Should there be policies to reduce peer pressure in environments such as schools and summer camps?
Zoe Chakraborty (9) | STAFF REPORTER
Peer pressure can prove crippling to those who are subject to it. It is negatively impacting youth, the most important stakeholders in these environments.

It’s what gives these stories their special ingredient that lights a spark in the arc, the characters, and the thoughts of the readers. But should there be restrictions on the portrayal of immorality in creative works?
Should There be Policies to Reduce or Eliminate the Sale of Junk Foods?
Zoe Chakraborty (9) | STAFF REPORTER
Junk food is detrimental to health and has a number of negative effects. Yet it is still sold everywhere: at street side stands, restaurants, grocery stores, and now people can no longer resist the allure of unhealthy foods with its wide availability. In fact, obesity is so common that one in four adults in Canada suffers from it.
