Bullying isntalways in

personBy Nate MaGee

With editing assistance from

Ayaisha Davis and Marcalin

HairstonJr. Frost Writer

The meaning of bullying is to

talk or spread rumors about other

people. Bullying can be consid-

ered teasing, talking about people,

hurting someones feelings, leav-

ing kids on purpose.

Bullying can happen in person,

but also can happen on the Inter-net. That is called cyberbullying.

The meaning of cyberbullying is

people bullying another person

online/the Internet, which can put

that person down. Hate mail are

messages that show racism, sex-

ism, or a form of harassment.

Now bullying is not that differ-

ent from cyberbullying, its just

not in person. In everyday life,

bullying is one of the main factors

of suicide from ages nine through

15.

Who I amBy Libby SmithJr. Frost Writer

I am going to tell you something

about my struggle to overcome ad-

versity:

I am twice exceptional, which

is someone who has two or morelearning disabilities but is of

very high IQ. I have dyslexia and

ADHDand I am very intel-

ligent. But people do not see the

intelligence. They just see the dys-

lexia or the ADHD. Because of

that, my confidence in my abilities

was non-existent, and from time

to time it still is. I have struggled

with this all my life. Following is

some advice I have used to over-

come. Maybe it will help you too:

1. Find humor in your mistakes.

It is more fun to laugh when I use

wench in a sentence when I sup-

posed to use which. And, I remem-

ber the lesson better too.2. Make the effort to work

through the problem; around the

problem; over the problem. Look

at different ways to solve the prob-

lem.

3. Knock the problem down to

sizelike the riddle about eating

the elephant: How do you eat an

elephant? One bite at a time. Prob-

lems are easier to solve in smaller

components.

4. Like Mark Twain said, I nev-

er let my schooling interfere with

my education. The whole point

is to look outside the box. There

is always more than one way to

solve a problem. Be creative.

5. Create and sse a support team

of friends, family and spiritual

leaders to lean on when you are

suffering from poor self-esteem.

The journey may seem impos-

sible sometimes. But, hopefully

you can use some of these lessons

I have acquired to ease your jour-

ney. In the words of Tim Gunn,

Make it work.

Music industrycould have

influence onteens

By Rain Franko


Ayaisha Davis and Marcalin

Hairston

Jr. Frost Writers

The music industry isnt the

same as many years ago. Im spe-

cifically talking about rap and hip

hop, and not only the industry. Im

talking about how it influences

teens and students.

When a rapper is talking about

drugs and alcohol and thats all a

teen/student is listening to, can it

change the way they think, act and

talk?

The rapper Rick Ross is a big

example of what talks about in his

music. Rick Ross says in his song

U.O.E.N.O:

Put molly all in the cup/she

aint even know it/I took her home

and enjoyed that/She aint even

know it.

The Rapper 2 Chainz is another

rapper who talks about drugs in

several of his songs. Here is an-

other example 2 Chainz song:

Crack started from the trap

now I rap, no matter where im

at I got crack.

When rappers are talking

about these drugs, what do teen/

students think? Do they want to

try these drugs? Will they try

to drug another girl because

they heard Rick Ross say it, so

it makes it cool? Can a rapper

change the way teens/students

buy and wear their clothes?

The rapper Wiz Khalifa has a

particular type of styleLevi

Skinnies, Chuck Taylors and a

blonde patch of hair called the

Wiz Patch. What became a typi-

cal outfit for teens/students?

Televisioninfluenceschildren,adults

By Marcalin HairstonJr. Frost Writer

Im going to tell you in my

perspective of influential tele-

vision:

First is the fact that CNN

news is considered the most

influential show in the last 20

years. In my opinion, however,

children shows are the most

influential. Those shows teach

young minds right from wrong

left from right and bsolutely

turn them into young adults.

Shows on PBS such as, Blues

Clues and Dora The Explorer

all have messages to guide the

children in the right way.

As for adults, I picked up

some vital information from

shows like Pawn Stars and

American Pickers. You could

find those on the History Chan-

nel. Pawn Stars you bring in his-

torical items or family memen-

tos passed down from a family

member or atticspaintings,

toys, baseball cards, anything.

As for American Pickers, there

are two guys who seek to find

amazing junk all around the

worldbasically trash that you

can turn into treasures.

Learn thesigns of dating

abuseBy Ayaisha Davis

Jr. Frost Writer

Do you know when youre in an

abusive relationship? There are so

many ways to tell if your relation-

ship is becoming abusive.

One minute you have some-

one who makes you think they

love you and you are everything

to them, then all of a sudden you

begin to doubt love and what it re-

ally is.

Warning Signs:

The person you thought loved

you becomes controlling and may

make you feel like you are noth-

ing. Eventually, you begin to feel

isolated from your family and

friends.

When your partner is unhappy

about something you feel nervous

or they make you feel like its your

fault.

