The Voice: Students express their perspectives on their passions

October 1, 2012 by Haven Nutt and Connor Lyons

Haven Nutt

Senior

I’m very passionate about child abuse and pedophilia. I support the law and its system; as people I just wish there was something else we could do to stand up against it.  At the first sign of child abuse it should be a law that they have to tell somebody and there should be further investigation done. It should be illegal to keep quiet. You can’t take that risk. I hear about people who abuse and rape children and they go to jail for a few years and then they’e out. I think that’s despicable. How can we put them out on the streets when they’re most likely going to do it again?

Connor Lyons

Sophomore

One thing that is extremely important today is the rate of suicide. I think more important than just people taking their own lives, is the treatment of the root of what’s causing that, which is losing hope. I almost feel like the same way we have health checks, maybe there should be emotional or mental exams, otherwise most of the time, depression, anxiety, and all the things we deal with as humans are left un said. Always keeping hope in the lives of individuals is something that’s really important.
