What make teens kill in schools


For this topic I reach Dr. Blanca Cienfuegos who explained to me why teens have these extrem ideas and behaviors for killing someone. This topic was pretty delicate to talk about, but at the end I finally understood what is behind this teens.
 So there are too many reasons why teens kill but the most common ones are that most of these teens already believed in some horrible ideas that were provoked by themselves or by someone for example if they were harmed by their family or in a difficult environment. Another option that we can find is that they could consume any substance like drugs, making them have decisions that they didn’t think about before but now they do. With this explanation we can show that basically these kids were harmed in some point of their lives, and with this pain they want to try to escape in some way because it is too much weight to carry day after day. These people live in their own world without thinking of anyone else, they just walk through a place that they feel is the correct path. 
Dr. Blanca Cienfuegos explained that another reason that might affect their way of thinking and act is because of violent video games which basically affect in some parts of the brain changing the behaviors and providing part of the ideas that we saw before.  
When we were almost finishing our chat, I asked about what we can do to help them? So what we can do as students and also as teachers is to first watch any behavior that seem to be out of normal and then if we think that it is possible to talk to him or her try to comprehend their pain and concerns, this might sound like not a great option to do for some of you but in reality it helps a lot in the healthy social status of the teen letting them know that they are  not alone and there will be someone to be supported.

Prisoners Design What They Can't Buy- Luke

Luke Kirchner      I chose to read the article "Objects Made by Prisoners in the United States". This was a very interesting article, as it showed what it's like to be in an American prison and how they make some objects. When Prisoners are in prison, the severity of their punishments can vary, but the lack of creative freedom is often detrimental to each prisoner. This lack of freedom can sometimes drive their creativity to make their own objects, showing off individual expression. Some items like pens and toothbrushes were not given in the full form, due to the fear of prisoners turning them into weapons. Instead, the prisoners thought about how they could fix these problems. The article says "The items shown here, made by inmates in the U.S. prison system, illustrate the severity of restrictions imposed on prisoners as well as the human instinct to persevere through creativity and invention" (The Atlantic).      They took the ink cartridge for the pen an

Josey - The Fashion Industries Effect on the Enviroment

           Clothing production around the world has doubed since the year 2000, making the fashion indsutry the second biggest polluter in the world. The impact of the indsutry on the enviroment has always been substantial, but in recent years as it has continued to grow, the impact has grown with it. It is estimated that aproximately every second a truck load of clothing is dumped or burned in a landfill. Not only is this a huge amount of resources, but it is also clothing that could easily be reworn or recycled. This is an extremely wasteful amount and is not only affecting the resources that are used, but also the workers who are being forced to produce materials at extremely fast rates.            Wasting these materials is one of the major ways that this is having an effect on the enviroment but another is the waste that is produced and put into the enviroment. Often when factories produce clothing, once they are done they dump chemicals from the factory into rivers. These chemic

Recovering Ecosystems

Tyler Holland Mr. Roddy IHSS 26 March 2020 Recovering Ecosystems A large challenge for stopping the increasing problems that we face with air pollution and other environmental problems, is that humans are natural control freaks. People try so hard to invent new ways to control the risks that our Earth faces instead of just trying to let nature do its work. Isabella and Charlie, a couple who owned farmland in England, came to the realization that nature solves its own problems, after they had a run in with a feared weed for many farmers. Once they discovered the 'cursed thistle' in their farms they feared the worst as it spread so quickly, but they had decided to let it happen because using pesticides and chemicals was not an option for them. After a while they started to see a flourishing environment in their acres that they had not seen there before, painted lady butterflies flew across the land and after a while caterpillars were crawling all over their 60 acres and ea
