Nobody remotely relevant to any of you.

Fortunately, disagreement is healthy, and you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. That said, this is a public forum for discussion, and you ought to provide some sort of reasoning why you might disagree with a journalist's view. Additionally, profanely responding to someone else giving their opinion doesn't really promote...

Katie, for some reason while reading this story I was nervous the whole time that Nova was going to lose Bear. At the end, I thought perhaps Daddy was going to throw Bear away. You really had me captivated! Also, I think Bear is a great name (I had a...

Tess, this is a great article to highlight the gender inequality gap. I really don't like when people limit "the gender gap" to differences in wages, because it shows just how much of a blind eye we turn to other societal problems. My question is, where do you think this...

Miguel, this is a super cool topic. Our names are this thing we take for granted all the time. They are literally a permanent tag by which we will be known forever and we don't even choose them. There's an interesting theory in the world that your name actually defines...

Zoe, This topic is very interesting. I had a few questions, though. How come, since ADHD is not curable, it is so much more common in kids than it is in adults? Is it because adults have a lower rate of diagnosis even if they have it? It's strange....

Christy, I should read this book! It sounds like Victor Rios has been through his fair share of hardships, for sure. I just came back from the Bay Area this weekend! It is interesting the contrast between the Berkeley area and the Oakland area. It almost felt like there was...

Billy, This is a crazy and scary topic. You have a host of good evidence here, and it's going to be a really good essay in the end. My question for you is, since this is an argumentative essay, when do you think the human race, and do you think...

Tyler, I really liked this video, because I really hadn't put much thought into Philadelphia as a gun-violence-ridden city. I suppose when I hear urban gun violence my first thought is always Detroit or Chicago. I think if you continue to work on this project, you should see what people...

Luz, I like your piece, because it demonstrates how impossible it is to have a dystopian society without people wishing to rebel. Winston is certainly one of them, but he obviously is not the only one. Do you think this kind of society, one in which everyone is secretly hoping...

Noah, You are absolutely right! There is an enormous up-front cost, but do keep in mind that this cost is being paid not by the government, whose infrastructure budget is far too low to ever make an alternative energy takeover a reality, but by the energy corporations themselves, whose wallet...

Chidiogo, I liked this piece a lot, because it is well-developed and questions the moral implications of one of the most widely questioned legal things in the United States. In my English class we are currently reading Dead Man Walking, a non-fiction account of Sister Helen Prejean's spiritual advisory to...

Bobby, I find this piece interesting, particularly because of how easy you mention it is to change. As someone who has not had to battle with obesity, but from an outsider's perspective, I've never seen it this way. I feel like the general perspective on obesity from someone who is...

Hi Zoe, This piece is fantastic for highlighting this problem. I really appreciate that you are trying to raise the issue into the light a little bit, because I completely agree that it is totally overlooked. It is particularly striking when you say "they handed me a prescription for Percocet...

Hello Aurora, Firstly, thanks for sharing! This can be super difficult, especially when you're vulnerable, like on the internet. Nonetheless, your courage to demonstrate yourself to the world is awesome, and I want to congratulate you for that. It's so unfortunate that many people don't have an easy-going experience when...

Hi Chloe - I really like this topic because it is so weird to think about. In contrast to earlier generations, we really are so reliant on online communication for day-to-day interaction. We all use it to some extent, and it's become such a phenomenon that even those who...

Hi Sara - This is a very well written piece, and it highlights very well the problem with our legislative body, particularly in its inability to to just that: legislate. We are at such a roadblock because of the polarization of politics, that people will literally vote on someone...

Sevin, great opinion piece! I wholeheartedly agree with you when you say "What people say about you shouldn’t matter." This has been a key element to my peace of mind living in the United States. I feel comfort in my ability to protest freely. I had a controversial opinion...

Allison, your post is great! You definitely highlight well the American dream. Do you think the American Dream really is available for everyone, though? Your title certainly suggests it's something you would like, but particularly as a result of your last paragraph, it seems like you might agree with...

Issa, you've definitely chosen an interesting topic, thanks for sharing. I want to say that your research so far has been eye opening for me. I had no idea that since the Yemen Civil War "there were more than 3,000 schools destroyed". That's a shocking figure, and I certainly...

Mauro, Thanks for your information, I enjoyed this article. One issue with it, however, is that just because "56.6% of Charter Schools are located in cities", it is not certain that fifty percent of the city's schools are charter schools. This doesn't necessarily mean that public schools get more funding,...

Walter, thanks for highlighting this issue. It is a big problem, especially in places like Hong Kong where people are forced to wear air filter masks just to go outside to breathe. Your piece is good for demonstrating the effects of air pollution on people, as well. I think...

Hey Epic, thanks for sharing your story! I've personally been playing video games since the beginning of my memory, and I really dislike the notion that they're destroying our generation. They're such a cool way to express creativity, and even a great way to show off. I've never been much...

Cicely- I really liked this post. I can relate, since I've been going to Catholic and other denominational private schools for my entire life. I've always been dissatisfied with the answer of "everything happens for a reason", and "God doesn't give you anything you can't handle". If we are truly...
