Imagine: You are fourteen and come
home from school to find your drunken mother dangling off the side of the
couch; you have to pick her up. This is an issue a depressed teen would
experience; this is also a reason for them to cut. Cutting is when a person
cuts their body for relief of pain. Many students shun their peers when
they find this out, which is not fair. People who do this are close-minded
and in ways hypocritical. What do you think? Send me your comments by

Vote, in my opinion, should have a wide effect on how many young adults
vote in this year’s election. I am pleased that organizations took the time
to arrange programs that would encourage this particular generation to
vote. They (we) are people too and
whether they realize it or not, they have a voice, a loud voice. And this year
they might be heard!-Expressionz (editor
