		<description><![CDATA[On the news recently, there’ve been a lot of stories about an attack on a 17 year old that was filmed and put on YouTube. The beating took place in Chicago and was supposedly in retaliation for the victim’s involvement in a prior fight. Seven teens are being charged for the attack, which went on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of us look at magazines, others look at mirrors, some at the music videos; we are always constantly comparing ourselves to someone else, to something else, and if we don’t fit that idea then we aren’t pretty enough. I remember I would look at the music videos and they were usually the same. The [...]]]></description>

But a few days ago, a line was crossed when I walked in on my mother watching Jersey Shore. This is wrong. I should not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every day when I walked into the school cafeteria, I always noticed how segregated everyone was. It was always one ethnic group to each table, and then there were the outcasts. I never understood why the school was like that, it was like the color of our skin was everything. One day my best friend [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day I walked in on a discussion about tattoos. During this discussion, an issue was brought up about how teenagers and younger people nowadays don’t really have a meaning behind their tattoos and just do it for the sake “being cool” versus before when each tattoo had a significant meaning to the individual [...]]]></description>

This year, because of the lockout, the season starts with five games on Christmas day. Never mind the fact that Christmas, a Sunday, also plays host [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m what some people would consider “sheltered,” well, in a certain sense of that word. As a child, I went to elementary school about two blocks away from my house and therefore my parents expected me to be home right after school or they could easily come get me. I didn’t get an allowance, and [...]]]></description>

We change when our situations force us to. There is no point in living if we all die in the end and what we are chasing after – [...]]]></description>
