In a recent practice of mine, my fellow teammate and staff photographer Jace Canfield spoke on a game plan of ours. He said “focus on the little things.”

As cliche as that may sound, this continued to wander through my mind time and time again.

From a lacrosse aspect, we preached this immensely. In order to become that next level program we wanted to be, we focused on the little things such as ground balls, defense and even a better warm up. In retrospect, I realized that doing the little things in my life can have a very positive outcome as well.

Since realizing the importance of this, I started to notice a distinct difference in my life. Personally, appreciating the little things and focusing on something that matters to you is a pivotal aspect to my life. To have an empathetic glimpse on those little

things in your life, it gives perspective to appreciate the things that mean something to you.

With only a few months left of school, I’ve regularly been focusing on these little things. After attending school for years on end with a lot of the same people, you start to realize the impact these people have on you. Whether that’s been good or bad, these little things stick with you for an eternity.

In the grand scheme of everything, having the ability enjoy and acknowledge the little things will take you a long way.

For me, lacrosse has had an extensive impact on my life. Since maturing into the person I am today, appreciating the little things in this sport has largely allowed me to excel. Seeing teammates grow as a player is a truly remarkable feeling because after spending a handful of years with the same people, you start to realize how they’ve helped shape you, on and off the field. At some point in your life there will be things that come to an end. Whether that’s a sport, job, hobby or loved one, appreciating and focusing on those little things in life can ultimately mean the most. •

Middle school splits

Lakeview Middle School splits into two acadamies Written By Claire Tobin, Opinion Editor

After assessing the educational needs of students, the fifth and sixth graders are now going to be separated from the seventh and eighth graders at Lakeview Middle School (LMS).

“We saw the need to make sure that classroom instruction was developmentally appropriate for each grade,” superintendent Blake Prewitt said.

The office will now be split so the fifth and sixth grade office is in the place of the current health center. The seventh and eighth grade office will be where the current office is. To create these small communities, doors will be put in place to separate the two academies.

“We are going to reallocate the funds that we use in the middle school and use a small about of the bonds fund to pay for everything,” Prewitt said.

The elementary style of instruction for the fifth and sixth graders would be them having one teacher and branching out only in their

“

special classes. The seventh and eighth graders, however, will be subject specific like a high school format.

The new fifth and sixth grade principal is Tamara Jamierson, current Westlake Elementary pricipal, and the vice principal is Trudy Stitt, current LMS teacher. For the seventh and eighth grade the vice principal is Michele Lamb.

“I hope that the proposed changes to the instructional structure will assist our students, in a positive way,” Jamierson said, “focusing more on building relationships with their peers, staff and enjoying their learning experiences.”

Policy will not change in regards to the police presence in Lakeview schools.

“We still consider the middle school as one and will be treated as such,” Officer Christopher Kilbourn said, “I am only here to ensure the safety of the students and staff.” •

When assessing the educational needs of our fifth through eighth grade students we needed to make sure the classroom instruction was developmentally appropriate.

7th & 8th Grade Academy Officer Christopher Kilbourn, a Battle Creek Central High School graduate, is now a Battle Creek Area officer.

“I got into the police force because I didn’t like what was going on in the community,” Kilbourn said, “and I wanted to make a difference so I decided to take an active role.”

Kilbourn has been a public servant for the past 15 years. He has been a firefighter, emergency medic and now a police officer, who is serving the Lakeview School District.

It’s Not about guns

It’s about control New gun restrictions in top-selling franchises cause controversy across the country Gun violence has clearly caused a lot of controversy in the country lately due to the number of gun-related instances that have occured, especially in schools, so far in 2018. The number of gunfires on school grounds totaled 18 in just the first three months of this year. Whether the gun fires were accidental or intentional, most people agree that the numbers are too high and there must be something that can be done about it.

Gun restrictions regarding age have been changed within some stores because most of the attackers have been in their

teens. Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods will not sell guns to people under the age of 21, even if they have their gun license. These two stores also ended their sales of assault-style rifles and guns that resemble assault-rifles. These decisions to enforce stricter gun rules were announced two weeks after the school shooting in Parkland, Flor., where 17 people were killed. Gun restrictions may help the problem with gun violence, but controversy hit when some believe it’s the people behind the gun that are the problem.

