Maddy Moritz and Allison Schneider, freshmen, are wearing ripped jeans. They are walking down the stairs at TCHS laughing with each other on September 3, 2019.

Ripped Jeans

By Ashlyn Schonthaler Ripped jeans are back in style! They are certainly in style at TCHS for fall. They are stylish, comfortable, and trendy. Jeans were first designed in the late 1870s by German designer Loeb Strauss. Later, he changed his name to Levi and started the Levi's denim brand. Ripped jeans came into style 100 years later, in the 1980s. Not many parents liked ripped jeans back then because they

thought it looked messy. Ripped jeans went away for a while, and then came back in 2010. Now they are more popular than ever, and many teens wear them. During the summer, ripped jean shorts are popular and worn by many teen girls. In the fall, you're likely to see students wearing ripped denim capris or longer pants. I don't think ripped jeans are going out of style any time soon!

why I think that the Earth is correcting itself in-

If we don't take care of our planet, it will begin

to correct itself. This correction could take the

form of forest fires, animals dying, and even

hotter temperatures. We need to be cleaning our

will see the devastating effects of that correc-
