ETIQUETTE ETIQUETTE HALL HALLWAY WAY

Ilse Dirkschneider Staff Writer

With construction of the new CTE wing and remodeling in full swing, students and faculty knew they would be walking into school where there would be closed areas of the school. Even though students acclimated to the abrupt changes of last year’s hallway closures, no one expected the amount of hallway traffic jams that came with the remodeling.

Students may jump to conclusions when it is about the crowded hallways. Senior Destaney Jindra believes the extra amount of freshmen are the cause of the problem.

The hallways are either a disaster or a standstill jam. Many students walk extremely slow, and others walk on the “wrong side” of the hallway. Others stop suddenly or push and shove others. Trying to exit a classroom is like playing a game of Crossy Road.

Both students and teachers are frustrated with the current situation. Students are unable to walk to class in a timely manner, and many teachers have to wait for students who arrive to class late.

Clearly, the current situation is less than ideal and can’t be remedied overnight. Yet, this situation can be improved if students follow basic hallway etiquette.

Hallways should have simple rules

“What upsets me the most about hallway traffic is that we get more and more freshmen every year,” Jindra said. “Everyone chooses to walk really slow. We only have seven minutes to get to each class, which is okay until we only have like two hallways to go around the entire school. If people would walk on the right side of the hallway, it could be a lot more smooth running as well.”

“While I think the construction makes things hard, maybe it would be a better system if they [administration] let the students who don’t know their way around the high school out a little earlier, so they can find where they need to go. Then the students who know their way around at normal time,” senior Willow Mccabe said. “The high school should be better at setting up routes for the news students especially with the new freshman class.”

similar to the road. For instance, staying on the right side of the hallway, keeping a persistent pace and not stop for a break in the middle of the hallway are basic regulations needed to keep a consistent flow.

Students need to make intentional changes as well. Walk on the right side of the hallway, keep a consistent pace, do not stop randomly and check their surroundings. Every student is trying to get to class on time, by having a basic understanding of “hallway etiquette,” the hallways will stay clear and move more smoothly.

INVADES INVADES GOVERNMENT INVADES TEEN

Most teenagers do not pay any attention to bills and laws being created for them. Some current policies on the floor might impact teenagers in various parts of the country.

Senator Brian Schatz of Hawaii, Tom Cotton of Arkansas, Chris Murphy of Connecticut, and Katie Britt of Alaska, has recently backed a new bill called, “Protecting Kids on Social Media Act,” which would require an age limit to be set on many social media apps. This bill only allows kids 13+ on social media and teenagers between the ages of 13-17 needing parental consent to use social media.

Laws in Utah would allow parent access to their teenagers’ private online messages, no matter who may pay for the electronic service. Since this could lead to dangerous situations for teens who suffer from domestic abuse this has raised concerns for teenagers online concerning home safety.

On the other end of the spectrum social media has also helped domestic violence victims by being a resource to victims and receiving advice from those who have also experienced domestic abuse. Professionals who are equipped to help victims have also used social media to help those in need.

SOCIAL MEDIA SOCIAL MEDIA SOCIAL MEDIA

A closer look at social media laws

Still, parents have raised concerns about their teens’ online activity. According to the Consumer News and Business Channel (CNBC), parents have reported feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to keep their teens safe online. Social media apps teenagers use can be confusing for parents to navigate.

The CNBC also says, “In addition to parental consent to use social media, the bill requires such companies to ‘take reasonable steps beyond merely requiring attestation’ to verify users’ ages.”

What these “reasonable steps” are is highly debated. One solution would be to upgrade or make a new age verification system. The commerce department has searched for new ways to make the system more efficient, by using electronic documents of adults and their correlation to minors, which would not allow teenagers to make accounts under their own name.

Though the verification system would be hard to achieve without government official documents, which raises concerns about the privacy of U.S. citizens. According to CNBC, Netchoice, a tech industry group, released a statement that said it,

“would require massive, widespread data collection and retention, undermining Americans’ privacy and security. It would also deprive parents of their constitutional right to make decisions about what’s best for their kids online.”

Another California law, AB 2273, is aimed to help protect children and teenagers’ privacy online and their data. California Governor Gavin Newsom said, “We’re taking aggressive action in California to protect the health and wellbeing of our kids. It upholds social media platforms to have easy access to resources and any information, terms of services, and community guidelines that the platform might entail, for each childuser.” AB 2273 will hold social media companies accountable for their platform and helping the children that use it.

Even though not all is solved when it comes to the problems of online safety in teenagers and children. There are still many concerning mental health, wellbeing, and social problems that are presently concerning about social media, these initiatives gives many parents hope for safer online platforms for their children.

Many people think that the American dream is all wonders. However, many times this dream can turn into a nightmare. Maximiliano Carranza is a perfect example.

