The best times of senior year include parties, prom, and getting out of this hell hole (aka high school) to college. It 's senior year, go out have some fun, hit the blunt and drink up like a fish. Go to prom it 's a guaranteed good time. Take a loan out of the bank and get yourself an education in an undecided major for college soon. You got this. High school is the best time of your life and senior year is just 8/10ths of the slice of cake. Syche it 's all bullshit, the whole thing. These lies that many teens believe are fed with a teaspoon through media, peers, and even some teachers. If you believe these lies and don’t want to change, then stop reading here, but for those of you that want to change continue reading and don’t forget to review me on yelp. Prom is one of those overrated things that many people feel they have to do, but it 's all good. Save your money and just kick it at home. It is unnecessary to do the whole shibang of parties and asking a girl to prom. The idea of asking a girl to prom is essentially like a marriage proposal. It is just an unneeded cycle of dra...
One of my main arguments against Feed is that it sets a bad example for students. Many 9th graders have just recently been exposed to many bad influences such as marijuana, alcohol, and other illegal substances that can be easily acquired. The characters in this book are represented as being “cool” and “hip”, so aspiring “cool” kids wi...
This film contains some classic examples of the kinds of real life issues adolescents deal with. Issues such as popularity, peer relationships, family/sibling relationships, sex, and struggles with identity are all addressed in this ninety-minute film.
Graduating early is when you graduate before you are suppose to. It was never common because no one ever seemed to think about it or want to put in the work to do it. For a long time high school was defined as the best time of your life. Everyone who spoke to you always said when you left you would miss it. No one really wanted to graduate early for that reason. People wanted to cherish the time they had in high school because they knew they only got to go through it once. It was a big idea to live up to. Senior year has this belief attached to it. It means a lot to people because it is their last year of high school and it was upsetting to know that you’d be leaving the people you have spent the last four years with. People thought you had to have as much fun as possible in high school and do all kinds of crazy things before you turned 18: when you would be considered and punished as an adult. Now those times have changed. High school is not looked upon as the best times of your life anymore. It is looked upon in almost a negative way. High school has changed a lot and it is not very enjoyable now. There are lots of reasons why someone would want to graduate early. For instance, maybe the student was bullied, maybe the student decided they wanted to move on and go to college, maybe the student got sick of their home life and wanted to move forward, or like me, maybe the student has their future waiting for them and all they need is to graduate high school so they could begin it.
What can you learn about adolescence by watching five very different teens spend Saturday detention together? With each and everyone of them having their own issues weather it be at home, school, or within themselves. During this stage of life adolescents are seen as rude, disrespectful, and out of control. But why is this? Is it truly all the child’s fault? Teens have to face quite a few issues while growing up. Adolescence is the part of development where children begin push back against authority and try to figure out who they are or who they are going to become. Therefore, we will be looking at adolescent physical changes, their relationships, cognitive changes and the search for identity as depicted in the movie The Breakfast Club (Hughes,1985).
Walter Kirn successfully unearths some of the worst aspects of senior year. However, these reasonings are not sound enough to condone the discontinuation of it. Any issues found are the fault of the student or the school administration, not the grade level itself. Senior year is worth holding on to for both the persistence of learning and for solidifying relationships. Kirn mentions with pleasure his choice to leave high school early. Nonetheless the four year high school experience should not be demoralized by those who wish to value it for the irreplaceable opportunity it is.
Throughout time education has been considered a process that every so often must be improved. The education quality in the U.S. has declined over the years and people have been looking for a way to make improvements. A more recent proposal has been to go from a traditional nine-month schedule to an all year program. Supporters of year round school claim it gives the student a better education. However, the prospect of year round school is not beneficial to the taxpayers pocket, to the education a student receives, or to the people involved with the district.
As an upcoming senior you will think that your senior year will be stress less. But that not the case it will be filled with work on top of work. During my senior year I didn't think senioritis was real until I have to actually do work I didn't feel like doing . Once I got to the second quarter I was completely check out and ready to graduate. As a senior myself I didn't do some of my homework, I was getting low test scores, and not coming to school. Senioritis is real and after the first quarter you will feel like it's no purpose. So it's important to stay motivated and avoid laziness.
Imagine being in class when all of a sudden a friend next to you collapses. Next thing one knows, one’s girlfriend faints, then the new kid, then one’s brother, and soon enough most of the class is on the floor knocked out. All of the sudden, one is sitting there wondering what on Earth is going on. This is how the kids of Buffalo High School, in Mini Soda, felt. The students’ conditions were being investigated by doctors. The doctors all said that the collapsing was just out of the students’ stress. The girls were terrified of failing their courses and with the big exam coming up, they could not handle the pressure. Soon after, the girls started to post their symptoms online on social
As young girl with big dreams I imagined my senior year of high school to be one of the best years of my life. I imagined going to homecoming with all of my friends, being the captain of the varsity soccer and cheerleading teams, going to Friday night football games, going to Prom with my perfect date, and going on a senior trip with all of my best friends. I never imagined my senior year to be the way that it is. I am the new kid.
The traditional School schedule is set up so students go to school for 9 months and then have a 3-month summer Vacation. This system dates back to a time when most people's lively hood was farming; therefore, the educational schedule was built around the times of harvest and planting. But in modern day, with so little farmers this schedule is severely out dated. The long break in the summer encourages students to forget knowledge that they learned that previous year, forcing teachers to review information for 4-6 weeks, time that could be well used teaching students new and enriching things. This schedule also isn't very cost effective, for three months schools stand empty and unused, which is ridicules due to how over crowded the educational system is. Does it really make sense to use an outdated schedule when with every other aspect of our lives we want the newest and the best?
Prom is an indispensable experience in junior and senior years of high school life, Following a few important steps for getting ready for prom will make the preparation less stressful and will also save time.

Prom is when most girls get the chance to have their hair and nails done and to get the beautiful Cinderella dress. Although, at the cost of renting things, you don’t want to leave behind a shoe.

You worry about being asked, you have to finance it, and you just want the stars to align perfectly on this special night. High school teen Brianna Albert recalls from her prom, “In order to get the dress [girls] want before their classmates do, many girls begin shopping for dresses months before prom (Kasperkevic). In a big high school like GHS is seems extreme to go to these lengths with class sizes of around five hundred, yet I'm guessing it still happens. Students should not have to be stressed to enjoy one of the last nights they will be together with friends they have had since freshman
Comparing college to high school is like comparing a fish to a bird. They are both animals, but both have great differences. Some people say that college is supposed to be the best time of your life, while others say that high school was. I believe that it just depends on what you did during both. For some, the freedom of college was the greatest thing, and for others the freedom was awful because they were so used to their parents being right by them when they needed something. The differences of college and high school are almost as broad as the similarities between these two great times in a person’s life.
