Dear Mr. Fisch

After watching the video you posted called “Dear 16 year old me” I was shocked and surprised about some of the facts the video contained. One of them I found extremely disturbing was that getting sunburn before you are eighteen nearly doubles your chances to get Melanoma. This is such a disturbing fact considering that almost every teen has been sun burnt. It also was informative because it talked about some of the ways you can prevent it and also spot it early like using sunscreen and checking your body once a month. I think if everyone can keep these things in mind we can prevent tragedies from happening.

Dear Mr. Warlick,

I agree with your article “Are we Wasting children” because schools shouldn’t be allowed to let their students drop out of their education because the public schools don’t pressure and encourage their students to stay in school and continue their education. I think that you are not the only one that has had a dream that shows a lack of care by the public school system. I also think that there are clear signs around us that are results of the public school systems lack of effort like high homeless and poverty rates. I think that education is the most important thing we can do to create a better America and the results of schools not caring results in young people not living prosperous and successful lives.

Dear Mr. Fisch

After reading your article “Dear Denver Post: No More Horoscopes” I agree with you that horoscopes have no place being in the paper before educational articles. When I looked at the poll that was hyperlinked on your blog I could not believe that only 26% of people believe in astrology yet about the same amount believe in things like witches and ghosts. With statistics like these the Denver Post should be printing more stories about Science or even anything educational. With this said even if they are not willing to replace horoscopes permanently maybe they will compromise and have horoscopes only one day of the weekend instead of two? I agree that the Denver Post should not print horoscopes when there are more important stories out there that could benefit society as a whole.
