In addition to offering the full text of the weekly print publication, Barron's Online now provides expanded weekday coverage and a new format. Barron's Online takes a different approach, emphasizing analysis, commentary and fresh perspectives that aren't available anywhere else. Entrants will write a 750 to 1000 word essay discussing why they believe there has been such a recent dramatic rise in teenage violence, and what they believe can be done to prevent it. All entries must be received by December 31, 1999. Our goal is to educate, provide awareness, and entertain.
Teenage violence is a major concern in the teenage community.
Today's teens do not want to have to go to school in fear, and they should not be put in that position. With this contest, we are providing teenagers with a voice to tell the world their take on the situation, which is often more realistic than the perspective of the adults who are observing at a distance. We must listen to the opinions of those that are directly effected by the violence, the teens themselves, and then unite to find a solution. NOVA Online provides a companion website for each week's NOVA broadcast, program schedules, teacher guides, audience feedback, and links to related sites. Around the Web Amazon.