You start to realize that your

opinion doesnt matter and every-

thing has to go their way, whether

its right or wrong.

You may eventually become

afraid of your partner, doing things

they would not normally do. Al-

lowing this to continue may take

away your identity, which means

you may no longer be yourself,

but you feel like a robot on call for

your partner.

Some things you may do to

try and prevent becoming in an

abusive relationship: Beware of characteristics of

the person youre in a relationship

with.

Observe how the person treats

others, such as being respectful,

not degrading people.

Pay attention to if that person

wants to know about you, or just

wants to talk about themselves.

Look for the person if they try-

ing to be overly cocky or insecure.

People who are insecure tend to be

more abusive to others.

If you need more tips go to

http://findyouthinfo.gov/youth-

topics/teen-dating-violence/re-

sources.Finally if you find yourself in

an abusive relationship, look for

options to leave. You may need

a plan, or family support, if your

partner is not willing to get help.

Remember, you deserve better.

Its better to be alone for the

rest of your life, then to be with

bad company for a minute, ac-

cording to Big Momma from the

movie Big Mommas House:

Like Father Like Son.

Alcoholismand alcohol

By Soniah Crawford

Jr. Frost Writer

Alcohol is the one drink that

causes hangovers and sometimes

is very addictive. Also, alcohol

can cause problems like low self-

esteem, depression, anxiety and

other mood problems.

In the U.S., people begin drink-

ing alcohol in their mid-teens.Alcohol can affect teens, women,

men and the elderly quite differ-

ently.

If you drink alcohol theres two

signs that you know you drank

some alcohol, and they are:

The smell of alcohol in the

breath and

The smell of it on the skin.

Another sign of a person who

drinks alcohol is if they have

glazed bloodshot eyes.

Alcohol abuse affects about 10

percent of women and 20 percent

of men in the U.S. Almost 2,000

people under 21 years of age, die

each year in car crashes, which arecaused by under age drinking.

Drinking too much alcohol can

make you dizzy and kind of crazy.

Alcohol is involved in nearly half

of all violent deaths involving

teens. Most people die because

they were drunk and they were

also driving.

Alcoholism starts because

young kids get depressed eas-

ily and some people get too de-

pressed and start to drink a lot. If

you drink alcohol then you will

most likely start to smoke, and

smoking can get you lung cancer

and you can die from that too.

There is 12.5 percent alcohol in

the average wine and an aver-

age five percent of alcohol is in

beer. When you get pulled over

by the police, they tell you to

get out of your car and walk a

white or a yellow line. You will

also have to take a test called the

breathalyzer test, which means

that you will have to breath in

the tube and it tells the police if

you have been drinking or not.

If it is higher than .08 percent,

then youre going down.

One more thing about drunk

driving is that the police can doanother test to see if youre re-

ally drunk and that is: they give

you a dizzy mask and a ball.

The police will throw the ball

and if you dont catch it, youre

going to jail.

Alcohol is the most com-

monly used psychoactive drug

in the world. Alcohol is very

much so poison, you can have

relationship problems and men-

tal problems. Also beer, wine,

and whisky are poison for your

brain and your body.

The state ofLGBT rights

By Shondrea Johnson


Marcalin HairstonJr. Frost Writers

LGBT is an organization

originally formed in the late-

to mid-1980s. LGBT stands

for Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual,

Transgender Organization.

This Organization helps gay,

lesbian, bi-sexual and transgen-

ders accept themselves.

LGBT is not accepted in all

states. Ninety-four countries

have signed an LGBT rights

declaration in the UN General

Assembly as sponsors of the

2011 rights resolution. Fifty-

four countries had signed a

statement opposing LGBT right

in 2008initially 57 but three

switched to support LGBT

rights. Forty-six countries have

not officially opposed or sup-

ported LGBT rights in the UN.

The LGBT rights are actually

human rights and civil rights.

The LGBT rights never actu-

ally gained acceptance in the

United States. States are now

slowly letting gays get married.

I think that all tates should let

gays get married. If you love

somebody, nobody can stop

you from loving that person.

Fort Wayne Girls RockPress conference with Denita Washington (center), co-founder and

executive director, accompanied by students Madison Wallace (far left)

and Cloe Starks.

Jr Frost Reporter: What was the purpose of starting this organiza-

tion?

Denita Washington: Part of it was that we started tosee a need for

girls to know who they are. I started to realize that the media was por-

traying women as something hard to live up to. The Beyonces, Rihan-

nas, theyre great women but thats just one dimension of a woman. So

our goal was to begin to show women from all spectrums of life. And

show that we do rock.

Jr Frost Reporter: What type of services do you offer?

Denita Washington: We have expanded from the one-time work-

shop...we are now working with guidance counselors. We have about

eights guidance counselors from all over the city that will come in and

team up with us to work with the kids.
