6. The Right to Express Views

A. Should teens be protected from some of the dangers of the Internet? Sure, but should thousands of sites just be blocked or should kids be educated to ignore these sites? The majority of teens oppose attempts to limit their access to the Internet.

On the other hand, it is too easy for kids to get into some very offensive sites, especially in the USA. In Europe many hate sites and sexual sites are banned. Due to America's freedom of speech laws even the most extreme sites are allowed to continue operating.

B. The USA is proud of its citizens' freedoms. But how "free" are American teens? A seventeen-year-old boy in order to protest against US troops going to Iraq arranged for some kids at his school to wear anti-war T-shirts and to hand out leaflets at a local shopping mall. The boy was prevented from doing so by the police. Why?

The police said that T-shirts were offensive to people with different views and they didn't want violence in the mall. But the aim of free speech is that people can disagree with each other and don't have to see eye to eye on everything. Free speech is protected by the First Amendment in the Bill of Rights added to the American Constitution. However, sometimes personal freedom is restricted.

C. Three fires are started deliberately in UK schools every day. It's a problem that's on the increase. Most fires are started in rubbish bins and most of them are started during the summer holidays.

Teenagers who start fires in schools are called firebugs by the fire brigade and the police. 95% of them are boys and they are usually pupils or ex-pupils who are angry with a teacher or the school. They usually do not want to destroy the whole school, but fires in schools are very dangerous especially if they are during the school day. And they can affect the future of the other pupils.

D. Schools in the USA used to be safe places. However, in the past five years there has been a large increase in the number of school shootings and now 70% of students do not feel safe at their school.

The schools where the shootings occurred are in very respectable and quiet areas. The causes of the shootings are different. Many of teen killers used to be victims of bullies. Others felt lonely because people thought they were weak or unattractive. Some people believe the US needs strict laws to decrease shootings.

E. Some school districts in the US have made laws against bullying because bullying is becoming a major health problem. Both the bullies and their victims suffer later in life. They may have psychological problems. Bullies might become seriously violent or commit crimes.

Victims of bullies might suffer from depression and feel bad about themselves. But some people think laws won't stop bullying, but they might make it worse. Bullying will still continue, but kids might be more afraid to tell anyone when they're victims of bullies.
