High school

School Administrators take on bullies. Bullying in Junior High and High Schools has reached astounding levels unto which “Twenty two percent of students report being bullied during the school year”. Bullying comes in many different forms and is usually intentional by deliberately causing harm, either physical or emotionally. It typically makes the child feel less about them. A child’s education, health and safety are impacted due to bullying. School administration should listen carefully when…

Have you seen a movie based off a high school? High school is definitely not as the movie make it seem. There is one thing the movie and the reality of high school have in common though and that is having cliques. It can be hard for students to find a group that they belong to. High schools have extracurricular activities to try to solve this problem. The high school encourages the student to take part in this peculiar activity due to the benefits and it looks good on the college application.…

High school to me felt no different than of the other eight years of school I had endured. The difference being, that now my grades mattered and would determine if I would go to college. For me, issues like anxiety and depression were not a problem. I had no issues getting good grades as long as I actually tried. My two largest obstacles in school were procrastination and poor organization and both of these issues would not help when I was placed in a math class with a very difficult and…

High school is a world full of hate, fear, anxiety, stress, emotion, and embarrassment. It has never made much senses to me why the movies make high school seem like a place of perfect-pitched, random outbursts of happy songs. Mean words are spoken and tears are shed. Coaches will yell at you to the point of giving up and crawling under a rock. Girls are especially brutal in high school. There is a constant and complex social network in every girl’s mind 24/7 whether young or old, teacher or…

High school is hard enough with the pressure of maintaining an above average GPA, extracurricular activities, a social life, and the responsibilities at home. The last thing any high school student wants or needs is to be the talk of the school because of an invasion of their privacy but it has happened to both males and females across the world. I’ve seen the outcome of what sexting leads to about two years ago. In my tenth grade homeroom, I always sat by the same girl every day. We never…

lower than an A meant that I had made a mistake. It meant I had failed. That’s the way I felt about grades. Because of this, throughout all of high school, I was under tremendous pressure, especially during final tests and projects. Looking back on these experiences helped me to realize that I was worrying for the wrong reasons. Through all of high school, all I worried or cared about was my grades. I didn’t care about learning or the projects I was doing. All that mattered to me was that I got…

about high school teenagers, "perfect" is probably one of the last words that come to mind, and not without good reason. We aren 't always the wisest people on the planet and lack in some areas more than others. I can easily say so for myself, and yes, although I am ashamed of not being able to keep up with certain subjects as well as others, I search for ways to keep myself going and overcome any difficulty in said areas, in my case, math and history. I remember back in middle school, I had…

been around for years and they still exist today. Many people believe stereotypes don't have the power to bring down a high school student’s ability to succeed. There have been articles and movies about stereotypes. The article “How a Self Fulfilling Stereotype Can Drag Down a Performance” by Shankar Vedantam has talked about how stereotypes can affect how people perform in school, work, and life. There are also movies that are based on true events that have happened like in “Stand and…

three most prestigious high schools in the state; I was part of the Career and Technical Education Program. This allowed me the opportunity to choose between the Engineering and Pre- Law programs provided at my school. My interest in math and science pushed me to pursue a path in Engineering. Knowing that I will be able to positively impact someone’s life through this career made it all the more compelling. The “Introduction to Engineering” class on my first day of high school was intimidating.…
