She wore a distant, star-struck expression. Her eyes were glazed and mouth slightly agape. She looked like a groupie staring up from the front row at some boy band rock concert. Tabitha wore high heels, a scandalously short, black skirt, and a white blouse. The top two buttons of the blouse were unbuttoned. A black choke collar necklace with a silver amulet completed the look. On most women, the outfit would be over-the-top slutty; on Tabitha…

The years you have a class with the same people, able to know everyone 's name within the school, and have the unknown of what your future is going to hold.

contribution, these students are also rewarded by the education system for doing the minimal amount of work possible to get by in school. Students who work as hard as they can every day to graduate high school get the same opportunities to further their high school education as those who simply show up, skip classes, and smoke cigarettes in the bathrooms for seven hours a day. The school system doesn’t allow ability grouping, so they dumb down the curriculum in order to, once again, protect the…

of bullying occur during middle school (Revealed). When I was in middle school, I was constantly being made fun of for my height and how big my feet were. Later in high school the bullying worsened. Many of the friends I had in middle school started to exclude me. Soon after they began to talk about me behind my back; I could tell that they were because they were being obvious. They also made up very inappropriate rumors about me and spread them around the school. I tried to live everyday like…

August 2010: It is the start of a new schoolyear, and I’m entering my second and final year of middle school. I’m around thirteen years old and very excited for one class and one class only, English. Although I’ve always excelled in math, English has always been my passion. One day, I hoped to add English to my list of strengths. However, before I could master writing, I had to discover what makes a good writer? Upon searching, I realized that every writer is unique. There are no two writers…

West St. Mary High school. This must be put to an end with the lack of student involvement it shows students have worse grades, horrible communication skills, and a lack of school spirit. This could be solved by making minor school changes, or giving incentives to students so that they will be encouraged to participate in school activities. Most students…

Being successful in high school you just had to get good grades and do sports and maybe be in a club and make your parents proud. Where in college it takes a lot to be successful you are paying for everyday and you have to make the best of it,…

books, and so many more. My parents made sure that they started to teach me skills that I would need for school at a young age. From reading books every night, to practicing math while calculating carbohydrate counts and insulin dosages for my diabetes, I took in all the knowledge that I could, like a sponge. I remember that by the time that I entered Kindergarten at Clinton Elementary School I…

battle with ourselves. As teenagers, we are so much more at risk of depression and suicide. It’s recommended that teenagers get 9.5 hours of sleep a night. Since this is not possible most of the time, it affects our mental health, performance in school, and how productive we are at work. I feel that at times we are more open minded about certain…

your desk as you begin to register for classes. Too bad you do not have a professional adviser to help you plan ahead if your first schedule does not work out. After all, you do have to take a bunch bottleneck courses -- you know, the ones that are in high demand and fill up right away. Of course, your top choice schedule ran into trouble because the bottleneck courses you need to graduate are already full. Now you are a whole semester behind, with no one to help you fix it. Maybe next semester…