High school boy attempts to make a difference An 18 year old Pennfield student, and son of the owner of Freedom Firearms, sued Dick’s Sporting Goods because they would not sell him a gun due to a new rule made by the store restricting the sales of firearms to people under the age of 21. Tristin Fulton thinks that the fact of being the son of a gun store owner caused controversy but it also give him the opportunity of claiming his 2nd amendment right.

“I just happen to be in a position that I can do something about it,” Tristin said.

“The Elliott Larsen Act of 1976 discriminates against age, race, religion, and basically any personal trait that you have it prevents any discrimination against them in any business. So if you go to buy a product they cannot tell you you’re not allowed to buy it based on one of those characteristics,” Tristin said.

Going into his experiment, Tristin knew he was the only one who could succeed in the act. Him and his family had a plan behind their actions by having a very supportive lawyer and knowing the rules that go against the restrictions made by these franchises.

The Elliott Larsen Act of 1976 protects the right of people from being discriminated because of their physical characteristics and Tristin believes that

by changing their age restriction to 21, Dick’s Sporting Goods is going against the national gun age limit of 18.

“The argument begins when people wonder why would I need a rifle from Dick’s when I can buy it from my father but obviously that day I didn’t need a rifle I knew their policy and I went there to speak up for the people that can’t,” Tristin said.

The reason behind Tristin’s sueing of Dick’s Sporting Goods was for the equality of adults who should be legally allowed to buy firearms but are not due to recent gun violence around the country. The age restriction to handle a gun is 18 and by making a rule against that is going against that federal law.

“Remove the guns from the issue, if it was anything else, there wouldn’t be a problem,” Jared Fulton, father of Tristin and owner of Freedom Firearms, said. “There is no reason for Dick’s to have done what they did other than just because they wanted to do it for the eye public opinion,” Jared said.

Gun control has created a lot of issues in society recently. The issue being presented is that there had been a lot of gun violence in schools that have caused buisnesses and communitites to worry and take actions that people do not agree with.

“The real issue is I have a kid who can go to war and die for our country, but can’t buy a rifle?” Jared said. “‘Kids’ who are 18 in the military handle weapons much stronger than the firearm Tristin tried to buy. The idea they want to portray is that they want to keep guns out of the hands of kids, but 18 year olds are legally adults.”

Gun control is not an issue that can be solved across the country in just a day. The issue Tristin is addressing is for equality, not for the possession of a gun. The United States is known as the freedom country and by restricting the law to 21, franchises are potentially violating customers’ federal rights.

HALL TALK: Gun Control Laylah Green, senior- “I don’t think there should be stricter laws. People should get background checks but they should be allowed to own guns if they pass the background check. It’s not the issue of the guns; it’s who purchases the guns and that’s what should be changed, not the guns.”

Joe Wood, sophomore- “In relation to current shootings, the main issue is the mental stability and health of the people handling the guns.”

Hannah Keenan, freshman- “There should be more restrictions as far as who gets the guns.”

Kobe Osborn, senior- “There shouldn’t be stricter laws because people already have to take a class to get their license.”

Mackenzie Ryder, senior- “As long as you’re not using them wrong, people should be allowed to own guns. I think we should just be careful who we give them to.”

Chris Bolen, sophomore- “We should be able to have a gun, it’s just what you do with them that should get them taken away.”

Michael Parsons, junior- “Families should be able to choose if they want to have guns in their homes or if they don’t and if they go through the process to get a license they should be allowed to purchase a gun.”

Brennen Holmes, freshman- “We should be allowed to have guns because they keep us safe.” •

ormer Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant continues to be a winner even while he’s retired from basketball. Bryant is a five time NBA champion, two time Olympic gold medalist, was voted most valuable player in the NBA finals awards, is a league VIP member and has just recently swept up an Oscar win.

The brilliant animations of the short film were directed and animated by Glen Keane. The film was first released at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival in April, quickly touching the hearts of all who watched it. The entirety of the film was based upon a poem that Bryant initially wrote to announce his retirement. Bryant became the first NBA played to win an Academy Award, proving that he’s still a star on and off the court.

His song “Shape of You” became the most streamed song on Spotify with over 1.6 billion streams. Sheeran has seen a tremendous amount of success over the years, winning 89 of the 284 awards for which he has been nominated for.

