The Cool Kids

The characters are interesting. I liked how the author gave the characters their personality. Like Tana she is an ordinary girl. She like to party, go out with her friends and more. Many weird things happen in her life. Aidan is a weird kid. He’s a blood sucker (vampire). Midnight and Winter become their friends later in the story. Although they are different from each other, they help each other.…

doing their homework or staying inside just to play and sit around day and night. The specific electronic games that can cause a big problem in a child’s mind PlayStation, Wii, DS, tablets, etc… Kids that are involved…

These two girls sit down with me not to bully me. “Hi I’m Khrysta and I’m Leigha,” they said. “Are you talking to me?” I thought. They are sitting next to kid who people call a weirdo, a Freak, a crybaby. The truth is I have S.P.D, Dyspraxia, and Anxiety and these two girls want to sit next to me? I asked in my head. “You look like a nice kid,” Khrysta said. Was this what having friends was like. It felt like a bright colorful rainbow formed above my brain. “I HAVE FRIENDS!” I screamed in…

It has been proven that the reason most teenagers misbehave and don't follow the rules is because you're telling them specifically what not to do, so they think they're acting cool by disobeying what you said. If those kids were given some freedom on the subject then it wouldn't have the same effect because kids would feel differently about the subject and they wouldn't have to be getting in trouble for it.There way to over sensitive about it which is understandable being a reasonable human…

change and in fact FCAT is a part of that. The main effect of FCAT is the dropout rate starting to rise which makes it impossible for most kids to graduate, get good grades, attend college, and also cause embarrassment. Graduation play’s a huge role in most children’s lives, but sometimes it’s hard to reach that goal when it’s hard for the kid’s to focus. Most kids drop out of school not because they want to or they’re forced to, they do it because they feel as if they’re not smart enough…

society. Popular culture always keeps us guessing on what music is going to be popular, what tv show everybody watches, what clothing is fashionable, and what language we use. Of course, what is cool today may not be cool in a month, 2 months, or a year. Society is always adapting to what people believe to be “cool” and “in fashion”. Throughout the short story, “A Perfect Day for Bananafish” by J.D. Salinger, the character Seymour struggles to fit back into society and change his lifestyle to…

a teacher. I look at that as a good thing though, watching kids just goof off and not come to school then high school rolled around and it was like I got to look down on them because they did not prepare for bigger and better things. School wasn't bad for me because it was hard, it was bad because i was always shy in school. Although I wasn't shy threw my whole school career, it was only between pre k- freshman year. I was alway the kid that would just walk from point A to point B, class to…

and they see a celebrity like Miley Cyrus, Kim Kardashian or even Justin Bieber ( last year around October) they are going to want to do what those celebrities do because “they are so cool.” The “popular kids” will also be a factor in influencing other teens because if they see Miley promoting cigarettes all the kids are going to want to…

some cases where it wasn’t, here are some stories about bullying: Will was a 14 year old that was bullied by a former group of friends because he had Asperger’s Syndrome a minor version of autism. It made him think a bit differently than most other kids, a boy named Jaden stood up for him…

In my city, teens seem to be at the bottom of the food chain; scraping and scrapping just to make it in this system. A majority of the youth fall victim to negative influences and lack of opportunities in Brockton, MA, making me wonder if a city that is only twenty-two square miles in area deals with this epidemic, what are the larger cities facing? Rather than having choices when it comes to sewing positivity into their community, inner-city youth are surrounded by drugs, guns and gangs in…
