Shattered Glass

          I really liked this movie. It was hard to understand at first, but at the end of the movie I started to get it. This movie I thought was very interesting. It made you think about if the articles that a person reads is true or not. Just because an article is entertaining it doesn't mean that it is true. This movie was interesting to see how the journalism world is like and how it is run. I liked how they set everything up in this movie.


       This class was entertaining and very useful, or it will be. I did not mind writing before, but this class made it seem more fun. I think that I am starting to like writing, but after seeing Shattered Glass I do not think that I want to be a journalism. I liked everything that we had to do in this class. I learned how to write in certain formats and ways to make it look good on paper. Thank you Mr. Krebs!

Final Editorial

Walking down the hallway, hidden under their fake smiles and fake laughs many students are dying. From who knows what, fighting a war against the mirror, their family life, their self, and their friends. Who knows, what they actually think, unless they get asked.
Some people think that others that have depression can change the way they think and be better when they want to, which is true for some people not everyone. Some people can sit down and really think why they are depressed and change the way they think in a short amount of time. Other people will take much longer, sometimes never.
Depression can change a person’s life, it can make them do things that they normally do not do. Some of these actions that people do are cutting, eating more than they normally do, eat less than they normally do, unable to sit still, unhappy, cannot sleep well, they have trouble remembering things, or making decisions. These are only some things that people do.
Depression is a serious problem if it does not get noticed. There are people that can hide what they think very well, deep inside them; which is where they hide it the best. People that have depression hide behind fake smiles, never really talk about how they feel, use the excuse saying they do not feel well to not hang out. More than less, people have depression think about suicide.
Knowing that many people may have depression, holding your tongue instead of lashing out on a person may help the person slightly, or more then you think. Depression is a tricky state of mind, giving a complement to a person might save a person from themselves, or even just sitting down and talking to them.
Many students and adults suffer from depression; more people should take this more seriously. A lot of people joke around about depression and do not take their friends seriously; people think it is a joke. It is not a joke whatsoever. Depression is one of the first steps into low self esteem, suicide and many other matters that should also be taken seriously.
