Schools Need More Autism Awareness

by Taylor Ephraim

If Autism was taught in classrooms, normally developing children would understand these issues some people have no choice of living with. Kids in school with autistic characteristics are easy targets for their typically developing peers.  

A study in The New York Times shows that children on the autism spectrum disorder are bullied nearly five times more often than their typically developing peers. Parents of autistic kids think the rate is even higher than that, some feel as if their designated school is unsafe for their child.

Opinion: Improving Relationships Among High School Girls

by Regina Figaro

I would like to address the growing deficit of amicable relationships between high school females. I address this in hopes of encouraging the growth and development of my classmates, advocating the better treatment of each other, and eradicating our lack of respect for each other and our differences.

We, as females are all faced with the challenges that come with societal double standards, inequality, stereotypes, and generalization. Not to mention all the difficulties we endure naturally such as menses, childbirth, and menopause. No matter which race, religion, or ethnicity we are, we are all still females experiencing the same trials and discrimination because of our sex.
