Teen smoking By: Jesse E-mail: [email protected] Teen Smoking Teen smoking. Those two words mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. To some it means nothing.

Suicide
Suicide I'm about to take up a position which is going to be deamed by some, if not all, as a terrible stand to take. As a matter of fact, if anyone were to agree with me on ths subject, I'd be surprsed. For you see, rather than arguing from the postion of suicide being an unjustified and inane way to die, I shall argue the other point. That being suicide does have its merits.

Student Protest
Student Protest For years it has been a hot topic. What can students do and what can they not do? What is considered going to far? For many this is a question that has no true and legal answer.