A trip from Honduras to the soon to be “American Dream” suddenly turned into absolute horror for the Carranza family.

“In Honduras, family is the most

important thing, but not for me. We fought a lot in our family. It was not my main focus,” Carranza said. While living in Honduras, Carranza’s life was not so perfect so he decided to come to the United States with his mother, Maricela Carranza.

On Feb. 10, 2022, Carranza began his trip. He did not know what was waiting for him.

“First, I crossed Guatemala in four days. In about two more days, I arrived in Monterrey, Mexico with my mother,” Carranza said.

For the next three weeks the Carranza family stayed in Monterrey. At the end of the three weeks the Carranaza family was moved into a house on the United States-Mexico border.

In this house, there were 25 other illegal immigrants. The house was next to a mechanical workshop.Since they were considered illegal, everyone in the house had to be silent. If a single word was heard by the neighbors, the household would be turned into the Mexican government, and horrible consequences would occur.

The next Tuesday, Carranza tried to cross the border into the United States by hiring a guide of Mexican workers to smuggle them across.

“The river was very frozen and the guides crossed us in groups,” Carranza said.

When Carranza’s group reached the other side of the river, the border patrol grabbed them and transferred them into a human sized kennel to a border center located in Eagle Pass, Texas. In the border control center, they had rooms called “Ice Boxes.”

These Ice Boxes consisted of very tiny rooms crowded with people, no mattresses and only a foil blanket to sleep with. Sometimes peoples lips and faces would turn completely blue due

to cold temperatures. Carranza’s group lived here for three days.

Later they were removed and deported to Mexico.

“They gave us our things and they threw us off a bridge like we were dogs,” Carranza said.

Once they all arrived in Mexico, a group of Christians picked them up to take them to a border guide.

When the guide picked them up, it was already 9 p.m. The guide took them to the same house they had lived in previously. However, this time there were 62 people in the house. Once they arrived, they discovered that the heating in the house was completely ruined. During the day, it would get very hot due to the amount of people living there.

The next day, Carranza had a talk with his mother. There was an opportunity for Carranza to cross the border on his own. At the time, the United States government was accepting minors, but not their parents. His mother agreed, so Carranza took the needed courage and separated from his mother to try to cross on his own. Therefore he crossed the river alone and turned into migration for the second time.

“It’s time to venture out alone,” Carranza said. “My mother accompanied me to the river and there my world fell apart because I separated from her.”

After this, Carranza never heard from his mother again.

“When you want to pursue your dreams and you want to help your family, many times you have to make sacrifices,” Carranza said. “When crossing the border there are many scary things that can happen. However, the outcome will be worth it.”

the border, I returned to the Ice Box, filled out some paperwork, and then they moved me to a shelter that looks like a giant prison camp. In this camp there were 968 more children. I was there for more than 45 days without seeing the light of the sun. I only knew the time because I asked someone on the staff,” Carranza said.

Carranza was not allowed to call his family until the 46th day of the immigration process. That day he was able to speak with his family and they told him that he was going to leave the shelter the next day.

As time went by, the number of people in the camp increased. When this happened, they reduced the food to all the children. As he was leaving the camp, he found a friend he met back at the house he used to live in. Carranza believed that he would never meet his family or friends ever again.

Carranza then learned some new information about his mother. Carranza’s mother finally got to cross the border, however, she had to walk across a desert. Carranza was extremely excited to hopefully see his mother again.

Carranza told us about some of the many experiences he had after crossing the border. “After crossing

On the way to the new unknown location, Carranza could not stop thinking about meeting his mother again. He said that this place where they stopped looked like a jail, but he did not know why he was getting put into a jail. He soon found out he was put into an unused former jail due to the fact his other camp was too full.

When Carranza arrived at the shelter, he was quarantined for a month because he tested positive for COVID-19. Guards took him out and put him into an isolated area for a week. After the week-long wait, he was finally ready to leave.

Instead of staying at the shelter, Carranza was ready to be transported into the United States. A flight was scheduled and Carranza waited for the next few hours.

Carranza was a little scared of what was going to happen next. Carranza really wanted to see his mother again. He left the shelter at around 5 p.m. and they prayed together and then finally arrived at the airport at 9 p.m.

“I took two flights to Tennessee, they

delivered me to my aunt and that’s where I met the American dream,” Carranza said.

Carranza felt a sense of relief after being locked up in the immigration centers, he was finally free. However, Carranza was unaware of the idea that there was more to come.

Not even a day later Carranza started working in a construction company. While working Carranza got updates on his mother. She was safe and was located just off the border of the United States.

Carranza’s mother started her journey a few days later. Not even three days into the trip, Carranza’s mother touched a deadly plant.

