Several teens have left comments on stories on the Circling the News website, not all have been posted.
Please know I am listening. If your comment was not posted, it does not mean it was not heard.
This editor worries about your safety, and feared if I were to post the comment, it might make you a target.
Some of those comments I have shared with the principals at Palisades High School, Paul Revere Middle School and with LAPD. But, your name and email address have been kept anonymous.
This editor is horrified about the intimidation and the beatings that too many males have faced. Equally distressing is the sexual harassment that some females have faced and are facing.
Again, I am listening, and you are brave to share information.
Cowards have taken away your freedom with threats, and through fear. It’s time to take your life back.
Thank you for doing the right thing. With your help, I think a change can be made.
Thank you for listening and giving kids a place to speak freely about their experiences.
These kids are heroes, but it’s going to take our entire community, the teachers, school administrators and the police to get rid of this virus that is festering amongst us. I grew up in a good neighborhood with a significant number of bad people. For the most part, the’ve been in and out of rehab, are in jail or they’re dead. We don’t have the time to wait for whatever fate life brings these pieces of trash. We need to work on disposing of them.
Sue, thank you and please keep hammering away at this issue.
