I told him why i was not going to be able to pay for the phone and he did not understand. He kept asking me for the money and I kept telling him no. So I just went to the counselors and they told me that it was not my responsibility to pay for his phone and that if he asked me again to just let them know. A couple days pass by and he asks me again after school and I told him no again and so the next day I let the counselors know that he asked me and they called him in and told him I was not going to pay for his phone and he stopped bothering me. It's always good to tell people what's bothering you and to speak up and stand up for yourself. Because I know every time I do i feel really good after words.

    When I was younger I wanted to go to Harvard, that was my dream. Unfortunately, I was discouraged when I found out how much it cost to attend. However, that didn’t stop Selamawi Asgedom from not only attending Harvard, but getting a full-ride there.

The philosophy that if a person steals something small once, then the next thing that the person takes will be bigger, and then the stealing will escalate from there can be painfully correct.…

    Saving Kids From the Effects of Bullying Children should feel comfortable going to school, seeing it as a safe place to learn and not have to worry about being picked on, harassed or bullied.

    One problem that is ever evolving and continuously effects young adolescence in school is bullying. Bullying can be defined as an activity in which someone intentionally participates in either physically or emotionally harming a peer through any medium; such as words, actions, or technology. By applying this definition to the term bullying, it makes sense that almost every teenager in America can identify a time when they were bullied, when they bullied someone else, or a time when they saw a peer get harassed. And with an increase in technology use, minorities in school, and a growing LGBT group in the education system the problem is only going to get worse. There is a common misconception in the adult community as well as media that somehow…

    According to the National Bullying Prevention Center, “60 percent of students with disabilities reported being bullied in school.” Mainstream students in schools across the United States do not have daily interaction with the disabled students in their school, and this leads to mistreatment. I witnessed this first hand in the four years at my high school when observing the interactions between the two sets of students. Students with special needs are bullied in schools today due to a lack of education and inclusion with mainstream students; I propose if my high school were to start a club including both sets of students in the school, the amount of bullying would decline and friendships would be created. Creating a club in my school where…