The 2018 Grammys sparked a lot of controversy after singer-songwriter Alessia Cara became one of the only females to receive a major award that night.

Cara became huge in 2016 and 2017 when many of her songs began blowing up. “Stay,” “How Far I’ll Go,” “Scars to Your Beautiful,” and “Here,”are just a few of the chart-topping hits that she’s become known for. It was no surprise when she took home the Best New Artist award that night. However, people quickly realized after the award show how disproportionate the male to female award wins were.

His father brought him Eminem’s new record and Sheeran felt inspired by his abilities, aspiring to be able to talk as quickly as the rapper one day. He ventured into writing his own music and his stuttering problem slowly began to diminish. Sheeran has changed monumentally since then, becoming one of the biggest and most open pop stars in the industry.

“It has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and souls,” Portnow told journalists. “Who want want to be musicians, who wants to be engineers, producers, and want to be part of the industry on the executive level.”

Many viewers took to social media after the broadcast to express how upset they were over the whole arrangement, quickly starting the hashtag “GrammysSoMale” as a tribute to all of the women who they believed should’ve been nominated, but weren’t given the opportunity. • Written By Angel Wachera and Moriah Edwards, Reporter

Rewind Y ur Style

Take your style back in time with these vintage fashion trends Lately, you may have seen a new fashion trend emerging. Clothes from past decades are making a comeback. To some, the word “vintage” might just mean “old” or “used,” but to others, vintage means giving old clothes another chance.

Styles from previous decades are being showcased throughout popular stores, like Forever 21 or H&M, but juniors Haley Johnson and Izzy Hammond have found fun ways to find vintage clothing for less expensive prices. They have not only developed a passion for thrifting, but also a passion for old fashion.

Written By Riley Damore, Reporter and Hannah Tecumseh, Reporter

If you dig the ‘70s, try....

• Bell bottoms • Turtlenecks • Brown suede skirts

If you think the ‘80s are gnarly, try....

• Windbreakers • Scrunchies • High waisted pants

If you think the ‘90s are bangin’, try....

• Your favorite band t-shirt • Fishnet tights • Chunky boots

First-Hand Advice from Second-Hand Shoppers The vintage fashion trend allows you to take a step back into history. Hammond likes that every style comes back around.

She believes that there is a lot more to it than just the ‘vintage style.’ If you want to try this fashion trend, you could easily look at old photographs featuring the decades that you are interested in.

“If you really like the neon trend from the ‘80s but aren’t sure how to wear it, experiment and start small. Look for the things you like and slowly build them up in your wardrobe,” Hammond said.

Vintage clothing can be very easy to find. Hammond and Johnson have made it even easier to find cute and affordable vintage items by selling their local fashion finds online.

“I had a lot of vintage clothes of my own. Also, a lot of people ask me how I find good clothes while thrifting,” Johnson said.

You may even get some compliments on your new and unique pieces of vintage clothing.

“I want other people to appreciate these fun clothes and express themselves in a unique and quirky way without breaking the bank. It’s also very good for the environment to buy used,” Hammond said. •

Music Man Mania The Lakeview High School actors and actresses took center stage on March 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 with the production of “The Music Man.” This dedicated cast and crew came together and displayed their dancing and singing skills.

This play followed the storyline of Harold Hill, a con man who tried to trick the locals to start a band a buy uniforms. Hill then fled the city once he got the money. Then he fell in love with the local music teacher in River City, which stopped him from leaving.

“We had such a great cast this year.

We all worked together really well and The Music Man has been one of my favorite shows,” junior Logan Robertson said.

This blast from the past production was sentimental to the lead director

Lane Gordon who played Winthrop Paroo in his adolescence. “‘The Music Man’ really sucked me into the world of acting and it was really fun to produce this show at Lakeview,” Gordon said.

Saying goodbye to a long time member Long time costume maker Carrie Bliz exits stage right into retirement. Bliz has made the costumes for the LHS theater productions for 11 years.

“It is kind of bittersweet for me because I am sad that I am leaving but ready for the next chapter,” Bliz said.

Bliz has been an instrumental part in the creation of LHS productions from the “Sound of Music” to the “Music Man” and everyone will miss her contributions. • Written By Claire Tobin, Opinion Editor

Limitless in Atlanta

Written By Kirsten Butler, Reporter

Over 4,000 students from all over the state of Michigan came together in Detroit on March 8-11 to compete against each other from the top schools around. Michigan DECA provides the opportunity to meet other members from around the state, and interact with professional business representatives. Students were able to show off their leadership and occupational skills throughout their experience at the SCDC (State Career Development Conference).

