Dear People Of America, America really need some change! In so many categories! Of course, as a country, America has one of the best living situations— we have so many opportunities, equal rights (yes do not fight me on this—— on a literally level it is completely true!), and this country is considered to be a rich country! So yes, for people who want to complain “I hate America” all day, just know that in comparison to countries around the world, we are SO LUCKY and so may people aspire to come to America for the sheer opportunities and lack of oppression alone! Actually I would imagine that many foreigners would find it surprising that so many Americans take on the victim mentality of “we are pressed”, weather it be female “oppression”, racial “oppression” (yes even white males...

As a survivor from depression, anxiety, and suicide- I know one or two things about how it feels to be ridiculed while on the inside you are just fighting for your life. When being attacked by fellow classmates you instantly get anxious and furious. Things such as being mocked, being sassed back for no reason, getting straight up rude comments for no reason. (Note: with a strong personality you fight back and in reaction add more fuel to the fire to justify the way they are acting towards you) In addition to the anxiety, you add in the depression, you begin to feel as if the whole entire world hates you and there is no way out. That you are broken and worthless. To us, it's not just fun and games. It is harsh words that will forever ring in our ears. It creates memories that will last a...

Dear you, As the days go by, I find out more and more. I cannot help but go back and forth between anger and what seems like an unending sadness. After I wrote my first letter to you, we had a conversation through texting. It was the first time we had been able to talk since the break up. That night we ended up talking on the phone. The only reason that happened is because I told you I was seeking help from a consular. You answered the phone and began telling me I had to leave you alone. I shouldn't contact people because "You knew what I was trying to do". Well you actually do not know what I was trying to do. I messaged your Grandma because she is on vacation and I probably will never see her again and I was genuinely wishing her well. You told me I couldn't talk to my best friend...

Dear Fox News and Yahoo online editors: I recently came across a syndicated Fox New article on Yahoo’s website entitled, “Stars Without the Warpaint,” and was absolutely appalled at the captions in this slide show. The captions repeatedly showed captured images of celebrities without makeup, or not being glammed up by their stylists. Time after time the women in the images were described as "scary", "puffy", "tired", "old", "partied out", "seeing better days", the list goes on and on. What is worse is the images were often next to or followed by a picture that shows the women being styled, with make-up and captions along the lines of saying, “There’s the girl we know” or “What a little make-up can do.” There are 136 slides degrading women, all of whom have feelings, insecurities,...
