Society & Lifestyle > Racism American 'whites' are suffering racial discrimination: 1 of 6

We moved our family from rural Michigan in 2005. Jobs were scarce, cost of living was high, and we wanted a fresh start. It was so exciting (and a little scary) to move to a bigger city in Arizona. I was more worried about fitting in with "city people" than I was about people of different races. We pulled in to the parking l...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Turn the page: 2 of 10

We have struggled for twenty years Pushing and pulling, hurting and holding One of my darkest fears Was losing what we had But what we had was not built on what could last Over twenty years we became accustomed to each other Reminiscing, crying and mulling over the past Will not bind our spirits We were not partners. I was a...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Teens Should you let your teenager smoke at home?: 5 of 18

Parents should not allow their teens to smoke at home or anywhere around them. They should also make it clear that their teen shouldn't be smoking in other places, either. It shouldn't happen for two different reasons: it is detrimental to their teen's health and it is illegal. We already know that smoking causes health prob...
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenting Teens Why do people assume teenagers won't make good parents?: 4 of 11

I believe the biggest reasons for assuming teens lack parenting skills are self-absorption, rebelliousness, immaturity and lack of guidance. Teenagers are usually very self-oriented. The belief that teenagers think mostly about themselves is true most of the time with many of them and some of the time with the rest of them. ...

Security, peace, and naturalism are the three biggest reasons living in the country is preferable to living in the city. I lived in the country for the first eighteen years of my life and in small communities for fifteen years. I have lived in the city for the last three. The only positives I've found about the city are more...
Style & Beauty > Body Image Do people stop caring about their appearance as they get older?: 6 of 8

There are a variety of reasons people seem to care less about their appearance as they age. The phenomenon is not specifically caused by the aging process. One only has to look at Hollywood and even in one's own neighborhood to notice how some take great pains with their appearance well into their senior years. Of course, ma...
Health & Fitness > Fitness & Exercise Tips The disadvantages of a morning workout: 3 of 4

The most obvious disadvantages of a morning workout are those involved with waking up earlier than one would have to if one were simply getting ready for work and feeling less than flexible after a night on anything other than a posturpedic mattress. The less obvious disadvantages of working out in the morning involve losing...
Education > Secondary School Issues Military recruiters invading high schools: 13 of 16

An English teacher allowed students to place an anti-war poster beside the military recruitment poster. She believed she was teaching them something about free speech and the right to protest. Apparently, she was wrong, because according to the recruiter visiting the school that day, she is unpatriotic. He told her so in fro...
Religion & Spirituality > Bible Study Was Jesus' mother Mary divine or just human?: 43 of 51

The one source we have for the Christian religion says absolutely NOTHING about Mary being anymore than a human woman who was blessed by God. In fact, other than being the vassal for the coming of Christ, she was spiritually unimportant to Christianity. There are several examples of this in the scriptures. When Christ was 12...
