South Hadley High School

picture to the whole school. She felt alienated and moved schools because of the bullying from her classmates. Her stalker continued to follow her, and continued to send the photo. It soon lead to depression, drugs, alcohol, and cutting. Her dad found her once laying in a ditch, saying “she wanted to die so bad”. When she got home, she drank bleach and had to go to the hospital to have her stomach pumped. She soon moved although the harassment started again. Kids posted pictures of ditches and suggested to try different bleach. Soon she made a video called “My story:struggling, bullying, suicide, self harm”. It was a story of all the things that happened and what she went through. She put that video on youtube on September 7th. On October 10th she committed suicide in her hometown of Port Coquitlam. Suicide is the leading cause of deaths among young people, a statistic shows 4,400 deaths per year, for every suicide there is 100 suicide attempts according to bullyingstatistics.com. Amanda Todd…

I heard that there are different formats of essays so I expect to learn all of them and use it accordingly. Similarly, I assume that presentations are common in any subjects. I anticipate in learning the different ways to effectively deliver messages to the audience. Another style of writing I would likely use is team collaboration. I personally expect a lot of fun with team assignments because there were not much of them during my high school years. I would enjoy sharing ideas and arguing…

college I would attend and would I be able to succeed. I imagined how collage would be, would I attended a large university or a small local community college. Students may even worry about the ACT and SAT and how successful will they be when taking those two extremely important tests. Luckily, I choose a school that didn 't stress me out about those test scores. I choose Lakeland Community College. It was the fall of two-thousand and fifth-teen my senior year in high school! With so many…

Ever since I could remember, my father would always play our Steinway piano in our living room. The sound would always flow through the walls. My father would let me sit on the bench with him and I would press the keys down. The excitement that rushed through me was uncontrollable. When I was seven I had the privilege to take piano lessons. I was not enthusiastic about practicing, but I stuck with it for nine years. After my lessons stopped I continued to pursue piano as a serious hobby. I have…

As a child I was spoiled my parents did not know how to say no to me since I was the first born. I noticed that I was spoiled between the ages ten and twelve. This affected the way I perceived things and how I believed that the things around me I should have whenever I wanted them. When I first started high school at Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School I learned solitary, being kind to others, and reflecting on the past. I knew I was spoiled at a younger age but did not do anything about it.…

same story told in the past, and I share his position. Though I concede that it is difficult to transition to new procedures, I still maintain that it is necessary for public education to change paradigms in accordance to the changing generation. For example, a student may lose all motivation to go to school once he learns that a college degree does not always mean a job. Although he already dislikes spending countless hours at school, he may be turned away completely if he is told he needs a…

Being a freshman in high school is extremely hard , especially when all your friends went to a different high school. Here I am at Rocky River High eating lunch alone, shy to talk to anyone, and just being “a loner “ people would describe me. Meanwhile at Butler High all my friends are happy reunite with one another , have class and lunch together. The feeling of being alone sucked. A couple weeks into school they had volleyball tryouts. I decided to go since I knew how to play. Tryouts lasted…

God doesn’t only have to be a serious but can also be fun and with friends.

It 's your big day!” yelled my Mom. A moan came dribbling out of my mouth as if going to school was the same as being put in a death camp. I got ready, but very slowly. I had to be in class at 8:00 or I would be late. Mom said we needed to leave the house by 7:40. Misty was very excited about going to school which she loved. I on the other hand had no business being at school. I still tried hard, hard enough to make A’s at least. “Out the door” Mom yelled. I could hear the garage door raise.…
