Wattpad


Wattpad is a great website. It is a place to write and read stories and allow you to share yours and get it out there. It is a very popular site and if your story gets popular enough it can sometimes get published. Like by a publishing company and printed and put in libraries. There are several people to who this happens to and if this happens your story gets a little medal next to the title.
However, guess what. The school blocks this website on the Chromebooks. Why I don't understand. It is not a social media site. It is simply something to write and share. If anything that would be educational.
Now yes there can be inappropriate content, but that goes for any website. For Christ's sake, Twitter is unblocked on the Chromebooks. I promise you, probably nothing can be as bad as Twitter. I used to have Twitter on my phone, but after a while, I got tired of seeing all of the fake news and just horrible things put on there and deleted it. So if I the teenager using these Chromebooks feel as if Twitter the site that all the teachers threw a fit to get unblocked is a terrible site, I really don't see why Wattpad is all that bad for us to use.
Now another site that I use on the Chromebooks is Quotev.
 This site has been blocked and unblocked many times. It's currently unblocked as of September 18, but last year at the end of the year, I know it was blocked.
It's kinda like Wattpad, but not. It's more like Wattpad's younger sibling that doesn't get enough attention. Many stories go unfinished because it's not as popular and people get discouraged and lose interest. People make posts saying "If this doesn't get *Insert number* like I'm going to delete my account" or something along those lines. So of course after a while that gets pretty annoying.
I think Wattpad should just be unblocked, however, seeing as it is a great website.
