They made fun of my hair, clothing, the way I walked, the people I was friends with, and the list goes on and on. Every cruel word felt like a punch in the stomach. In those moments, I had to make a choice. I could be bitter towards these…

Letter to the Editor In Hooked on a Myth, Victoria Braithwaite states that “fish suffer.” I have a pet fish of my own who swims contently in its own little bowl. I never harmed the little fish because I believe that all living organisms feel pain. It is true that fish do not holler out when pricked like dogs and cats; however, they do make an attempt to avoid danger by escaping it. When a boy runs through a pond, the fish in that pond bolt away from that boy to avoid danger. Therefore, it is…
