TEENSPEAK

This week, Teenspeak traveled to Churchland High School in Portsmouth and asked the question:

``We should help out our allies. If we were in trouble, we'd want them to help us out.'' - Anthony Watkins, 15, junior

``I think the United States has been the policeman of the world. I think the United States has been taken advantage of.'' - Clare Seagraves, 17, senior

``We need to help other countries build themselves up to be strong like ours.'' - Heather Apperson, 15, sophomore

``Sometimes we need our military to patrol the streets out here, too.'' - Temonius Styles, 16, sophomore MEMO: [more responses appear on p.E14]