Twenty-eight students are now preparing and practicing each day to represent LHS at the 2018 DECA ICDC (International Career Development Conference) in Atlanta on April 21-24. More than 10,000 students will be coming together from all over the world to compete against each other. Students are also getting ready to represent their skills in each area and show off their college level knowledge in DECA’s competitive events including their critical thinking, creativity and much more. DECA brings thousands of students together to not only show off their ideas and represent their skills and their school, but it also prepares them to be “Limitless” wherever their future takes them. Sophomore, Elizabeth Robins, is preparing by presenting to her parents or repeating her presentation.

“My event is Hotel and Lodging, and I’m deciding to widen where my project is based. For States I based it in Detroit, and now I’m trying to get other people from other states to convince people nationally to come to my hotel,” Robins said.

Freshman, Gabby Oursler, is now the second student to ever

go to nationals as an incoming freshman. Oursler is putting in 110 percent into her event, Marketing for Companies, and is now setting herself apart from others to think of more broad and creative ideas.

She believes whether you’re doing a role play or project, you should set aside some time to practice every chance you get.

“Come up with out of the box ideas because that’s what sets you apart from the competition,” Oursler said. “Being creative and confident about what you’re saying to the judges is what helped me be successful.”

Many of the 28 students are doing different projects to impress the judges. Some events that the students are doing include Creative Marketing, Tourism & Hospitality and Professional Selling. Seniors Kayce Bingaman and Jasa West, will compete at ICDC for the first time this year. Whether it’s practicing together at school or at home, they’re always trying to find a way to get some additional work in.

“If we messed up we’d start all over again, and if it were close to the end we’d still decide to restart the enter thing,” Bingaman said.

Although students are preparing for Nationals, they’re not the only ones. Business teachers, Myra Bost and David VanderHorst are always on their feet getting things around to prepare themselves and their students for nationals.

“It’s basically a repeat of last year for states, it’s kind of like that whole concept with sports, practice makes perfect,” VanderHorst said. “The more times you do a role play, the more times you present your project, the more you will be comfortable with it all.” •

Why did you get into teaching?

I started teaching because both of my parents were teachers and they pushed me forward into their profession, especially my father.

After 6 months in accounting I thought in becoming a teacher, but it took me 6 years until I started as a teacher.

After retiring are you going to keep working in your other jobs?

I have rentals in Florida and Marshall and I am going to continue with those. Also I am going to keep working on the racing horses. But the leasing company I have right now is closing this summer.

Do you recommend that other teachers have another job while they are teaching?

If doing one thing makes them happy then that is what they should do.

I did it because I like the variety, my day wasn’t the same all throughtout the week.

Also because becoming a teacher made me take a paycut so if i wanted to retire at an early age I had to do someting else.

But I guess it depends in what they want to achieve, people have to be happy with what they do and I feel pretty good that starting next year being 53 it’s going to be Saturday everyday in my life.

Artists use their talents in and out of school to bring people together

Zach Baker “I thought that a mural would have a greater impact on people because beautiful things can change people,” junior Zach Baker said.

What started as a simple Eagle Scout project quickly became much more. Baker was told to make something that would positively impact a community, so he’s doing it the best way he knows how to: art.

“I’m painting the mural [at Sprout Farms] for my Eagle Scout project.

I’m painting the mural for that project because the project has to do something that impacts the community. I always thought that a mural was a really good way to tie communities together because art is something that connects people,” Baker said. ”It’s a visual form of representation and you can represent anything you want.”

Even though Baker’s mural is supposed to be about everyone in the community, he gets to choose how to portray it.

“I’m thinking that [the mural is] going to be a wall of flowers. If you were to go out into a field and lay on your stomach and be eye level with all these different kinds of flowers, that’s what it would look like.

All the flowers on the mural and a few of the plants are all native to Michigan,” Baker said. ”There’s also a door that I painted that looks like

a Japanese Cherry Blossom tree, because there’s a Japanese cafe in the building and also because we have a pretty big Japanese population that has immigrated from Japan for companies like Denso. We should have something that represents other parts of the community that don’t generally get as much light as they should. I’m trying to shed light on all parts of the community.”

