Things around here are quickly escalating and getting out of hands. Honestly, I'm surprised the Professors haven't insisted we give up these journals due to the amount of disrespect and derogative language used on a daily basis. Of course, the positives outweigh the negatives; they're great tools for speaking to each other when we all can't be in the same place, so I suppose that's their reasoning behind letting us keep them for now. Either way, I'd advise everyone to use more caution with what is said ~~and viewable~~ so publicly because anyone can read it.

While Ginny and I might be really great friends, there are some things that are extremely awkward to discuss. Harry's sex life (or lack thereof), for example. It's just weird hearing about how he doesn't care to do anything while here at Hogwarts yet Ginny does. While I do know that they're sharing the same bed, hearing such intrinsic details about one of my closest friends just doesn't seem to settle very well.

Perhaps I might have to eventually suggest having the same agreement as Ron and Harry - strictly no relationship details ever. Of course, there are time when I'll likely need her advice since Ginny obviously has more experience, but then it's incredibly awkward because she's with Harry and I'm with Ron, her brother. I'm sure she'd just love to hear any sorts of details I might have in the future about him.

Maybe there's a medium. Where neither of us go into a whole lot of detail, but just brush the surface so the other can get the general idea? I'll have to think on it for awhile. Though maybe not at all since this really is the only time she's brought it up...

Do you think there needs to be a Prefects meeting before the end of term and everyone goes home?

	Wouldn't that be an issue of taking away free speech? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Students made the same argument when WWW products were banned as well. And this is a school, so the question of whether or not they're conductive to learning would come up if it ever got to that point. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well no offense to the Weasley's but WWW products are generally mischievous tools for rebellion. These journal are hardly that - if anything it's a communicative tool that's hardly hurting anyone. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Unless things get out of hand, I agree, which is what I've been saying all along. Though, just like in the corridors and the classrooms, and any public area in the school, a certain modicum of self-restraint should be used at all times when using certain choice words. Especially since the Professors are monitoring our conversations. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	So, when we're on holiday - does that mean staff will still be monitoring our actvitity then? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It's likely, especially since they already have access to our journals as it is. Though, I can't imagine them enforcing school rules for those of us who aren't at Hogwarts during our holidays. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Will you find out for sure? You know, for those of us...who might be at home and have access to certain things not available at school that could possibly alter our better judgement? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Of course! I'll see if any of the Professors know for sure whether they'll be monitoring our journals during Christmas. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Thank you, Head Girl Miss Lady Ma'am! (Reply to this)(Parent)
