This writer of this article has chosen to remain unnamed due to the sensitive nature of this topic. I’m sitting at the dinner table, and as I lift my fork to take a bite, my mother makes a casual comment about calories.

Chris DeWolf, Reporter
December 13, 2018
I lived in a bubble. A bubble constructed of willful ignorance, of social normality and simultaneously social isolation.

November 9, 2018
Why do we need allies? According to society, the role of an ally is to sit passively alongside a struggle and take pride in the fact that they are not actively contributing to the problem.

February 1, 2018
There are LHS students in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer community (LGBTQ+) who have been relentlessly bullied and taunted because of who they are. We don't want LHS to be on that list of schools where this type of bullying, or any bullying for that matter, takes place. ...
