Intro 1
“I want another cookie!” It is a common saying among kids and teens. The best access to “another cookie” is at school, away from the protecting parents. As shown in Scholastic Action, there is large debate over the topic of junk food being sold in schools. There are positives to selling junk food, like making more money for the school, yet there are negatives such as increasing health problems among young people, and the price of health care. The larger end of the debate says junk food should be banned.

Intro 2
In January of 2012, a young girl named Phoebe Prince hung herself because of the bullying that happened to her at school and on social media. The death of Phoebe stresses the message that bullying seriously needs to be dealt with. In Scholastic Action, Phoebe's tragic story is told of the bullying that affected her life so much that she killed herself. When one thinks of all the lives of bullying victims lost, the easy accessibility of bullying online, and the "lax" attitude about bullying in many schools, one would feel that something needs to put an end to this. When adults "bully" others they are usually dealt with seriously, and so teenage bullies should be dealt with also.

Intro 3
A vacation to the beach? Not so cool as a vacation to space. A company named Virgin Galactic is soon going to offer a 3-hour vacation that lets those involved see breath-taking views of space and experience zero gravity for six minutes for the price of $200,000. In Scholastic Scope there is large debate on whether this should be offered because of safety hazards. Benefits include the amazing experience, though negatives of this trip are the limited number of test flights, the large number of astronaut deaths and injuries, and the lack of training of the customers. With all these factored in, it is recommended that these journeys should not happen without more preparation and proper planning.
