The Cool Kids

today because of all the technology we have compared to other decades. It is now normal in society to be caught up in knowing and being on internet/ technology. In the movie, it was also “normal” to be friends with the popular girls or to be known as cool. I feel like in a lot of high schools it is normal to either try to be popular or with the popular group. Finally in this movie there is a lot of online bullying/ name calling. I feel like because of all the internet connections today that this…

find more about later. While growing up and in between acting, Lawrence served as an assistant nurse at the children's summer day camp that her mother ran. She's a very sporty person. Growing up, she played basketball, field hockey and softball as a kid. At school, she was voted the "Most Talkative" which makes sense after you watch some of her hilarious interviews.Jennifer Lawrence is a influential advocate of feminism through her charity work, awards, and career as an actress. Jennifer…

pack the largest and most dominant. So yes, those who are alone are going to have a difficult time getting through high school, and generally the ones left out have some sort of nerdy or "wired" tendency. The cool thing is that in real life, unlike in the movies, all the nerdy and weird kids don't stay ostracized from each other. They meet up and form their own group of friends and then people tend to leave them alone. Insults from one person are a lot less effective when they are thrown…

even noticing it whether it be jaywalking, littering, or even just being too loud in a public domain. Some people would feel as if everybody should know the laws and know that, for example, jaywalking is illegal, many of us know this but for the young kids who have never been talked to or confronted by the police would not be aware to these laws which therefore would lead them to just be “crossing the street” cause they did not want to wait at the light. Many people break laws all the time, most…

I enjoy theme parties so this Chicken Fajita Recipe is perfect for a Mexican party. This chicken recipe has proved a winner especially with the kids. YOu lay out all the prepared ingredients and guests can build their own fajitas. If you are a health conscious mom like me then at least you know you're getting a few veggies into your kids' diet. Using bottled salsa is a good time saver but making your own is healthier and probably nicer tasting. Chicken Fajitas Ingredients - Serves 4 4…

As I walk in the doors of the cafeteria, I notice my friends sitting at the table for breakfast so like any other kid would do go sit next to friends while waiting to be released to go into the hallways. We all start to walk down the hallway as we scan the hall where there is a few hundred students grades sixth through twelfth graders. Every year you see where you stand at on the pecking order of age statis. I turn around and yell at a sixth grader because he is running in the hallway. I think…

good grades. Or even decent grades for that matter. It didn't occur to me that school or grades were important. I cared more about what people thought of me and being “cool”. I stayed out all night with them rather than doing homework or participating in school activities. I sprouted a friendship with kids who had no future. I was a kid with no future. I lived for the short lived happiness I received from that moment. I never planned for what the future might bring. My junior year I…

he or she in complying with peer pressure. On the playground at recess was it easier to be the one to stop the bullying or go along with it? If one kid on that playground stops and thinks about why he was harassing another kid, maybe he would stop. He might even realize he was wrong, the bully was wrong, and he doesn’t have to be a follower. If more kids thought this way, eventually the bully’s army wouldn’t seem so big and bad. At a young age, it is hard to see the affects actions have. To go…

misused in today’s youth and that is only misused because kids think its “cool”. In the article it stated that a good way to help avoid your teen drinking is to just talk to him or her about the consequences and risks of underage drinking. This is a saying that is commonly enforced throughout the world even though it isn’t as easy as it sounds. The hardest part is that even though parents can talk to their children about this doesn’t mean that the kids at school or at the parties aren’t trying…

marathon, and it was really cool getting to put the medal around their neck and say “Good Job! You did well. I know if I tried running it I wouldn’t have made it.” I got 6 hours from helping out. The last thing that I did for my project was being a runner for a speaking competition at Islands High School. My friend and I got up on a Saturday morning and headed over to the school. We got assigned to a class where the kids were to be called in and take their test. After the kids were done, we…
