Rape Culture at Paly High - 46 views

This article was very well done. It was interesting (and horrible) to read about the after-effects of rape. Like Jordan said, it would have been interesting to hear quotes from Tina's peers, becaus...

Response to the "Why Gen Y is Unhappy" Article - 11 views

I agree with all of these comments, I had to end up just skimming the article because it was a real tough read. His aggressive language and stance on the subject makes his article seem more appropr...

Where Mental Asylums Live On-NYTimes - 15 views

Common Core is Killing Cursive - 18 views

The reason that cursive was common is because it is a faster way to write without being illegible - and for me, since I use it often, it is exactly that. I think we should stress typing more than c...

Dad refuses to give son McDonalds; called an unfit parent - 4 views

This is so screwed. I believe that a very prevalent issue which more or less describe our generation was a lack of discipline. I think as a parent it is important that you follow through with the u...

Interesting. Thanks for sharing, Jack! It's always a fine line with Anonymous, and it depends person to person. There are some hacks I think are awesome and justified, and others I'm really offende...