“My mother had touched a poisonous plant and she couldn’t walk and since she couldn’t walk then the other people left her dumped in the desert,” Carranza said.

She arrived in the United States at the border control center. She was put into a house full of other illegal immigrants. Soon, a neighbor realized that there was a suspicious amount of people living in the house.

“Workers” from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E) broke into their home and denounced them and were sending them back to the “Ice Boxes.” Fear had risen within the home, however, they didn’t know the people who took them were not actually a part of I.C.E.

“As they had promised, they released my mother. A family friend who lives in Mexico received her at his house and my mother was in very bad shape,” Carranza said.

After paying the ransom, Carranza and his family were in a large amount of debt. Carranza took two more extra jobs to help provide for his family.

One day, Carranza’s mother had to return back to their home country. The journey was completely restarted from the beginning. Carranza’s little brother became very ill and needed his mother to care for him. There were no doctors or anyone else to help, this was the only option.

When his mother returned to Honduras, Carranza continued living with his aunt. “At first it was great, but soon my aunt began to misbehave. She started to drink every day and she wouldn’t let me go to work,” Carranza said. “She wanted me to drive her everywhere all the time and soon he and her husband started to abuse me verbally.”

threw me out on the street and I had to sleep on the streets for a few days. I called a friend and told him about my situation and he told me that there was someone in Nebraska who could help me.”

Carranza decided to come live in Nebraska. He was adopted by a new family and continues to live a new and healthy lifestyle.

“No one here mistreats me. Now I’m studying and doing my best to learn the English language,” Carranza said.

Carranza has decided to turn his life around for the better and use his past to motivate those around him and spread awareness about the court immigration process.

“The people who had grabbed my mother were not people from the I.C.E. They were killers, they are very bad people,” Carranza said. “It felt like the world came crashing down on me when I heard the news.”

The following weeks, Carranza fell into a state of depression. He had no desire to work or interact with the outside world.

A few weeks later, the agents called Carranza and his aunt asking for a ransom payment. Agents made a deal with Carranza. If Carranza paid them $10,000, his mother would be set free.

Carranza was willing to risk it all. He worked extra hard for the money and eventually he had enough to withdraw the $10,000.

Due to Carranza working multiple jobs, he had over $10,000 saved up. Carranza came home from work one day to a large amount of money being stolen from him by his aunt. This was the day everything went wrong.

If everything was already going wrong, this is where the real story starts.

“This time they physically abused me. My aunt hit me on the head. Her husband started to hit me too. Everyday after they came home from work, it got worse,” Carranza said. “Eventually they

“Today I am still fighting for my life because it is not easy to be away from my family. If I had to give advice to any young immigrants and just young people in general, it is to be strong,” Carranza said. “Every moment of pain is worth everything to live a life

full of glory. Life is going to throw obstacles at you, and you need to learn how to battle them.”

Muchas personas piensan que el sueño americano es solo maravillas. Sin embargo, muchas veces este sueño puede convertirse en una pesadilla. La historia de Maximiliano Carranza es un ejemplo perfecto.

Un viaje desde Honduras al que pronto sería el “sueño americano” de repente se convirtió en un horror absoluto para la familia Carranza.

Maximiliano Carranza comparte su experiencia viajando desde su país a Estados Unidos.Para proteger la identidad y privacidad de este estudiante, los nombres y lugares pueden haber sido cambiados.

“En Honduras la familia es lo más importante, pero conmigo no. Peleábamos mucho en nuestra familia. No era mi enfoque principal,” dijo Carranza. Mientras vivía en Honduras, la vida de Carranza no era tan perfecta por lo que decidió venir a los Estados Unidos con su madre, Maricela Carranza.

El 10 de febrero del año 2022 Carranza inició su viaje. No sabía lo que le

esperaba.

“Primero crucé Guatemala en cuatro días. Como en dos días más llegué a Monterrey con mi mamá,” dijo Carranza.

Durante las siguientes tres semanas, la familia Carranza se quedó en Monterrey, México. Al final de las tres semanas, la familia Carranza fue trasladada a una casa en la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México.

vivió aquí durante tres días.

Posteriormente fueron sacados y deportados a México.

“Nos dieron nuestras cosas y nos tiraron en el puente de la frontera como si fuéramos perros,” dijo Carranza.

Una vez que llegaron todos a México, un grupo de cristianos los ayudó para encontrar a un guía fronterizo.

“Después de cruzar la frontera, regresé a la Hielera, llené algunos documentos y luego me trasladaron a un refugio que se parecía a un campo de prisioneros gigante. En este campamento había 968 niños más. Estuve allí más de 45 días sin ver la luz del sol. Solo sabía la hora porque le pregunté a alguien del personal,” dijo Carranza.

