Praneeth wrote a new post, Speak Up 1 year, 2 months ago

I believe that we must speak up for what we believe in or have no power to do as you truly want. I believe we all have a voice that booms within ourselves, the use only you can decide. Our voices are the

Determination

One must be determined to succeed or it is portless to put in the effort. Determination is the root of success, without determination you can not achieve anything. Everyone has goals they set but
Praneeth commented on the post, Equality The Greatest Value Of All 1 year, 8 months ago

Thank you Kristen for commenting! I do think equality is the greatest value of all because we are all a part of it. We as the people of America strive to be equal and when there is an absence of inequality we protest, this is going on right now, by the LGBTQ and the femenist movements. Freedom and justice are important American values but we…[Read more]

Praneeth commented on the post, America’s Most Important Values 1 year, 8 months ago

Hi tristan, I agree with your writing about American values. The Paragraph where you talk about independence is highly accurate, because in India there is not that big of a strive for independence like there is in America. In America the large majority wants to be independent and also the usual upbringing of kids are fashioned that way. I think…[Read more]

Praneeth wrote a new post, Equality The Greatest Value Of All 1 year, 9 months ago

We regard ourselves as the greatest country in the world. However what makes us so great, better than other countries? I believe these are the main American values. There are many important American values, but I

  Hey Praneeth, I strongly agree with you that we regard United States as the greatest country in the world. I agree with you about the value you stated here. I also said equality as one of the values we need to live by. I like your argument and stuff but I think it is a little short.

  You had good citations and I like how you closed up your argument.

  Hi Praneeth,
  I like how your evidence and citations is very strong. You were able to back up your evidence and show that the Constitution is a symbol of inequality. However, I would like to see you work on your introductory paragraph. Why is inequality the strongest American value? What other American values can you compare inequality to? Is it better than freedom or justice? I feel like it would give a stronger introduction to your evidence paragraph. Overall, great effort!

    Oh my gosh, I’m sorry. I mean equality, not inequality. That’s not the American value you were talking about.

    Thank you Kristen for commenting! I do think equality is the greatest value of all because we are all a part of it. We as the people of America strive to be equal and when there is an absence of inequality we protest, this is going on right now, by the LGBTQ and the femenist movements. Freedom and justice are important American values but we already have a free country and a very stable court system. There is not much room to expand in these values because we have already reached the limit they can be expressed. We can’t be more free than we are right now. Freedom was big but after the 13, 14, 15 and 19 amendment there is not much more free we can be. Things will always be changing and there will be new equal movements.
Praneeth commented on the post, Should Bottled Water Be Banned? 1 year, 9 months ago

Hi Penelope,
I think you have a strong point, but I think that it would be hard to ban plastic bottles many people use bottles as a way for their intake of water. Bottles are a very efficient way for people to access water when they are not at home and on the go. Places like marathons and running events need water and the best way is bottled…[Read more]

About us

This is a youth-powered publishing platform that was started in 2003 by a group of teachers from local sites of the National Writing Project.

We merged several earlier blogging projects. We have found that there are many advantages to bringing students together in one site that lives beyond any particular class. It’s easier for individual students to read and write about their own passions, to connect with other students, comment on each other’s work, and create multimedia posts for each other. Further, it’s been exciting for us to pool our knowledge about curriculum, connected learning, and digital literacies.

There are over 8,000 posts and over 13,000 comments by young people on the site on topics as diverse as the American Dream, Shakespeare, and sports as well as original poems and stories.

Youth Voices is a platform for youth to write about their interests, both in school and outside of school: what they are reading, what their hobbies or future careers might be, what they enjoy in their spare time. Like all of us, students follow our national leadership and form opinions. They are also welcome to write about those topics as well.

Youth Voices is fully non-partisan and welcomes youth of all types, from all regions, and with all viewpoints. Educators support youth in writing and thoughtfully responding to each other through the use of commenting guides, using tags to show common interests, playlists to support self-guided inquiry; opinions expressed by writers are their own.

If being part of such a community makes sense to you, we invite you to join us. We welcome all youth and any teacher interested in having students publish online and participate in the give and take of a social network like Youth Voices.