Baker believes that flowers and nature are things that everyone can connect to and understand. People can also create their own meaning behind the mural if it’s understood by everyone.

“I wanted to go with the nature theme because Sprout is farm-based and we live in an area that is kind of nature based as well,” Baker said. ”Everyone sees flowers and I think that everyone can agree that flowers are quite pretty. I felt like the flowers are something anybody can recognize and play a part into. Because it’s just a bunch of flowers up on a wall, I feel like anyone can look at it and take something different away.”

Baker hopes to finish the mural sometime in the spring of 2018. His progress can be viewed at Sprout Farms.

Athena Owens Some art forms need a new canvas to come to life. When senior Athena Owens does henna, she uses the skin of her subjects to make her art pop. She loves the idea of using someone else’s body to make art.

“For me personally, when I have a henna on my hand, I look at it like, ‘wow, I am art.’ I think it makes other people feel like art too,” Owens said.

In the summer of 2016, Owens was invited to do henna at a flea market every month.

While doing this she earned experience and income.

“My first flea market was the summer after sophomore year,” Owens said “I went to a flea market at Timeless Furnishings Antique and Consignment and they just had flea markets every month for the summer, so I

did the first one. After that they let me keep coming back for free because they loved what I did so much.”

While she does offer this service for money, Owens likes the calm doing henna on herself brings. Doing this also allows her to create her own designs and free draw.

“It’s really calming. When I get really stressed out I start shutting down and stuff, but just doodling little doodles really helps.

Sometimes I just mindlessly start drawing to see where it goes, and that’s my favorite.

That way I’m not always comparing it to a picture. Just doing it myself and coming up with my own designs makes it deeper to me,” Owens said.

Doing henna also gives Owens a connection to her culture that she never had.

This is her favorite part of the whole process. ”It’s a part of my culture, which I love,” Owens said “In my family we don’t really do anything that embraces our culture. We love our culture and have things around our house from our culture, but we don’t really celebrate it or do anything within our culture.

So having that connection is really nice. It also makes people so happy. Somebody will just be having a crappy day and then you give them a henna and they’re just in awe of it. It’s a really positive thing for everyone involved.”

Owens is available to do henna. Contact her if this service is wanted through any social media.

Amy Beebe In most cases, art is used to change something. It fixes rundown, broken, or empty space within a community. The b-wing is commonly known as the art hall due to all the fine art classes housed there, so junior Amy Beebe made it look the part with a mural.

“I painted the mural because Mr. Bohl and Mrs. Mathis came to me and said that they would like to continue the theater mural that a previous student had done a couple years before,” Beebe said. “So, we wanted to incorporate the rest of the fine arts into the mural and continue it throughout B-hall.”

Even though all the art classes are in b-wing, the walls in the hall were empty. What seems like it should be a vibrant place is often described as dark and blank.

“B-hall is really dark; there’s not much hanging up and there’s blank walls. We thought it would be a really good place to fill space and brighten up the school,” Beebe said. “I think [the mural] gives the school a little more than just white walls to look at and I think it does unify the arts so that every class in the B-wing is being shown.”

The main theme of the mural is unity. Beebe hopes that her artwork will help push the message of togetherness to passersby.

“I think artistically [the mural] can gain people’s interests. It definitely draws people’s attention, so that could definitely bring us together as a community,” Beebe said. “We’d like to use the mural as sign that we’re all united.” • Written By Ashley Craig, Reporter and Clementine Hutchins, Arts and Entertainment Editor

Vaping: Difficult lesson to learn

I

A look into why vaping has become so popular and the consequences of it

t is an indisputable fact that the popularity of vaping among teens has both swept the nation and even touched down here at Lakeview.

According to the 2016 National Youth Tobacco Sur vey, an estimated 2.39 million high school kids vape and twice as many vape rather than smoke. And based off of the US Surgeon General’s findings, it’s an increase by over 900 percent compared to figures from 2011.

Despite restrictions in almost all states on the purchasing of vapes for minors, this trend is continuing to rise, and loopholes are being used left and right.

This upsurge in vape popularity among teens shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Among all the age demographics, teens and young adults have been targeted specifically and strategically through flavors, included gifts with online purchases, and through the ver y nature of its popularity.