En esta casa había otras 25 personas. La casa estaba al lado de un taller mecánico. Como eran considerados inmigrantes ilegales, todos en la casa tenían que guardar silencio. Si los vecinos escuchaban una sola palabra, la casa sería entregada al gobierno mexicano y ocurrirían horribles consecuencias.

El martes siguiente, Carranza intentó cruzar la frontera.

“El río estaba muy congelado y nos cruzaban en grupos,” dijo Carranza.

Cuando el grupo de Carranza llegó al otro lado del río, la patrulla fronteriza los agarró y los transfirió a una perrera de tamaño humano a un centro fronterizo ubicado en Eagle Pass, Texas. En el centro de control fronterizo tenían habitaciones llamadas “Hieleras”.

Estas hieleras consistían en habitaciones muy pequeñas llenas de gente, sin colchones y solo con una manta de aluminio para dormir. A veces, los labios y las caras de las personas se volvían completamente azules debido a las bajas temperaturas. El grupo de Carranza

Cuando el guía los recogió, ya eran las 9 de la noche. El guía los llevó a la misma casa en la que habían vivido anteriormente. Sin embargo, esta vez había 62 personas en la casa. Una vez que llegaron, descubrieron que la calefacción de la casa estaba com- pletamente arruinada. Durante el día hacía mucho calor debido a la cantidad de gente que vivía allí.

Al día siguiente Carranza tuvo una charla con su madre. Carranza tuvo la oportunidad de cruzar la frontera por su cuenta. En ese momento, el gobierno de los Estados Unidos aceptaba menores, pero no a sus padres. Su madre estuvo de acuerdo, por lo que Carranza tomó el coraje necesario y se separó de su madre para intentar cruzar por su cuenta. Por lo tanto, cruzó el río solo y se entregó a migración por segunda vez.

“Es hora de aventurarse solo,” dijo Carranza. “Mi mamá me acompañó al río y ahí se me vino abajo el mundo porque me separé de ella,” dijo Carranza.

Después de esto, Carranza nunca más volvió a saber de su madre.

“Cuándo quieres perseguir tus sueños y quieres ayudar a tu familia, muchas veces tienes que hacer sacrificios,” dijo Carranza.

“Cuándo quieres perseguir tus sueños y quieres ayudar a tu familia, muchas veces tienes que hacer sacrificios,” dijo Carranza. “Al cruzar la frontera, pueden pasar muchas cosas aterradoras. Sin embargo, el resultado valdrá la pena.”

Carranza nos contó algunas de las muchas experiencias que tuvo después de cruzar la frontera.

A Carranza no se le permitió llamar a su familia hasta el día 46 del proceso migratorio. Ese día pudo hablar con su familia y le dijeron que al día siguiente se iría del albergue.

Con el paso del tiempo, el número de personas en el campamento aumentó. Cuando esto sucedió, redujeron la comida a todos los niños. Cuando salía del campamento, encontró a un amigo que conoció en la casa en la que solía vivir. Carranza creía que nunca volvería a encontrarse con su familia o amigos.

Carranza supo entonces algunos datos nuevos sobre su madre. La madre de Carranza finalmente logró cruzar la frontera, sin embargo, tuvo que caminar por un desierto. Carranza estaba extremadamente emocionado de volver a ver a su madre.

De camino a la nueva ubicación desconocida, Carranza no

dejaba de pensar en reencontrarse con su madre. De repente el autobús se paró. Dijo que este lugar donde se detuvieron parecía una cárcel, pero no sabía por qué lo metían en una cárcel. Pronto descubrió que lo pusieron en una antigua cárcel sin usar debido a que su otro campamento estaba demasiado lleno.

Cuando Carranza llegó al albergue, estuvo un mes en cuarentena porque dio positivo por COVID-19. Los guardias lo sacaron y lo pusieron en un área aislada durante una semana. Después de la espera de una semana, finalmente estaba listo para irse.

Esta vez no iba a quedarse en el refugio, Carranza estaba listo para ser transportado a los Estados Unidos, con su familia. Se programó un vuelo y Carranza esperó las próximas horas.

Carranza estaba un poco asustado por lo que iba a pasar a continuación. Carranza tenía muchas ganas de volver a ver a su madre. Salió del refugio alrededor de las 5 p.m. y oraron juntos y finalmente llegaron al aeropuerto a las 9 p.m.

“Tomé dos vuelos a Tennessee, me en-

tregaron a mi tía y ahí conocí el sueño americano”, dijo Carranza.

Carranza sintió una sensación de alivio después de estar encerrado en los centros de inmigración, finalmente fue libre. Sin embargo, Carranza desconocía lo que había por venir.

La madre de Carranza inició su viaje unos días después. Ni siquiera tres días después del viaje, la madre de Carranza tocó una planta mortal.

