This is very well written and inspiring. I agree that something needs to be done about this issue- teens are too young to face some of the charges that adults do. I do think that teens are old enough to face consequences of their actions, but for this to be true, we need a fair and just system- not one that judges on account of race. We should be…Read More

I definitely agree with you, in that in order for things to change, we need to actually make that change happen. I do think that the safety pin idea is a good start and a good representation of what we want to change, but we do need to stand up and make change. Great writing and ideas!

This is such a great topic, especially as we see how relevant it is today. Great job summarizing your paper, and I cant wait to read more on this!

This is a great post and very interesting. I like that you talk about how to make the sport safer, not just not playing the sport. I do think it is important to know the dangers of playing the sport, but it is also important to also know how to stay safe.

This is very well written and I admire your dedication to this subject. I think that having art in school, or at least offering it, is very important to students. I think that it is a great creative outlet and can be very beneficial to students as art can be incorporated in many careers.

Great poem! Very well written and I love the last stanza.

Great job! I thinks this is a topic that many people don’t think about, so thank you for writing about it. Have you heard of any ways that people are trying to clean the ocean or stop plastic from entering it?

I was also completely surprised, and disappointed, by the election results. I think that many people in the country are scared right now, and are unsure as to what the future holds. But I agree that we will have to wait and see what he delivers on.

This is a very interesting and well written post. I agree that beauty standards can be, and many times are, harmful for people. I think that as a society we need to stop saying “this is what you should be” and really focus on saying, “be yourself and embrace what you have”. I think that many if not all of us know what it is like to live up to an…Read More

You are correct- political correctness is a big issue in today’s society. But it should be. People SHOULD be careful of what they say in order not to offend others. As many other people have commented, a big part of this issue is that people don’t and won’t understand what it is like to be in someone else’s shoes. In order for you to make a strong…Read More

I think that this is an interesting topic that I haven’t considered before. I understand why you argue that relationships can be unnecessary in middle/high school, and maybe we don’t need to focus on them now as we have our whole lives to do that. However, I do think that there can be some major benefits of talking about relationships while in…Read More

This is an a amazing piece of writing and I completely agree. You have given examples that many women can relate to and I belive that your vision of a changed society is something we all have to strive for.

Feminism is not women “complaining about really foolish topics”. Feminism is people (men and women) realizing that sexism and inequities exist and cannot be ignored. There is real inequality for women in this country and around the world. Feminists are not hated by most and are not “jokes” as you put it; some feminists have made real contributions…Read More
