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
With editing assistance from
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
With editing assistance from
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.