Un día después Carranza empezó a trabajar en una compañía de construcción. Mientras trabajaba, Carranza recibe actualizaciones sobre su madre. Estaba a salvo y se encontraba justo al lado de la frontera de los Estados Unidos.

“Mi madre había tocado una planta venenosa y no podía caminar y como no podía caminar, las otras personas la dejaron tirada en el desierto,” dijo Carranza.

Llegó a Estados Unidos al centro de control fronterizo. La pusieron en una casa llena de otros inmigrantes ilegales. Pronto, un vecino se dio cuenta de que había una cantidad sospechosa de personas viviendo en la casa.

El Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (I.C.E) los denunció y los enviaron de regreso a la “Hielera”. El miedo había aumentado dentro de la casa, sin embargo, no sabían que las personas que se los llevaron eran los agentes principales de ICE.

“Las personas que habían agarrado a mi

mamá no eran gente del I.C.E. Eran asesinos, son gente muy mala,” dijo Carranza. “Sentí como si el mundo se me derrumbara cuando escuché la noticia.”

Las siguientes semanas, Carranza cayó en un estado de depresión. No tenía ningún deseo de trabajar o interactuar con el mundo exterior.

Unas semanas después, los agentes llamaron a Carranza y a su tía para pedirles el pago de un rescate. Los agentes hicieron un trato con Carranza. Si Carranza les pagaba $10,000, su madre sería liberada.

Carranza estaba dispuesto a arriesgarlo todo. Trabajó muy duro por el dinero y finalmente tuvo suficiente para pagar los $10,000.

“Como habían prometido, liberaron a mi madre.

Un amigo de la familia que vive en México la recibió en su casa y mi mamá estaba muy mal,” dijo Carranza.

Después de pagar el rescate, Carranza y su familia tenían una gran deuda. Carranza tomó dos trabajos adicionales más para ayudar a mantener a su familia.

Un día, la madre de Carranza tuvo que regresar a su país de origen. El viaje se reinició completamente desde el principio. El hermanito de Carranza enfermó gravemente y necesitaba que su madre lo cuidara. No había médicos ni nadie más para ayudar, esta era la única opción.

Cuando su madre regresó a Honduras, Carranza siguió viviendo con su tía. “Al principio fue genial, pero pronto mi tía empezó a portarse mal. Empezó a beber todos los días y no me dejaba ir a trabajar,” dijo Carranza. “Ella quería que la llevara a todas partes todo el tiempo y pronto él y su esposo comenzaron a abusar de mí verbalmente,”

Debido a que Carranza tenía varios trabajos, tenía ahorrados más de $10,000. Carranza llegó a casa del trabajo un día y su tía le robó una gran cantidad de dinero. Este fue el día en que todo salió mal.

Si todo ya iba mal, aquí es donde comienza la verdadera historia.

“Esta vez abusaron físicamente de mí. Mi tía me golpeó en la cabeza. Su marido empezó a pegarme también. Todos los días después de que volvían a casa del trabajo, empeoraba,” dijo Carranza. “Al final me echaron a la calle y tuve que dormir en la calle unos días. Llamé a un amigo y le conté mi situación y me dijo que había alguien en Nebraska que

podía ayudarme.”

Carranza decidió venir a vivir a Nebraska. Fue adoptado por una nueva familia y continúa viviendo un estilo de vida nuevo y saludable.

“Aquí nadie me maltrata. Ahora estoy estudiando y haciendo mi mejor esfuerzo para aprender el idioma inglés,” dijo Carranza.

Carranza ha decidido cambiar su vida para mejor y usar su pasado para motivar a quienes lo rodean y crear conciencia sobre el proceso judicial de inmigración.

“Hoy sigo luchando por mi vida porque no es fácil estar lejos de mi familia. Si tuviera que dar un consejo a cualquier joven inmigrante o a los jóvenes en general, es que sean fuertes,” dijo Carranza. “Cada momento de dolor vale todo para vivir una vida llena de gloria. La vida te va a poner obstáculos y tienes que aprender a luchar contra ellos.”

The rise in suicide

Vincent Murad Business Manager

InThe United States of America, September has been Suicide Prevention Month since 2008. Americans use September as a month to educate people about this stigmatized subject. Awareness efforts attempt to provide hope and important information to people affected by suicide and change public perceptions. Sadly, the rise of suicide has yet to halt.

Firearms are used in half of all suicide deaths; for every five deaths by firearms three of the deaths are suicide. Suicide by firearm is almost always deadly: nine out of ten firearm suicide attempts result in death. Every day, 64 Americans die by firearm suicide. That is one person every 22 minutes. In 2019, 23,941 Americans died by firearm suicide, according to

preventfirearmsuicide.org.