One of the biggest, and perhaps most dangerous tool to target teens is something as simple, yet unseemingly consequential as flavors. Originally, traditional nicotine products only came in a few, ver y non-deferential flavors.

However, with vapes, countless flavors are being made available, typically fruity and candy-like. While this may appear to be a venture into new markets, these particular flavors seem to inherently peak the interest of younger generations, particularly teens.

2x as many boys use vapes than girls

drugabuse.gov

One of the previously mentioned loopholes for teens include purchasing vapes online. And while officials are still tr ying to find a way to combat this loophole, it continues to be a method used to target kids into purchasing their products.

Companies selling vape products include prizes with purchases to incentivize the consumer into buying their merchandise. This marketing technique is strikingly similar to the cereal companies that employ the same concept with prizes in their cereal boxes, used for one thing: to attract the attention of children.

There is also another component to vapings popularity among teens, which is the fact that it was popular in the first place. This rise in popularity itself will ensure the trend continues to rise. It’s simple, teens do what other teens do.

When vaping became the new craze, it was the craze itself that fueled the previously mentioned 900 percent increase in usage. This slight romanticism of vape usage can be inherently dangerous, as it sometimes leaves people blinded to the potential health concerns and future consequences.

T

he overarching concerns for this vaping ‘epidemic’ is with teens’ health. Obviously, as a nicotine product, the addiction and poisoning risks remain relevant. But why is this over whelming popularity being

7 in 10 teens have been exposed to vaping ads drugabuse.gov

coined as an ‘epidemic?’

Right now, health risks concerning vaping aren’t completely understood, especially the long-term consequences.

Aside from the dangers of nicotine, the only other specific problem found with vaping is the potential dangers from the juice, which itself isn’t even largely confirmed.

However, this rise of vaping bears an unmistakable parallel to the concept and crisis of cigarettes. Cigarettes, at their peak, were also once glamorized and trendy for teens. There were even similar concerns of advertising towards kids, involving the infamous cartoon of Joe Camel. Ver y popular for a ver y long time, people had no idea the harm smoking did to their bodies, until they did.

Lung cancer, throat cancer, strokes and a number of other fatal ailments resulted from lifetimes of smoking. The crusade against cigarettes began and they became demonized and outcasted.

America had learned its lesson from smoking. Or has it? Because a review of the past poses a question for the present: are we heading down the same road as we did with cigarettes? Perhaps the term ‘epidemic’ and the legislative combating of vaping is all a preemptive strike against the potential danger vaping could hold. The dilemma for ever yone to consider is, do we take it seriously?

In 2013, nearly 3X as many high school students smoked rather than vaped.

By 2015, almost 2X as many vape than smoke sciencenewsforstudents.org

Hidden in Plain Sight

S

ince the beginning of vapes, there were always distinct characteristics defining a vape, making it very recognizable. However, as vapes are becoming more and more popular among teens and, as a result, more prohibited, vapes currently on the market don’t really look like vapes. Strategically designed to blend in with ordinary objects, these products are causing quite the wave among classrooms.

JUULs, for example, look very similar to flash drives, a not-souncommon item in a classroom setting. Nonetheless, Lakeview administration recognizes these products and are trying to put an end to it. Released in the March newsletter, Lakeview Athletic Director Zachary Stephenson educated and warned parents about the dangers and phenomenon of JUULing specifically. •

Tons of people play multiple sports year round, for competitive teams or simply just for fun. Playing more than just one sport seems to build more confidence, character, teamwork, communication, and responsibility, and also allows you to interact in different environments and with different people.

This shows beyond doubt that there is some truth to the saying “there is no I in team,” because you learn to be more selfless in working together.

It is proven that many skills and techniques transfer from sport to sport.

Picture Perfect

Too much pressure on teens to fit into society’s standards of physical perfection

In today’s society there is too much pressure on teens to have the perfect body.

Body image is how you view your body, and whether you or your peers find you are “attractive” or fit within the image they want you to. A large number of teenagers base their body image off ideas advanced by the media, which judge their attractiveness.

Society’s definition of beauty is constantly changing, especially with all the forms of social media. The pressure for teensto fit this mold instead of being their true unique selves is at an all time high.

There are many things that can People are often times frowned upon if they don’t

meet the standard of perfect.

