As someone who has a younger sister, I did not know who Logan Paul or Jake Paul was until she started watching their videos and talking about them. Yes, I was her age once and watched people on Youtube do stupid things for fame, but this kid just about draws the line.

It draws the line to the point where I forbade my little sister from watching him and all the garbage he spews out of not only his mouth but of his webshows, music videos, and anything else you can just about name.

He is not a role model and not someone that any growing young mind should expose themselves to. If you Google his name, you will not find anything flattering within first glace.

Logan Paul believes that it is okay to degrade women, for example.

Did you happen to see his latest music video? Though he remix the song Handelbars, the way in which he portrays himself "riding" on women as a bicycle is disgusting, vulgar and certainly not something I want any child to idolize. We are teaching younger women that it is okay to be rode around on. Does anyone not see anything wrong with this?

Let's not forget that he is racist:

People have signed petitions to get him off of YouTube.

After the recent Vlog he uploaded when he found a dead body with the video titled "We found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest," The face of the man was blurred out and due to the nature of the content, as well as the backlash he received he ended up taking the video down. Logan's response to the criticism from the audience was that he was doing it to raise awareness for suicide.

How is "We found a dead body," raising awareness and how is filming someone who killed themselves raising awareness? How is it "raising awareness" when you ask your viewers to follow you after just viewing a dead body?" Is this kid for real? If he had any ounce of respect for himself, his fans and the person he filmed, he would not have filmed it in the first place and found a better alternative to "raise awareness." What he said after the fact was simply something his publicist typed up for him to cover his own tracks for what he did, but this time he went too far.

Kids go on YouTube to watch their favorite stars play slime challenges or "Eat it or Wear it" challenges, NOT to watch a dead body and make fun of the idea of suicide. This generation of kids need to learn what is right and wrong and how to support one another; Logan Paul does not do any of these things.

So now it's in your hands to stop others from watching him. He is toxic and not what the youth should be exposed to. Believe me, I'm sure they could occupy themselves with other YouTubers out there that actually have respect for human life. So do yourself a favor and #BoycottLoganPaul.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