Today suicidal tendencies are considered a disease. The eleventh most common cause of death amongst Americans is suicide. Over 49,449 people took their own lives in 2022 and 48,183 in 2021, 1.70 million people attempted to take their own lives across the globe in 2021, the daily suicide rate is 132. Men die by suicide 3.9 times more than women. The highest suicide rate is among middle-aged white men.

Pivoting off these statistics, men are generally encouraged to not ask for help. Boys don’t cry, man up. This stance was brought to the public after fighter Paddy Pimblett opened up about his stance on men’s mental health and suicide.

“A couple of days ago I got a call that one of my friends back home took their life, so Ricky this fight is dedicated to you,” Pimblett said, at UGC fight in June 2022. “There is a stigma in this world that men can’t talk, if you’re a man and you got weight on your shoulders and the only way you think you can solve this is by killing yourself, please speak to someone, speak to anyone. I would rather have my friend cry on my shoulder, than go to his funeral next week.”

With these statistics in mind, a very important question arises: Is suicide really preventable?

“Sucide is preventable if a person has a good support system,” Fremont High School’s psychologist Juile Gildow said. “But some people are just so

Data from afsp.org

desperate they don’t see any other way to deal with it. It takes a village to raise a child; kids and adults need their village to support them and to listen to them.”

In addition to Gildow’s statement, Fremont High School’s social worker Shayla Linn explained that many people do not know how to ask for resources to help them with poor mental health and suicidal thoughts.

“For the most part yes, I do feel like suicide can be prevented if a person is connected to all the right resources and has support around them,” Linn said. “If those two things aren’t in place, then I feel like it is very difficult to prevent. I do feel like the

resources are out there, such as therapy, medication, or support groups, but a person has to find that deep within themselves to ask for resources.”

Along with these practices, some people also resort to support animals.

“There are emotional support animals or comfort dogs,” Linn said. “In our community, there is Katie Comfort Dog who can provide therapeutic dogs for children. There’s a lot of research on therapy animals and support animals that show that dopamine levels rise in the brain by just petting an animal.”

“I think there are preventions that can go in place to get help

for mental health for people, but sometimes I think if a person’s dead set on doing it, it is really hard to stop them, especially if there’s no resources available to them,” Fremont High School English teacher and former social worker Jennifer Ramsey said.

Even though a variety resources are available suicide has been on the rise, and according to professionals, if you feel suicidal you should reach out to a trusted person, contact a loved one or call or text the Anonymous Suicide Hotline at 988 for help if you are ever considering Harming yourself, help is out there.

Statistics show that suicide rates are rising therefore, suicide Awareness is an important topic and should not be confined to one month.

¿Por qué ellos?

Jaime Ortega Castro Editor en Español

Cada nuevo comienzo tiene cambios, algunos son grandes y otros pequeños. La escuela secundaria de Fremont está pasando por muchos cambios al empezar este nuevo año escolar. Algunos de los cambios más notorios son las nuevas instalaciones y el personal docente, pero ¿por qué ellos fueron elegidos para ser los nuevos maestros?

Todas las personas tienen algo especial que los caracteriza, por ejemplo: su pasión por la enseñanza.

“Enseñar y compartir el idioma que he adquirido en Las Filipinas es mi pasión. La educación es realmente agradable porque puedo compartir mi conocimiento sobre cómo adquirir un idioma diferente que es el inglés,” dijo Pink Isidro.

“Me encanta el español, es mi lengua materna. Creo que es muy útil para ustedes como estudiantes aprender en esta nueva generación. Deberían aprender español porque les abrirá muchas puertas,” dijo Gumbs-Parrilla.

Los maestros pueden ser elegidos del grupo por su forma específica y única de enseñar. “Uso el enfoque que mis maestros han utilizado en Las Filipinas, que implica no traducción en absoluto cuando enseñas un idioma, porque cuando enseñas un idioma tienes que hacer emerger a los estudiantes en el idioma, incluso si tienes que expresar de la misma manera las palabras que está diciendo o usar imágenes que podrían ser muy útiles”, dijo Keziah Cabornay.

La visión de la Escuela Secundaria Fremont, es que existan altos estándares en la educación brindada por el personal docente con o sin experiencia previa en educación en Fremont o en general. La escuela espera que los nuevos profesores sean de

ayuda y apoyo tanto para los estudiantes de habla hispana como para los de habla inglesa.

En los años escolares

2021-2023 había muchos desafíos en la secundaria con los estudiantes del programa ELL, porque la escuela no tenía los recursos necesarios para ayudarlos. Los maestros no eran suficientes para poder apoyar a los estudiantes recién llegados, incluso había niños en una lista de espera porque la escuela no contaba con espacio suficiente para brindarles la atención que necesitan y merecen.

