'American Vandal' Season 2
American Vandal, season two, came out on Netflix last Friday and I watched it all in a day. It was really good. As most fans were, I was worried it wouldn't live up to the first season, and while it did lack in some areas, it overall stood on its own legs. It's an impressive follow-up to an iconic first season.

'Castle': A Rom-Com Procedural
One show that has stayed with me a few years after ending is the television series Castle starring Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic. While the show has ended much to fans' dismay, I'm happy we had it for as long as it lasted. What was so special about this series, and what made it work more than just being a procedural series, is that there was comedy mixed into the plot more than other cop shows these days.

Love, Murder
“I think there should be a good balance between being a good student and being able to enjoy your high school life,” Vanessa Minnillo advises people who ask her. There is a ton of drama that can be mined from the high school experience, there is a reason why networks chase the golden goose known as the high school soap opera. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Just ask the students and teachers at Fitzgerald High School inn Warren, Michigan. In the case of Tanaya Lewis and Danya Gibson, the love of a boy ruined a friendship and led to the murder of Gibson.

Violent Crime Among Youngsters
In today's society it is very common for children under the age of 18 to be violent, as they are deprived of social and emotional learning in which they need from parents and teachers. However, it can also be argued that this violence is not caused by the lack of social and emotional learning, instead the reason being, that teenagers and children are still in a critical state where they are still developing, and this may make them violent despite their upbringing.

11 Facts About Hate Crime in America Most People Don't Know
I remember the first time I heard about hate crime happening in my neighborhood. It was a simple, stupid piece of graffiti that had a racist remark on it; nothing violent, per se. However, it was disturbing. I never thought my small town would be a place where people would hate one another so deeply.

We Most Stop Blaming Parents for Gang Culture
I enjoy having conversations with other parents and non-parents about gang culture and the problematic rise in crime in London. I am a former Londoner who has moved out of London. And with no willingness to return for the safety of my son. I grew up in the 90s so I am not that much older than many of the teenage gang members in London today. It has been reported that 6 percent of 10 to 19 year olds belong to a gang in England and Whales. Gang culture researcher Keir Irwin Rogers said that "there was 9,000 stabbing in London alone last year - 2017."

Rape
My eyes flickered open like a light switch. My hand curled around something soft and fluffy, looking down I see a pillow. My senses register that the soft material below me is a bed. I begin to search the room in blind confusion, then it dawns on me. I’m in someone’s bedroom and I shouldn’t be. Courtney and I were at Dianna’s then we left and went clubbing at her cousins’ bar down town. We didn’t drink, Dianna made sure of that herself. Wait, where is—

Horror in the Orphanage . Top Story - September 2018.
"Be generous to the poor orphans and those in need. The man to whom our Lord has been liberal ought not to be stingy. We shall one day find in Heaven as much rest and joy as we ourselves have dispensed in this life." Saint Ignatius warned Christians to take care of those kids that didn't have parents. The Nuns of St. Joseph in Burlington, Vermont did not heed his advice. Many of the orphans were separated from their siblings, forgot about their birthdays (including how old they are), and some even were given new names. The children were abused, tortured, sexually abused, and some were murdered by the nuns assigned to care for them. Skeletons that the Catholic Church have long tried to hide are tumbling out of the closet.
