Thanksgiving is overshadowed by the ruthless commercialization of the winter holidays, with the timing of Thanksgiving used as an excuse to market items including new video games, power drills and high-definition televisions
The Black Lives Matter movement is not only uplifting Black people; it is helping breathe life into efforts led by other minority groups.
It's worth knowing that every recycled item and decision to boycott a fast-fashion store makes a difference.
The portrayals of teens on screen and elsewhere often make us feel uncomfortable with who we are.
Some local teens believe media coverage helps bring awareness to mental illness and normalizes its widespread effects. Others, however, believe the media stereotypes conditions such as depression and anxiety.
People today just throw around labels like OCD and ADD without recognizing the debilitating impacts of these disorders.
What I like most about having my own belief system is that it is imbued with my current perspective.
It's no secret that teen activism is on the rise in Santa Fe, across New Mexico and even around the world — a trend many say is inspired by the current president.