En el año escolar 2023-2024 se espera que esto no vuelva a suceder. Para solucionar este problema, la escuela secundaria optó por contratar a tres nuevos profesores de Filipinas, que ayudarán a los niños.

Entre los nuevos catedráticos del programa ELL, tenemos a la maestra Isidro, ella está casada y tiene cuatro niños. Isidro está aquí trabajando para hacer su sueño realidad, el cual es ser un maestro internacional. Otros de los nuevos catedráticos de la escuela son: la maestra Cabornay, Mansueto, Gonzalez y Graham.

A new and upcoming discovery, “Anthrobots”: tiny robots are now capable of living inside humans

Annabelle Bignell Editor-in-chief

With just a few hundred cells, scientists have made a ground-breaking discovery in tissue regeneration and personalized medicine.

Researchers and scientists at Tufts University have found a way to fuse tracheal and neural tissue, enabling them to transform into robotics. This remarkable breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the field of medicine and pave the way for exciting new developments in the future.

By creating “Anthrobots” or tiny robots made with biological materials, which can range in size from the width of a human hair to the tip of a sharpened pencil, a significant milestone in the field of medicine is marked complete.

In addition to providing disease treatment and healing, Anthrobot services are specifically tailored to each patient for optimal results.

In the current study published in Advanced Science, Levin and Gumuskaya demonstrated that bots constructed from adult human cells have capabilities beyond those observed in the Xenobots. This study also revealed that biological robots can be created using adult human cells without any genetic modification.

“We wanted to probe what cells can do besides create default features in the body,” Gumuskaya said in an interview with Tufts Now. “By reprogramming interactions between cells, new multicellular structures can be created, analogous to the way stone and brick can be arranged into different structural elements like walls, archways or columns.”

In research that builds on earlier investigations by Michael Levin and Gizem Gumuskaya, a new study has found that it is possible to create biological robots using adult human cells without any genetic modification.

The previous research had successfully created Xenobots, which were multicellular biological robots from frog embryo cells and were capable of performing various functions such as recording information, replicating cycles on their own, healing themselves from injury and even navigating passageways and collecting material. However, researchers were not sure if these abilities were specific to the amphibian embryoderived cells or if they could be replicated with cells from other species.

Levin and Gumuskaya discovered that the cells could not only generate innovative shapes of multicellular structures but also move in diverse ways over a layer of human neurons cultivated in a laboratory dish.

It was also noticed that the bots were able to stimulate new growth to fill in the gaps caused by scratching the neuronal cell layer. However, the method by which these bots promote neuron growth is yet to be determined. Although researchers verified that neurons grew beneath the area covered by a group of Anthrobots, referred to as a “superbot.”

“The cellular assemblies we construct in the lab can have capabilities that go beyond what they do in the body,” Levin said in an interview with Tufts Now. “It is fascinating and completely unexpected that normal patient tracheal cells, without modifying their DNA, can move on their own and encourage neuron growth across a region of damage.”

In the future, Levin, Gumuskaya and their team believe that Anthrobots created from a patient’s tissue could be utilized to clear arteries, dissolve mucus or administer medications, with or without genetic engineering. No matter which procedure these Anthrobots are used for in the future, the new outlook in medicine seems to only go up from here.

RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE CASEY MCQUISTON

From Amazon: When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius―his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There’s only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./ British relations take a turn for the worse.

MIMI’S TALES OF TERROR JUNJI ITO

From Amazon: University student Mimi and her boyfriend Naoto encounter one chilling mystery after another. There’s the enigmatic neighbor woman dressed in black from head to toe—but if she’s so odd, why does it seems like there are many others like her? Then, whose eyes track Mimi’s movements from the cemetery next door? And why does a bizarre red circle drawn on a basement wall change with each passing day?

Everywhere you looked this summer, there was pink. The marketing behind the Barbie movie was massive. It seemed like every makeup, clothing and even suitcase brands had their own Barbie collaboration. Even people who weren’t looking forward to the movie, probably had seen a licensed Barbie product over the summer.

According to Mashable, “The Barbie promotional tour has been a roller coaster, to say the least, from the ample amounts of covetable merch and clever branding to the pearls of wisdom dropped by Ken (Ryan Gosling), not to mention Margot Robbie’s commitment to being our real-life Barbie Girl.”

Women’sHealth describes “Barbiecore” like this,“There’s no stopping imagination in Barbie’s world, and that especially rings true when it comes to style. The quintessential Barbiecore aesthetic is unapologetically bright and bold, unabashedly fun and hyperfeminine, fueled both by nostalgic and modern silhouettes… It’s all about maximalism, too, with outfits typically embellished in glitter and sparkles galore.”

on celluloid. It’s a meme. It’s a mood. A vibe. A lifestyle. It’s the phenomenon that could save cinema as we know it,” Aja Romano of Vox said.

