  • Indeed, a key reason that child sex abuse often stays hidden is that it is difficult for people to accept that a trusted authority figure or loved one could do something so awful.

      This is so true because it's hard to face it when you're being told that your loved one was abused or rapped because the person who did it was trusted, and it makes you feel bad.

  • How is it that a powerfully built ex-quarterback could watch the rape of a 10-year-old boy and do nothing to stop it?

      Well I think he didn't tell anyone at the time because he didn't have the guts to do it because it was one of his friends that was coaching with him, but now I think he regrets not doing anything about the situation.

  • If the entire human species were a single individual, that person would long ago have been declared mad.

      This is very interesting to me because I would have thought that all the humans combined would be happy, but this is saying that person would be mad.
  • We're the only species with language, we told ourselves—until gorillas and chimps mastered sign language.

      This is interesting to me because I always thought other animals had their own language but I guess not.  Also, gorillas and chimps to me are fascinating because they're smart enough to make their own language to communicate.
  • Of course, the fact is, that child will sometimes hit and won't feel particularly bad about it either—unless he's caught
    • Trevin Tengan

      I believe this is true because if the kid doesn't get caught, he/she will think it is ok to keep doing it.

      I didn't know people would come and talk to students about their relationships on facebook.
  • These pressing adolescent questions were part of a one-day conference on “healthy breakups” sponsored by the Boston Public Health Commission.

      I think this is good for the community because it will help them build better relationships and better choices.
  • “No one talks to young people about this aspect of relationships,” Nicole

      I think this is true and I'm happy that someone cares about todays youth.

  • It was not religion that attacked the United States on September 11, 2001, Obama said. It was al Qaeda.

      I think that this group is very dangerous and we need to get rid of them

      I think that this is a good way to remember all the ones who past away from 9/11.  It's good how they honor the victims of 9/11

      It is suck a coincidence that these birds are the same as that family.

      What is the odds of that?  That is so cool.
  • "You've got 99% of the babies being thrown out by the parent," says Mock. "The tree just drops all the losers."

      I think this quote really fits what the article is trying to say.  Also, I didn't even know that orange trees do that.
  • While the eldest in an overpopulated brood has it relatively easy—getting 100% of the food the parents have available—things get stretched thinner when a second-born comes along.
    • Trevin Tengan

      From this sentence, I think the eldest child gets the most attention.  For example, it could get all the food since their the first.
