Coming Soon: Black & Red Advice

The Black and Red’s goal for the newspaper this year is to make it more interactive for everyone.  For this reason, we are adding an advice column to the site.  We will address issues that students can relate to and we will suggest ways to solve life’s little problems along the way.

Something We All Deal With

High school: oh the sweet sound of adolescence.  Our bodies are changing, our minds are racing, and we can’t run from it!  Sex is a subject that comes up everyday.  Teenagers are constantly bombarded with it on television, in movies, media, and by peers.  It is something that cannot be ignored, yet our state legislature is brushing it under [...]

Death: Obesity or Cancer?

A surprising change has taken place here at North, a change that students are complaining about: the sugar-free drinks in all of the vending machines.  Gwinnett County decided that starting this school year, only diet drinks can be sold in the vending machines.  Our pure ignorance is being revealed by this change - we can’t just assume that diet soda will make us lose weight or stop the increasing rate [...]

Hypocrisy: New Carpets & Paper Cut-Backs

 A new school year has come upon us, and we find ourselves lost in the crowds, figuring out locker combinations, meeting new teachers, and finding friends at lunch.  North Gwinnett is the oldest school in the county, and with 3000 students, repairs and upgrades are needed.  Two things are different this school year; you were told one, and [...]
