There will always be people who don’t like you, who want to be mean to you and who will put you down. It is impossible to control others, but we do have control over ourselves. When it comes to bullying, we have to worry less about the bullies and more about the victims.

Guest Column | I nurse, you nurse, we nurse

There is benefit to helping other people understand why some people choose nursing as a career. And even more importantly, how you all are, in a way, nurses.

Seaver Wang | A Failure to fire

The first rule of the national gun debate is this: much of what you know is wrong.

This is the problem with requirements: they don’t make sense. So many courses that obviously should fill them just don’t.

J Street U Penn Executive Board | A crucial voice for Israel

Open discourse and constructive criticism, rooted in love, are the only ways for us to achieve a brighter and safer future for the State of Israel. Like similar events being held by J Street U chapters on campuses across the country, our success in bringing Breaking the Silence to Hillel exemplifies the gradual mending of a still broken dialogue on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Jim Kahn | Joke issue score: DP 129, readers -129

The Daily Pennsylvanian’s annual gag issue has a long history, of which another chapter has been written today. Every year at about this time, tradition dictates that DP editors turn their usually proper paper into a playful parody.

Because sometimes you don’t actually have that much to do. At the end of every horrible week, there’s a calm, and you can either choose to embrace it or unnecessarily stress yourself out about the next thing.

Especially at Penn — a world in which six degrees of separation feels more like two — it’s all too easy to “know” someone despite never having met them.

Penn SLAP | Justice on the menu

How can Bon Appétit claim sustainability when the wages it pays are not enough for its workers to sustain their families?

Your Voice | In Tyga’s defense…

Lighten up everyone, they’re just lyrics. Harmless words. No one listens for the lyrics anyway. All we want is a dope beat so we can get freaky on the dance floor.

The pursuit of legislation has been sidelined for the pursuit of finding true news. The creative side of entertainment is intersecting with the content, leaving us satisfied with the story, not the necessary results.

Sorry has become the panacea, but the word is caving under the weight of our demands.

Emily Goshey | Are you out there?

After having some conversations with my friends here at Penn, I’m astounded that so many of them read Tyga’s lyrics and respond: “Well, I just really don’t care.”

Your Voice | The Modi controversy is not about free speech

Saturday in the streets of Philadelphia, we got a much clearer picture of what it is that Modi’s supporters actually stand for. In a protest that was organized by a group describing itself as “Americans for Free Speech,” free speech seemed pretty low on the agenda.

Paulo Bautista and Ana Bautista | For one another

We are a place of tolerance, appreciation of diversity and respect. Except this Friday, when there is a party planned with the tagline, “Join the brothers of St. Elmo for a night of papal blasphemy. Let’s get sacrilegious in honor of Pope Francis, a true minister to the poor, the sick, and the blackout.”

Obama should have used his visit to Israel to put forth a comprehensive proposal for peace and the establishment of a Palestinian state.

Every weekend, college campuses across the country are transformed into hotbeds of crime by misguided laws with track records of abysmal failure.