Society idolizes people who set unrealistic and unhealthy beauty standards. The average women mode is 5’11” and about 120 pounds while the average female is 5’4” and 167 pounds. A lot of the women we are idolizing are not healthy and often times acquire eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia.

According to Model Alliance nearly 32 percent of models suffer from anorexia or other eating disorders and over 65 percent of models have been asked to lose weight by their modeling agency.

What many people do not realize is that not only teenage girls struggle with body image.

Many teenage boys compare themselves to the buff athletes and movie stars they see in the media. Boys often feel dissatisfied if their own bodies don’t measure up to others.

We can not encourage teenagers to strive to fit into such an unhealthy beauty standard, instead we need to learn to support others to feel comfortable in their own skin.

It is important to realize that the perfect body is the body you are happy with and most comfortable in.

As a community we need take action to eliminate the pressure of perfection and learn to accept everyone. It’s crucial to recognize that no one is the same should never be expected to be. • Written By Lacey Campbell, Reporter

Gun Control School shootings are a direct result of easy access to firearms

Pro

Written By Riley Damore, Reporter

Multiple school shootings have not only sparked debate among political leaders, but also brought fear to students. With deadly weapons, such as guns, so readily available, it seems as though anyone can gain access to one. This year’s school shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida has brought awareness to stricter gun laws and how an increase in restrictions on guns will help prevent tragedies like this in the future.

Gun control does not ban guns altogether, but it is necessary in order to limit who can access a gun. Gun violence is a significant issue in the United States. According to Everytown, an organization that supports gun safety, there is an annual average of 12,726 gun-related homicides and a total of 35,141 deaths caused by guns in the United States.

With fewer guns available to the public, the amount of gun-related deaths would decrease in years to come.

The state of Michigan does have several gun control laws. Machine guns and automatic weapons are banned, along with any armor-piercing ammunition. It is also illegal for anyone under the age of 18 to own a firearm.

Still, stricter regulations should be put in place. Many believe that the age limit of 18 needs to be increased to 21. If an individual is not thought to be mature or responsible enough to purchase alcohol, they should not be able to buy a firearm. Since the legal age to buy alcohol is 21, the legal age to buy a gun should be 21as well. Retailers such as Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods have changed their policies, regardless of state law. Now, you must be 21 to purchase a firearm if you visit these stores.

Also, law enforcement should be able to seize weapons from anyone deemed to be unfit to carry a firearm. Of course, there is a Basic Pistol Safety Questionnaire required in order to purchase a firearm in Michigan, but the minimum score one needs to achieve is a 70 percent. This score is fairly low and does not give individuals a proper screening, as it may not be difficult to pass this questionnaire. If law enforcement had the ability to take away weapons from someone who is mentally disabled, or otherwise unfit to carry a gun, there may be fewer cases of gun violence because the guns would be more controlled.

The multiple school shootings that have occurred in the United States have increased awareness of gun control. Public support of gun control is being shown through nationwide school walkouts, which are protesting for more gun restrictions. Congress should take the hint and put more restrictions into place in order to prevent these mass shootings. •

HALL TALK: Pro Gun Control

The rise in awareness of mass shootings has brought up the age old argument of whether stricter gun laws help weed out this tragically common part of American culture, or if making gun laws stricter will make the problem spiral out of control. The answer to the solution isn’t as widely talked about, or even acknowledged by the masses. America’s problems with mass shootings was born from a lack of mental health care.

According to the Los Angelos Times, 59 percent of the 185 mass shootings between 1900 and 2017 have been done by someone who was previously diagnosed with a mental illness, or had presented signs of mental illness before the shooting.

Limiting access to guns for people suffering with these illnesses won’t stop the problem either. Getting people help before they are on the verge of hurting other people would be the smarter and safer idea. On the website mentalillnesspolicy.org, it is estimated that 50 percent of adults with severe psychiatric disorders receive no mental health treatment. With this percentage of adults going untreated, the National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 3.5 million people go without any sort of treatment.

To add to this ongoing and tragic issue, you have to count bullying in the equation. When people are bullied they get isolated and develop more issues. According to stopbullying.gov, 12 in 15 school shooting cases have been done by someone who had been bullied in the past. Not everyone who faces this isolation has the access to the needed mental care, so they retaliate against the people they feel wronged them in the best way they know how: violence. Violent or demining situations only create more violence in the long run.

