Student Goes on Shooting Spree: This isn't something new, in fact how many times have you probally read something similar to this. Thank GOD that a story like this hasn't been done at our highschool. It's honestly heartbreaking to read stories like this, its sad to know that people get made fun of becaouse of their faith, sexuality, clothes, and economics. Its sad that we focus more on what others have rather than who they are. We know as sad as it is-this isn't the first or last time something similar to this will happen, but we need to open out eyes, put down our walls and try to keep peace.

Teen Banned From U.S Honestly, in my opinion I say the governments reaction to similar issues like this are very late. In order for any movement, or punishment to be put on "bullys" the president himself has to be bullied. I think this is outrageous that a seventeen year old boy is banned from the U.S, isn't America the land of oppurtunity, with lady liberty waiting to great you openly at Ellis Island. Imagine not being able to experience the wealth, riches, and freedoms on this county. Your facebook wall has namecalling on it, promises, threats, and when you tell an offical they turn the other way, why has it taken so many numerous children getting mad fun of, harrassed and threatned for an action to be mad. Remind you only made because he is the President of the United States.

Gay Adobtion Ban Stuck Down It seems amazing how the people of this coutry can come up with more laws on sexualitiy, pregnancy, adoptions etc. Imagine combining all three issues, to ban gay adoption~its almost unbelieveanle that they would have the nerve to say those who can not get impregnated shouldn't have the chance and experience to the difficulties, and joys of children. It doesn't matter if you have to moms or dads, or if your skin color is diffrent, it matters if you have a home. A place you know will be waiting for you with your family inside, waiting for your presence. Every child should be given the chance of a loving family, and ever coupld should have a chance to experience a child of their own.
