Miners Return to the Site of their Torment

Being that they had spent 69 days stuck in the mine, one would never think that the men would return to the site of their torment with smiles on their faces. On Saturday, October 16th the thirty-three men had returned to the site in order to pray. Their prayers were not in plea of being rescued, but in thanks of their survival. On the down side, there was a protest being held outside of the mine where other miners who were asked to work during the incident were demanding pay.

Bullied to Death?


There was a special on news 7 based on Tyler Clementi's suicide. This document did not only focus on the tragedy of Tyler, but those of the hundred other across America. There were a few people who had not let the tormenting get the best of them and had spoken out against this tragedy. Even bullies had explained why they did what they had done and what they were expecting to get out of it. There was one girl who when in the sixth grade watched a video on youtube called "6 ways to kill Pipper" which displayed graphic cartoons of how her fellow students intended to kill her. Pipper had realized the importance of this issue and began to spread her message of kindness and respect across America. Incidents like such happen every day in every school, and if it does not come to a stop, more students will take their lives.