In this country, the topic of school shootings is almost normalized.

They happen so often that we seem to minimize the problem at times.

This problem won’t be fixed by simply adding a ban on objects. The American way of blaming problems on something else to mask the greater issue needs to change.

If America took the time to realize that mental health care is a necessity, not a privilege, school shootings wouldn’t even be a topic of conversation. The solution to this problem goes deeper than just adding more gun control. Americans need to look deeper at society and realize that the lack of self care is the main root of this issue.

A lot of violence could be avoided by simply taking better care of ourselves. •

Taylor Lepird, junior: “With stricter gun laws, less teens will be able to get ahold of guns.”

HALL TALK: Con Gun Control

Ryth Seiler, sophomore: “Stricter gun laws will cut down the paranoia that people associate with guns because less people will have a chance to get them.”

Aimar Ramirez, sophomore: “Stricter gun laws wouldn’t totally eliminate the right to bear arms, but it would limit the amount of guns getting into the hands of people who are dangerous.”

Charles Philip, senior: “People are the problem, not guns. Mental health is a problem because not enough sytems are in place for it. Mentally ill people don’t have anyone to go to.”

Mykenzie Hassing, senior: “We need gun control, but we need to look at other aspects of the people buying them. Like mental health and violence in their past. Having a mixture of [gun control and stronger mental health care] would be more helpful.”

Mitchell Grosteffon, sophomore: “I don’t think that we need stricter gun laws. You shouldn’t be allowed to have a gun if you have mental health issues.”

Protect Kids, Not Guns Teachers shall have no obligation nor option to have a gun in their classroom Since the horrific school shooting in Parkland, Flor., at the forefront of safety concerns has been the controversial concept of arming teachers. There is no doubt in my mind that teachers should never be armed with guns. Many people argue the fact of following this demoralizing incident with a direct act of precautions. I agree with furthering our safety precautions. However, arming teachers with guns is not the answer to protecting our students.

In the recent Feb. 14 shooting at Stoneman Douglas High School, 17 innocent lives were taken by an active shooter who entered the school and fired over onehundred rounds from an AR-15. The nineteenyear-old, Nikolas Cruz, faced 17 accounts of premeditated murder.

Of course, this shooting has caused an abundance of controversial discussions.

Whether it’s been the discussion around banning weapons, mental health issues or stricter background checks, the arming of teachers is not an ethical decision.

To put into perspective, arming our teachers wouldn’t be a discussion if we put money and regulations into the banning of semi/fully automatic weapons and stricter

background checks. In a larger sense, I think of it as a chain reaction. When we don’t uphold these basic standards to protect citizens, incidents of mass shootings follow as such.

Increasingly, this wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the NRA. I respect the efforts made to protect citizens second amendment rights. However, the corruption that the NRA has uplifted is unavoidable. Keep in mind, these restrictions and background checks have bipartisan support, but when it comes down to it we have an organization that makes up of 6 percent of the population who are preventing any legislation from being passed. It’s truly disheartening to see that money plays a bigger role than the majority in our government than those who are supposed to represent us.

In regards to a previous article I wrote (Give Them a Raise) I addressed why I believe our teachers deserve a better wage.

In addition to this, teachers are clearly not paid enough to start, so why are we striving to put them in a situation to kill? As shown in the graphic, 62 staff members here at Lakeview were surveyed.

We can clearly see that even our own

teachers wouldn’t be comfortable having a gun in their classroom. It’s nothing less than unethical to put our teachers in such a distressing position. For the last time, more guns is not the answer to preventing mass shootings. In fact, according to Paste Magazine, states with more guns have more accidental deaths, suicides and homicides.

There is also an abundance of liability issues through this act.

As far as cost goes, people have continually argued the money aspect of this. They often say arming teachers saves a significant amount of money. Although this may be true, you cannot put a price tag on our children and if it takes paying two-four guards to protect students and faculty, then that’s what it takes.

Many people have continuously argued the protection aspect of kids which is totally understandable and reasonable. However, put yourself in that situation and think about shooting a real gun at a real human being.

In reality, there’s better ways to protect our kids in school. Arming our teachers with guns is unethical and preposterous. Afterall, would you feel comfortable taking that shot? • Written By Jerry Haadsma, Editor-in-Chief
