What are values?
Are they something that can be quantified or something that can be bought? Does education teach us values or is its only aim to make us street smart and to teach us to earn a living and make financial fortunes?
Are values to be taught in a school, as part of a curriculum or should they be nurtured at home? Should a government create a place for values in a nation’s education policy and impart as a classroom subject?
Is earning money and being successful more important than learning and inculcating values in children?
Alas…All these questions can never have a real and satisfactory answer. We can have endless avenues for questioning and debates on this topic but can never conclude one way or the other.
Amongst, all these questions and debates, there is a matter of...

Last month the coronavirus, to us anyway, was just a meme about some sickness and China. Last month we had no idea the effect it would have on the world, our nation, and us personally. Last month we thought that we’d still be in school laughing with our friends over a semi-decent hot lunch.
From the time that we were young we were told by our parents, the movies we watched, and by our teachers that senior year was our year. It was the year that we ran the school. It was the year that we were supposed to find the Gabriella to our Troy. It was the year where everything in life was supposed to be perfect. But kicks and giggles hit the fan and it was an incredibly large fan. The thought that our senior prom, our senior year being the captain of our team, being the officer of our club, or...

To the kids that eat lunch by themselves,
Hi, how's your day going? I know you feel as if no one knows you or cares about you, but I do. Sometimes we're just too wrapped up in other things to even acknowledge you. I care about you and dont mind having conversations with you, sometimes we just don't think about it, so help me remember, come talk to me, or anyone. I don't necessarily know what's going on in your life but I do know it must be hard. I'm sorry for the way your lunch time is and I want to change that but it doesn't just happen, it's a process so why don't we start it off?

Dear parents of the high school students:
I’m writing to you to raise the awareness of the online activities of the young generation students , In nowadays there are many obstacles that students in high school are facing to obtain a place in the College or University, in my point of view the negative online activities such as racism and unethical comments consider very crucial and vital when it comes to the admission .
The students in this age their brain is not mature and very vulnerable they do not realize the consequences of their comments, that will determine their future College or University.

An open letter to the parents of high school students.
I am writing to make parents aware of their children online activities. These online activities can hurt student’s academic future and reduce their opportunities to be accepted in colleges.
There are many ways to help children succeed in college. Parents should care about their children. They want to see them succeed. I believe parents should observe their children to keep them out of complicit behaviors.
What parents should do to help their children succeed in college and in life? Parents should ask their children about school and their progress because a lot of students spend most of their time using Social Media. It is necessary that parents monitor their children’s online activity to avoid being...

Think Twice Before You Post
Dear High School Students,
As we all agree, technology is a significant part of our lives and makes a big impact to our lifestyle. We are more connected than ever before; with a click of a button we can start chatting with a friend across the world, get the latest news, or post something. However; with every advancement comes its drawbacks. Our online presence leaves footprints that can be traced easily. If we join an online group, comment in any website or post something online it may have negative consequences. I am writing this letter to bring awareness to this generation that our online activity is traceable and our online actions may have consequences.
In the modern digital world people post or upload millions of different information on millions...
