The girl should of thinked if it is appropriate to upload her picture online. Her classmates saw her photo and they spread her photo all around the school. She couldn't take the picture no matter how she tried.
X
Once you post a picture online you can never take it back because it doesn't belong to her it belongs to the internet. No matter how she tried everyone can see her photo family, friends.

After some time, the talk wanders from music to other topics. Kaylee and HipHopMike begin to flirt.
HipHopMike says, “What do you look like?” “I’m cute,” replies Kaylee.
“Well, what color is your hair?” HipHopMike responds. Kaylee answers, “Light brown. I wear it in a ponytail with longish bangs.” A few minutes later, HipHopMike asks, “Wanna cyber?” Kaylee begins to feel uncomfortable. She knows that to cyber means to have a more private conversation over a computer network such as My Space, Bebo etc. Soon HipHopMike says, “I’ve got to go. My friend from university just arrived.” Kaylee gets a sick feeling in her stomach.

Indigenous people in Guatemala live in the mountainous regions for several reasons:
1. Historical Settlement: Many indigenous communities have a long history of living in the mountains, dating back to pre-Columbian times. These regions provided natural barriers and defensive advantages against foreign invasions and colonization.
2. Traditional Agriculture: The mountainous terrain often offers fertile soil and suitable climate for agriculture. Indigenous communities have developed farming practices adapted to these conditions, cultivating crops such as maize, beans, and potatoes. The mountainous regions also provide access to freshwater sources for irrigation.
3. Natural Resources: Mountains often contain valuable natural resources such as minerals, forests, and water sources. Indigenous communities have relied on these resources for sustenance, trade, and cultural practices for generations.
4. Cultural Preservation: Living in remote mountainous regions has allowed indigenous communities to maintain their distinct cultural practices, traditions, and languages. The isolation provided by mountains helps protect their cultural autonomy from outside influences.
5. Spiritual and Sacred Sites: Mountains hold significant spiritual and sacred value for many indigenous cultures. These regions are often believed to be inhabited by deities and ancestral spirits. Living in proximity to these sites is crucial for maintaining religious and spiritual practices.
To delve further into this topic and get a comprehensive understanding, one can conduct research through various sources like academic papers, books, and documentary films to comprehend the specific historical, cultural, and geographical context of indigenous communities in Guatemala.
