bad words.” said Cara Cabral, a mother of two children.　　

Many teenagers and young adults know it’s not safe to use blogs on the Internet. They know they are putting information about themselves in a place where it can be seen by anyone.