People came up with “Barbenheimer” because many Barbie fans were also excited for Oppenheimer.

The juxtaposition of Barbie and Oppenheimer made a good social media trend. The excitement grew when artists who were on the Barbie soundtrack were announced. Almost a month before the movie was released, music from the soundtrack started to be released.

Barbieheimer. It’s more than just black and pink side by side or a battle of the sexes manifested on celluloid. It’s a meme. It’s a mood. A vibe. A lifestyle. It’s the phenomenon that could save cinema as we know it.

Social media had a big impact on the promotion of Barbie. “Barbiecore” spread across every app. “Barbiecore”, is an aesthetic with lots of pink and bright colors. The internet’s excitement for the movie really helped promote Barbie products. Months before the movie was even . started talking about what they were going to wear. Barbiecore has been more than just for going to the movies. It has had a big impact on fashion everywhere.

Throughout COVID-19, movies were mostly only released on streaming. Now that theaters are back in business, people are making going to the movies a big deal. July 21, 2023 had two big movie premieres. Oppenheimer is a movie about the development of the atomic bomb. Barbie and Oppenheimer are opposites of each other. Somehow, the internet decided to make a day out of seeing both movies.

“Barbieheimer. It’s more than just black and pink side by side or a battle of the sexes manifested

“Like the movie it decorates, the album strives for a fine balance of girlish innocence and knowing irony,” Kit Buchan described the soundtrack for TheGuardian.

Both Barbie and Oppenheimer did extremely well at the box office. Barbie had an opening day of $162M, and Oppenheimer opened with $82M. Barbie has brought in over $1 billion worldwide. Combining that with the money they made from promotional products, they have done very well. While the success of the movie is a good thing, what does

it mean for the planet. Trends come and go, so now that the movie is out how is Barbiecore going to sustain. All of the pink and Barbie-themed things will most likely be thrown away when the next trend comes.

“A culture built on consumption must produce an ever-changing target to keep its participants spending money. And our culture has nearly perfected that practice. Every year (or even season), a new line of fashion is released as the newest, must-have trend. The only way to keep up is to purchase the latest products when they are released,” Joshua Becker, Forbes contributor, said.

Besides just promotional products, the cast did their part to advertise for both movies. Margot Robbie showed up to every press event dressed as a specific Barbie doll, which went viral on social media and brought much more attention the the movie. Casts of both movies talked about seeing the other’s movie.

“I think it’s great. I mean, I’ll be going to see Barbie. I can’t wait to see it. I think it’s great for the industry and for audiences that we have two amazing films by amazing

filmmakers coming out the same day. Could spend a whole day in the cinema, what’s better than that?” Cillian Murphy, star of Oppenheimer, told IGN.

Not very many other movies would be able to pull of such extensive marketing. Barbie provided a perfect opportunity for it. One of the most unusual promotions that was used was a Barbie dreamhouse in Malibu. People were able to rent the property on Airbnb.

“I won’t comment on the budget. The reason people think we spent so much is that it’s so ubiquitous. That’s a combination of paid media and how many partners came to play with us. Because it pierced the zeitgeist, it has the impression that we spend so much. In fact, we spent responsibly for an event movie,” Josh Goldstine, president of global marketing for Warner Brothers, told Variety.

The success of the Barbie movie brings questions about future movie premiers. Are other movies going to use Barbie’s marketing as inspiration? The excitement for going to the movies might die down after a year or so of new releases, or will the interncontinue to make going to the movies a big deal?

Are you team Barbie or Oppenheimer?

Wear What Who

What influences your style?

“What influences my style is music and what I feel to wear that day.”

Do you think your style is unique?

“I doubt it, but it’s what I like wearing. Everyones got their own taste in fashion, if you can make something basic into something hard that’s you ‘unique style.’”

How would you describe your style?

“Describing my style would be probably just what I found is what I think looks good.”

Do you have any celebrities that influence you?

“Celebrities definitely inspired my way of thinking about fashion. Lil Yachty, Kanye West, Brent Faiyaz, A$AP Rocky and a bit of Playboi Carti. All is good to me. The more you see the more you learn.“

Would you say your style is well known?

“I doubt my style is well known but it separates myself from other types of style. I just like clothes. Inspiration is what you look for. At the end of the day wear what makes it you.”

How would you describe your style?

“Cozy grandma/cottagecore princess with a bit of modern street fashion mixed in to make the outfits more casual.”

Do you have any celebrities that influence you?

“No not really. I mean maybe a little bit by Lana Del Rey and Mitski but more in terms of music vibes than actual fashion style.”

Would you say your style is well known?

“Meh, it’s more a mix of a variety of styles than one on its own, and it’s not exactly mainstream. I will say that it’s definitely more well known in queer and specifically sapphic spaces.”
