Bullying

In the news recently there has been a lot of issues with bullying.  4 kids have committed suicide in the past few weeks.  They were bulled over being gay.  That also brings up another questions should kids be bullied because they are different. The answer to that is no know one should be bullied even if they are different.  Everyone has their own opinion to everything.  Cyber bulling is the new type of bulling  that is starting to become a problem in schools across the country.  Technology has evolved were you can write what you want and everyone can see it.  Technology is great, but sometimes people take it for granted. Instead of kid picking on kids they are using the internet to get to people.  You can not see what someone is thinking behind a computer.  I don't think their is a problem at DHS. I have been there for 4 years and i never saw someone get bullied.  Maybe other people have different opinions but from what i have seen most people treat each other with respect.  From what i know some verbal bullying goes on in school.  I have never seen it to a serious threat to another person.  I think a challenge day would be cool so we could see what people really have to deal with day to day. 

Drug Testing the real truth

I am in favor of drug testing because it will help control the problem of drugs. Drugs have been a problem in the United States.  We need to promote drug testing  in schools to prevent kids in school from using drugs.  Yes drug testing can be expensive but if we help prevent the use of drugs we don't need to spend money on all the programs that prevent drug use.  I think by just helping a few kids at each school it might have a ripple affect on other kids not to do drugs.  "Drug-impaired students undermine our country's ability to compete on the world stage. Unfortunately, compared with many of our international competitors, the U.S. is operating at a handicap because too many of our youth, indeed our citizens, are abusing drugs. America represents four percent of the worlds population, yet it consumes two-thirds of the world's illegal drugs." If kids do drugs they are more likely to try other drugs which is not good.  We need to stop drugs because if they have kids their kids could have drug problems which is a ripple effect.
