Mood Food: Healthy Cafeteria Eating

I really like your article! I think it's really important for schools to get rid of all that junk that they sell. My old high school, for example, didn't even have a salad bar. Instead they had bars, chips, and pre-packaged sandwiches. Plus, all the healthy food that they did bother to offer was noticeably more expensive, so no one ever bought it. I'm pretty sure they didn't even sell bottled water except in the vending machines. However, when you see sodas, you're more tempted to get a sugary substance anyway. They really should make more of an effort because kids have enough sugar when they get home.

I love your story. It has totally inspired me to rethink my options once I truly grow up and get a job. Thanks, Rocio, for putting it out there, that being a feminist isn't crazy - it's a true honor!!

Raped

Something similar happened to ... and you're totally right. If you bottle it up inside, it only makes it worse. Tell someone and get help getting over it. Because if you don't you start to get depressed, and who wants that??? I'm glad you were brave enough to write about your experience online, and I respect you for that. You go girl!

Raped

So deep and touching. This story will help all girls be more careful about who they hang with. THANK YOU, SARAH!!

Raped

I loved this article. I like hearing from people who have gone through hard times and how they've made it through it.

Raped

Wow. Not all girls can come out and say what had happened to them. So for you to confess something like this is totally touching.

Relationships Gone Bad

I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ... it is sooooo true.


Kailee, age 14
Relationships Gone Bad

My saying is "Once a cheater, always a cheater." I was cheated on by a guy, and he cheated on me with my best friend. This article is telling the truth. Do I still like that guy? Yes, I still like him. It's hard getting over that. But you have to. I told him I still have feelings for him, of course. And he told me he still had feelings for me. But this article is 100% right. No relationship lasts forever. Not in teen years anyway. Now the guy that cheated on me is with the girl that he cheated on me with. Does he cheat on her? I wouldn't doubt it. I'm not friends with her. But we aren't enemies either. Very good article.

The Freedom Writers

I saw the movie Freedom Writers and I thought it was fantastic. The journal idea is great! I think if more kids have journals to write in and people to talk to we would have less suicides. Keep doing what you do because you're an inspiration.

Juno

I think that the movie is great and I don't think that it promotes pregnancy. It will happen whether or not this movie was made and it will continue unfortunately. Ellen Page was excellent in the film and this article portrays the movie greatly.


Kylie, age 13
Juno

I loved this article bcuz I loved this movie - it was funny! I thought that the main role was given harsh lines though - her whole personality was rude.


Jasmine, age 16
The Lovely Bones

I agree! I love this book. I read it during the summer of 2007. I finished it in such a short time because I could not put it down! I was also in a school that was not my own, so the book was a good time to spend my time alone. Summer school was made fun by Lovely Bones. I would definitely recommend this book. Can't wait for the movie! Hope it's as good as the book (even though books are usually better)!


Danielle, age 16
The Lovely Bones

I am reading this book now for an AP English project and I love it! It's extremely sad but touching, and I think that girls who have been raped can relate to her feelings. There are many tragedies, such as Suzie's death, and for the many families who have experienced such a tragedy, it destroys their relationship and tears them apart. Alice Sebold does a great job of narrating the story through Suzie's eyes. And I'm certainly enthused about finishing it!


Chelzee, age 14
The Lovely Bones

Wow. My mom read this book about 3 years ago and she was telling me about it, but I was too young to care. Now after reading this, I really want to read it. Reading is one of my biggest hobbies. (:

This is very well written, although a bit unclear towards the end. Nevertheless, excellent piece.

Wow. This is really lovely. It's sad, but at the same time I find it to be inspirational. Gave me chills.
