Bella,
This is a very impressive article with a very impressive amount of words. I can tell your very passionate about this and that it admirable. I agree with you that technology has changed and become an outlet for more bullying. It makes it easier for bullies to hid and is easier for the victim to get hit. It is very tough to monitor since…[Read more] -

Jaime,
I totally agree with your points. As soon as I got a job I started to appreciate the amount of money more and what my parents do for me. It humbles you and depending on the job you get, you respect other people that work more too. Getting a job matured me and made me grow as a person. I also agree you need to be careful. You shouldn’t…[Read more] -

Alex,
While I do not know much about sports, your article intrigues me. I would agree that they wont be seeing a paycheck anytime soon because of the argument of paying that many. I do believe that one day depending on where they attend and their skill that they will get paid. I do not know how much but I think they will. If you could choose how…[Read more] -

Alazia,
I agree with your point in this article. If we put more effort into helping and changing these kids before they get to a point where we have to incarcerate them, the number of kids in Juvenal incarceration would go down greatly. A lot of these kids turn to crime and gang life to help their family when they’re struggling. We need to put an…[Read more] -

Koji,
I thought it was interesting that you were able to tie minority groups into this argument. While I haven’t thought about that, it is true. With this new booming industry, people that were originally behind are able to catch up and succeed. I agree with Lindsay as well with you being a very good voice for this topic. It is fresh and new.

Hey Shane, I really liked reading your article. I wrote something similar as my first post to this community: https://www.youthvoices.live/2017/09/18/can-we-colonize-mars/ . While space exploration is a possibility, I think it could be argued both ways. In my article, I neglected to answer why we should, or shouldn’t, in depth. While we certainly could fund an interstellar colony, it would be difficult to maintain, and impractical at the moment. Until we can further develop technology to accommodate large scale life outside of Earth, interstellar travel would prove nearly impossible for more than just logistical reasons.

Shadayah,
I completely agree with your statement that we have the right to fight for what we believe in. I also agree with you in standing for the anthem. It’s not fair to disrespect all the people that have fought for out country just because of one person. We should handle those issues in other ways. Are there any ways you can think of that…[Read more] -

This was a very well written article. I enjoyed the fact that you included both sides of the argument. I personally support and found your pros interesting. While the legalization could be a negative because of deals and the illicit market, I think that there are more pros than cons. My sister has epilepsy and it effects her greatly but it…[Read more] -

Jesus,
I enjoyed how you read this novel and what you noticed. Once you read deeper into a novel you can take in and have a fonder understanding of the author. By doing this you’re able to relate to him more and take the information in a different way. I read a book by Greg Boyle that had the same idea. Boyle ran Homeboy Industries that focused on…[Read more] -

This post was very well written with what seemed like a lot of passion behind it.

Alex, this is very well written. I agree with the fact that raising the minimum wage would increase economic activity but that it comes with risks such as businesses having to lay off employees.

Hi Shane,
I found your article to be very informative on the issue of space exploration. I completely agree with your point in saying that the government should not cut back on the budget for space exploration and that the amount of money spent on national defense is too high. I look forward to reading more about this issue in the future.
