Editor,
The Daily Journal has a real winner with its Student News column. Week after week, the teenagers are making your adult columnists look like amateurs.
It appears these adults simply cannot write any column unless it is saying something nasty about someone and it is usually about that individual’s politics. It is basically the same column.
There is no such negative stuff from these teenagers. Take the student column written on Nov. 9 by Carlmont High School senior Jackson Sneeringer.
In short, this young lady is telling her classmates that social media is not their friend, brainwashing young girls into thinking that their body needs to look a certain way is not OK. We need young people like Jackson Sneeringer.
What we definitely do not need is some senior columnist or TV hack telling us that half of the U.S. population is evil.
Keep up the good work Jackson Sneeringer — you’ve got my vote.

Thanks for your letter, Mr. Bacon. I also enjoy the Student News columns because it brings a change of pace to the “adult” world and provides insight into what the “kids” are “into” these days and for me, an indication on how their educational journeys have shaped them. It should be noted that perhaps there is less political discourse and associated nastiness because these students may not qualify to vote. Once they’re able, it’ll be interesting to see what topics they’ll address. Let’s hope they can learn from the current batch of so-called adults in the room and instead of using hatred or vitriol to further their points of view, they can lead the next generation into proper discourse via facts. I think we’d all welcome that.
