Not as Sweet as You Thought- Julia Rihani

Hi, my name is Julia, and if there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I LOVE chocolate, so much that I usually can't go a day without eating a little bit of it. I started to wonder what my fascination was with chocolate, and sugar, in general. After my parents went on the keto diet, a diet where you don't ANY sugar, I began to realize how present sugar is and how hard it is to cut out of your diet. This was the inspiration for my podcast, I wanted to know what made sugar so addicting. After researching the history and science behind sugar addiction and obesity, I came up with some interesting results and found out that sugar is not as sweet as we might have thought. I hope you like it!

Isaac's Podcast- School Causes Stress on Teens (Ep.1)

School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters. The school system it just, things are due, there are due dates in school and kids try to meet those standards but they have sports, they have families, they want to have fun, they don't want to spend their young years worrying, but they end up worrying, and stressing, and thats the sad truth. ⇩Link Below⇩ https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Q9CfDFBpJ8pcEEAu9FKOS_kCLiuYhyB5  Sources cited:  http://web.b.ebscohos...

WHAT THE TRUMP?! The Teenage Thoughts on the Donald Trump Presidency

Image
Teenagers and Trump The most controversial man in America happens to be our president.  Donald J. Trump, the United States' 45th president, split America into  two halves. While many people (about half the United States) agreed  with him and his proposed political agenda, he still managed to draw lots of  controversies.   Is Donald Trump doing anything wrong? Are the American people being over-dramatic towards his presidency? Maybe it isn’t that Trump is doing a bad job, but that the American people are still caught up in that he managed to beat Hillary? Rather than having adults answer these questions, maybe it’s time that kids share their opinions because the only opinions we ever get are old stinky adult ones. Find out in this episode of Arekcast, with your host Arek Gadomski, as we gather information from teenage High-school students on our president and discuss controversial topics regarding him.
