From a recent one: HOW SAFE DO TODAY'S TEENS FEEL IS SCHOOL?

That's the question beingasked teens from across the country in this weekend's issue of PARADEmagazine. Here's a sample of what a few of them had to say:

Ben Furner, 17 from Murray, Utah: "Once, I overheard a girl talkingabout bringing a gun to school, so I called the cops. I'm doing my bestto keep my school safe."

Ryan Fox, 14, from Gobles, Michigan: "Since my school put cameras in allthe hallways, there has been less trouble. But now I have that strangefeeling a camera's always following me."

Jessica Kveton, 16, from Sandwich, Illinois: "I go to a small school. Wedon't have metal detectors or security guards. We do have teachers whoask us about our lives, and we all know each other. That's why I feelsafe."

Topic Ideas: How safe do you feel at your school? Do the securitymeasures at your school make you feel any safer, or do they just makeyou feel like you're in prison? What would you do to make your schoolsafer?
