You call THIS a school?! Karina Nicole Arciga

My issue is CPS sanitation. I decided to do this because I'm so tired of this problem everywhere! the schools are so GROSS and no one does anything about it! First i know it's the students' fault for making a mess but the school DOES NOT come to clean up the mess. This year is my last year EVER in a CPS school but it still will bother me for many years. We are the future so dont we at least deserve a good clean environment to learn in? Does the Board of Education not see this? NO! I KNOW they don't care because i'm 18 years old and this has been a problem since before I was born so DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! SAY SOMETHING TO SOMEONE! TODAY!

Ahisha Morales-who are we?

The issue that is been trying to be explained in this zine is all the racism and discrimination there is in  the world. I think this issue should be notice and there should be done something to stop it. I want people to understand the world they live in, and that it isn't right. There should be something we could do. 

Rocio Sanchez - Violence is not the Answer

I want people to understand that violence doesn't solve anything. It just makes things worse. If there is violence people need to stand up for themselves or just walk away and not go back to the situation. If you know somebody that is going through a rough time dealing with a violent relationship or just family then you need to stay by their sides and help them get away or stand up for herself.

My issue today is Gun Violence. The issue here is so many innocent lives are being taken away day by day. It's getting out of hand. What I want people to get out of this is that a lot of people are being affected by this when they lose someone that they truly loved. People shouldn't have to live day by day having to watch their back because they don't know what could happen at any second.

 All they wanted to do was feed their family. Mom and Dad aren't coming back. We killed them. My story speaks for all animals but in particular, I chose wolves. Animals are going extinct and soon there will be no more, and we humans can only be the blame. And I'll take that. Will you?

Emilyn Gutierrez- CPS Get it Clean

The issue of my zine is sanitation in CPS schools and how because of the new change they have made with taking away some janitors and created a new corporation of janitors so our schools are more dirty than ever. These new janitors working for the corporation don't care about our schools anymore since they aren't technically apart of them anymore. But also this isn't just CPS's fault but also the students fault, they don't pick up after themselves and they should have some common sense and try to keep our schools as clean as possible. I believe that this issue is important because after all we are in this environment five days a week and CPS should realize that their change isn't working and how we are being affected by it. People should understand how important this issue is and how we should try to keep our schools as clean as possible.

Nayara Angeles- Guns Dont Die Children Do

We are all surrounded by violence and we live among it.  I want people to understand that no matter where you are we are victims of gun violence. It can happen to anyone and we should take a stand and try to nether the use of gun violence.
