An article recently published in The Arizona Republic suggested . . . [Continue Reading]
One month ago, a Youth Voice Club was started at Horizon High School. During the clubs, over 30 people (contributors and subscribers) discuss ideas for the website, article ideas, and talk to each other about recent editorials that have been posted on the site. The success of this club is astounding with the leadership of Scott Buscemi, and now it is looking to expand.
The goal is to have at least 8 Youth Voice clubs in high schools throughout the United States by the middle of next schoolyear. There are currently 3 more clubs being planned to start next schoolyear, but that’s just the beginning.

The next time you walk into a Blockbuster (or… tee hee… Hollywood Video) and think to yourself, “Man, you know what I’m really in the mood for?

Unlike most teenage girls these days, I am one hundred percent pro-life. Although many of my friends have tried to make me see the light, this is one of the few beliefs I will probably never ever compromise. However, I have noticed that many pro-choicers have preconceptions that don’t apply to me at all, or a lot of other pro-lifers for that matter. Although the following statements . . .

What is the difference between supper and dinner? How about Coke, pop, or soda? Why are so many words used for the same basic idea. By definition dinner is the main meal of the day, eaten in the evening or at midday. Where as Supper means . . . [Continue Reading]
We’ve all done it. You see someone you talk to from time to time, but have never ACTUALLY spoken words with. You look through all of their pictures, statuses, wall posts, etc. You become to KNOW them. Yet, once you actually see them in real, 3-D life, you pass by without so much as a glance or a word. Why is this? [Continue Reading]
